Bacteria can fertilise ecosystems but need to be studied closely to identify potential pathogens, scientists say
Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of bacteria are being released by melting glaciers, a study has shown.
The microbes being washed downstream could fertilise ecosystems, the researchers said, but needed to be much better studied to identify any potential pathogens.
