👉 Coccigenic is a term used in the field of microbiology, specifically within the realm of fermentation and bacteria. It refers to certain strains of bacteria that are capable of producing toxic gases when they ferment organic matter or food. These gases can include carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Coccigenic bacteria are often used in industrial processes, such as the production of ammonia gas, which is released into the atmosphere during fermentation processes.
