👉 Porphyrogenite, also known as porphyrolactate, is a form of protein that is found in the cells of bacteria and archaea. It is produced when bacteria convert pyruvate into lactate, which then converts to ethanol (which can be used as a fuel source). This process is called fermentation. Porphyrogenite has been identified in various types of bacteria, including those from marine environments, but it is not found in the human body.
