Mixed acid fermentation

Mixed acid fermentation is an anaerobic fermentation where the products are a complex mixture of acids, particularly lactate, acetate, succinate and formate as well as ethanol and equal amounts of H₂ and CO₂. It is characteristic for members of the Enterobacteriaceae family.^[1]
