The following information is about Bacteria.

Bacteria Defined

Any of numerous widely distributed unicellular micro-organisms exhibiting both plant and animal characteristics, and ranging from harmless and beneficial to those that cause disease. Extremely small (.4-10 microns), single-cell microscopic organisms. They are the most numerous organisms on earth and are formed everywhere, especially in soil. Because they are microscopic they are easily airborne, and they are carried in water as spores are some of the most resistant forms of life known. Bacteria reproduce at an astounding rate given proper growth conditions (food source, moisture, temperature). Most are saprophytic (feed on non-living organisms), though many are parasitic (feed on living organisms). In water damage situations, the by-product of bacterial growth is the characteristic “sour” odor associated with initial stages of damage, and later, bacteria are responsible for the musty odor associated with mildew. Most bacteria (and their odors) are killed or controlled with extreme heat and sunlight (ultraviolet), or by such chemicals as alcohol, chlorine, ammonium chlorides, and others.
