Best Answer

Litmus milk is an undefined medium consisting of skim milk and the pH indicator azolitmin.

Azolitmin is purple between pH of 4.6 and 8.2. It turns pink when pH reaches 4.5 and blue at a pH of 8.3.

Lactose ferminatation turns the litmus pink due to acidity. If litmus is reduced during lactose fermentation it will turn the medium white. Acid may cause an acid clot this is due to the casein precipitating. Heavy gas production can cause stormy fermentation, this is due to the breaking up of the clot.

What is the difference between acid and rennet curds?

Acid curd-Is Lactic Acid or other organic acids cause precipitation of the milk protein casein as calcium caseinate to form and insoluble clot. The clot is hard and will not retract from the walls of the test tube. An acid curd is easily identified if the tube is inverted and the clot remains immobile. Rennet Curd-- Some organisms produce rennin, an enzyme that acts on casein to form paracasein, which in the presence of calcium ions is converted to calcium paracaseinate and form an insoluble clot. Unlike the acid curd, this is a soft semisolid clot that will flow slowly when the tube is tilted.


What is stormy fermentation?

Clostridium perfringens show stormy fermentation in litmus milk medium. Lactose in the medium is fermented to organic acid and gas by the organism. Acid changes the colour of the indicator litmus from blue to red. Acid coagulates casein (milk protein) in the medium to form acid clot. Due to the vigorous production of gas, the clot gets disrupted. The paraffin seal is pushed upwards and shreds of clot can be seen on the sides of the test tube.This type of fermentation is called stormy fermentation

White blood cells help clot the blood. Low PH makes red blood cells clump together


Is there a way to find out the symptoms for blood clots early?

What is the white on a blood clot after an tooth extraction?

Although you are not yet quite out of the woods with regard to dry socket, the white coating is normal. It is simply the blood clot, which takes on that appearance after the saliva has leached out the red blood cells. The smell is the natural consequence of organic clot material fermenting in a warm, moist environment, which favors putrefaction. This is likewise normal, and will fade as healing proceeds.


Can blood clots be white in reference to wisdom tooth extraction socket?

Yes, clots can be white in color. After a tooth is extracted, the tooth socket fills with blood and a clot forms. Just like any wound heals with a "scab" if you will. A blood clot has several components (ingredients) in it. The red blood cells tend to wash away in the mouth, with post-extraction care like rinsing. What remains is the fibrin part of the clot, which appears "white" in the mouth.
