Desiccation, a time-honored method of preserving food, is effective because the water content is too low to support metabolic function. freezing step of the process kills microbes. salt concentration is too low to support metabolic function. heat of the process kills microbes. UV light used in the process of sun drying penetrates effectively.

If high temperatures are most effective at killing microbes, what statement correctly explains why some food products are treated with temperatures below the boiling point of water? Extremely high temperatures would destroy the food's nutritional value. Extremely high temperatures would significantly lower the food's shelf life. Extremely high temperatures can destroy the food's desirable characteristics. Extremely high temperatures promote the growth of some microbes.
Spoilage of canned foods stored at high temperatures, accompanied by gas production, is -thermophilic anaerobic spoilage -spoilage by mesophilic bacteria -putrefactive anaerobic spoilage -flat sour spoilage
Sewage works use microbes in many ways to break down organic matter. Which of the following processes is NOT carried out? Pathogenic bacteria and viruses are added to the input sewage as a tracer and to ensure the processes have all worked well Bacteria and archaea are used in sludge digesters to breakdown organic matter anaerobically Bacterial trickle filter beds have a wide variety of microbes to break down organic matter Activated sludge selects for Gram negative bacteria that break down waste

You are working in a factory that is producing chemicals from the bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. You monitor the fermenters and you notice that one fermenter has stopped producing the chemical you are interested in (the chemical is the nature-identical ketone that gives ripe raspberry flavor). You suspect that the fermenter has become contaminated. Describe how you determine if the fermenter is contaminated.
Removal of the nitrogen-containing group from an amino acid is termed ____________. Question options: deamination azospirillification nitrogen fixation denitrification nitrification
What statement correctly explains why moist-heat is more effective than dry-heat for sterilization purposes? The microbe's molecules are resistant to alteration in the absence of water. Dry heat will always be a lower temperature than moist heat. Dry heat dehydrates the microbes, and dehydration is a method of preserving microbes. Water is a good conductor of heat.
