Fermentation


Fermentation products contain chemical energy (they are not fully oxidized) but are considered waste products since they cannot be metabolised further without the use of oxygen (or other more highly-oxidized electron acceptors).

One process by which carbon-containing compounds are broken down in an energy yielding process. Fermentation occurs during times of low oxygen supply and is therefore known as a type of anaerobic respiration.

Fermentation
In its strictest sense, fermentation (formerly called zymnosis) is the energy-yielding anaerobic metabolic breakdown of a nutrient molecule, such as glucose, without net oxidation.

Alcohol fermentation is the formation of alcohol from sugar. Yeast, when under anaerobic conditions, convert glucose to pyruvic acid via the glycolysis pathways, then go one step farther, converting pyruvic acid into ethanol, a C-2 compound.

Fermentation
Without oxygen, cellular respiration could not occur because oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport system. The electron transport system would therefore not be available.

fermentation
A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end-product, such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid.

fermentation (alcoholic) A type of anaerobic respiration that yields carbon dioxide and alcohol; used in commercial fermentation processes, including production of raised bakery dough products and alcoholic beverages.

fermentation: an anaerobic process in which energy can be released from glucose even though oxygen is not available; occurs in yeast cells.
fertilized egg cell: an egg cell that has been fertilized by a sperm cell.

Chaim Weizmann (who later became the first president of Israel) developed a process for ABE fermentation (to produce acetone, butanol, and ethanol) using C. acetobutylicum and plant starch that was later pursued commercially.
