The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect that a glucose concentration has on the rate of fermentation. This was done by adding a variety of different glucose concentration into a test tube‚ siting in a water bath. The carbon dioxide would be collected in the test tube and therefore would measure the rate of fermentation.

We did not calculated growth rate (g/L/h); we just measured the concentration of cells during fermentation (g/L). The growth difference between the control and the AKR treated experiment does not present a significant
