Study Of Alcoholic Fermentation By Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

Study of Alcoholic Fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae in presence of salt Alhasn Otaif Texas AM Corpus Christi Title of the Experiment: Study of alcoholic Fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae in presence of salt. Abstract: In the present study the process of fermentation in yeast has been studied. The study of fermentation is very basic and important study in biology in order to understand and develop concepts about anaerobic respiration. This study aimed at determining how the process of fermentation was affected by the presence or absence of salt in the culture media. Also, it was studied how glucose and yeast are crucial to the process of fermentation and absence of any one of them might effect the whole process and led to the complete cessation of fermentation and failure to produce carbon-dioxide. Introduction: Fermentation is the process which is prevalent among certain micro-organism where potential energy conserved in certain organic molecules is converted into some useful form of energy (ATP) in order to do work. Mostly, in the absence of oxygen, cells are capable of breaking down carbohydrates by the process of fermentation. Baker’s Yeast or more commonly known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a single celled micro-organism which is capable of undergoing alcoholic fermentation in presence of carbohydrate in order to produce ATP, carbon-dioxide (CO2) and ethanol. The carbohydrate (glucose) that is utilized in the process is converted into twoShow MoreRelatedThe Study Of Wine Making728 Words   |  3 PagesThe study of wine making is known as Vinification. Traditional wine making process includes: i) harvesting fresh grapes; ii) crushing and pressing grapes to get grape must; iii) fermentation; iv) clarification to get rid of undesired residue; v) bottling to sell immediately or ag ing to sell later. Fermentation is the process during which introduces microorganism artificially. Fermentation usually consists of two steps, alcoholic fermentation (AF), which is assisted by yeast to create alcohol, andRead MoreThe Effect Of Temperature And Ethanol On Saccharomyces Cerevisiae During Fermentation3458 Words   |  14 Pagesand Ethanol Production on Saccharomyces cerevisiae During Fermentation James Gwinn BIOL 820 Spring 2015 Abstract This paper reviews and analyzes the affect temperature and ethanol concentration have on the ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to continue fermentation. The impact of this variable on the bioethanol fuel industry and the wine/beer making industry is also examined. Experiments have been designed and completed, testing the response of S. cerevisiae when placed in environmentsRead MoreThe Nature And Importance Of Saccharomyces1687 Words   |  7 Pagesimportance of Saccharomyces to humans Introduction Saccharomyces is part of the genus of the kingdom Fungi that consists of many species of yeast. It is a eukaryotic organism that is unicellular in nature and is saprophytic- allowing them to process dead or decaying matter. The colonies of Saccharomyces produce at a rapid rate and usually develop in three days. Saccharomyces are smooth, flat and moist microorganisms ranging from white to cream in colour. The species of Saccharomyces possess typicalRead MoreHow Are Fungi Microorganisms?809 Words   |  4 Pagesresearched microorganisms (Howstuffworks, 2008). They can be used for things such as alcoholic beverages, baking, probiotics, and much more. They are eukaryotic Fungi microorganisms. True yeasts are unicellular and reproduce mainly by budding (The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 2004). Budding is an asymmetric division process of mitosis. Yeasts of the genus Saccharomyces are especially important to alcohol fermentation (The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 2004). In baking, yeast is used to actRead MoreDried Malunggay (Moringa Oleifera) Leaves in Ethanol Production6983 Words   |  28 Pagesingredient of many alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and distilled spirits (Britannica Encyclopedia). Here in the Philippines, ethanol distributors use sugarcane, corn, cassava and jatropha as their main source of ethyl alcohol. However, in the year 2011, a big problem has emerged in the production of ethanol. There is a lack of irrigated lands that caused the difficulty in ethanol production. Because of the statement mentioned above, the researchers will conduct a study about Dried MalunggayRead MoreMy Heartfelt Gratitude Towards The Project Coordinators Mr. J. J.k Srivastava3427 Words   |  14 Pages ABSTRACT This training is include isolation of yeast from different resources, comparative study of their growth curves. Initially different natural resources were taken and with the help of microbiological techniques yeast were isolated. With the help of spectrophotoscopy growth curves of these strains were generated. Motive of the study was to trace out the difference in the strains. Sources were chosen on the basis of their difference in ecotype so that a variationRead MoreSelection Of Yeasts From Local Dairy Products Essay1999 Words   |  8 Pagesfruit pulp, [3] soil [4] and in some cases in association with insects. [5] Yeasts had found their application in various fields, like in making of alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic beverages, baking, bioremediation, nutritional supplements and probiotics. [6][7][8] Using yeast as part of bioremediation process has also been reported. Saccharomyce cerevisiae can be used in order to remove BOD from cheese whey. During removal of BOD, production of single cell protein can also be carried out.
