The variety of technological uses to which microorganisms are put is enormous. In brewing and baking, the alcohol and carbon dioxide produced in fermentation by yeasts are utilized. Bacterial fermentations are used industrially to produce organic acids and solvents. In food manufacture, microorganisms are used for the production of vinegar, the preservation of olives, sauerkraut, and pickles, for the souring of cream in making butter, for the ripening of cheese, and for the curing of tea and tobacco. 4, record 2, English, - micro%2Dorganism

During fermentation organic matter is decomposed in the absence of air(oxygen) ;hence, there is always an accumulation of reduction products, or incomplete oxidation products.... There are also many microbiological processes that go on in the presence of air while yielding incomplete oxidation products. Good examples are the formation of acetic acid(vinegar) from alcohol by vinegar bacteria, and of citric acid from sugar by certain molds.... 4, record 6, English, - aerobic%20fermentation

La fermentation de la matière végétale. On distingue deux types de fermentation : 1. La première a lieu à l'air libre : elle est appelée dégradation aérobie. L'activité de certaines bactéries provoque la décomposition de la matière végétale. Cette décomposition dégage du gaz carbonique et de l'ammoniaque. Elle donne un sous-produit solide, le compost, qui est un excellent engrais naturel. [...] 2. La fermentation méthanique. 4, record 6, French, - fermentation%20a%C3%A9robie
