Description
What is the difference between Respiration and Fermentation? How is yeast metabolism influenced? This lecture answers those questions and more. A brief overview of the overall concept of "taking up wort nutrients, assimilating these nutrients and leading to either new biomass or beer production" is discussed before digging into biochemical carbohydrate pathways. It is intended for you to have a clear understanding of the important balancing act between energy coupling and REDOX reactions.
Learning Objectives
- Distinguish fermentation from respiration
- Explain Pasteur and Crabtree Effects
- Explain the roles of ATP and NAD
- Describe glycolysis and yeast alcohol production
- Differentiate primary and secondary metabolites
