I have Bailey and Ball's book right here and I can see nothing in it to
support any of your statements. In fact, Bailey was a huge proponent of
fumigation of all sorts: formalin, acetic acid, ethylene oxide, and
irradiation. He very briefly mentions beneficial micro-organisms:

ferment cellulose, enabling the insects to subsist on a diet of wood. A
related class of such organisms, but of unknown significance, live in the
gut of honey bees.
