Glucose Oxidase and Its Various Uses Aaron Truong Since glucose oxidase has an end product called hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a harmful substance to bacteria‚ it can be used to fight bacteria‚ or sterilize objects (can have various uses such as in hand sanitizers‚ toothpaste‚ soap‚ etc)‚ not just biosensors. Another key part in the reaction would be C6H12O6‚ or glucose. Glucose oxidase can be applied to diabetics as mentioned earlier‚ as biosensors work by "keeping track of the

Bacterial Fermentation Secondary article Article Contents Volker Mu¨ller‚ Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t Mu¨nchen‚ Munich‚ Germany . Introduction Under anaerobic conditions‚ in the dark and in the absence of electron acceptors‚ organic compounds are catabolized by strictly anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria by internally balanced oxidation–reduction reactions‚ a process called fermentation. In fermentation‚ the organic compound serves as both electron donor and acceptor‚ and adenosine

Alcoholic Fermentation Lab Kylie Johnson 11-10-12 Introduction: Since we are regular human beings‚ of course we are going to consume a lot of energy in our lifetime. Most of the energy we consume comes from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource‚ and we are using these non-reusable ones uncontrollably. This is why we need to use more renewable resources. A way that we could do that is by the alcoholic fermentation of ethanol. Ethanol is a byproduct in corn‚ and it is one product

Yeasts’ capability of undergoing ethanol fermentation‚ its ability to ferment other sugars and artificial sweeteners‚ and how lactase influences yeasts ability to use lactose as a food source Kristina Naydenova Father Michael Goetz Purpose Part A: To investigate whether yeast has the ability to ferment glucose to produce carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. Part B: To investigate whether yeast has the ability to ferment other sugars and artificial sweeteners and how lactase influences their

Using Selective Media to Monitor the Fermentation Process of Cabbage and Cucumber‚ for Fourteen Days Abstract: Introduction: The goal of the ecological succession lab is to demonstrate succession with the fermentation of cabbage and cucumbers. The cabbage will ferment into sauerkraut and the cucumber will ferment to pickles during fermentation process that will changes the species structure and the community of time. During the fermentation process we watched the pH become more acidic‚ since

on my Hypothesis. 3. Describe the results of the attempts to diffuse glucose and albumin through the 200 MWCO membrane. How well did the results compare with your prediction? The glucose diffused through the 200 MCWO membrane while the albumin didnt. 4. Put the following in order from smallest to largest molecular weight: glucose‚ sodium chloride‚ albumin‚ and urea. Sodium chloride urea glucose albumin Activity 2 Simulated Facilitated Diffusion 1. Explain one way

Cellular Respiration and Fermentation: Experimenting With CO2 and Redox Reactions Julius Engel; Section 8 Abstract In this experiment‚ the subjects of study were fermentation‚ mitochondrial respiration‚ and redox reactions. In the first experiment‚ yeast was grown in various carbohydrate solutions at various temperatures. In the second experiment‚ succinate was added to various samples of a mitchondrial suspension‚ DPIP‚ and a buffer. Then after two blanks were used‚ the samples

Q1. Why should a four place analytical balance not be used in weighing a sample if the manual requests only one decimal place accuracy? Ans. We use the analytical balance where we need to weigh the small amount which needs a high degree of accuracy. Whereas‚ the manual requests only one decimal place accuracy which is not that much important and the time is consumed more to use the analytical balance with four decimal places. Q2. How is the pH meter calibrated? Ans. Firstly‚ The pH meter is calibrated

complex carbohydrates include vegetables‚ whole grains‚ peas‚ pasta‚ potatoes and beans. Carbohydrates are the main source of glucose‚ which is a major fuel for all of the body’s cells and the only source of energy for the brain and red cells. Except for fiber‚ which cannot be digested‚ both simple and complex carbohydrates are converted into glucose. The glucose is then either used directly to provide energy for the body‚ or stored in the liver for future use. When a person consumes more

pathway for glucose oxidation. Similar to glycolysis‚ but instead of having pyruvate as the end product it is diverted to other pathways. Supplier of energy to the cell in the form of NADPH (a reducing power for biosynthesis). It is also referred to as hexose monophosphate shunt. *Fate of glucose 6-phosphate (G 6-P) IN THE PPP (S. 71) Taken out from glycolysis and converted into Ribulose 5-phosphate.
