General Aspects of Fermentation
Processes
All cells break down complex organic compounds into
simpler molecules. Cells use some of the energy that
is released in this process to make ATP.

What is glycolysis?

What is anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration has two major stages: Krebs cycle, and the
electron transport chain. 13
Glycolysis
Substrate-level phosphorylation

Fermentation is an energy yielding process where
organisms converts organic molecules (such as
sugar) into energy, carbon dioxide or/and ethanol
depending on the respiration pathway.

Homolactic fermentation:
• It occurs in the muscles of animals when they need energy faster than the
• It also occurs in some kinds of bacteria (such as lactobacilli) and some fungi.
• It is this type of bacteria that converts lactose into lactic acid in yogurt, giving
• These lactic acid bacteria can be classed as homofermentative, where the end

Substrate limited inhibition means that the microbes do not
