(SSF) is presented. The most important lignocellulolytic fungi and their properties are described, and their application in novel solid state bioreactors with on-line process control is discussed. The most important bioconversion products, biofuels, enzymes, animal feeds, biofertilizers, biopesticides, biopromoters, secondary metabolites, and the economy of their production by SSF is discussed. The use of SSF in the pulp and paper industry and in integrated crop management is illustrated. © 2002 Elsevier

Fatmata Diffusion Abstract dialysis tubing is, made of cellulose because it’s a selectively permeable membrane. In this experiment, we are testing to see if the solution in the beaker moves into the dialysis bag. Which because of that, Introduction Diffusion and osmosis are two types of transport mechanisms. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration until the molecules are evenly distributed through the area. Osmosis is the dispersion

Enzyme lab report Determining the properties of an Enzyme Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that acts as catalysts for reactions. This means that enzymes lower the activation energy essential for a reaction to take place, allowing a specific reaction to occur much quicker and easier. Certain enzymes only lower the activation energy for certain reactions, and enzymes are shape precise. The distinctive

sliding door. The teeths job is to grind up food. After that you walk into the mouth`s lobby. You walk over to the front desk to grab your saliva key. The saliva moistens the food making it easier to swallow. Saliva contains an enzyme known as salivary amylase. This enzyme chemically digests large starch molecules into smaller sugar molecules. The saliva makes the food wet so it turns into a blous. Then you walk on the tongues red carpet to the elevator. The tongue pushes the food to the back of the

Physiology 330 2/17/2016 Acclimation of metabolic enzymes in reptiles It is necessary for reptiles and all other animals to maintain a state of homeostasis within the body. I fluctuation of enzymes within the body must happen in order for such animals to maintain relative body temperatures needed for survival. Reptiles that undergo changes in body temperature over the seasons will demonstrate fluctuations in the activity of metabolic enzymes; specifically lactate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase

Catecholase is an enzyme that catalyzes a response to injury among many types of plants. Upon exposure to oxygen, catechol in plant cells is oxidized, and, with catecholase, produces benzoquinone. Benzoquinone is used as a protection against invasion and infection by microorganisms (Stegenga, 84). The oxidation reaction of catechol may be represented by the following equation: Catechol + ½ O2 Benzoquinone + H2O Benzoquinone is a brown color, allowing for observations about

In lab 7, Factors affecting Enzyme Activity, there are two parts; Effects of concentration on enzyme activity and effects of temperature on enzyme activity. In the first lab with concentration the materials needed to preform this experiment will be a LabQuest, Vernier O2 Gas Sensor, Nalgene bottle, enzyme suspension, 3.0% H2O2 , stop watch, goggles, three test tubes and dH2O and a 10 ml graduated cylinder.The first step in the procedure is to obtain three test tubes and label them 1, 2, and 3. With

they have started to turn brown on the edges. The name for that reaction is catechol oxidase, which is made into the pigment called benzoquinone. In this experiment I will investigate catechol oxidase. The enzyme is a catalyst which makes some chemical reactions occur faster than if no enzyme was present. I will test how well catechol oxidase will function under different conditions, what happens in different pH and the absorbance of each. Catechol oxidase needs copper in order to active, during

Purpose: Will the rate reach completion in a closed system? What is the speed at which the Oxygen reacts with the Glucose and the Oxygen is used up? The reaction is very slow and needs a catalyst, Potassium Hydroxide, to accelerate the reaction. In addition, the rate equation for this reaction is a forward rate. Furthermore, the reaction can be monitored by the change in color of Methylene Blue, it is blue in the presence of oxygen and colorless in the absence of oxygen. Hypothesis: The
