Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Spoilage bacteria are microorganisms too small to be seen without a microscope that cause food to deteriorate and develop unpleasant odors, tastes, and textures. These one-celled microorganisms can cause fruits and vegetables to get mushy or slimy, or meat to develop a bad odor.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two types of fungi that are important in food spoilage are yeasts and molds.
