Bacteria. Yes, but much of it can't be broken down and it is passed in the feces.
Intestinal flora
All the broken down foods that are too large to pass through the walls of the small intestine enter the large intestine, then in the large intestine the food is all pushed down removing any waters and then it finally comes out the anus. (:
insoluble fibers can not be broken down by bacteria in the large intestine and doesnt dissolve in water.
The small intestine and more specifically the duodenum is where the bile from the stomach is broken down into an absorbable form.
The stomach precedes the small intestine in the digestive system. After food is swallowed, it enters the stomach where it is further broken down before passing into the small intestine for absorption of nutrients.
When the material of a potato is broken down in the small intestine, it is eventually broken down into glucose. The subsets are starch, maltose, maltase, and finally glucose.
After the small intestine, the digested food enters the large intestine, also known as the colon. The main function of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food, and to help the body eliminate solid waste.
Fats aren't broken down in the small intestine :/
Nondigestible materials, such as fiber, are broken down primarily in the large intestine by gut bacteria through fermentation. This process produces short-chain fatty acids and gases like methane and hydrogen, which can be absorbed or excreted by the body.

Most digestion occurs within the small intestine. So yes, food is broken down while in the small intestine.
