Summary Introduction
Carbon serves as the backbone of all the organic compounds that are required by the cell. In addition to carbon source; energy source, nutrients, physical conditions, concentrations of oxygen as well as temperature are all required for the growth of the microbes. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus are the essential components that form a bacterial cell.
