Vaginal yeast infection (Candida Vaginalis) Vaginal yeast infection is an infection of the vagina‚ most commonly due to the fungus Candida albicans. Causes Most women will have a vaginal yeast infection at some time. Candida albicans is a common type of fungus. It is often present in small amounts in the vagina‚ mouth‚ digestive tract‚ and on the skin. Usually it does not cause disease or symptoms. Candida and the many other germs or microorganisms that normally live in the vagina keep each other

How to cure nail yeast infection? Yeast infection in the nail bed or also with known as Onychomycosis‚ is one of the health problems that can happen to anyone. Symptoms onychomycosis is as inflammation‚ swelling‚ yellowing color and texture change in nails. Although sometimes painful‚ but if the infection has spread the pain caused even this condition is unavoidable. Onychomycosis itself is triggered by certain conditions‚ such as not normally the pH levels of the skin‚ immune system weakening

disorders. I want to study aging as a potent carcinogen using yeast as a model. Aging is indeed a potent carcinogen. Somatic mutation theory states that cancer is a genetic disease.It is so because cancer cells proliferate at a rapid pace as a result of mutations in their genes they have accumulated in themselves over the course of their lifetime. Hence the key points are Aging and Genetic instabilities that follows with it. I want to study yeast cells as a model as they are largely analogous to stem

Effects of Molasses Concentration on Yeast Fermentation The purpose of this lab was to determine how yeast cells are affected by the concentration of a food source‚ and for our purposes‚ the food sources were corn syrup and molasses. Our hypothesis was that the yeast cells would ferment the most when there was a higher concentration of molasses/corn syrup. In order to test this‚ we created 10 test tubes with decreasing concentrations of molasses/corn syrup using a serial dilution. Each test

Yeast Infection Treatment and Prevention Yeast infection may attack the inside and outside the body. It causes the itching‚ irritation‚ and discharge. Yeast infection treatment and prevention can be done by conventional steps and home remedies step. Here is the solution you may choose to treat and prevent this infection. When you come to the doctor for this case‚ the doctor will suggest you to the antifungal cream or suppository. It usually comes in the form of a cream‚ ointment‚ or suppository

high and low temperatures; low amounts of oxygen and water; and high levels of salinity‚ acidity‚ alkalinity‚ and radiation. Examples of extreme environments on Earth are hot geysers and oceanic thermal vents‚ Antarctic sea ice‚ and oxygen-depleted rivers and lakes. Organisms that have evolved special adaptations that permit them to live in extreme conditions are called "extremophiles."

The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effect that temperature has on the growth and respiration of yeast fermentation. The growth and respiration of the yeast can be determined by using a glucose/ yeast solution mixed with water in flasks set at different temperatures. Yeast in order to produce‚ has to make energy‚ to carry out all cellular functions (Spicer‚ & Holbrook‚ 2007). The concept that aerobic metabolism of all yeasts‚ is determined by the relative sizes of the transport rate of

The objective of it was to demonstrate that microbes are everywhere. We expected to find a variety of bacteria‚ moulds and yeasts. We were introduced to aseptic techniques as they help ensure that only certain microorganisms are present in the plate. These methods also guarantee that microorganisms do not escape

Yeast and Sugar - The Chemistry must be right Jansen‚ C. Gymnasium Felisenum‚ The Netherlands 14-04-2010 Summary Yeast can metabolize sugar in two ways‚ aerobically‚ with the aid of oxygen‚ or anaerobically‚ without oxygen. In this experiment yeast ferment sugars anaerobically. When yeast ferments the sugars anaerobically‚ however‚ CO2 production will cause a change in the weight of the sugar/yeast-solution. This raises a further question: What is the effect of different kinds of sugars
