FermentationThe formation of ATP in fermentation is not coupled tothe transfer of electronsFermentation is a substrate phosphorylation, anenzymatic process in which a pyrophosphate bond isdonated directly to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) by aphosphorylated metabolic intermediate The phosphorylated intermediates are formed bymetabolic rearrangement of a fermentable substrate suchas glucose, lactose, or arginineExample: fermentation of a molecule of glucose(C6H1206) yields a net gain of two pyrophosphatebonds in ATP and produces two molecules of pyruvicacid (C3H603)SHIHEZI UNIVERSITY
