    Fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration that bacteria use to generate energy in the form of ATP. There are different types of fermentation defined by the substrate fermented and products produced. Some fermentations lack substrate level phosphorylation but generate a proton gradient through transport proteins to produce ATP. Syntrophy occurs when two organisms degrade a substance cooperatively and transfer electrons or intermediates neither could break down alone.

    ORGANIC SUBSTRATES
    ADP ATP

    CELL BIOMASS

    ADP ATP

    FERMENTATION PRODUCTS
    (acids, alcohols, CO2, H2, NH3)

    Coenzyme-A

    Type of fermentation :
    1. substrate fermented
    2. fermentation product

    Type of fermentation :
    1. substrate fermented
    2. fermentation product

    Redox balance by H2 production

    Fermentation lacking substrate level


    phosphorylation
    but coupling with energy-link ion pump

    Propionigenium modestum
    (-20.5 kJ/mol)

    Via methylmalonyl-CoA
    and its membrane-bound

    Fermentation lacking substrate level


    phosphorylation
    but coupling with energy-link ion pump

    Oxalobacter fermigenes
    (-26.7 kJ/mol)

    Syntrophy :
    A situation where 2 different organisms
    degrade a substance and conserve
    energy of doing it,
    That
    Neither could degrade separately

    Ex. Interspecies H2 transfer in denitrifying


    bacteria, SRB, homoacetogens and
    methanogens
