Despite their relative simplicity, bacteria carry out most of the key chemical changes of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur in the living world. The eukaryotes, like us humans, perform relatively small changes to their molecules. Benefits of bacteria include: * Bacteria are the only living things which can fix nitrogen. They are therefore essential to all other life on Earth. * Some plants such as beans keep nitrogen fixing bacteria as symbionts in nodules on their root. * Bacteria are the major decomposers of dead plants and animals, so freeing their atoms to be re-used by other living things. * Cows and other animals keep bacteria in their stomachs, as only bacteria can break down the tough cell walls of plants. * People use bacteria to turn wine into vinegar and milk into cheese and yogurt. * They are increasingly used in biotechnology to manufacture proteins.

no
What is a benefit to some bacteria that use alcoholic fermentation?
The benefit to using some bacteria for alcohol fermentation is that the bacteria will convert the sugars in the alcohol and carbon dioxide. The sugar will break down to form pyruvic acid and then into ethanol. Without the bacteria, the sugars or glucose would not break down properly, and the fermentation will not work.
