User:HarappanBoyz/Facultative anaerobic organism

Pathways of respiration
Facultative anaerobes generate ATP through alternative electron acceptors in the absence of oxygen. In order to complete such a cycle, alternative pathways are used.

Nitrate Respiration
nitrate used as electron acceptor

Fumarate Respiration
fumarate reduction to succinate

Sulfur Respiration
polysulfide reductase reduces polysulfides

Electron Transport to Oxidized Metal Ions
Metal ions as electron acceptors in place of oxygen
