Bacteria play various roles in the ecosystem. Some are decomposers that feed on dead matter and wastes. They are abundant in the soil such as those that belong to the Phylum Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Acidobacteria. Some serve as producers by making their own nutrients either through sunlight (photosynthetic) or chemicals (chemosynthetic).
