  2. Fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation

    Fermentation uses a range of substrates and forms a variety of metabolic end products. Of the 55 end products formed, the most common are acetate and lactate. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Of the 46 chemically-defined substrates that have been reported, the most common are glucose and other sugars.

  3. Anaerobic respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_respiration

    Anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation generate ATP in very different ways, and the terms should not be treated as synonyms. Cellular respiration (both aerobic and anaerobic) uses highly reduced chemical compounds such as NADH and FADH 2 (for example produced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle) to establish an electrochemical gradient (often a proton gradient) across a membrane.

  4. Cellular respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration

    Anaerobic respiration is used by microorganisms, either bacteria or archaea, in which neither oxygen (aerobic respiration) nor pyruvate derivatives (fermentation) is the final electron acceptor. Rather, an inorganic acceptor such as sulfate ( SO 2− 4 ), nitrate ( NO − 3 ), or sulfur (S) is used. [ 16 ]

  5. List of fermented foods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fermented_foods

    Tibicos water crystals made with Muscovado. This is a list of fermented foods, which are foods produced or preserved by the action of microorganisms.In this context, fermentation typically refers to the fermentation of sugar to alcohol using yeast, but other fermentation processes involve the use of bacteria such as lactobacillus, including the making of foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut.

  6. Carbohydrate catabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_catabolism

    In aerobic respiration, oxygen is required. Using oxygen increases ATP production from 4 ATP molecules to about 30 ATP molecules. In anaerobic respiration, oxygen is not required. When oxygen is absent, the generation of ATP continues through fermentation. There are two types of fermentation: alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

  7. Cellular waste product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_waste_product

    Cellular waste products are formed as a by-product of cellular respiration, a series of processes and reactions that generate energy for the cell, in the form of ATP. One example of cellular respiration creating cellular waste products are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Each pathway generates different waste products.

  8. Anaerobic digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_digestion

    Here, the end products are constantly or periodically removed, resulting in constant production of biogas. A single or multiple digesters in sequence may be used. Examples of this form of anaerobic digestion include continuous stirred-tank reactors, upflow anaerobic sludge blankets, expanded granular sludge beds, and internal circulation reactors.

  9. Aerobic fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_fermentation

    In these tissues, respiration and alcoholic fermentation occur simultaneously with high sugar availability. [5] Fermentation produces the toxic acetaldehyde and ethanol, that can build up in large quantities during pollen development. It has been hypothesized that acetaldehyde is a pollen factor that causes cytoplasmic male sterility ...
