Fermentation

beer, then work up to two glasses on the weekends, doesn’t make the individual a drunk. Illogically to expect the worse just for being a social drinker. Many people use alcohol as self-medicating instead of pharmaceuticals prescriptions. Natural fermentation for a naturalist is going be their choice over putting a modified chemical in their bodies. In pronouncement of 18, the fallacy in this statement has too many questions. Coin tossing is a guessing game or by luck to see which comes up,…

The Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) digestive system and how they have adapted Tannin in their diet. 17201576 Tannins are a rich secondary metabolite (Barbehenn, R., & Constabel, C. 2011) that is found in a variety of plants including ferns, monocotyledons and dicotyledons which bind to proteins to form a compound known as tannin protein complex (T-PC). (R. Osawa et al, 1995). This protein complex is not easily broken down by enzymes in the mammalian digestive track. For a native species such…

2.00-2.60, the pH of vinegar is within the range of 2.40-3.40, and the pH of cider vinegar is 3.10. These ingredients lower the pH of the canned product for food safety but can have other functions such as helping pectin to set or assisting in fermentation. 3.…

ELVIS (Extraterrestrial Landing Vehicle Integrated Sampler) was placed on Mars to collect soil samples from the surface of the planet. The scientist’s goal, when ELVIS was launched, was to obtain soil samples from the planet that contained microbes distinguishable from those on Earth. However, when ELVIS returned home it was terribly damaged. The suit material and skin of ELVIS had degraded during the mission. Our goal as microbiologists was to determine if the microbes present in the soil…

Introduction The request for drink have high antioxidant become famous among the health alert people on the nutrient content of the product they consume from their drink.

They are a detachment of the larger group of energy products from sports drinks, which are advertised to enhance sports routine. Drinks have many brands and ranges of energy drinks. There are…

unknown is not an oxidase-producing microbe. Using Appendix E of the General Microbiology Laboratory lab handbook, I narrowed down the unknown microorganism to Enterobacter aerogenes. Every test matched with my experimental results except for the fermentation of lactose. According to Appendix E, E.aerogenes is able to ferment lactose however my enterotube experiment yielded a negative result. I assume this difference is due to human error of misidentification of the color of the enterotube…

The red panda is a scientific phenomenon, generally scientists are able to trace a direct linage to a specific species relatively easy, but for this creature that is not the case. A red panda can be compared in size to a large house cat, they range between 20 to 26 inches from head to body with a tail extending an additional 12 to 20 inches, and weigh around 12 to 20 pounds. They have similar physical characteristics to that of the giant panda and a raccoon, the face of a red panda typically has…

the liver that causes the gut to become more permeable. Wang et al., (2013) demonstrated in mice models that bacteria cells and bacterial products translocate into the portal vein via the leaks created by the acetaldehyde, the product of ethanol fermentation in the colon, before and after dysbiosis occurs. Lipopolysaccharides and flagellin are protein ligands present on and around Gram-negative bacteria that would be among those translocating, and they bind to toll like receptor (TRL) 4 and TLR5…

“Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in a most delightful way, “ sand Mary Poppins. Well, of course it does! What better way to mask the bitter taste of medicine then lace it with sweetness.
