Acetous fermentation or Acetic fermentation, A form of oxidation in which alcohol is converted into vinegar or acetic acid by the agency of a specific fungus ({Mycoderma aceti) or series of enzymes.

Note: Alcohol. Water. Acetaldehyde. 2. C2H4O + O [rarr] C2H4O2
Note: Acetaldehyde. Acetic acid.

See Germ theory.
Glycerin fermentation, The fermentation which occurs on mixing a dilute solution of glycerin with a peculiar species of schizomycetes and some carbonate of lime, and other matter favorable to the growth of the plant, the glycerin being changed into butyric acid, caproic acid, butyl, and ethyl alcohol. With another form of bacterium ({Bacillus subtilis) ethyl alcohol and butyric acid are mainly formed.
Lactic fermentation, The transformation of milk sugar o other saccharine body into lactic acid, as in the souring of milk, through the agency of a special bacterium ({Bacterium lactis of Lister). In this change the milk sugar, before assuming the form of lactic acid, presumably passes through the stage of glucose. C12H22O11.H2O --> 4C3H6O3
Note: Hydrated milk sugar. Lactic acid.
Note: In the lactic fermentation of dextrose or glucose, the lactic acid which is formed is very prone to undergo butyric fermentation after the manner indicated in the following equation: 2C3H6O3 (lactic acid) --> C4H8O2 (butyric acid) + 2CO2 (carbonic acid) + 2H2 (hydrogen gas).
