Biology

The organisms that perform alcoholic fermentation are bacteria and yeast.

Some bacteria are capable of alcoholic fermentation. For example, certain species of Zymomonas bacteria can perform alcoholic fermentation. They break down sugars (such as glucose) in the absence of oxygen to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. This metabolic process is useful in various industrial applications related to biofuel production.

Yeast is a well-known organism for alcoholic fermentation. In the absence of oxygen, yeast cells use the process of alcoholic fermentation to obtain energy. They break down glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide...
