Yes, Escherichia coli (E. coli) can ferment sucrose. Fermentation is a metabolic process where microorganisms convert sugars into other products like acids or gases. E. coli possesses enzymes that allow it to ferment various sugars, including sucrose, producing byproducts such as acids and gases as a result. This ability is often tested using specific laboratory techniques to identify and characterize different bacterial strains.
