This microorganism is considered the “gold standard” for cell factories.

This anaerobic biochemical reaction in which an enzyme catalyzes the conversion of one substrate into another, ie: sugars + yeast = alcohols.

This scientist discovered penicillin. (first and last names)

Microbes outnumber human cells by this ratio.

This bacteria has no generation of glycosylated protein, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS), does not produce endotoxins, and has probiotic properties. Often used in cheese, yogurt, and sauerkraut.

These live microorganisms confer a health benefit to the host when administered in adequate amounts.

The initial culture, food, and nutrients in a shaker flask

A virus that attaches to bacterial cell walls and injects its viral genome. It ceases bacterial reproduction.

“The biochemical signaling that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system.”

This bacterial species is involved in the production of ~50% enzymes within the industrial sphere. It possesses remarkable fermentation properties, high protein production yield, and toxin-free production.

The categorization of metagenomic sequences to a taxonomic group.

This liquid helps provide nutrients during the antibiotic production process

These molecules have active pharmaceutical ingredients 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.

In humans, bacterial colonization of the gut is central to development and maturation of what two things?

This 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.

This polyol is used as a sugar replacer as it retains 100% sweetness.

The original citric acid industrial production technique.

Antibiotics can work through these two types of activity: killing the bacteria by lysing cells or stopping bacteria from replicating.

Anxiety, depression, and this disorder that involves pain in the stomach along with gas, diarrhea, and constipation have high rates of comorbidity.

This family of fungi was used by Hendriksen et. al. (1988) to convert glucose into mannitol.

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

This fermentation procedure occurs in free-floating liquid. It is the umbrella term that includes batch-fed and continuous fermentation

This antibiotic binds to the 30S ribosome of bacteria, preventing attachment of the aminoacyl tRNA to the RNA-ribosome complex.

These two definitions: “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.

These multicellular filamentous fungi can create life threatening fungal infections, but also offer great potential in the production of a desired substance via fermentation.
