"But can you actually eat bacteria?" Even Jing Shu showed a look of disgust. Insects could at least be considered a source of collagen, but what about bacteria? What's in them? Are they even nutritious? If I'm not mistaken, all food is generally referred to as carbohydrates. If these bacteria lack that composition, never mind whether they're tasty, could they even be digested once eaten? And if they're not carbohydrates, how could they possibly sate hunger?
So, the question is, are bacteria considered carbohydrates?
Xie Zhuzhu pointed to the dense, swirling masses of bacteria in the adjacent container and said, "These belong to the genus of Spiral-shaped bacteria. Don't be fooled by their appearance; they actually play a significant role. They perform nitrogen fixation, converting nitrogen into a form usable by living organisms. Ordinary Spiral Bacteria are only 50 microns, but look at these little cuties—they've been magnified considerably."
