I've searched all over google and I can't find anything that's exactly what I'm looking for and my project about this is do tomorrow :/
Scientific name for a decomposing bacteria?
There are several names. Decomposing bacteria by itself is a good name.
Saprobic bacteria is a good term; a saprobe being an organism that lives on decaying organic matter. Similarly, it could be Saprotrophic bacteria, meaning the same thing.
Another alternative would be heterotroph, but that just means that the bacterium needs to eat food to obtain energy, so it is not specifically for decomposers.
I hope this is what you are looking for!
