Preferred Label : fermentation;
IUPAC definition : in microbiology, the process in which cells (microorganisms, plant or animal cells)
are cultured in a bioreactor in liquid or solid medium to convert organic substances
into biomass (growth) or into products.; in metabolism, the dehydrogenating degradation of organic substance by organisms or
cells under anaerobic conditions in which electrons are transferred to metabolites
which accumulate and are excreted in reduced form. fermentation is only possible if
the organism is able to gain energy by this process.;
