project is to study the rates of fermentation of the following fruit or vegetable juices. 1. i. Apple juice 2. ii. Carrot juice 1 INTRODUCTION Fermentation is the slow decomposition of complex organic compound into simpler compounds by the action of enzymes. Enzymes are complex organic compounds‚ generally proteins. Examples of fermentation are: souring of milk or curd‚ bread making‚ wine making and brewing. The word Fermentation has been derived from Latin (Ferver which

removed a tissue sample for examination and referred the patient to a gastroenterologist for a barium xray and colonoscopy. While utilizing the methods stated above‚ the bacterium found was a facultative anaerobe due to the Gram Negative Rods‚ fermentation‚ and the production of indole. The specific Gram Negative Enteric Bacilli was Shigella dysenteriae. There are many reasons for knowing how to control bacterial growth as well as such as antimicrobial drugs‚ which assist the body’s defenses against

Density of Solutions Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to find out the densities of the known and unknown Solutions that were given to us. This can be found by dividing the mass by the volume of the Solutions. The other purpose of this lab was to perfect our skills in finding out the percentage error‚ uncertainties‚ random error‚ and systematic error. Variables: Independent: Mass Percentage of Solution (KCl); Unknown Solution; Temperature Dependent: Density Materials: 10.00 mL

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

How is the pH meter calibrated? Ans. Firstly‚ The pH meter is calibrated by using the two buffer solutions of pH 7.0 and 4.0 which is prepared and placed into small beakers or flasks. After that Rinse the glass electrode with the distilled water using the squeeze bottle and wipe it with the soft tissue paper. Secondly‚ Switch on the pH meter and place the electrodes into the pH 7.0 buffer solution then correct the pH meter indication and note down the reading after the beep sound comes. Wash down

* Would yeast produce more carbon dioxide with the presence of sugar at room temperature or in an incubator? | -Observing Cellular respiration in yeast cells. | Yeast Lab Background Information: Yeast is a tiny unicellular fungus that obtains energy from outside sources (a heterotroph) mostly sugars in order to grow and reproduce. Yeast is often used in bread dough to make the dough rise. With the presence of oxygen a yeast cell creates energy by performing cellular respiration and

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
