Large scale Enzyme applications 1. Detergents Bacterial proteinases are still the most important detergent enzymes. Lipases decompose fats into more water-soluble compounds. Amylases are used in detergents to remove starch based stains. 2. Starch hydrolysis and fructose production The use of starch degrading enzymes was the first large scale application of microbial enzymes in food industry. Mainly two enzymes carry out conversion of starch to glucose: alpha-amylase and fungal enzymes

Cellular Respiration  Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules‚ like glucose‚ to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2 The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis‚ the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water In eukaryotes‚ glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.

inoculate Gram-negative tests. Once the colonies were isolated and the appropriate Gram-negative and Gram-positive tests were conducted‚ the identification of both unknown organism were fairly easy. The results from the Coagulase test‚ the Oxidase test‚ and the Nitrate test were used to help identify the unknown Gram-positive bacterium. The coagulase test was negative‚ therefore of all the possible Gram-positive bacterium the unknown organism could either be Staphylococcus simulans or Micrococcus

Abstract: It is important to be able to identify pathogenic bacteria that may be causing harm. Tomato crops can be affected by several different pathogenic bacteria. By using Koch’s postulates‚ it was determined that Pseudomonas syringae was the bacteria causing rot. There are four criteria that must be met when using Koch’s postulates. They are that the organism must be fund in all infected‚ the organism must be isolated in pure culture then once reinnoculated in a healthy host‚ must cause the

Yeast which is also known as Saccharomyces Cerevisiae is a unicellular eukaryotic Fungi means that is made up of one cell with a nucleus(“What is Yeast”).Yeast is a very practical product that is used in mainy way like when baking Yeast helps raise the dough and also yeast is used in the process of making wine.The Reason why yeast was chosen to was to see how yeast can metabolize different sugars and how much Co2 they release when when metabolizing.To test the yeast at the lab we used 4 different

These are some of NARIs used for depression and other mental and behavioural disorders: bupropion (Wellbutrin‚ Zyban)‚ atomoxetine (Strattera)‚ maprotiline (Ludiomil)‚ viloxazine (Vivalan) and eboxetine (Edronax). Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs). This type of antidepressant is the first to be developed and used as a treatment for depression. Although effective in changing brain chemistry and lifting the fog of depression‚ they are not as popular as newer antidepressants

THE GLUCODAY DIABETIC MONITORING DEVICE. INTRODUCTION The GlucoDay® Diabetic monitoring device is used to continuously monitor blood glucose level all day long. Patients using invasive self-monitoring devices assess blood glucose irregularly because of the associated pain and inability to carry out measurement at night while they are sleeping (Boland et al.‚ 2001; Maran et al.‚ 2002). Precise and accurate continuous monitoring of blood glucose level using the GlucoDay® device is however of immense

trigger the monocytes which then become macrophages. The macrophages become activated by the cytokine and begin to attack any tissue in its general vicinity. This could lead to severe tissue damage.

Although many people believe that poison ivy is harmless after the plant has died‚ that isn’t the case. Urushiol has been found to stay on a surface for several years. The
