Fermentation that includes the anaerobic conversion of glucose to pyruvate via the glycolytic pathway. The anaerobic enzymatic conversion of organic compounds, especially carbohydrates, to other compounds, especially to ethyl alcohol, yielding energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucose, the aldohexose gluco-hexose. D-glucose is dextrorotatory and is sometimes known as dextrose; it is an important source of energy for living organisms and is found free as well as combined in homo- and hetero-oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. The chemical reactions and pathways involving acetate, the anion of acetic acid. The anaerobic chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of acetate, yielding energy in the form of ATP. The anaerobic chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of homoacetate, yielding energy in the form of ATP.
