| alcoholic fermentation | The anaerobic formation of ethanol and CO2 from d-glucose. Compare: Gay-Lussac's equation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| amylic fermentation | Fermentation of potato or corn mash, or other starchy material, by which fusel oil is produced. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vaccuum fermentation | A system for producing ethanol (grain alcohol) and other volatile fermentation products, in thisprocess, fermentation occurs continuouslyunder reduced pressure, which lets the volatile product leave the cycleas an exhaust gas, which is then collected in a separate chamber. (09 Oct 1997) |
| heterolactic fermentation | <chemistry> A type of lactic acid fermentation in which sugars (for example lactose, glucose) are fermented to a range of products. Compare: homolactic fermentation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| symbiotic fermentation phenomenon | "two organisms, neither of which alone produces gas fermentation in certain carbohydrates, may do so when living in symbiosis or when artificially mixed" (Castellani). (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxidation-fermentation test | <investigation> A test to to determine whether a given bacterial strain has an oxidative or fermentativetype of metabolism by seeing what it doesto a carbohydrate substrate. (09 Oct 1997) |
| fermentation | <microbiology> The anaerobic enzymatic conversion of organic compounds, especially carbohydrates, to simpler compounds, especially to ethyl alcohol, resulting in energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The process is used in the production of alcohol, bread, vinegar and other food or industrial products. It differs from respiration in that organic substances rather than molecular oxygen are used as electron acceptors. Fermentation occurs widely in bacteria and yeasts, the process usually being identified by the product formed, for example, acetic, alcoholic, butyric and lactic fermentation are those that result in the formation of acetic acid, alcohol, butyric acid and lactic acid, respectively.

| fermentation Lactobacillus casei factor | Pteroyl-gamma-glutamyl-gamma-glutamylglutamic acid;a folic acid conjugate, a principle chemically similar to folic acid except that it contains three molecules of glutamic acid instead of one, in g linkage. Synonym: fermentation Lactobacillus casei factor, pteroyltriglutamic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fermentation substrates | Materials used as food for growing microorganisms, part of the culture medium along with chemicals that facilitate fermentation and other trace materials. (14 Nov 1997) |
| malignant mixed mullerian tumour | A sarcoma of the body of the uterus arising in older women, composed of more than one mesenchymal tissue, especially including striated muscle cells. Synonym: malignant mixed mullerian tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gonadal dysgenesis, mixed | A syndrome of gonadal dysgenesis in which there is a testis on one side and a "streak gonad" on the other. The phenotype is generally male, but may be female since the individual is a mosaic. Various karyotypes have been identified, including 45,xo/47,xyy; 45,xo/46,xy; and 45,xo/46,xyo. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mixed | Formed by mixing; united; mingled; blended. See Mix, Mixed action, voices of both males and females united in the same performance. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| mixed agglutination | Immune agglutination in which the aggregates contain cells of two different kinds but with common antigenic determinants; when used to identify isoantigens, the test cells are exposed to appropriate isoantibody, washed, and then mixed with indicator erythrocytes that combine with free sites on the test cell-attached isoantibody. Synonym: mixed agglutination. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mixed agglutination reaction | Immune agglutination in which the aggregates contain cells of two different kinds but with common antigenic determinants; when used to identify isoantigens, the test cells are exposed to appropriate isoantibody, washed, and then mixed with indicator erythrocytes that combine with free sites on the test cell-attached isoantibody. Synonym: mixed agglutination. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mixed aphasia | In which all aspects of speech and communication are severely impaired. at best, patients can understand or speak only a few words or phrases; they cannot read or write. Synonym: mixed aphasia, total aphasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
