Beneficial and Harmful Activities of Microbes

They are Useful in Research Because…

 
1.) They are so simple in structure that they are easy to study 

2.) Large numbers can be used to obtain statistically reliable data, at a relatively low cost (you can grow billions of them in a short time) 

3.) They reproduce rapidly, so you can observe the effects of genetic transmission quickly 
They are a necessary component of all living things
