To reduce nutrient cost for lactic acid production, spent cells, a by-product in fermentation processes, were used as a nutrient source and the treatments of spent cells were investigated in this study.

Untreated spent cells did not show significant effect on lactic acid production.

After acid-hydrolysis, spent cells gave an increase in productivity to some extent, but the low glucose consumption indicated a nutrient limitation.

The nutrient limitation was overcome easily by supplementing a small amount of yeast extract (YE).

The combination of 5 g/L YE and the spent cell hydrolyzate (SCH) had high performance in lactic acid production relative to 15 g/L YE.

Moreover, two kind of acid-hydrolysis methods, diluted acid based hydrolysis and concentrated acid based hydrolysis, were also compared.

The diluted acid based hydrolysis had the advantages over the concentrated acid based one in lactic acid production due to its less nutrient destruction and lower salt inhibition.

When diluted acid based SCH was supplemented, YE supplementation could be cut down to 20% with no significant decrease in productivity and yield.

Which organism uses lactic acid fermentation to release energy from glucose and produces this lactic acid in the process?

Lactic acid fermentation is used by certain bacteria and fungi, but the most common example is in muscle cells in animals. During intense exercise when oxygen is limited, muscle cells switch to lactic acid fermentation to continue producing energy from glucose.


What human muscles cells use lactic acid frmenation to?

Human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation primarily during intense exercise when oxygen levels are low. This process allows for the rapid production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell, by converting glucose into lactic acid. While this enables sustained muscle contraction during short bursts of activity, the accumulation of lactic acid can lead to muscle fatigue. Ultimately, lactic acid can be converted back to glucose in the liver once oxygen levels are restored.


How does swimming use lactic acid?

After a while of swimming, your muscles use lactic acid. It uses it through Lactic acid fermentation. It results in more energy.


How do human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation to produce energy during intense physical activity?

During intense physical activity, human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation to produce energy when there is not enough oxygen available. This process converts glucose into lactic acid, releasing energy that can be used by the muscles for short bursts of activity.


When there is no oxygen for your cells the cells use this to get energy?

lactic acid fermentation. (produces lactate and is only about 100th as efficient as cellular respiration)

How much ATP does lactic acid fermentation produce?

The production of lactic acid is an anaerobic process. This type of reaction do not involve the use of oxygen.

What happens when we use the oxygen in our cells faster than it can be replaced?

When oxygen in cells is used faster than it can be replenished, the cells switch to anaerobic metabolism, producing lactic acid as a byproduct. This can lead to a buildup of lactic acid, causing muscle fatigue and eventually leading to muscle cramps or soreness. If severe, it can result in a condition known as lactic acidosis.


Explain why muscles must use lactic acid fermentation instead of cellular respiration during intense physical activity?

Because mammalian muscle cells are genetically programmed to perform lactic acid fermentation, not ethanol fermentation.
