I need 3 ways bacteria can help the environment and the names of 3 bacteria that helps the environment

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

1) Helps Digestion of Food: (LActobacillus) : Helpful in the conversion of milk to Curd. Lactobacillus acidophilus resides in the intestines where it helps in the digestion of food. 2)Dietary Supplement: (Bacillus Coagulans) : You might be knowing this or might have used it. Its usually present as a probiotic i.e as a dietary supplement and useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea. and other diseases. 3) Antibiotics: Penicillin is a perfect example here. Helps in increasing antibodies in our body which thereby helps in the destrucion of the foreign pathogen..:)
