Root Bacteria

Bacteria. Area of soil around the roots is ritch in nutrients released by plants and is therefore attracts  growth medium for both helpful and pathogenic bacteria. Root related beneficial bacteria promote plant growth and provide protection from pathogens.

 

How do plants use bacteria?

Bacteria fall into four functional groups. Most are decomposers that absorbs simple carbon compounds, such as root exudates and fresh plant litter. By this process, bacteria convert power in soil organic matter into forms useful to the rest of the organisms in the soil food web.

bacteria. Bacteria are microscopic living organisms, normally one-celled, that can be found everywhere. They can be harmful , such as when they cause infection, or beneficial, as in the process of fermentation (such as in wine) and that of decomposition.

Do plants absorb bacteria?

A one-celled bacterium, by contrast, is too big to be absorbed by roots. That's crucial to the food chain, because soil is alive with bacteria; if the plants we eat took up the critters regularly through the roots, they'd be chock-full of pathogens and we'd be sick all the time.
