Sugar’s effect on your health The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week‚ which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar)‚ dextrose (corn sugar)‚ and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread‚ breakfast cereal‚ mayonnaise‚ peanut butter‚ ketchup‚ spaghetti sauce‚ and a plethora ofmicrowave meals. In the last 20 years‚ we have increased sugar consumption in the U.S. 26 pounds

Chapter 4 - Methane production 4.1 Microbial consortia and biological aspects of methane fermentation 4.2 Molecular biology of methanogens 4.3 Developments in bioreactor technology References Methane fermentation is a versatile biotechnology capable of converting almost all types of polymeric materials to methane and carbon dioxide under anaerobic conditions. This is achieved as a result of the consecutive biochemical breakdown of polymers to methane and carbon dioxide in an environment

The Development of Djibouti A country’s development depends on many factors; mainly the physical and cultural features of the nation. My selected country is Djibouti. Located in the Horn of Africa and bordered by Ethiopia and Somalia and the Gulf of Aden on the East‚ Djibouti has a total land area of approximately 22‚000 kilometers and is dry‚ desolate‚ bare and covered by igneous rocks and dust from centuries of volcanic activity. Sharp cliffs‚ deep ravines‚ burning sands and thorny shrubbery

infections received from hospitals. Infections that patients with weaker immune systems/who are sick tend to get as was stated earlier are TB (Tuberculosis)‚ VRE (Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus)‚ VAP (Ventilator Associated Pneumonia)‚ C-diff (Clostridium difficile)‚ UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)‚ and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). VRE is described as an inherited altered stretch of enterococcus that was first created in humans who were exposed to an antibiotic called vancomycin

Use of Enzymes in Food Industry - Food industry utilizes a variety of enzymes for processing of various foods‚ e.g.‚ production of various types of syrups from starch or sucrose (a- and β- amylases‚ glucamylase‚ pullulanase‚ invertase‚ and glucose isomerase)‚ meat/protein processing using proteases‚ removal of glucose and or molecular oxygen (O2) using glucose oxidase and catalase‚ use of lactase in dairy industry and use of enzymes in fruit juice and brewing industries. Glucose oxides are obtained

Bacteriophage are readily available in soil and marine communities. The purpose of this lab was to investigate the bacteriophage (If present in sample collected) by testing the phage on a specific strain of bacteria and to observe its characteristics. This same approach can be used when testing for resistance evolution within bacterial strains. Our hypothesis states that bacteriophage will not be present within our sample from East Lake. With the use of a phage buffer and soft agar‚ it provides an
