Question

MICROORGANISMS ARE USED FOR THE LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL,WINE AND ACETIC ACID . X IS USED FOR COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL AND WINE. THE PROCESS OF CONVERSION OF SUGAR INTO ALCOHOL IS KNOWN AS FERMENTATION.

A) WHAT IS X HERE ? OTHER THAN YEAST.AND EXPLAIN THE PROCESS

Answer 1

SUGAR HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO ALCOHOL BY YEAST .THIS PROCESS OF SUGAR INTO ALCOHOL IS KNOWN AS FERMENTATION

Answer 2

Answer:

Aspergillus oryzae, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, S. cerevisiae,

Explanation:

Fermentation is the process by which the molecules such as glucose are broken down into alcohol or an acid. Zymology is the study of fermentation. The process of fermentation can produce a wide range of food and beverage products like wine, beer, cheese etc.

Fermentation is of three types:

Lactic Acid Fermentation: Sugars or starch are converted into lactic acid by bacteria and strains of yeast. This also takes place in human muscle cells during rigorous use of muscles in activities like running etc.

Alcohol Fermentation: Yeast breaks down the pyruvate molecules causing the sugar metabolism called glycolysis to produce alcohol and carbon di oxide.

Acetic Acid Fermentation:

Sugars and starch are converted into ethanol and then the bacteria acetobacter aceti converts ethanol into acetic acid and water.
