Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Priceomyces

👉 Priceomyces is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Firmicutes, which belongs to the order Firmicula and class Bacteroidetes. These bacteria have a unique ability to metabolize sugars, specifically fructose, through a process known as pyrolysis or pyruvic fermentation. This process involves converting glucose into acetic acid (butyric acid) by the enzyme Pyroglutinase and then producing lactate, which is released from the cell membrane.
