Chapter 22.3, Problem 8RIA
Summary Introduction
The fermentation is important for the microbes that are facultative anaerobes that can able to survive in anoxic and oxygen environment. These microbes do not possess the electron transport chain to transport electron. There are four fermentation pathways which are based on the terms of alcohol or acid they produce.
