Fermentation does not use an electron transport chain to generate PMF. Instead, some fermenters can generate PMF by reversing the direction of the ATP synthase enzyme. This allows the enzyme to use the energy from the hydrolysis of ATP to pump protons across a membrane, generating a PMF that can then drive active transport.
