What are the effects of these conditions on fermentation?

Postby undisclothesed on Tue Mar 14, 2006 2:41 am

we did a lab the other day on the effects of ph, substrate (lactose), MgCl2, NaF, and temperature on yeast fermentation.

I can understand how NaF (an inhibitor) would decrease fermentation rate.

What I don't understand is how pH levels, MgCl2, and temperature effect yeast fermentation..?

I've been googling for the past hour and can not come up with any answers :? Can someone please help me out?

For every organism in the world, there is particular temperature and pH where its activity is maximum.

For yeast I think it should be around 30 degC and its pH requirement is acidic condition (not very much)

It's generally about the enzyme activity.
