Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Performing Basic Microbiology Skills

Explanation should include the steps of the fermentation process, incorporating the following concepts about the process:

- It involves the release of energy from an organic compound.
- It does not require oxygen (i.e., is anaerobic).
- It concludes with an electron transfer to an organic compound (i.e., one of the products used or formed during the fermentation process).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are applications of fermentation?
- What temperature, media, and carbohydrate source must be used for fermentation?
