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…

Hydnellum peckii goes by many common names. It is commonly known as Strawberries and Cream, the Bleeding Hydnellum, the Red-Juice Tooth, and the Devil’s Tooth. The fungus earns this name from the look of its fruiting body. The newly fruited mushroom body is a cream color with blood red secretions. Tooth-like projections emerge from the underside of the fungi’s cap. These teeth are slender, are less than five millimeters long, and are the structures that produce the spores on the fruiting body.…

Previous Experiments: https://explorable.com/mold-bread-experiment What Makes Mold Grow? We are going to perform a mold bread experiment to grow our own mold and find out whether mold does indeed grow faster at higher temperatures. What is Mold? Mold is something that we often take for granted, as something that makes us have to throw the bread away or the cheese smell bad.Mold is, in fact, a fascinating organism which has had many different uses over the years and our lives would not be the…

The alcohol Ethanol a chemical compound that is made up of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen and is produced by a fermentation process, this means that this type of alcohol is renewable, although there are non-renewable ways in which to produce this type of alcohol. This alcohol is often mixed into materials such as gasoline, this helps to allow it to be used as a fuel, and help preserve non-renewable materials that could be put to use in more important ways. The mixture of this is often only at a…

3.2.4.1 Proximate Analysis Proximate analysis is done to determine the moisture content, total ash, crude fat, crude protein, crude fiber and total carbohydrate of each mayonnaise samples with different grape seed extract percentages. 3.2.4.1.1 Moisture Content The moisture contents of mayonnaise samples with different grape seed extract percentages are determined by air oven drying according to the official AOAC method 930.15 (2003) with a slight modification (Babajide & Olatunde, 2010). First…

Hello everyone! Today, I’ll be excitedly speaking to you about my absolute favorite alcoholic beverage…wine! Also, I intend to educate by sharing information about some of the unknown benefits of aerating wine. Aerating certain wines will reduce ethanol and sulfites, help to remove sediment, and enhance the flavor profile, texture, and aromas (Smith, 2015). In my drinking years, I have consumed countless bottles of wine, and there are significant differences in aerated wine. Wines that have…

Understanding what are Nasal Polyps? What are Nasal Polyps? Nasal polyps, also known as Nasal Polyposis are the fleshy outgrowths that develop in the lining of the nose and para-nasal sinuses which are the air-filled spaces, linked to the nasal cavity. Nasal Polyps differs in their size and can be of various colors such as yellowish-brown or pink. Generally, the nasal polyps are teardrops shaped in the beginning and takes the shape of the matured grapes grown on a stem. Nasal Polyps are…

The organisms used in this lab are the Ascomycota fungi Sordaria fimicola. S. fimicola is made of haploid cells in a hyphae. A diploid cell is formed when two haploid nuclei bud off of the hyphae. This diploid cell then undergoes meiosis and mitosis forming eight haploid cells called a tetrad. The cells develop within an ascospore, and a group of ascospores is an ascus. An perithecia contains the asci (Glase, 1995). S. fimicola have a unique feature in their meiotic process which easily lends…

“How mold grows” 10th grade Mr.Tripp Sanders February 3rd, 2018 Purpose The goal of my project is to show everyone how mold grows. Mold grows everywhere. You have probably seen mold a lot. You have seen it mostly on bread and in drinks that have set a long time. Hypothesis Mold is going to grow on the one I sprayed with water because the one without the water is going to take longer to mold. Materials Ziplock bag 2 pieces of bread Spray bottle Water Warm areas Moist…

The spectrophotometer analysis of Escherichia coli growth during heat application The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate of Escherichia coli (E. coli) growth over 100 minutes in a liquid growth medium (control), and to determine the rate of E. coli growth over 100 minutes in a heated liquid growth medium. The prediction is that the control E. coli culture will grow at a faster rate exponentially over 100 minutes than the experimental bacteria culture. Consequently due to heat…
