    This test utilizes a medium that has an oxygen gradient, meaning that most of the oxygen was at the top of the tube, and the least amount of oxygen was at the bottom of the tube. To prepare this medium, a reducing agent called Sodium thioglycolate was added, removing the free oxygen by chemically binding with it. Thioglycolate broth, also called a reducing medium, eradicates the tube of oxygen. Rasazarin is a pink dye that indicates oxygen depletion an indicator for oxygen depletion. The test results

    not closely monitored, can lead to the death of large numbers of livestock as well as birth defects in calves. In ruminants, nitrate is reduced to nitrite, and the rumen microbes utilize this nitrite by converting it into ammonia as a nitrogenous source important in DNA production and synthesis of amino acids (Robson, 2007). Though, when levels of nitrogen rise in excess, nitrite accumulates in rumen, and is then rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, then reacting with the ferrous form of haemoglobin

    Sulphuric Acid Production Should Not Be Banned Background Information Acids and bases are chemical compounds with certain properties, and are classified according to several different definitions. There are clear distinctions between the two types of compounds, and although they share some similarities in their physical and chemical properties, their uses and applications vary greatly. Acids can be described as having a sour taste, producing hydronium ions in water, forming a salt and water when

    peptides, proteins, chlorophylls and energy transfer molecules such as ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) and ATP (Adenosine-5'-triphosphate) [33]. Organic nitrogen is derived from inorganic sources including nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), nitric acid (HNO3), ammonia (NH3), ammonium (NH4+), and nitrogen gas (N2). Microalgae has an ability to convert inorganic nitrogen be only in the forms of nitrite, nitrate and ammonium to organic nitrogen through a process called assimilation. Only eukaryotic algae can perform
