What is the fructose fermentation of bacillus cereus?

Answer 1

B. cereus utilizes fructose (Fructose +) and fructose has been shown to help B. cereus produce toxins (2009).

Answer 2

Bacillus cereus is able to ferment fructose through the glycolytic pathway, converting it into pyruvate. This process generates ATP and end-products such as lactate, acetate, and ethanol. The ability to ferment fructose gives Bacillus cereus a competitive advantage in certain environments where other carbon sources may be limited.
