Well, the title says it all, can you please recommend me review papers on bacterial fermentation? I'm interested on literature that cover all the possible pathways hopefully. Thank you very much.
Hi Salvador Ramirez-Flandes ,
I know you asked this question a few months ago but it just came up in my feed today.
I am not sure exactly what context you need the fermentation in (e.g. biotech vs human health) but I have found some reviews for you that should cover most of the information required while also framing fermentation in a larger context. Please see the articles below along with the mentions of their authors:
Article Formation of propionate and butyrate by the human colonic mi...

If you could clarify whether you are interested in fermentation in the context of biodegradation, human health, biotechnology applications such as biofuel perhaps I could be of better service. I hope that this helps and please let me know if you would like to discuss things further!
Thank you Daniel Gregoire for your answer. I was interested in an academic review (not neccesarily related to a particular application such as those you mention) about all the explored posibilities for bacteria to accomplish fermentation. I was (and still I am) interested in a complete guide to all posible electron donors and acceptors within the organic molecules, hopefully associated with the functional genes and taxa for which they have been described. Thanks again for your input. Best regards.
May I recommend checking the Brock, Microbiology textbook 13th edition if you can obtain a copy? The chapter on fermentation summarizes a number of common fermentation and contains the information you seek. I know there are some pdf copies available online, perhaps through an academic library, or I am sure you could purchase an e-book/hard copy for a modest price. Either way it is a good resource to have. I wish I could be of more help, best of luck.
