Polypropene vs Polyglycine
Why must the temperature be kept at 37 deg C during fermentation of glucose solution?
At 37 deg C, the enzymes in yeast are the most active, so fermentation process will be fastest.
At low temperatures, the enzymes in yeast are inactive, so fermentation will be slow.
At high temperatures, the enzymes in yeast will be denatured, so fermentation will stop.
