Mixed acid fermentation
text:
In biochemistry, mixed acid fermentation is the metabolic process by which a six-carbon sugar is converted into a complex and variable mixture of acids. It is an anaerobic (non-oxygen-requiring) fermentation reaction that is common in bacteria. It is characteristic for members of the Enterobacteriaceae, a large family of Gram-negative bacteria that includes E. coli. The mixture of end products produced by mixed acid fermentation includes lactate, acetate, succinate, formate, ethanol and the gase
