What organisms use lactic acid fermentation? • Fermented vegetables – Pickles! • The sugars in the pickles are converted to lactic acid, preserving the pickle • Lactobacillus bulgaricus – a bacteria – Yogurt • Lactose is fermented by the bacteria to lactic acid, which both thickens the yogurt and restricts the growth of bacteria that poisons the food • Humans – during anaerobic exercise • lactic acid is fermented in muscles where oxygen is depleted – makes muscles burn
