What is the purpose of yeast in fermentation?
yeast provides the enzyme zymase which catalyses the fermentation process.
What is the purpose of silage fermentation?
Silage fermentation helps in the lowering of the forage to a certain point.
What is the main purpose of fermentation reactions?
Fermentation is a pathway used under anaerobic conditions. It is needed to produce ATP when there is no oxygen present.
What is the purpose of the bromcresol purple in the fermentation tube?
These are both used as pH indicators.
What is the purpose of the fermentation reactions after glycolysis?
Trick question: glycolysis is anaerobic fermentation resulting in lactic acid in animals, and ethanol and carbon dioxide in plants and fungi.
What is the purpose of mineral oil in oxidation-fermentation test?
The mineral oil prevents oxygen from entering the medium and allows for detection of possible fermentation of the unknown bacteria.
What is the purpose of the bubble trap in a wine?
it is used to trap the CO2 from the fermentation process and prevent outside air from getting in. Fermentation is an anaerobic process with ethanol and CO2 as its by products.
What is the purpose of phenol red or bromcresol purple in fermentation tube?
These are both used as pH indicators.
What is the main purpose of reduction of pyruvate to lactate during fermentation?
The main purpose of pyruvate reduction to lactate during fermentation is to convert NADH to NAD plus. Early in the glycolysis process, you'll see that there's a step where NAD plus gets reduced to NADH, and then an ATP is produced.
What types of fermentation are there?
Alchoholic fermentation and Lactic Acid fermentation
What is biostill fermentation?
in the biostil fermentation the fermentation and distillation are coupled.
Is fermentation aerobic?
There are different kinds of fermentation, and fermentation can be aerobic, or anaerobic.
