Do You Enjoy The Subject On Bacteria And Fungi Like Me?

Something that is common though between bacteria and fungi, is that both of them a great decomposers. Scientists have proven that, for every gram of soil, about five million bacteria exist in it. As a result of this, when animals die and fall to the ground, these bacteria get to feed on it and usually within a short period of time, one can only see the bones of the dead animal. This is achieved because the bacteria helped in decomposing the animal. Fungi on the other hand being heterotrophy, secrete digestive enzymes and absorb the resulting soluble nutrients from their host.
