Philip Harris Microbiology of Yoghurt Kit
Product code: B8A18442
Product Description
One of the oldest examples of the application of biotechnology. Nevertheless a very useful way of illustrating how micro-organisms can be used in manufacturing products and the importance of monitoring the steps along the way.
This Microbiology of Yoghurt Kit investigates:
- The differential growth rates of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus
- Estimation of the total bacterial population
- Titration of acid produced
- Measuring pH
- Determination of clotting point of casein
The kit provides sufficient practical activity to occupy a normal class of students at 16+ level working in groups. The concepts included in the kit are particularly suitable for A-Level students and for use at college level. These organisms present no particular safety problems.
The kit contains:
- Yoghurt starter culture
- Indicator papers
- Resazurin tablet
- Microscope slides
- Methyl violet
- Inoculating loop
- Gram's iodine
- Droppers
- Carbol fuchsin
- Pipettes
- Phenolphthalein
- Full instructions
- A-Level Biology: The Fermentation of Yeast
- Aseptic handling technique should always be observed when handling bacterial cultures.
- Our living bacterial cultures are carefully selected for teaching purposes, and as such, most are classified as Hazard Group 1 - unlikely to cause human disease.
- Bacterial cultures should be regularly subcultured to maintain their health.
- Cultures should always be inspected for contamination before use.
- Any cultures stored in the fridge should be given time to return to room temperature before use.
