Does E. Coli Do Mixed Acid Fermentation?
Does E. Coli Do Mixed Acid Fermentation? Under anaerobic conditions, E. coli uses a mixed acid fermentation in which various products like acetate, succinate, ethanol, formate, lactate, hydrogen and carbon dioxide are synthesized (Clark 1989). The fluxes to these products and to biomass in E. coli is combined in such a way that a redox
