Understanding Different Types of Fermentations
Alcoholic fermentation involves the production of ethanol, commonly carried out by yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae. On the other hand, lactic acid fermentation results in the production of lactic acid through two types: homo-fermentative and heterofermentative pathways. Different substrates and
