It is the process of chemical breakdown of a substance by a yeast, bacteria, or any other microorganisms.

Halophiles

Extremophiles thrive in environments with very high concentrations of salt.

Bacteria

The kingdom also referred to as "true bacteria" is the prokaryotic kingdom that has been known for more than a hundred years, primarily because these are the bacteria that cause disease in human beings.
