Aside from Paraffin, what is your recommended infiltrating medium for routine purposes? why?

Aspergillus can be used to produce α-amylase (α-AM), which is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the glycosidic bonds in starch molecules into maltose (disaccharide). Pure α-AM has a specific activity of 56.00 U/mg. The α-AM is secreted into the culture media during production (after 5 days, production is complete). Following, the Aspergilluscells are separated by centrifugation and discarded. The culture supernatant (with α-AM) is filtered giving a clarified supernatant with a volume of 100.0 L, activity of 3.00 U/mL, and total protein concentration of 0.650 mg/mL. After purification, the product stream (7.50 L) contains α-AM (25.00 U/mL) and a total of 6.788 x 103 mg total protein. Calculate the following: Concentration of total protein (g/L) and total units of activity in the clarified supernatant and purification product stream. Specific activities (U/g) of the clarified supernatant and purification product stream. Consider significant figures in your answers (may want to use scientific…
