    Optimum pH 6.7–7.0 5.4–5.5 ... In fermentation, yeast ingests sugars and excretes ethanol. ... While amylases are found naturally in yeast cells, it takes time ...

  3. Pyruvate decarboxylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_decarboxylase

    In anaerobic conditions, this enzyme participates in the fermentation process that occurs in yeast, especially of the genus Saccharomyces, to produce ethanol by fermentation. It is also present in some species of fish (including goldfish and carp ) where it permits the fish to perform ethanol fermentation (along with lactic acid fermentation ...

    A second dosage is then often added around a third of the way through sugar fermentation and often before the sugar levels hit 12-10 Brix (6.5 to 5.5 Baumé, 48.3 to 40.0 Oechsle) because as the fermentation progresses yeast cells are no longer able to bring the nitrogen into the cell due to the increasing toxicity of ethanol surrounding the cells.

  5. Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae

    Saccharomyces cerevisiae (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ v ɪ s i. iː /) (brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.

  6. Leuconostoc mesenteroides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuconostoc_mesenteroides

    L. mesenteroides does best in temperatures ranging between 10 °C to 30 °C, [2] [3] but has an optimum temperature of 30 °C. Additionally, it can survive in a pH range of 4.5-7.0, with an optimum of 5.5-6.5. [5] L. mesenteroides also has a doubling time of 0.6 h −1 under aerobic conditions. [2] [3]

  7. YM (selective medium) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YM_(selective_medium)

    YM Agar and Broth, is a selective growth medium with low pH useful for cultivating yeasts, molds, or other acid-tolerant or acidophilic organisms, while deterring growth of most bacteria and other acid intolerant organisms. [1] It is malt extract medium modified by the addition of yeast extract and peptone. [2]

  8. Baker's yeast - Wikipedia

    Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast commonly used as baker's yeast. Gradation marks are 1 μm apart.. Baker yeast is the common name for the strains of yeast commonly used in baking bread and other bakery products, serving as a leavening agent which causes the bread to rise (expand and become lighter and softer) by converting the fermentable sugars present in the dough into carbon dioxide and ...

  9. Enolase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enolase

    The optimum pH for the human enzyme is 6.5. [4] Enolase is present in all tissues and organisms capable of glycolysis or fermentation. The enzyme was discovered by Lohmann and Meyerhof in 1934, [5] and has since been isolated from a variety of sources including human muscle and erythrocytes. [4]
