Unit 3.1 DB: Metabolism

Industrial fermentation is the use of microbial fermentation to make products useful to humans such as bread, beer, wine, cheese, biofuel and sewage treatment. 

• Describe one example of industrial fermentation. 
• Your description should list the reactants (inputs), products (output), and organism used. 
• Be as specific as possible.  For example, different cheese are made using different microorganisms and slightly different ingredient.
• Lastly, explain the advantages and disadvantages of a microorganism using fermentation to generate energy compared to aerobic respiration.
