This is because they are made from a fungus called Fusarium. Fusariumis made up of tiny fibres called hyphae. If there was a stirrer in the fermenter then they would get tangled with these fibres and break them

Why is a stirrer used when determining melting point of a solid?

The stirrer is used to homogenize the sample and his temperature.


Is salmonella and shigella agar selective or differential?

Salmonella and Shigella agar (SS agar) is both selective and differential. It is selective because it inhibits the growth of most gram-positive bacteria and non-enteric gram-negative bacteria, allowing for the isolation of Salmonella and Shigella species. Additionally, it is differential as it contains indicators that differentiate between lactose fermenters and non-fermenters, with lactose fermenters producing pink colonies and Salmonella and Shigella typically forming colorless colonies.


Why do some lactose fermenters produce gas bubbles whereas others do not?

Gas bubbles are produced by lactose fermenters as a byproduct of fermentation. Some lactose fermenters may produce more gas due to differences in the types and abundance of gas-producing enzymes they possess, while others may not produce as much gas due to variations in their metabolic pathways or the presence of alternative pathways that do not result in gas production. Additionally, environmental factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of other nutrients can also influence the amount of gas produced during lactose fermentation.


Would removing eosin Y from methylene blue from EMB agar alter the medium sensitivity or specificity?

Yes, removing eosin Y from methylene blue agar (EMB) would alter the medium's sensitivity and specificity. Eosin Y acts as a pH indicator that helps differentiate lactose fermenters, such as E. coli, from non-fermenters by producing a color change. Without eosin Y, the visual distinction between colonies would be reduced, potentially leading to misidentification of lactose fermenters and affecting the medium's overall effectiveness in isolating and identifying specific bacteria.

Is mycoprotein safe for consumption?

Yes, mycoprotein is generally considered safe for consumption. It is a protein derived from fungi and is commonly used as a meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan diets. However, individuals with certain allergies or sensitivities to fungi should exercise caution when consuming mycoprotein.


Can you make a back scratcher from a paint stirrer?

An effect back scratcher can be made from a paint stirrer in three ways. 1. Scratch your back with the stirrer without changing it in any way. 2. Attach a soft scratcher (such as a scrubby) to the stirrer. 3. Carve the end of the stirrer into a usable shape.


What is the function of stirrer?

The function of a stirrer is to agitate liquids for speeding up reactions or improving mixtures. The picture on the left is a magnetic stirrer used with hot plates. The picture on the right is a typical glass stirrer used in beakers or test tubes.

Are people foregut or hindgut fermenters?

Humans are not foregut or hindgut fermenters. These are special adaptations that occur in herbivores (such as horses and cows).
