Petroleum microbiology is a branch of microbiology that deals with the study of microorganisms that can metabolize or alter crude or refined petroleum products.These microorganisms, also called hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms, can degrade hydrocarbons and, include a wide distribution of bacteria, methanogenic archaea, and some fungi.
Monoglycerides and diglycerides are types of glycerides both naturally present in food fats, [2] including various seed oils; [3] however, their concentration is usually low and industrial production is primarily achieved by a glycerolysis reaction between triglycerides (fats/oils) and glycerol, [4] followed by purification via solvent-free molecular distillation.
Like all the foods on a classic BRAT diet, bananas are simple to digest for the body. They also have enzymes that assist in digestion, plus potassium, an important electrolyte. White Rice
The gastroesophageal junction between the esophagus and the stomach is controlled by the lower esophageal sphincter, which remains constricted at all times other than during swallowing and vomiting to prevent the contents of the stomach from entering the esophagus. As the esophagus does not have the same protection from acid as the stomach, any ...
This is likely due to lactose intolerance, a condition making it hard to digest lactose, a sugar found in dairy products. Most newborns are able to produce lactase, an enzyme crucial for the ...
Unsurprisingly, hard red winter wheat has a higher gluten content than soft winter wheat, making it likely harder to digest for all us gluten-sensitives out there. Donato Fasano - Getty Images.
Lysozyme: Considering that food contains more than just essential nutrients, e.g. bacteria or viruses, the lysozyme offers a limited and non-specific, yet beneficial antiseptic function in digestion. Of note is the diversity of the salivary glands. There are two types of salivary glands:
Extracellular phototropic digestion is a process in which saprobionts feed by secreting enzymes through the cell membrane onto the food. The enzymes catalyze the digestion of the food, i.e., diffusion, transport, osmotrophy or phagocytosis.
