A microbiologist is characterizing a newly discovered microorganism that requires an anaerobic environment to live and uses either lactic acid or alcoholic fermentation in its energy metabolism.Which would be a way to determine the type of fermentation the microorganism uses?
A) Measure the stoichiometry of ATP formed per glucose molecule catabolized.
B) Measure the stoichiometry of NAD+ oxidized per glucose molecule catabolized.
C) Analyze whether NAD+ is regenerated in the cytosol after it is reduced during fermentation.
D) Analyze whether two molecules of pyruvate are formed for every one molecule of glucose fermented.
E) Analyze whether one molecule of carbon dioxide is released for every one molecule of glucose fermented.
