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,
and
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.

During the winter season, the tree branches get dormant.
<u>Explanation:</u>
As the winter season starts, many plants show very slower metabolism that is the growth of the plants become very slow.
During the winter, there is very low amount of sunlight that the plants receive and so the synthesis of chlorophyll by the plants also in very small amount, and so there is least amount of sugar to metabolize by means of a slower Photosynthesis.
These tree branches become dormant during winter season, and it is mostly covered with the scales.
