What carbohydrates can Enterobacter aerogenes ferment?
90% to 100% of Enterobacter aerogenes strains can ferment glucose, sucrose, and lactose. The same percentage of strains produce gas as a byproduct of that fermentation.
What bacteria carrying out the fermentation of a glucose molecule?
Lots of bacteria ferment glucose! Anaerobes ferment it and also facultative anaerobes. One type is E. coli...
Does sporosarcina urea ferment glucose?
Sporosarcina urea ferments glucose and lactose but not sucrose. It is a type of bacteria of the genus Sporosarcina, and is closely related to the genus Bacillus.
Why does Bacillus cereus ferment Glucose and not Lactose or Sucrose?
Because bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, and rod-shaped, it\'s only able to ferment glucose.
Which class of organic molecule are starch and glucose?
Glucose and starch are carbohydrates.
What is non ferment es bacteria?
this bacteria have no ability to consum glucose lactose and other type of suger such as Pseudomonas aeruoginosaShigella spp. & Salmonella spp.
What type of bacteria is typhoid causing bacteria?
The are gram negative bacillus shaped bacteria. They are facultative anaerobic bacteria. They ferment the glucose to produce acid and gas. They ferment the sulfur containing amino acids to produce H2S gas. They do not ferment the lactose.
Zymomonas mobilis which type of bacteria?
its a gram negative anaerobic bacteria used to ferment glucose and produce ethanol.
Why does glucose ferment faster?
It's sweet. Everybody loves sweets including bacteria.

Does sporosarcina urea ferment glucose?
Sporosarcina urea ferments glucose and lactose but not sucrose. It is a type of bacteria of the genus Sporosarcina, and is closely related to the genus Bacillus.
What class of biological molecule is responsible for the ability of different bacteria to ferment different sugars?
Enzymes - for example, lactose relies on beat-galactosidase and sucrose relies on sucrase. Once in monosaccharide form, they are further hydrolyzed (like glucose is in glycolysis).
Is bacillus subtilis positive for glucose fermentation?
B. subtilis does not ferment glucose nor lactose
What are the two nutrients your body uses for energy?
glucose and oxygen
What carbohydrate will ferment fast?
Glucose.
Does halo-bacterium salinarium ferment glucose?
