From the Paper:

"The substances tested in this experiment are glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, starch, saccharine, and aspartame. Saccharine is tested in the form of Sweet 'n' Low solution, aspartame is tested in Diet Pepsi, and a natural fruit juice and Pepsi are tested as a measure of natural sugars in common solution. The capacity of the yeast to metabolize each of the different natural or synthetic carbohydrates in this experiment is measured by the quantity of CO2 released during the reaction. It was determined by comparing CO2 production that in a controlled reaction with baker's yeast, galactose, lactose, starch, aspartame, and saccharine all displayed no significant change in gas volume, indicating that the yeast is not able to ferment these substances and thereby create CO2. Glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, Pepsi, and fruit juice all produced noticeable amounts of CO2, indicating successful metabolic action by the yeast with these substances."

I am currently enrolled as an honors student at the University of Kansas. I have completed the requirements for a B.A. in English and am finishing up the independent research needed to earn an honors B.S. in genetics. I intend to submit a variety of works to AcaDemon that would be a constructive resource for students in any curriculum prior to university graduate studies.
