  2. Acidogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidogenesis

    It is a stabilization process that reduces odor, pathogens, and waste volume. Hydrolytic bacteria form a variety of reduced end-products from the fermentation of a given substrate . One fundamental question that arises concerns the metabolic features that control carbon and electron flow to a given reduced end-product during pure culture and ...

  3. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

  4. Anaerobic digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_digestion

    The process of acidogenesis is similar to the way milk sours. Acetogenesis; The third stage of anaerobic digestion is acetogenesis. Here, simple molecules created through the acidogenesis phase are further digested by acetogens to produce largely acetic acid, as well as carbon dioxide and hydrogen. [21] Methanogenesis

  5. Acetogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetogenesis

    Acetogenesis is a process through which acetyl-CoA [1] or acetic acid is produced by anaerobic bacteria through the reduction of CO 2 via the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway.Other microbial processes that produce acetic acid (like certain types of fermentation or the oxidative breakdown of carbohydrates or ethanol by acetic acid bacteria) are not considered acetogenesis.

  6. Ketone bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies

    Ketone bodies are water-soluble molecules or compounds that contain the ketone groups produced from fatty acids by the liver (ketogenesis). [1] [2] Ketone bodies are readily transported into tissues outside the liver, where they are converted into acetyl-CoA (acetyl-Coenzyme A) – which then enters the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) and is oxidized for energy.

  7. Acetobacter aceti - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetobacter_aceti

    A. aceti has long been used in the fermentation industry efficiently producing acetic acid from alcohol as an obligate aerobe dependent on oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. [4] A. aceti, classified as an acidophile, able to survive in acidic environments, possesses an acidified cytoplasm, providing most proteins with acid stability. [3]

  8. Methanogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanogenesis

    Methanogens do not use oxygen to respire; in fact, oxygen inhibits the growth of methanogens. The terminal electron acceptor in methanogenesis is not oxygen, but carbon. The two best described pathways involve the use of acetic acid (acetoclastic) or inorganic carbon dioxide (hydrogenotrophic) as terminal electron acceptors: CO 2 + 4 H 2 → CH ...

  9. Acid–base homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_homeostasis

    An acid-base diagram for human plasma, showing the effects on the plasma pH when P CO 2 in mmHg or Standard Base Excess (SBE) occur in excess or are deficient in the plasma [23] Acid–base imbalance occurs when a significant insult causes the blood pH to shift out of the normal range (7.32 to 7.42 [ 16 ] ).
