Well since bacteria are in the monera kingdom they are saprophytic organisms meaning that they are decomposers or feeding on dead matter, usually producing methane as a by-product of this breakdown.
Bacteria can break down organic substances aerobically or anaerobically. For example, they can convert organic waste sewage into less harmful organic substances, and they help in the production of youghurt and cheese.
Hope it helped :))
