Chapter 42 Biotechnology & Industrial Microbiology Flashcards
any aerobic or anaerobic metabolism for growth
fermentation
large vessels where microbes are grown in industrial microbiology
fermentors
substances synthesized by microbial cells during exponential growth phase
primary metabolites
these are primarily made by microbes during stationary phase
secondary metabolism
antibiotics are made during this stage of growth
secondary metabolites
minor changes in molecules via microbial enzymes
microbial transformations/biotransformation
these capture electrons to generate electricity
microbial fuel cells
transfers Ti plasmid into plant cells genomes and cause cancer
agrobacterium tumefacians
cheeses are all formed via blank fermentation
lactic acid
wine production from crushed grapes is called
enology
