Question: Thanks for answering my question!! But, Is there any other bacteria that smells like something we find familliar?

No problem 🙂
Yes I’m sure there are many others, but they are usually bad smells like smelly feet and rotten milk. A nice smell produced by bacteria is one my old boss is now working on. Bacteria that produce the ‘smell of the seaside’. The smell is hard to describe, but I’m sure everyone has smelt it before.
Heres a link to the newspaper article:
