An anaerobic process that uses an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor to oxidize NADH to regenerate NAD+, allowing for glycolysis to continue. Involves glycolysis, but not oxidative phosphorylation, generating a maximum of 2 ATP

Fermentation

A catabolic pathway in which energy is released from nutrient oxidation to be used by the cell

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.
