Genesis 3:19/Job 17:16
"Once they begin to decompose, human bodies contain bacteria and fungal decomposers that are actually pretty rare in the rest of the world.
The decomposition system pivots around the dead body as a resource and that's mainly for food......It might seem like a discomforting thought but these microbes are essential to the natural world, and they break down corpses to eventually become part of the “decomposition ecosystem” and help with plant production.
Dr Devin Finaughty, who wasn’t involved in the study, spoke to IFLScience and said: “Decomposition is technically defined as the consumption of organic material by other organisms, [and is] distinct from physical degradation of organic remains by physical, erosive forces, like water."
