Mixed Acid Fermentation is a biological process by which a six carbon sugar is converted into complex mixture of acids. It is an example of anaerobic fermentation reaction which is commonly seen in bacteria.

The fermentation produces lactate, acetate, succinate, formate, ethanol, H_{2} and CO_{2} and their formation depends upon the presence of certain key enzymes in the bacterium.

The Methyl Red test is used in detecting occurring of mixed acid fermentation pathway when glucose is provided to microbes by using ph indicator. If the fermentation pathway has taken place, the mixture of acids will make the solution very acidic and causes red color change. The Methyl Red test belongs to the group called as IMViC tests.

Luden [163]
Hippocampus. This is a type of amnesia called anterograde amnesia which manifest as inability to form new memories after the brain was damage. This can also lead to impairment of remembering new facts and events.  The area in the brain that is associated learning and memory is the hippocampus. Any damage in this area whether due to hypoxia, stroke, or any form of pathology can cause anterograde amnesia. This is a part of the limbic system that plays a role in consolidation of short term to long term memory and spatial memory that allows us to navigate. This area is located under the cerebral cortex.
