1.2 Statement of the problem
Microbes are everywhere in
the biosphere, and their presence invariably affects the environment
that they are growing in. While some micro organism are harmful to the
human and the environment some are of economic importance. Economic
importance of any organism refers to the advantages and disadvantages of
that organism to nature, the humans and the environment. According to
[3], The effects of microorganisms such as bacteria on their environment
can be beneficial or harmful or inapparent with regard to human measure
or observation. Bacteria and their phages are the oldest and most
abundant life forms on the planet. Bacteria have co-evolved with us and
are beneficial for human health. There are over 10 times more bacteria
in our bodies than there are human cells, and this natural microbiota is
essential for proper development, nutrition, and resistance to
disease.Bacteria play important roles in different fields such as
agriculture, industry etc4. Coversely, there are very little studies and
emphasis about the interactions between bacteria and the environment
that influence the delicate ecological equilibrium between humans and
microbes and thereby determine the balance between health and disease.
Thus these compelled the researcher to delve into this study to examine
the economic importance of bacteria in the environment.
1.3 Objective of the study
The broad of this study is to examine the economic importance of bacteria in the environment.Specifically, the study seeks to:
To ascertain if bacteria influences equilibrium between humans and environment.
To determine the role bacteria in agriculture and industry.
To investigate if bacteria is importance in drawing a balance between health and diseases.
1.4 Research Question
Does bacteria influences equilibrium between plant, animals and environment?
What are the role bacteria in agriculture and industry?
Is bacteria of economic importance in drawing a balance between health and disease?
