Peanut Oil Synthesis

Improved Essays
Acid forming elements are chlorine, phosphorus, and sulfur (different from alkaline-forming elements). These elements are the primary element in foods containing moderate to large amounts of protein (except for milk and a few other dairy products). I decided on using peanut oil because peanuts yield an acid, thus they contain acid-ash. Acid-ash residue is inorganic radicals that form acid ions in the body, causing lower pH making the urine more acidic. Acid urine favors the excretion of kidney stones consisting of calcium and magnesium phosphates, carbonates, and oxalates. It also enhances the effect of some medications used for urinary tract infections. So it can boost the effects of something used against bacteria, but can it kill/prevent bacteria growth by itself?

My thoughts on this are that by eating foods containing acid-ash there will be a negative effect on your body like causing urine to be more acidic and possibly causing osteoporosis, so how will the acid-ash present in the peanut oil affect the bacteria?
Additionally, fermentation acid is formed by glucose and other six-carbon sugars converted into cellular energy and the metabolite lactate. Low pH and high concentration of fermentation acids can prevent the growth of many bacteria. Since acid-ash is present in foods like the fermentation acid, I think that the acid-ash should affect the bacteria in a similar way to how the fermentation acid does.
However, there is a fermentation acid-resistant bacteria that contains low delta pH and are cable of generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which are compounds consisting of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups, present in all living tissue and cells. The acid-resistant bacteria grow with low intracellular pH and is in most cases Gram-positive with high intracellular potassium concentration, and even acid-sensitive

    All of the isolates shown in Table 1 were resistance to S. aureus and were considered antibiotic producers. However, only isolate 12 and 16 showed resistant to the unknown Gram-negative organism. All of the antibiotic producers were then tested against Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas putida, Acinetobacter baylyi, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter aerogenes by the streak-plate method, which can be seen in Table 2. As demonstrated in Table 2, none of the antibiotic producers were found to be resistant against Enterococcus faecalis or Pseudomonas putida. Table 2 also showed isolates 3 and 4 were resistant to Acinetobacter baylyi, isolate 12 was resistant to Escherichia coli, and isolates 12 and 16 were resistant to Enterobacter aerogenes.…

    acidovorans (2) matched the isolate bacteria; however, blast sequence only identified a highest of 88% 16S rRNA gene with max score base match of 636 bases. For a significant identification, 97% value would be needed. The MIC assay showed the isolate being resistant to all concentrations of ampicillin as the bacteria grew and formed biofilms in each one. For the DDA, the isolate bacteria did not grow abundantly throughout the ampicillin or the positive control as expected, although, it did have susceptibility to ciprofloxacin. However, this susceptibility became weaker as the first DDA was incubated for a longer period and a few colonies grew in the ciprofloxacin zone of inhibition.…

    Antibiotic Resistance Antibiotic resistance (AR) is where formerly effective medications are having less and less impact on bacteria. The few gram-negative AR resistant bacteria discussed were MERSA resistant staph, KPC, and the NDM1 enzyme with its gene found on 11 different bacterias. Alexander Fleming, founder of the first antibiotic even warned us about this very thing. Now more than ever there is an increasing urgency to find an answer to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.…

    Several medications can cause a disease called Xerostomia which is dry mouth leads to dental caries. Many medications can decrease saliva resulting in dry mouth. According to an article, “Oral Side Effects of Common Prescription Medications,” published on medactive.com states, “the saliva in our mouth protects the teeth from decay with its antimicrobial components that help rebuild tooth enamel. Without enough of it, the teeth begin to deteriorate and break down”. This is because saliva in our mouth helps to maintain a balanced and healthy environment for beneficial bacteria to grow.…

    When acid rain falls on water, it causes the water to absorb the aluminum, turning the entire body of water acidic which then makes it's way to the soil and the streams where animals, marine and terrestrial, can get poisoned by the acidic water. On mountains, the acid can take effect on the trees which then won't be able to get enough water as the aluminum makes it's way underground and into the roots ("Acid Rain Facts, Acid Rain Information, Acid Rain Pictures, Acid Rain Effects - National Geographic"). As one can see, acid can affect any kind of liquid, even the water, but what about the drinks that us humans…

    Using a specific example discuss a possible target for the development of anti-mycobacterial therapeutics ATP synthase is a main enzyme used to produce ATP in respiration of a cell. It makes use of a proton gradient in the mitochondrial cell membrane to generate ATP. By transporting protons back across the membrane, using ADP and a phosphate ion to create ATP. Normally most bacteria can gain enough ATP to grow optimally through substrate level phosphorylation, however it has been shown that M. tuberculosis, both the active and the latent version, do not produce enough ATP to grow sufficiently.…

    Klinger’s iron agar is a multiple test medium that will detect the fermentation of glucose and lactose and the production of hydrogen sulfide resulting from the breakdown of the amino acid cysteine (Alverno College, 2014). According to the fermentation reaction my unknown was a yellow color which indicated that it is acid/acid with gas. The acid/acid butt demonstrate that my unknown bacterium has fermented both glucose and lactose, producing acids that cause the pH indicator to turn yellow. In the citrate test some bacteria can use citrate as a sole carbon source (Alverno College, 2014).…

This science fair experiment is important because it can test the amount of acid is in certain types of candy. It is not good for our bodies to have too much acid.

    Turning peanut butter into diamonds may be an innovative process in which a variety of people will be able to use the product of the experiment for a diverse array of things, such as fashion accessories or as little electronics components. A natural diamond takes a long time to form itself and it is highly expensive when it is done, so making these other types of diamonds may help to obtain what society wants with a costly, but faster process. But this idea has its own cost. Diamonds are found in the Earth’s crust, where the temperature and pressure are concentrated in very high levels.…
