culture of Staphylococcus had been contaminated by a blue-green mold. So‚ during his observation he noted that colonies of bacteria near the mold were being dissolved. Then‚ out of curiosity‚ Fleming grew the mold in a pure culture and found that it produced a substance that killed a number of disease-causing bacteria. So‚ after further research‚ he named the substance Penicillin‚ and then published his findings in 1929‚ stating that his mold could potentially have more value if it could be produced in

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

Fonderia di Torino S.p.A. 1. Please assess the economic benefits of acquiring the Vulcan Mold-Maker machine. What is the initial outlay? What are the benefits over time? What is an appropriate discount rate? Does the net present value(NPV) warrant the investment in the machine? Initial Case Outlay Price of new machine (1‚010‚000) Current after-tax market value of old machine [130‚000+{(415‚807-130‚682) -130‚000}*0.43]= 196‚704 Net outlay for new machine -1‚010‚000+196‚704 = -813‚296 Appropriate

Raw Materials Rice cakes have only two critical ingredients—rice and water. The rice itself needs certain characteristics to produce the best quality cake and limit breakage. Sticky rice‚ whether white or brown‚ tends to work best‚ while long-grain varieties don’t expand during cooking as vigorously. Water is important early in preparation. Other ingredients like salt (added before popping or sprayed on after) and various flavorings are important considerations to taste-and nutrition-conscious consumers

some believe explains “the curse”. My second theory would be the scientific explanation behind the mysterious deaths. In 1986‚ Dr. Caroline Stinger-Phillip discovered the mystery behind the deaths. There seem to be mold growing on the walls of the tomb. The dust particles from the mold had a high allergenic potency. These men who entered the tomb first suffered an allergic reaction‚ symptoms from the reaction‚ was probably the cause of their deaths... Recent findings give a more convincing explanation

Introduction There has been much new advancement in the nano-technology field on a international level in recent years. The new advancements have drawn a increasing interest in nanometer scale surface coating. Ultra thin film coatings can be used in a wide range of applications as lubricants‚ anti-stiction layers‚ molecular glues‚ coupling agents or adhesion layers. The mentioned molecular coatings are used to modify material surface properties. The traditional coating deposition methods

Naturally Occuring Hazards: Aflatoxin Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring mycotoxin produced by three types of mold: Aspergillus flavus‚ Aspergillus parasiticus‚ and Asperilligus nomius (more rare). Aspergillus flavus is common and widespread in nature and is most often found when certain grains are grown under stressful conditions such as drought. The mold occurs in soil‚ decaying vegetation‚ hay‚ and grains undergoing microbiological deterioration and invades all types of organic substrates whenever
