What are the types of fermenters?

alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation


Is MacConkey agar a chemically defined orn complex nedia and why?

MacConkey agar is classified as a complex medium because it contains a variety of ingredients, including peptones, bile salts, and crystal violet, which provide nutrients and inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. It is not chemically defined since the exact composition of the peptones is unknown and can vary. The primary purpose of MacConkey agar is to differentiate lactose fermenters from non-fermenters, with lactose fermenters producing acid that changes the color of the medium.


What are the types of enzymes likely to be used in washing powders?

The protease enzyme is used in some washing powders. The protease enzyme usually comes from bacteria like Bacillus licheniformis or Bacillus subtilis and can be produced in fermenters which hold many litres of culture medium and bacteria.


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.


What is use double strength lactose broth?

Double strength lactose broth is used to selectively culture lactose fermenting bacteria. It contains a higher concentration of lactose compared to regular lactose broth, allowing for more efficient differentiation of lactose fermenters from non-fermenters based on acid production. This medium is often used in microbiology laboratories for various tests and experiments.

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.


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).

Is a rat a hindgut or foregut fermenter?

A rat is a hind-gut fermenter - most digestion takes place in the cecum and colon to the rear of the digestive system, unlike ruminants, which are fore-gut fermenters. In some hind-gut fermenters, foods that are high in fiber are stored and fermented in the cecum, usually at the very end of the digestive system. The fermented food then leaves the body as feces. The animal eats this first-time-through feces (coprophagy), allowing the body to digest the now broken down fiber as the food moves through the digestive system a second time. Not all hind-gut fermenters use the coprophagy system. Rats and rabbits are examples of hind-gut fermenters that use coprophagy, while horses are examples of hind-gut fermenters that don't.


Are hingut fermenters and monogastrics the same thing?

No, they are different things.


What are the paddles for in fermenters?

The paddles in fermenters are used for mixing and agitating the fermenting liquid. This helps to distribute yeast evenly, ensure consistent fermentation, and oxygenate the liquid. Proper mixing can also prevent the formation of temperature gradients and help maintain the desired conditions for fermentation.
