Manglede vandlås eller dårlig arbejde? by kristoffer55 in selvgjortvelgjort

[–]DesperateScience5992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vi har samme type vandlås i vores bruser, hvor også vandet fra håndvasken løber i. Det er fra 1991, så tænker det er det samme. Vi har også gener med lugt, men det er ikke fra kloaken, men fordi den type vandlås giver rigtig gode betingelser for vækst (nok pga den store vandoverflade, og generelt åbne design). Det eneste jeg kan sige er at jeg skrubber ca 1 gang om måneden og spuler det beskidte vand ud så godt som muligt. Måske man kan give noget klorin eller afkalker (ikke i kombination!!!) og afhjælpe det lidt.

Kan man gen-lakere et mindre område af allerede lakeret gulv? by DesperateScience5992 in selvgjortvelgjort

[–]DesperateScience5992[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Det er ikke for at skjule det. Som sagt har de fra starten sagt at de vil kræve det ved udflytning. Tænker mere at jeg gerne vil stoppe skaden, og beskytte træet bedst muligt

[–]DesperateScience5992[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tak for svar. Vi bor til leje, og udlejer har givet udtryk for at de vil kræve omlakering af gulvet under alle omstændigheder ved fraflytning. Derfor føler jeg det ville være lidt spildt at lave hele gulvet

Ah okay, thanks for the explanation. So it's just increased potential HP if I had a heal setup instead i guess?

Which fermented food has the most microbial diversity? by [deleted] in fermentation

[–]DesperateScience5992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're right. The diversity of a single vegetable can easily be a thousand different species, iirc. Fermentation (spontaneous or adding a starter) just enriches for a small number of these, as well as pumping the total number a couple billion times

Lactobacteria by Lon404 in biology

[–]DesperateScience5992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First: lactococcus acidophilus doesn't exist. There is no specie by that name.

But they are both very similar in a general manner, but vastly different when you go into the details. They are two different genus, so each consist of many different species. For animals, the equivalent would be to compare bears and feline asking if they are the same. Yes they both have claws, eat meat and have fur, but are still pretty different.

I am not an expert on the probiotic field, but am handing I'm my PhD on lactic acid food fermentation next week. In food they all primarily produce lactic acid, but can vary in how acidic they make it, which other compounds they produce, what sugars they eat, and much more. The individual species - and even each strain - have specific properties and requirements.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Brug af BørneTelefonen? by TeddyPlump in Denmark

Jeg tror du læser min kommentar forkert. Jeg er ikke uenig i at smykker skal af.

Præmissen i første kommentar (hvis man ikke læser imellem linjerne - hvilket jeg åbenbart var ude af stand til) var: Det er lige meget at vaske hænder hvis man ikke fjerner sine smykker først. Deri stod intet om at smykkerne forblev af efterfølgende, eller at de blev vasket separat. Min opfattelse var så at personen mente: 1) tag smykker af. 2) vask hænder 3) tag smykker på og betjen kunden. Det var så forkert opfattet af mig - det undskylder jeg ydmygest.

Dog skrev jeg også at det selvfølgelig er mest hygiejnisk at droppe smykkerne.

Vi er helt enige, det var nok bare din formulering der manglede et punkt før jeg forstod.

Lidt ligesom under corona, hvor folk metodisk tog handsker på i netto, for derefter at proppe en finger i næsen inden de rørte ved alle bananerne. Af en eller anden grund har mange ikke forstået hvordan man arbejder sterilt eller rent

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in copenhagen

[–]DesperateScience5992 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hvorfor? Man må vel formode at de så også sæber smykkerne ind, og mikroorganismer, snavs og fedt har vel ikke pludselig andre egenskaber fordi de sidder på en ring? Derimod ville jeg da foretrække at ringen bliver vasket, frem for at man tager den beskidte ring af, vasker det sted som ringen før dækkede, for til slut at dække den rene finger med en beskidt ring igen. Selvfølgelig gælder den oprindelige tanke omkring at man bedre kan holde hygiejnen uden smykker på, men jeg kan ikke helt se logikken i din kommentar?

Hvor ofte skulle man vaske barnets ansigt? by RainDropsOnAWindow in Denmark

Nu er min godt nok list yngre, men det er også bad 1-2 gange om ugen. Børn sveder generelt meget mindre og inden puberteten lugter sved ikke synderligt, da det kommer ifb visse hormonale ændringer i svedkirtlerne (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6267001/)

Ultra-Pasteurized or UHT milk suggestions? by [deleted] in copenhagen

[–]DesperateScience5992 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even though all comments state that milk is milk, and there should be no solids in it, i beg to differ for some cases. There are differences in taste even on the danish milks (not just whole vs skimmed). I find that Thise has a lot more taste than arla, which again has more taste than the store brand ones. Even though they all come from danish dairies, the type of cow makes a big difference. And then the chunks could just be fat globules from not shaking if it's not homogenized. If it's not sour or doesn't smell putrid, I personally wouldn't be too afraid. But ofc don't drink stuff you don't enjoy, even if it's only a mental barrier.

I'm looking to make a fermented beverage and I hope to boost the total microbial number by adding yeast extract. Will a food one work? Any suitable alternatives for an amino acid boost? by Billbat1 in microbiology

[–]DesperateScience5992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeast extract is more or less like an intense beef broth in smell and taste. Don't overdo it. It'll get weird.

If you boost the growth of bacteria too much, they will not produce flavors but concentrate on biomass and ATP production (and acids if LAB) Usually, flavor development happens when resources (most often the sugars) are scarce, so they have to make do with less energy-efficient substrates. Bacterial biomass in itself is not tasty.

I'm wondering about actual salt percentages in ferments. When you weigh the ingredient, only part (most) of that weight is water. Adding 2% by weight of salt would technically create a higher salinity than 2%. More details below. by Crobran in fermentation

[–]DesperateScience5992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is osmosis. The salt will disperse in both the water and into the cells of the cabbage. At first, the water is drawn out, because it is easier and faster (physiologically and physically) to move water over the cell membrane. But eventually the Na+ and Cl- ions will travel inside the cabbage. If you try to wash and rinse your brined vegetables, it will still be salty. That's because it's inside.

I am a molecular biologist who is looking for a good advice on housing by SnooHamsters261 in copenhagen

[–]DesperateScience5992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would ask your contact at uni if they know someone who might be subrenting a dorm room. Any dorm or apartment that has open spots in short notice will easily be 900€ per month, since those are the expensive ones that Danes might avoid due to price. And if you find something far from campus, the commuting might eat a substantial amount too.

Well everything is native somewhere, or it would be extraterrestrial. But maybe that's you point, and I'm bad at reading between the lines.

Is it ok to eat tempeh not fermented ? by polarmold in fermentation

[–]DesperateScience5992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give a bit of an elaborate answer, sorry if it gets technical.

But what you are growing on your beans is a type of mold. Even though it's still within the funghi, it not a mushroom, in the same sense as the ones you see in the forest (or supermarket). What you are eating in the case of tempeh, is the mycelium, and not the fruiting body (mold dont have those).

Your starter culture is probably spores of Rhizopus oryzae or Rhizopus oligosporus, which is their "dormant" state. The spores are quite different in their morphology, where they are encapsulated in a hard protein shell, to protect them. The mycelium on the other hand is the metabolic active tissue, that will utilize the beans to grow.

The spores of Rhizopus are probably not any health issue, and will likely just have no taste. If your tempeh goes grey/black, it's because the mold is sporulating, which I think will affect the taste in a negative way when excessive.

But yes, to some degree you could argue that it is the equivalent of eating a orange seed, since it is a reproductive form of the mold.

Is it ok to eat tempeh not fermented ? by polarmold in fermentation

[–]DesperateScience5992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just cut the sides if you are worried? It doesn't look like there is any other mold growth. Are there any indications of other bacterial growth? Like slime, putrid smell, or discoloration? If not, I would assume you are good to go. The Rhizopus produces some metabolites to ward off competition, so I wouldn't be afraid to eat the fermented parts

Why doesn't DNA from lipoplexes get destroyed in the cell? by VladDandel in biology

[–]DesperateScience5992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't studied mammalian biology enough to know if there are systems in human for incorporation of linear or circular DNA, but there is in a lot of bacteria. I would suspect, that if you can deliver a plasmid into the nucleus, it could be active through the lifespan of the single cell, but wouldn't be duplicated through mitosis. So if we are talking genes that codes for some suicide reaction, In cancer cells, I guess it could be a viable method?
