Mixed acid fermentation followed. Alternative approaches have altered the redox and ATP balance to optimize the succinate yield. There are a number of other fermentation pathways that occur in microbes. All these pathways begin by converting pyruvate, but their end products and the key enzymes they require are different. These pathways include: Mixed acid fermentation Mixed acid fermentation is the biological process by which a six-carbon sugar e.g. glucose is converted into a complex and variable mixture of acids. It is an anaerobic fermentation reaction that is common in bacteria. It is characteristic for members of the Enterobacteriaceae, a large family of Gram-negative
