In this article we will discuss about the molecular structure of carbohydrates with the help of diagrams. Carbohydrates are organic compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are present in all cellular organisms. The simple carbohydrates, known as monosaccharides, contain the three component elements C, H and O of which H and O are in the same ratio as [...]
The following points highlight the five main types of fermentation. The types are: 1. Alcoholic Fermentation 2. Lactic Acid Fermentation 3. Propionic Acid Fermentation 4. Butyric Acid — Butanol Fermentation 5. Mixed Acid Fermentation. Type # 1. Alcoholic Fermentation: Alcoholic fermentation generally means production of ethanol (CH3CH2OH). Commonly yeasts, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are used for production of various alcoholic beverages, [...]
In this article we will discuss about the regulation and control of metabolism in microorganisms. The biological organisms, specially microorganisms take up nutrients and metabolize them through numerous enzyme-catalysed reactions to build-up their body components as well as extract energy. All these anabolic and catabolic reactions run in a highly coordinated and harmonious manner to ensure optimal growth and multiplication [...]
