microorganisms help humans how can you point me somewhere?

Postby ecsezandohs » Wed Jan 30, 2008 12:51 am

Can you point me to a site that explains how microorganisms help humans, one that is reputable and explains it well so that i can paraphrase it.

would penicillin be one answer? because it comes from bread mold and produces a substance that kills bacteria?


thanks for any help in advance.
