The Three Basic Hypotheses on Fermentation Sciences put forward in the field of fermentation engineering by the author in 1997 could be named “Vital activity hypotheses on living microorganisms”.
The Three Basic Hypotheses on Fermentation Sciences has entered the textbooks “Principles of fermentation” (Science Press, published in 2005).
On the occasion of alma mater (Wuxi Light Industry College, now Jiangnan University) anniversary commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary, the author gives the copies of the hypotheses available in English and Traditional Chinese version, hoping hear opinions from domestic and overseas readers.
Vital activity hypotheses on living microorganisms
Metabolic energy sustentation hypothesis
The intermediate form of energy, used directly to drive vital activity (to do cell-work), can be called“metabolic energy”. Microbial cells rely on self-agencies for energy transformation, to change chemical energy (or light energy) into “metabolic energy”; The latter can be directly used to drive
