- An obligate fermenter is an organism that is only able to survive via fermentation is not capable of aerobic respiration.
- Lactic acid bacteria are gram-positive bacteria that can either be rod-shaped or spherical.
- These bacteria are capable of carbohydrate fermentation and the end product of this process of fermentation is lactic acid.
