The yeast produce ethanol as a by - product and a dog ingesting raw bread dough can become drunk (See alcohol).
Not exact matches
Fermentation is triggered by lactic acid bacteria — or lactobacilli — and
yeasts, which use the carbohydrate fuels from the cereal grains to
produce ethanol (alcohol), carbon dioxide, lactic acid and acetic acid.
A pioneer of immunization and food sterilization, Pasteur (below) also experimentally proved in the 1850s that
yeasts drove the fermentation process, gobbling sugars to
produce ethanol, carbon dioxide and a host of other compounds essential to beer.
At MIT, scientists have engineered a new
yeast strain that can survive in high levels of sugar and
ethanol,
producing 50 percent more
ethanol than its natural cousins.
In one case, turning on and off a blue light caused the special
yeast to alternate between
producing ethanol, a product of normal fermentation, and isobutanol, a chemical that normally would kill
yeast at sufficiently high concentration.
First the
yeast consume the sugar and
produce CO2 &
ethanol, then the bacteria consume the
ethanol and
produce healthy acids.
The bacteria and
yeast in the grains utilize sugar to
produce lactic acid, carbon dioxide and a small amount of
ethanol.
As grapes reach their peak of ripeness in the fall, they may swell in size and burst, thereby allowing the sugars in the juice to be exposed to
yeasts growing on the skins and to
produce carbon dioxide and
ethanol (48).
As the
yeast grow, they
produce ethanol and carbon dioxide.
A key advantage of using
yeast for cellulosic
ethanol production is their ability to work over a broad temperature (< 44oC) and pH (3.0 — 8.0) range to
produce large amounts of sugar.
Dr. Hughes also reported ongoing work to achieve stable expression of a biocatalyst in
yeast, which enables the fungi to
produce biodiesel after
ethanol production has completed.
Amyris, which is based in Emeryville, CA, uses the tools of a new field called synthetic biology to reengineer microbes, including
yeast that can ferment sugar to
produce hydrocarbons instead of
ethanol.
Not biodiesel, conventional diesel fuel: The plant will have a capacity of more than 10,000 gallons per year and will, using synthetic biology, reengineer microbes so that
yeast can ferment sugar to
produce hydrocarbons instead of
ethanol.
