NOVA | Decomposers

We have all been victimized by decomposers: Lettuce rots, and bread becomes moldy. Bacteria and fungi often consume our food before we have had a chance to. However, if we stop to consider the important work that decomposers do, we may applaud their presence. This video segment from Interactive NOVA: Earth describes the role of decomposers in the living world.
