First, certain intellectuals argue that the processes occurring in the current social environment produce a situation where individuals are free to create their own eating habits and choices from the vast selections of food products within supermarkets, restaurants, retailers, farmers markets, etc, (Beck & Beck-Gernsheim 2001). Therefore, in distinction to previous historical periods, individuals in society are faced with a widespread variety of edible products, allowing for a diversity of…

Bubonic plague, a deadly disease that is transported to humans through fleas, has been a worldwide issue from as far back as the year 1347 A.D. This disease has caused more than 200 million deaths since its first rampage in Europe. The bacteria Yersinia pestis has been researched to be the main cause of bubonic plague, but at one time there were many speculations as to the cause of this plague. Inspired by S. Scott and C. Duncan’s “Biology of plagues” and “Return of the Black Death”, George…

Table Of Content • What are carbonated beverages • Why beverages are to be carbonated • Basic component of carbonated beverages • Types of carbonated beverages • History of carbonated beverages • Production of carbonated beverages • Advantages and disadvantages of carbonated beverages Introduction What are carbonated beverages? Carbonated beverages are said to be those drinks that contain carbon dioxide dissolved in water. The presence of this gas (co2 )creates bubbles in the liquid.…

5% salt broth, inoculating the broth with the unknown, and incubating it at 37C. For a catalase test, a small amount of unknown was transferred onto a slide. A drop of H2O2 was then added to the slide, and observations were recorded. A Mannitol Fermentation test was then conducted by obtaining a Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) plate. The unknown was streaked onto the plate and incubated inversely at 37C. Next, a Coagulase test was performed by obtaining a vile of citrated rabbit plasma and 3 sterile…

Staphylococcus aureus is a part of the family Staphylococcaceae. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive coccus that forms in clusters. There are over 30 staphylococcus organisms but S. aureus causes the largest amount of staph infections. The staph infections can include; “skin infections, pneumonia, food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, and blood poisoning (bacteremia)” (NIH). Staph infections can present in numerous manners including; pimples or boils. An individual can be a carrier of S.…

Corporation 's have lied to you about consumers and minimum wage workers being the backbone to their industry. Enzymes are. Enzymes are biological protein catalysts that encourage chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to take place. Once the reaction is complete, enzymes are left unchanged and able to move on to the next reaction. For this reason, enzymes have proven to be valuable resources for industries. The reusability of enzymes are especially useful…

for my project which are: A toothpaste solution, bleach solution vinegar and salt solution, and vinegar/baking soda solution My hypothesis is that the salt and vinegar solution is going to win because vinegar is a liquid that is produced from the fermentation of ethanol into acetic acid . vinegar consists of acetic acid(CH3COOH, water and trace amounts of other chemicals which may include flavorings. The concentration of the acetic acid is variable. Distilled vinegar contains 5-8% of acetic…

is essential part of the success in this domain of business. Numerous molecular biology services are available, extended to cater wide range of clientele consisting of biopharma industry, agriculture industry, bio fertilizer and seed companies, fermentation industries, pharma companies, research institutes and healthcare…

sulfur reduction, due to the lack of black precipitate. As well as negative for indole, there was no color change. Lastly, it was negative for motility because there was no growth outside of the initial stab. I next performed the phenol red broth fermentation tests. These were only left in the incubators for twenty-four hours because they produced a result right away. Both broths glucose and lactose had changed to the color yellow. This happened because the ph decreased causing the color change…

31 - Describe the biochemistry of the Cori cycle and the glucose–alanine cycle. How are they regulated and under what physiological conditions are they activated? The Cori cycle and glucose-alanine cycle are two mechanisms that involve cycling of nutrients between the liver and muscle. Lactate and alanine are two glucogenic molecules that are each converted to pyruvate via a series of enzymatic reactions in the liver to ultimately be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis and transported…
