I understand that bacteria makes the food rotten (side note is this in all cases?) but how does the bacteria get there in the first place? It cant just show up in rotten food. Is it a part of the plant/animal it came from or is it a result of food processing? If it comes from plants/animals then does the bacteria harm the plant/animal it originally came from when it was alive? Is it produced by the original animal/plant or is it something the animal picks up in the environment?
In: Biology
Bacteria (and fungus and mould for that matter) is all over the place. The thing about food is, just like we eat food, so do the bacteria, mould, fungus, etc.
What happens when food rots, is that the bacteria etc. are rapidly multiplying and eating the food. They’re able to multiply really quickly because there’s so much food there for them.
