mayamishra 		first of all we must know what is lactic acid - Lactic acid (IUPAC systematic name: 2-hydroxypropanoic acid), also known as milk acid, is a chemical compound that plays a role in several biochemical ...

the lactic acid fermentation is performed by bacteria lacto bacillus
Lactic acid fermentation is a biological process by which sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, are converted into cellular energy and the metabolic product lactic acid. It is the anaerobic form of respiration that occurs in some bacteria and animal cells in the absence of oxygen. During homolactic acid fermentation, one molecule of glucose is ultimately converted to two molecules of lactic acid. In heterolactic acid fermentation, sometimes referred to as the phosphoketolase pathway, the products of fermentation are one molecule of carbon dioxide, one molecule of ethanol, and one molecule of lactic acid.

Lactic acid fermentation - when a muscle doesn't get enough oxygen (either poor circulation or it's working harder than blood can get it oxygen), the muscle goes into anaerobic respiration: burning energy without oxygen. The product of this is lactic acid. The soreness of muscles after a workout is due to lactic acid buildup. Once oxygen gets into the area, the lactic acid is broken down to further metabolic products.
