Legumes have been an important source of protein, carbohydrate, fat, minerals, vitamins and health- promoting compounds. Legumes play an important role in the traditional diets of the world population and are a valuable material for the food and animal feed industries (Schuszter-Gajzago, 2004). Pigeon pea is a perennial plant widely grown in the semi-arid tropics of Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Pigeon pea, besides its main use as dhal, fresh green seeds is used as a vegetable (Nene and…

The experiment was conducted in order to discover the type of carbohydrate that made up the known and unknown solutions presented in the lab. After heating the monosaccharide solution containing the Benedict’s test, the change of color from blue to orange proved that monosaccharides showed a positive reaction to the test. When an Iodine test was conducted on the monosaccharide solution, the carbohydrate resulted in no color change from its original yellow/brown color, showing a negative reaction…

Vibrio Fischeri, Rachel Brown: BM304 Revision Guide 2016 Physiology: Vibrio Fischeri are Gram negative, motile rods. One of the key features that can be found in the species Vibrio Fischeri is its bioluminescence. This bioluminescence comes from one of the products of a reaction catalysed by the enzyme luciferase (see biochemistry and metabolism). Vibrio Fischeri are easy to grow and they display chemotaxic behaviour. It is best to grow Vibrio Fischeri at 28 degrees Celsius. (DeLoney-Marino CR,…

Report on Result and Discussion on isolation of protein from spinach leaves In this experiment, we tried isolating an actual protein called Rubisco from spinach leaves. The full meaning of these Rubisco means Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase which is an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of a carbondioxide group to ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate during sugar production in green plants. Although Rubisco is an abundant protein in plants, it is not the major component in all spinach…

INTRODUCTION The experiment studied mushrooms, which are members of the phylum Basidiomycota and the kingdom Fungi. The study tested three types of mushrooms: Agaricus bisporus commonly known as the button mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus or the oyster mushroom, and Tricholoma magnivelare or the shiitake mushroom. The three types of mushrooms decompose different forms of organic matter and occupy different habitats. The oyster mushrooms live on tree roots and decompose dying hardwood trees; the…

A Look At How The Cornmeal You Use In Your Recipes Is Made If you're putting a line of foods on the market, you should understand all of the ingredients in them so you can answer questions from customers. If you use corn products, it's helpful to know the difference between cornmeal and corn flour when it comes to how they are produced. Here is a quick look at the corn milling process and how cornmeal is produced in bulk. Cornmeal Has A Medium Texture The corn milling process produces three…

Citrate: The citrate test gave a positive result, showing a dark blue color in the tube, caused by the alkaline conditions present, which is caused by the bacteria’s ability to utilize the citric acid present in the citrate slant. The positive result confirms the presecnce of the citrase enzyme. H2S Production: The H2S test yielded a positive result, giving rise to a black precipitate created by iron and H2S combining. Proving the presence of the desulfurase enzyme. Indole: The indole test…
