Using Selective Media to Monitor the Fermentation Process of Cabbage and Cucumber‚ for Fourteen Days Abstract: Introduction: The goal of the ecological succession lab is to demonstrate succession with the fermentation of cabbage and cucumbers. The cabbage will ferment into sauerkraut and the cucumber will ferment to pickles during fermentation process that will changes the species structure and the community of time. During the fermentation process we watched the pH become more acidic‚ since

Yogurt Fermentation Yogurt is made by lactic acid fermentation. The main (starter) cultures in yogurt are Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The function of the starter cultures is to ferment lactose (milk sugar) to produce lactic acid. The increase in lactic acid decreases pH and causes the milk to clot‚ or form the soft gel that is characteristic of yogurt. The fermentation of lactose also produces the flavor compounds that are characteristic of yogurt. Lactobacillus

molecules in three stages‚ glycolysis: in the cytosol‚ the citric acid cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix and oxidative phosphorylation: at the mitochondrial inner membrane (1). The 6-carbon molecule of Glucose is broken down into 3-carbon pyruvate molecules during the nine stages of glycolysis. However‚ for this reaction to occur‚ 2 ATP molecules must be broken down to power the segregation process of glucose into 2 pyruvates (3). Throughout this process‚ glycolysis produces four ATP‚ which results

Bacterial Fermentation Secondary article Article Contents Volker Mu¨ller‚ Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t Mu¨nchen‚ Munich‚ Germany . Introduction Under anaerobic conditions‚ in the dark and in the absence of electron acceptors‚ organic compounds are catabolized by strictly anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria by internally balanced oxidation–reduction reactions‚ a process called fermentation. In fermentation‚ the organic compound serves as both electron donor and acceptor‚ and adenosine

How Carboxylic Acids and Alcohols React to Produce Esters: Esters and Ester Production: Esters are abundant and ever present‚ and are the chemical basis of almost all fatty acids and oils. Small esters are responsible for the aroma of fruits‚ perfumes and‚ by extension‚ wines and other alcohols. Esters are formed when a carboxylic acid and an alcohol chemically combine‚ losing a molecule of water in the process. Carboxylic acids are organic molecular compounds that form a homologous series

An experiment to demonstrate the effect of temperature on fermentation by yeast The purpose of this laboratory is to observe how temperature affects the metabolism of Grape juice by visibly noting the volume changes of identical food mixes containing yeast at different temperatures. Background Information If yeast is added to a liquid containing sugar and other nutrients‚ kept at an appropriate temperature (and deprived of oxygen)‚ it will turn the sugars into ethanol (alcohol) and carbon

Cellular Respiration and Fermentation: Experimenting With CO2 and Redox Reactions Julius Engel; Section 8 Abstract In this experiment‚ the subjects of study were fermentation‚ mitochondrial respiration‚ and redox reactions. In the first experiment‚ yeast was grown in various carbohydrate solutions at various temperatures. In the second experiment‚ succinate was added to various samples of a mitchondrial suspension‚ DPIP‚ and a buffer. Then after two blanks were used‚ the samples

Investigation of Fermentation Introduction Introduction Yeast (Saccharomyces)is a single-celled microorganism in the Fungi family. It anaerobically respires sugars to produce ATP‚ as well as the waste products ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. This process is known as fermentation. There are various factors that affect the rate at which yeast respires. Aim To investigate the effect of concentration of table salt (sodium chloride) on the rate of fermentation of sucrose using yeast‚ measured in the

Microorganisms Anaerobic respiration takes place in yeast and some bacteria‚ producing ethanol and carbon dioxide. They have been used in the making of many foods such as bread‚ yoghurt and vinegar‚ Lactic acid bacteria are the key ingredient in yogurt production as they they initiate the fermentation process. Many of the species used in yogurt provide added health benefit to those who eat them regularly and are often referred to as probiotics. Probiotics are believed to strengthen your immune
