3. Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Fungi (feldmann,2010)
Withstand a wide range of pH (ortiz Muniz,2010)
Withstand ethanol far better (prasertwasu et al.,2014)
4. Fermentation (Moran et al,2014)
C6H1206 + O2 → H2O + CO2 + Energy + Biomass
C6H1206 → CO2 + C2H6O + Energy
Ethanol as a secondary metabolite
5. Media (Eddleman, 1999)
20 g/L Peptone → source of nitogen
10 g/L Yeast extract → source of nutrient
50 g/L Glucose
6. OBJECTIVES
To study growth kinetics of baker’s yeast
To familiarise with batch culturing in flask
To practice proper aseptic techniques
14. DISCUSSION
HYPOTHESIS
As number of cells increase the absorbance should increase
Error
Use of the same micropipette tip
The yeast and media are not entirely homogenized
Contamination in certain vials due to poor aseptic techniques
Error in weighing the boats
Some sample spilled during resuspension
The wrong cuvettte may had been used as a blank
15. Conclusion
Practice the aseptic techniques
Observe the growth of yeast through optical density
Measure the dry weight of the cell
Precaution steps must be taken
