bakteerifaatioista
Bakteerifaatioista, or bacterial fermentation, is a metabolic process in which bacteria convert organic compounds, primarily carbohydrates, into different products such as acids, gases, or alcohols. This process occurs in the absence of oxygen, making it an anaerobic form of metabolism. Bacterial fermentation plays a vital role in various natural and industrial systems, including nutrient cycling, food preservation, and biotechnology.
In nature, bacteria utilize fermentation to survive in environments where oxygen is scarce, such as soil, deep
Industrially, bacterial fermentation is employed in the production of numerous products. Lactobacillus species are used in
The process involves enzymatic breakdown of complex molecules into simpler molecules that bacteria can metabolize. The
Bacterial fermentation continues to be a focus of scientific research, especially in developing sustainable industrial processes
