Fermentation

A total of four microorganisms were isolated from the sample brought back from Mars. To identify the microorganisms which were isolated from the sample brought back from Mars, an rDNA sequence analysis was required. Every sequence had an S_ab score of 1.000 meaning the sequence is identical to the microorganism that it was matched to. Before gathering phenotypic results, we gathered phylogenetic data for the four microorganisms which includes Micrococcus luteus, Citrobacter freundii, Hafnia…

be inoculated. It will be stabbed into the slants to the bottom and will be streaked at the surface of the agar slants. The slants will be incubated for at least 18 to 24 hours at 37°C, and the results will be recorded afterwards. 4. Oxidation-Fermentation Test (OF Test) In OF slants, a loopful of culture will be stabbed halfway to the bottom of the slants. One slant will be placed with mineral oil to create an anaerobic environment. The OF slants will be incubated for 48 hours at 35°C, and the…

Yersinia pestis One of the five bacterium I identified was Yersinia pestis. It is a gram negative rod and these are the tests that identified it (and the results of those tests): gram morphology (g-rod), oxidase (negative), lactose fermentation (negative), indole (negative), urease (negative), motility (negative), orthine dicarboxylase (negative). These tests were chosen as directed by my flow chart. Discovery During a plague epidemic in Hong Kong in 1894, Yersinia pestis was discovered by…

color change will occur. All inoculated plates of the Neisseria sicca were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 48 hours, and transferred afterwards to a refrigerator for further inspection. The agar slant and deep agar tests included Oxidation-Fermentation test, LIA test, Carbohydrate tests, Gelatin Hydrolysis, Motility test, H2S Production test, Indole test,…

nutritional value. Carbohydrate Sources Brewer's rice has been used by manufacturers as a low-quality and inexpensive substitute for whole grain rice. Other non-desirable carbohydrate feed sources which are often added to pet food rations include grain fermentation soluble, cereal food fines, oat meal, maltodextrins, soy flour, and potato peels and culls. As you can see, these are mostly by-products of human food processing and consequently do not have desirable nutritional values. Coloring…

is needed for cellular respiration but in glycolysis it is not necessary which makes it an Anaerobic process. In the absence of Oxygen, the pyruvates created through Glycolysis are rerouted through Fermentation. In the absence of Oxygen in order to keep Glycolysis going it will need NAD+, so fermentation frees up an NADH. The Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain are both aerobic processes that require oxygen.Unlike glycolysis, the Krebs cycle does not take place in the cytoplasm instead…

derived coproducts such as lubricants, wax, alkenes, sulfuric acid paraffin wax and many more. (3) The process of creating biofuels is by the process of converting starch from corn, cereal, sugar cane and many other sugar rich biomasses into sugar, fermentation and finally distillation (4). This process was explained in class and also mentioned during the discussion by different group including ours. There are different generations of biofuels which are classified based on the carbon source…

The Kangaroo has a the largest ratio where as the Honey Possum has the smallest. This is because the Eastern Grey Kangaroo’s diet of fibrous plants is quite hard to digest making the use of long intestines and fermentation chambers for absorption of nutrients. Honey Possums have a small body and therefore a small digestive system as they only have to digest pollen and nectar, which is digested quite easily. The dingo is a carnivore and has a very effective digestive…

In the poems “Blackberry-Picking” by Seamus Heaney and “Blackberries for Amelia” by Richard Wilbur both authors center around the idea of Blackberries and what the blackberries symbolize in their lives. In “Blackberry-Picking”, Heaney focuses around the inevitability of time, and how though we may try to hold on to sweet moments of ripe berries, they pass. Wilbur takes a more optimistic viewpoint of life and shows how even though death is near for some, for others life and berry picking is just…
