a) Would other substrates be as effective as glucose in alcoholic fermentation? Possible substrates: sucroce (table sugar- glucose and fructose disaccharide), honey (mainly fructose and glucose), corn syrup (fructose and sucrose), starch (glucose polymer in plants), saccharin, equal, splenda, fructose, maltose, pyruvate, stevia, agave nectar. b) Would fermentation rates change with different types of yeasts, for example, quick rise, champagne yeast using in wine making and candida milleri used in sourdough? c) What environmental conditions are optimum for alcoholic fermentation? what temperature ranges? What pH ranges? Do these environmental conditions have different effects on different strains or species of yeast? d) What is the maximum amount of ethyl alcohol that can be tolerated by yeast cells?
