Primarily they are the main component of a Cell's membrane - bacterial & otherwise.

When a Cell grows it must also grow an excess of Cell membrane to allow the bi-lipid layer to encompass the 'X, Y and Z - 360 degree perimeter' of both of the daughter Cells. This same process applies equally to Eukaryotic Cells.

The cellulose-ic Cell Wall is what appears exterior to the bacterial Cell membrane, while eukaryotic Cells typically protect themselves with a glyco-protein Coat. Note that the bi-lipid layer is common to both.

The lipid layer helps from anything getting in the cell and, and keeping the cell useful for keeping its inner contents within the cell. A food that would spoil from lipolytic bacteria i think would be anything acidic
