Experimental Design II: Yeast Fermentation Experiment Question
Which part of the corn plant; kernel extract or cob extract will show a higher rate of fermentation through levels of ethanol and carbon dioxide levels, when exposed to yeast?
Hypothesis
When corn kernel extracts and corn cob extract are exposed to yeast then a higher fermentation
rate will be produced due to the ethanol and carbon dioxide levels.

Control Group 1 Contains
: 5mL of kernel extract and 2mL of water, which acts as the yeast buffer. Justification/Assumption
: This control group is being tested to confirm that the kernel extract is reacting only with yeast, and not creating carbon dioxide in the absence of yeast. Expected result:
No carbon dioxide will accumulate in the Durham vial. Group 2 Contains: 5mL of water, to act as the glucose buffer, and 2mL of yeast suspension. Justification/Assumption
: This control group is being tested to ensure that the yeast only reacts with the glucose, and that it is not reacting by itself to produce carbon dioxide and ethanol.
Expected result:
No carbon dioxide will collect in the Durham vial.
Control Group 3 Contains
: 5mL of cob extract and 2mL of water, which acts as the yeast buffer. Justification/Assumption:
This control group is being tested to ensure that the corn extract is reacting only with yeast, and not reacting to make carbon dioxide without yeast. Expected result:
No carbon dioxide will collect in the Durham vial. Positive Control Group 4 Contains:
5mL of corn syrup solution and 2mL of yeast suspension. Justification/Assumption: This control group is being tested to ensure that yeast does not react with the glucose in the extract. Corn syrup is used due to the fact that similar to the kernel and corn extracts, it also contains glucose. Expected Result:
Carbon Dioxide will collect in the Durham vial. Experimental Group 1
Contains: 5 mL of kernel extract substrate and 2 mL of yeast. Justification/Assumption:
This experimental group is being tested to show the amount of carbon dioxide that is produced which shows the production of ethanol.This justifies the assumption that a higher concentration of glucose will result in a greater yield of both carbon dioxide and ethanol. Expected result: The expected result is that carbon dioxide will accumulate in the Durham vial, and that the volume of carbon dioxide will be greater than the volume of carbon dioxide collected in the second experimental group. Experimental Group 2 Contains:
5mL of cob extract substrate and 2mL of yeast suspension. Justification/Assumption:
to ensure a reaction between yeast and cob extract will produce carbon dioxide, which also shows a production of ethanol, we must also make sure that the amount of carbon dioxide produced in this reaction is smaller than the amount collected through
first experimental group.
Expected result
: carbon dioxide will accumulate in the Durham vial, and that the volume of carbon dioxide gathered will be less than the volume of carbon dioxide collected in the first experimental group.
Positive Control Group 4 Contains:
5mL of corn syrup solution and 2mL of yeast suspension. Justification/Assumption: This control group is being tested to ensure that yeast does not react with the glucose in the extract. Corn syrup is used due to the fact that similar to the kernel and corn extracts, it also contains glucose. Expected Result:
Carbon Dioxide will collect in the Durham References Biological Department of Sciences. Biology 107: Introduction to Cell Biology. Edmonton (AB): University of Alberta.

EXPERIMENT : UTILIZATION OF FOOD/AGRICULTURAL WASTE FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOETHANOL
OBJECTIVE
To learn on the basic process of microbial fermentation.
To quantify the conversion of agricultural waste to bioethanol.
Procedure:
The agricultural wastes were got and then blended for 3 min. The juice was extracted by filtering using a double-fold of cotton gauze cloth, and particulate matter was removed by centrifuging at 10,000 g for 10 min at 4°C. The undiluted juice was stored, and the waste material obtained from the extraction of juice at -20°C until use.
Kluyveromyces marxianus on the Yeast-Malt (YM) agar containing 10 g/L glucose, 5 g/L peptone, 3 g/L yeast extract, 3 g/L malt extract, and 20 g/L agar were maintained.
Culture was prepared by inoculating two loopfuls of the fungus in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask with 100 mL growth medium containing 30 g/L glucose, 5 g/L yeast extract, 2 g/L NH4Cl, 1 g/L KH2PO4, 0.3 g/LMgSO47H2O. The preculture was grew on a rotary shaker at 150…

OBJECTIVES :
To apply techniques/ technologies in waste management system for production of value-added products
PROCEDURES:
Separate the peels of different fruits were separated and oven dried at 50°C, ground and sieved through mesh screen.
50 ml of 10% (w/v) HCl was added to each waste (40 gm) in conical flask respectively.
The mixture in water bath was placed at 100° C for one hour. The mixture was cooled down and the mixture was filtered through Whatman filter paper. The filtrate was diluted with sterile distilled water at varying concentration. The fruit hydrolysate was autoclaved at 121°C for 15 minutes.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae was maintained on the YDPA at 28 °C.
In 250 mL conical flasks, each of 100 mL of various fruit hydrolysate growth media supplemented was added with (NH4)2SO4 (2 gm), KH2PO4 (1gm), MgSO4.7H2O (0.5 gm), NaCl (0.1 gm), CaCl2 (0.1 gm). The initial pH of all the culture media was…

In cultivation of E.coli strain in a batch stirred and aerated tank, a static gassing out technique
method was employed to determine the oxygen transfer coefficient (k̟a) for the bioreactor.
After purging the oxygen with nitrogen gas, continuous air supply at air flow rate of 0.1
v.v.m. and impeller speed of about 250 rpm was initiated. Increase in the dissolved oxygen
concentration upon the continuous air sparging is recorded by a dissolved oxygen (DO)
probe. Using the following data, determine the oxygen transfer coefficient (ka) for the
bioreactor. Saturation DO concentration is C*=9 mg/l

Nicotiana tabacum cells are cultured to produce a polysaccharide gum. The reactor used is a stirred-tank reactor with an initial volume of 100 L. The maximum specific rate of growth of the culture is 0.18 d-1 and the yield coefficient of substrate in biomass is 0.5 gX/gS. The concentration of the limiting substrate in the medium is 3% (m/v). The reactor is inoculated with 1.5 g/L of cells and operated in batch until the substrate is exhausted, when the medium is fed with a constant flow rate of 8 L/d. The fed batch occurs in a quasi-steady state condition.a) Estimate the time of the batch step and the concentration of cells reached in this phase, considering exponential cell growth.b) The fed batch phase is carried out for a period of 40 days.
