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). Analyze whether two molecules of pyruvate are formed for every one molecule of glucose fermented.B). Analyze whether two molecules of carbon dioxide are released for every one molecule of glucose fermented.C). Measure the stoichiometry of NAD+ oxidized per glucose molecule catabolized.D). Measure the stoichiometry of ATP formed per glucose molecule catabolized.E). Analyze whether NAD+ is regenerated in the cytoplasm after it is reduced during fermentation.
