9 Aug 2009, 2:16 AM  |  Fungi or bacteria cause fermentation? You can hide this advertisement by registering. Do fungi or bacteria cause fermentation? - in concern to producing alcohol as a product...I know that yeast (uni-cellular FUNGI) can cause fermentation under the right condition of temperature, pH, with a suitable carbohydrate source. However...i also read (confusingly) that bacteria cause fermentation -> So do fungi or bacteria cause fermentation, or both??? |
