INTRODUCTION The enzyme catalase converts hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and O2. The evolution of O2 causes bubbling. Thus‚ catalase-positive organisms that are mixed into hydrogen peroxide will cause bubbling (catalase-negative organisms will not). This test is good for distinguishing between Gram-positive cocci in chains (catalase negative) versus Gram-positive cocci in clusters (catalase positive). The coagulase test is used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus from coagulase-negative

Enzymes INTRODUCTION Enzymes are protein cells and they are found in the gut. They help to break down the food you eat. Enzymes are produced by living cells and they speed up reactions because they are biological catalysts. If we did not have enzymes‚ the reactions in our cells would be too slow to keep us alive. This means that they are extremely important for our survival. The properties of enzymes are: ⋆ They can be used many times‚ because they can speed up reactions without

grouped into primary events that include the metabolism of residual lactose and of lactate and citrate. There are different types of cheeses because there are many enzymes that are used to make the cheese‚ and also there are endless forms of molds that help age cheese giving each cheese its distinctive taste‚ texture and appearance. Enzymes are used in many food production processes to speed up the chemical reactions‚ which reduces water usage and energy consumption. The original objective of cheese

Cellular Biology furthers technology-Enzymes in the Dairy Industry Since ancient times‚ enzymes have played an important role in food production. Especially in the diary industry‚ some enzymes are required for the production of cheese‚ yogurt‚ and other dairy products‚ while others are used in a more specialized fashion such as improving texture or flavour of the product. Enzymes are used to catalyze the desirable reactions in industrial processes. Today‚ enzyme applications in such processing get

because the substrate for nylonase is polar overall‚ but has many nonpolar bonds. What makes me think that the nylonase enzyme is polar is that the substrate that would bind to the active site of nylonase has extreme polarity between carbon and oxygen‚ and between hydrogen and nitrogen due to their differences in electronegativity’s‚ but it still has the nonpolar bonds between carbons and hydrogens. Polar amino acids bond with polar substrates and nonpolar amino acids bond with nonpolar substrates and because

The Effect of Salt Concentration on Osmosis in Potato Cells We should first explain what Osmosis is. It’s a passage of water from a region of high water concentration through membrane to a region of low water. Semi membrane is a very thin layer of material‚ which allows some things to pass through them but prevent other things from passing through. The cells allow small molecules like Oxygen‚ water‚ Carbon Dioxide‚ Ammonia. But will not allow larger molecules like Sucrose‚ Starch‚ or protein‚ etc

What happens? For many reactions involving liquids or gases‚ increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the rate of reaction. In a few cases‚ increasing the concentration of one of the reactants may have little noticeable effect of the rate. These cases are discussed and explained further down this page. Don’t assume that if you double the concentration of one of the reactants that you will double the rate of the reaction. It may happen like that‚ but the relationship may well

Introduction I am going to try and measure the rate of respiration in yeast and find out what factors affect the rate of respiration. I am going to change the concentration of the glucose solution and I’m going to measure the volume of gas produced during respiration in cm³. Yeast contains enzymes. Enzymes speed up a chemical reaction – they’re biological catalysts. Yeast can respire both aerobically and anaerobic; the anaerobic respiration of yeast is known as fermentation. The equation for

Immobilization of Enzymes And Their Applications By‚ Shudhangshu Shekhar Kundu Introduction: What an enzyme? Enzymes are protein molecules‚ which serve to accelerate the chemical reactions of living cells (often by several orders of magnitude). Without enzymes‚ most biochemical reactions would be too slow to even carry out life processes. Enzymes display
