What Is Bacterial Metabolism?
Bacterial metabolism is the process which bacteria use to stay alive. Metabolic processes in bacteria are quite diverse and extremely fascinating, at least for people who are interested in this sort of thing. Bacteria have evolved an astounding number of ways to access energy available in the natural environment so that they can use it to stay alive and perform a variety of functions. Bacterial metabolism is also harnessed by other organisms; humans, for example, rely on bacteria in their gut to break down food into components which their bodies can access.
