If the result of an unknown bacteria is “poor growth” and “red growth,” can this result be interpreted as “organism does not ferment mannitol?” Explain why or why not.
If the result of an unknown bacteria is “good growth” and “yellow growth,” is the unknown bacteria more likely Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis?
What conditions could result in the degradation of oils and fats during storage?
Kombucha requires two fermentation steps. The first one is partly aerobic and partly anaerobic. The aerobic growth occurs because the kombucha is allowed to brew exposed to oxygen. Where is the anaerobic growth occurring in the first fermentation step?
The second fermentation step is the step in which we add the kombucha to a sealed bottle therefore I'm confused as to where it can occur before we seal it.

The composition of the switchgrass is 37% cellulose, 24% xylan, 3% galactan, 4% arabinan, 20% lignin, 7% extractives, and 5% ash. A dilute acid pretreatment method is applied to the switchgrass before enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. The pretreatment hydrolyzes 10% hexosan and 90% pentosan into monomeric sugars. Approximately 30% of the hydrolyzed pentoses further react & are decomposed to furfural. Assume that there is no decomposition of the hydrolyzed hexoses. Further Assume that lignin, extractives, and ash do not change during the pretreatment. • How much of each lignocellulosic sugar (glucose, xylose, galactose, and arabinose) is produced when pretreating 1,000 kg (dry matter) switchgrass? How much furfural is formed? • Is water consumed or produced in these pretreatment hydrolysis and dehydration reactions? How much in each?arrow_forwardThe daily production of a growth-associated byproduct (P) is 250 kg/day.

Six bottles were prepared, and each bottle, except for the positive control, lacked a certain micronutrient. In the positive control, all nutrients were provided. Unexpectedly, the control setup still showed symptoms of micronutrient deficiency. Students later on found out that the relative humidity in the room was very high and transpiration was affected. 1.Explain the appearance of these symptoms in the positive control set-up in lieu of the importance of transpiration? 2.Theoretically, how will thermoregulation of tomato plants be affected if transpiration will not occur 3. Discuss internal factors that could affect the rate of transpiration of the tomato plant.arrow_forward
