The term fermentation is often used loosely by biochemical engineers. Biochemists have a more focused perspective (anaerobic) catabolism of an organic compound in which the compound serves as both an electron donor and acceptor and in which ATP is produced.

This is an essential topic for biochemists and biochemical engineers. Biochemical reactions involve both cellular and enzymatic processes, and the principal differences between biochemical and chemical reactions lie in the nature of the living systems. Biochemists and biochemical engineers can stabilize most organic substances in processes involving microorganisms.
