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

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Food is one of human sources of calorie‚ protein‚ fats‚ and nutrition. Yet‚ because of the highly nutritious content‚ food is susceptible to growth of microorganisms. By the presence of microorganisms in food‚ the food is more likely to have shorter shelf life. Thus‚ mostly it is resolved by the addition of antimicrobial substances to food‚ such as condiments and preservatives. Condiments and preservatives could inhibit the growth of microorganisms

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

Menusha Arumugam (K1) NAME OF DISEASES Malaria PATHOGENS & VECTORS A parasite called Plasmodium‚ which is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes There are four types of human malaria: - Plasmodium falciparum - Plasmodium vivax - Plasmodium malariae - Plasmodium ovale Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are the most common. Plasmodium falciparum is the most deadly. METHOD OF TRANSMISSION - Through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes - They breed in shallow collections

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

The effect of drugs‚ toxins‚ and other molecules on synapse and synapse transmission. The synapse is the small gap separating two neurons‚ the presynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse to the synapse‚) and postsynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse away from the synapse.) It separates the axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron from the postsynaptic neuron. The synapse is made of three major parts: a presynaptic neuron‚ a postsynaptic neuron‚ and a synaptic cleft. The presynaptic
