Hi:

I am curious as to whether any anaerobic bacteria can digest and
metabolize lipids? If so, do these bacteria produce foul-odors directly
as a by-product of their lipid-consumption?


Thanks,

check out Geobacillus stearothermophilus

aka Bacillus stearothermophilus


any bacteria named for loving fat 'stear' and heat 'thermo' are going to
be of interest to you...

"Thermo" are heat-loving. How does heat-loving relate to fat-loving? Or
is it by coincidence that fat-loving bacteria are also heat-loving?
