Homolactic bacteria produce lactic acid as their primary metabolic product during fermentation. These bacteria, such as Lactobacillus species, break down sugars (like glucose) into lactic acid through anaerobic fermentation. This process is important in food production, such as in the making of yogurt and sauerkraut, and also plays a role in the body, particularly in muscle cells during anaerobic conditions.
