Fermentation is an important metabolic pathway in many clinically significant bacteria. All of the following are characteristics of fermentation EXCEPT Fermentation produces a relatively slow growth rate due to the synthesis of 2ATP/glucose ATP synthesis in the absence of oxygen Production of acids, alcohols, and gaseous end products Fermentation end products can be used to identify specific species and are associated with specific disease states O All of the statements apply, no exceptions
