3. Basics… Single-celled fungi Ascomycetes Serve as nutrient recyclers in nature Important in: –Industry –Biotechnology –Agents of disease in humans

4. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Baker’s Yeast "Saccharomyces” –Latinized Greek –Means "sugar mold" or "sugar fungus“ “Cerevisiae” –Latin –Means "of beer"

5. Baker’s Yeast & Other Stuff Antibodies against S. cerevisiae are found in –60–70% of patients with Crohn’s disease –10–15% of patients with ulcerative colitis Biologically changing the chemistry of the dough or batter as the yeast works Yeast leavening requires proofing- allows yeast time to reproduce & consume carbs in flour

6. Fermentation Scientific Definition conversion of carbohydrates to alcohols and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts, bacteria, or a combination thereof, under anaerobic conditions English Version chemical conversion of sugars into ethanol

7. Biotechnology in the Medicine World

8. Personalized Medicine Medicine use to be able to treat a certain symptom but now they are able to treat those symptoms with more precision. By using biotechnology and looking at DNA Doctors are able to create drugs that are specifically designed for you and your genetic make-up.

9. Artificial Lymph Nodes Scientist have developed artificial lymph nodes that can replace existing ones. By using biotechnology they are able to create nodes that can fit your body perfectly based on your gene’s

10. Vaccine in a banana Researchers have developed a vaccine for the hepatitis virus that can be taken by just Eating a banana

11. Prosthetics

12. What are Prosthetics? A prosthetic is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part. There are many different prosthetic body parts from arms, legs, hearts and lungs, eyes, palatal obturator, gastric bands, and dentures.

13. How Prosthetics Work There are different types of prosthetic body parts, all with the same purpose. The prosthetic body part is attached to the body, connected to the nerves and muscles of the body. With proper physical therapy, patients can have adjust to movement with their prosthetic part.

14. Prosthetics in the Future Currently out is the Proto 2, which is the greatest innovation in prosthetics. It is a “thought controlled” prosthetic arm, where movement is controlled with your mind. Researchers are currently working on improving the arm to give it more movement and decrease the battery size.
