Where have bacteria been located?

There is no place where there are not bacteria. On our bodies, in our mouths, our intestines, in the sink, on the dish sponge, on the dish towel, in our shoes, in the washer, in the car, in the food, and so on, and that is only us - every other animal and plant has the same story, and then there is the dirt in the yard, between the cracks of the sidewalks, and even before we go outside, there they are in the rug, in the pillows, in the couch and chairs....

Where have bacteria been located?
The bottom of the ocean...
Reply:EVERYWHERE but they orginated from the ocean problaby from the bottom of the ocean where the dirt and mud is

Reply:Basically, bacteria are ubiquitous. They can withstand high temps, high acidity and high pressure. However, there are some archaea that are even more extreme with respect to tolerance levels - that is, there are places where archaea are found and bacteria are not. (Some hydrothermal vent locations, some acid spots, as in Yellowstone.) Still, bacteria play a huge role in the cycling of basic elements like C, S, N and Fe and are found everywhere.
Reply:Bacteria are everywhere. In the air, in water, in your food, in your eyes, inside of you. Really. Yeast in bread comes from bacteria bascillus. On your clothes, tiny parasites may have been the antagonists who made the hole in your shirt. In a single drop of water from a river can contain thousands of specimens, each one different. In your food, bacteria can be consumed in large numbers without notice. No wonder some people go to obsessive measures over bacteria; it's everywhere; it was the first life on earth, it'll be the last life of earth, we can't see it yet it can do so much.
