| GENERAL | PRODUCTION | ANTIBIOTICS | RANDOM | BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A microorganism that exemplifies cell factories.
(What is e. coli?)
|
Anaerobic biochemical reaction in which an enzyme catalyzes the conversion of one substrate into another, ie: sugars + yeast = alcohols.
(What is fermentation?)
|
Who was the scientist that discovered penicillin? (first and last names)
(Who is Alexander Fleming?)
|
Microbes outnumber human cells by this ratio.
(What is 10 to 1?)
|
No generation of glycosylated protein, generally recognized as safe (GRAS), does not produce endotoxins, and has probiotic properties. Used in cheese, yogurt, and sauerkraut.
(What is lactic acid bacteria?)
|
|
Live microorganisms that confer a health benefit to the host when administered in adequate amounts
What are probiotics?)
|
The initial culture, food, and nutrients in a shaker flask
(What is suspension?)
|
Virus that attaches to bacterial cell walls and injects its viral genome. Ceases bacterial reproduction.
(What is bacteriophage?)
|
“the biochemical signaling that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system.”
(What is the gut-brain axis?)
|
Bacterial species involved in the production of ~50% enzymes within the industrial sphere. Possesses remarkable fermentation properties, high protein production yield, and toxin-free production.
(What is Bacillus species?)
|
|
The categorization of metagenomic sequences to a taxonomic group
(What is binning?)
|
This liquid helps provide nutrients during the antibiotic production process
(What is corn steep liquor?)
|
Molecules whose active pharmaceutical ingredients are derived from living organisms such as animals, plants, microorganisms, human blood products, and tissue transplants that are too complex to be produced through organic synthesis.
(What are biologics?)
|
In humans, bacterial colonization of the gut is central to development and maturation of what two things?
(What is ENS & CNS?)
|
Gram positive bacteria that unlike e/coli uses extracellular secretion system and is preferred over e.coli due to its expression of 5 -methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase (Pfs) recombinant proteins.
(What is Lactococcus lactis?)
|
|
This polyol is used as a sugar replacer as it retains 100% sweetness.
(What is Xylitol?)
|
The original citric acid industrial production technique.
(What is surface fermentation?)
|
Antibiotics can work through two types of activity: killing the bacteria by lysing cells or stopping bacteria from replicating.
(What is bactericidal vs. bacteriostatic?)
|
Anxiety, depression, and this disorder that involves pain in the stomach along with gas, diarrhea, and constipation have high rates of comorbidity.
(What is irritable bowel syndrome?)
|
The family of fungi that were used by Hendriksen et. al. (1988) to convert glucose into mannitol
(What is penicillium?)
|
|
Measures of species richness & diversity (how many species in a microbial ecosystem, distribution of species) vs. differences between microbial communities vs. overall diversity of microbial species for different ecosystems
(What is alpha diversity, beta diversity, and gamma diversity?)
|
This fermentation procedure occurs in free-floating liquid. It is the umbrella term that includes batch-fed and continuous fermentation
(What is submerged fermentation?)
|
Antibiotic that binds to the 30S ribosome of bacteria, preventing attachment of the aminoacyl tRNA to the RNA-ribosome complex.
(What is tetracycline?)
|
These two definitions of: “the collection of genomes from all the microorganisms in the environment versus specific microorganisms found within a specific environment vs. They are all the microorganisms found in an environment, including fungi, bacteria and viruses.
(What is microbiome vs. microbiota?)
|
Multicellular filamentous fungi that can create life threatening fungal infections, but that can also offer great potential in the production of a desired substance via fermentation.
(What is Aspergillus species?)
