Microorganisms that excrete primarily sugar?

Exploring the idea of "living" matter, (possibly non-carbon based if necessary), decomposing by bacteria (or similar) into sugar.

In our world, sugars are held quite valuable by living systems, so this would be like throwing away fuel.

What kind of composition would these bacteria have to have chemically, and what kind of composition would their food have to have, for this to make sense in their (preferably not immediately dangerous to human) environment?

The organism should be able to excrete any form of sugar that is digestible to humans.

(Note that this is "Science Based" but doesn't have to be exact like "Hard Science")
