1. Both lactic acid and ethanol are found in soy sauce after the moromi phase is complete. At a minimum, how many species of microbes thrive in moromi? Justify your answer. a. Lactic acid and ethanol are produced from the same starting material, what is it? What products are produced in addition to lactic acid and ethanol?
Added by Amber M.
Step 1
These microbes are typically lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast. LAB are responsible for producing lactic acid through the fermentation of sugars, while yeast are responsible for producing ethanol through the fermentation of sugars. Show more…

Lactic acid, $\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}_{3}$, occurs in sour milk as a result of the metabolism of certain bacteria. What is the $\mathrm{pH}$ of a solution of $56 . \mathrm{mg}$ lactic acid in $250 . \mathrm{mL}$ water? $K_{a}$ for lactic acid is $1.4 \times 10^{-4}$
