Fermentation of glycine


A 1ml pipetman was used to measure 1 ml of each of the test solutions and placed them in separated test tubes. The 1 ml pipetman was then used to take 1ml of the yeast solution, and placed 1ml of yeast into the five test tubes all containing 1 ml of the test solutions. A 1ml graduated pipette was placed separately in each of the test tubes and extracted 1ml of the solutions into it. Once the mixture was in the pipette, someone from the group placed a piece of parafilm securely on the open end of the pipette and upon completion removed the top part of the graduated pipette.
             When the top part was off, a pasture pipette was used to completely fill the graduated pipette to the top with the test solution used. Once totally filled, making sure no bubbles were in it, the pipette was turned upside down back into the test tube containing the remaining mixture of the test solution. Once the pipette was in place fermentation began. All the test solutions were measured for Carbon Dioxide release every five minutes for one hour. .
             Results.
             Water and glycine show no Carbon Dioxide production, however; glacatose, glucose, and sucrose did the most productive test solution was galactose. Galactose released .17ml of Carbon Dioxide per minute with a huge production during the 20-25 minute mark of .85ml/minute of Carbon Dioxide. The rate at which yeast produced fermentation remained steady after the 20-25 minute mark of .065ml/minute of Carbon Dioxide. It remained unchanged after the 35-minute mark of .98ml of carbon dioxide; being the maximum rate of fermentation (Graph I). Glucose, the second most productive test solution produced .014 ml of carbon dioxide every minute and the rate of change was very different from that of galactose. The rate of carbon dioxide production was steady with no sudden burst of Carbon Dioxide production like galactose. It did not stop producing Carbon Dioxide, rather, it had reached a peak at the end of the hour of .
