A paddle is used for mixing in a fermenter. It is thought that ingredients will ferment better if mixed with a wooden paddle.

What is the purpose of lactose in the macconkey agar?

Lactose in MacConkey agar serves as a fermentable carbohydrate that allows for the differentiation of bacteria based on their ability to ferment lactose. Lactose fermentation produces acidic byproducts, which lower the pH of the agar, causing lactose-fermenting bacteria to produce pink/red colonies while non-fermenters appear colorless.


What is the difference between EMB agar and MacConkey agar?

So here is the deal, same use different recipies different results to do the same thing. I'll just post some lecture notes and hope that helps:MacConkey's Agar (enterics)Selective for gram negativeCrystal violet and bile salts prevent non-entericsDifferential for lactose fermentationNon-fermenter --> white/clear coloniesFermenter--> red/pink coloniesEosin Methylene Blue (EMB) (Weakly selective for intestinal pathogens)Selective for gram negativeEosin and methylene blue inhibit gram positive growthDifferential for lactose fermentationLactose fermenters produce a green-metallic sheenNon-fermenters do notNOTE: EMB Agar is not in common use anymore


What are the key differences between a bioreactor and a fermenter in terms of their design and functionality?

A bioreactor is a vessel used for a wide range of biological processes, while a fermenter is specifically designed for fermentation processes. Bioreactors are more versatile and can be used for various types of reactions, while fermenters are specialized for microbial fermentation. Bioreactors typically have more advanced control systems and monitoring capabilities compared to fermenters.


Lactosefermenting bacteria in maconkey agar?

Lactose-fermenting bacteria on MacConkey agar exhibit pink/red colonies due to acid production from lactose fermentation. The agar also contains bile salts and crystal violet to inhibit growth of Gram-positive bacteria. This selective and differential medium is commonly used to differentiate between lactose fermenters (pink/red colonies) and non-fermenters (colorless colonies) in microbiology.


Why does the ecoli and pseudomonas are different on the MacConkey agar?

MacConkey's agar is a differential media used to differentiate between lactose fermenting and lactose non-fermenting bacteria. E.coli is a lactose fermenter whereas Pseudomonas is a lactose non-fermenter.MacConkey's agar contains lactose as fermentable sugar and when it is fermented the pH of the medium decreases which is registered by neutral red (a pH indicator).Lactose fermenters such as E.coli produce pink colonies whereas lactose non-fermenters such as Pseudomonas produces colorless colonies. So the colors of E.coli and Pseudomonas colonies are different on MacConkey's agar.

What are tower fermenters?

Tower fermenters are simple in design and easy to construct. They consist of a long cylindrical vessel with an inlet at the bottom, an exhaust at the top, and a jacket to control temperature. They do not require agitation hence there are no shafts, impellers or blades.Tower fermenters are used for continuous fermentation of beer, yeast and SCP.
