About this document

Fermentation Pathways in Cyanobacteria by Diego Andres Ortiz Valle is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes research on the capacity for fermentation in cyanobacteria. It finds that while cyanobacteria are typically oxygenic phototrophs, they often thrive in environments that become periodically anoxic, requiring alternative metabolic pathways. The review describes the various fermentation pathways observed in cyanobacteria, including products like hydrogen, formate, acetate, and lactate. It evaluates the constitutive presence of enzymes enabling fermentation and analyzes the energetics,
