When these bacteria are fed sugar, they can synthesize color molecules through fermentation just like microorganisms such as yeast that have been used to produce alcohol for centuries.
The composting process uses microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi to break down the organic materials.
Mercury is methylated by anaerobic microorganisms such as sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in water and sediment.
