Introduce the topic of your paper. What microorganisms are of interest? Habitat? Applications for medicine and/or environment?

Current Microbial Biofuels: Ethanol Produced by Fermentation


Figure 1. An overview of glycolysis. A single molecule of glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvate. Pyruvate can then be decarboxylated to form acetaldehyde, which can act as the terminal electron receptor under anoxic conditions in S. cerevisiae to produce ethanol.
