During cheese production, LAB convert lactose to lactate and casein (milk protein) to amino acids. Lactate and amino acids then become the substrates for further microbial growth, which results in aroma production and deacidification of the cheese. The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica grows on the surface of many cheeses; it is capable of both lactate and amino acid catabolism. When grown on a lactate plus amino acid medium, Y. lipolytica preferentially consumes amino acids. Amino acid degradation results in the release of ammonia, which increases the pH. Draw a flow chart that shows the LAB fermentation of milk, followed by the growth of Y. lipolytica. Indicate which substrates are consumed first and what happens to the pH. Based on this simplified scenario, why do you think most cheeses involve the activity of more than one yeast species?

coliis a species of bacteria that, under the appropriate conditions, can grow using fermentation, anaerobic respiration, or aerobic respiration. This is one example of how E. colihas a greater metabolic capability than we humans, who can only survive using aerobic respiration, and who can perform fermentation for short periods of time. Consider the relative energy yield and efficiency of these three processes. Imagine you grow three cultures of E. coli as follows: A: Fermentation B: Anaerobic respiration C: Aerobic respiration You provide each culture with sufficient glucose in order to get each culture to produce the same biomass, i.e., the same amount of E. coli cells. In order to accomplish this, which culture would need to consume the greatest amount of glucose? Group of answer choices A. Each culture would need to consume the same amount of glucose to produce the same biomass B: Aerobic respiration C: Anaerobic respiration D: Fermentation
A genetically modified bacterium was cultivated to produce 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), and the following yields were obtained: YX/S = 0.106 gX/gS and YP/S = 0.28 gP/gS. Knowing that the culture medium was formulated with glucose, ammonia and some mineral salts, and the cultivation was carried out under aerobic conditions, answer:a) What is the oxygen demand in this process?b) What is the maximum theoretical yield of 1,3-PDO in this process?c) Projecting the scale-up, what cell concentration must be reached to obtain 10 kg of 1,3-PDO in a batch reactor with 1 m3 of culture?
A bacterial culture is grown using either octadecane (C18H38) or pentachlorophenol (C6HOCl5)) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The cell yield value is determined by dry weight analysis to be 1.49 for octadecane and 0.05 for pentachlorophenol. Using either octadecane or pentachlorophenol, please describe the steps taken (and the final result) showing what percentage of the substrate carbon will be found as cell mass and as CO2? Please show all calculations.

Examine the graph shown below of a liquid culture growth curve for S. pneumoniaegrowing in minimal broth containing both glucose and lactose in equal concentrations as a potential carbon source. Answer the following questions: a) Name the growth phases labelled as I, II and III, explain the observed pattern of growth at each of these stages in the curve b) Where would the concentration of cAMP be low and why? c) In what phase would β-galactosidase be high and why? d) What kind of overall growth pattern does this curve illustrate?
A researcher is interested to test the antibacterial activity of a Philippine Plant crude extracts against Beta-lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumonia isolated in a hospital setting. He will use the following concentrations of crude extract, 500mg/ml, 250mg/ml and 100mg/ml. Positive control: Tetracycline 10mg/ml and DMSO as the negative control. Given this research scenario kindly construct a research framework.
the 10 mg/mL sample of lysozyme shows a lower activity than 2mg/mL lysozyme sample (refer to the graph shown below). It is potentially due to Inefficiency of lysozyme at high concentrations. Highest concentrated lysozymes do have lowest activity. Loss of data due to user inefficiency. Loss of data due to spectrophotometer inefficiency.

Is the following true or false? Biocatalysis is limited to the use of enzymes found naturally in yeast or bacteria.
Imagine you are trying to use an organism to remove organic matter in a wastewater treatment plant (i.e., poop). You would like to maximize the amount of waste consumed while also minimizing the amount of cells produced. Assuming these organisms exist and all other things are equal, what combination of chemoorganotrophic organism and environment would make the most sense to use? An organism that only has the Entner-Duoduroff pathway under anaerobic conditions. This was a trick question – the organism would have to be a chemolithotroph since it is consuming a chemical.

Anaerobic production of ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is associated with yeast growth. The steady-state growth kinetics of yeast follows Monod. It is intended to produce 10 kg/h of ethanol in an ideal CSRT-type fermenter, fed by a solution of 50 g/L of glucose. Size the fermenter for this purpose (calculate its working volume), setting the biomass concentration at the exit of the fermenter at 6.9 g/L.Note: CSTR = Continuous Stirred Tank ReactorData: μmax = 0.1 h-1; Ks = 0.5 g/L; YX/S = 0.15; YP/S = 0.45.(answer: V = 5435 L)
