Heterolactic metabolism is described as the cell catabolizing one molecule of glucose into one molecule of CO2, one molecule of glyceraldehyde phosphate, and one molecule of acetyl phosphate. The molecule of glyceraldehyde phosphate is reduced to one molecule of lactate, and the acetyl phosphate is reduced to one molecule of ethanol (or one molecule of acetic acid instead of ethanol, depending on its growing environment <ref name="Raunak">[https://raunakms.wordpress.com/2011/01/30/lactic-acid-bacteria/ Lactic Acid Bacteria. Raunak Shrestha. Retrieved 6/7/2015.]</ref>). Heterolactic fermentation allows the fermentation of hexoses and pentoses <ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=eZjIfud742wC&pg=PA33&lpg=PA33&dq=facultative+heterofermentative&source=bl&ots=QQYpzpsrvC&sig=kkyP7wUjgWiE2UV2qkIaRyxMMGA&hl=en&sa=X&ei=K_d0VYDJPLX9sATv_IXgAQ&ved=0CDIQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=facultative%20heterofermentative&f=false Handbook of Dough Fermentations.
