acetogenesis

Examples of acetogenesis in the following topics:

• Clostridial and Propionic Acid Fermentation

  • Acetogenesis is a biological reaction wherein volatile fatty acids are converted into acetic acid, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.
  • Acidogenesis is the second stage in the four stages of anaerobic digestion: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis.
  • Acetogenesis is one of the main reactions of this stage.

• The Degradation of Synthetic Chemicals in Soils and Water

  • During this time, the organic matter undergoes four different enzymatic transformations: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis.

• Electron Donors and Acceptors in Anaerobic Respiration

  • Acetogenesis is a type of microbial metabolism that uses hydrogen (H2) as an electron donor and carbon dioxide (CO2) as an electron acceptor to produce acetate, the same electron donors and acceptors used in methanogenesis.

• The Acetyl-CoA Pathway

  • This process, known as acetogenesis, will occur in organisms that are typically found in anaerobic environments.
