A fermentative bacterium is a type of bacterium that can produce energy through fermentation, a process that breaks down organic compounds like sugars without the use of oxygen. These bacteria typically produce byproducts such as organic acids, alcohols, and gases during fermentation. They play important roles in processes like food production, composting, and gut microbiota.
