Summary Introduction
To write:
About the cause of production of an inferior product in a microbial fermentation process.
Introduction:
A microbe or microorganism is an organism that might exist in a colony of cells or its single-celled form. Fermentation is a chemical degradation of a substance by yeasts, bacteria, or other microorganisms. It usually involves the bubbles and gives off the heat.
