Fermentation (fermentatio) - enzymatic breakdown into simpler compounds of organic substances, mainly carbohydrates; the predominant number of types of fermentation occurs in the cells of all organisms under anaerobic conditions with the release of energy, which is used to maintain life.
Fermentation types:
Butyric acid - proceeding with the formation of butyric acid, leading to spoilage of canned food; mainly the result of the activity of such microorganisms as obligate anaerobes;
Methane - leading to the formation of methane and carried out, as a rule, by microorganisms that are able to break down fiber, for example, during wastewater treatment;
Lactic acid - leading to the formation of lactic acid; used in combination with microorganisms in the production of fermented milk and some other food products;
Alcoholic (synonym: alcoholic fermentation) - the result of the flow is the formation of alcohol and carbon dioxide; excited by yeast-like organisms and some molds;
Acetic acid - leading to the formation of acetic acid, initiated under aerobic conditions by some microorganisms.
