ester

Examples of ester in the following topics:

• Filtration

  • Membrane filters used in production processes are commonly made from materials such as mixed cellulose ester or polyethersulfone.

• Wine, Beer, and Alcohol

  • The temperature used for top-fermenting (15-24ºC) leads to the production of a lot of esters and flavor products that give beer a fruity taste.

• Syntrophy

  • As a result of the need to produce high energy phosphate-containing organic compounds (generally in the form of CoA-esters) fermentative organisms use NADH and other cofactors to produce many different reduced metabolic by-products, often including hydrogen gas (H2).

• Phenotypic Analysis

  • While bacterial cell membranes are made from phosphoglycerides with ester bonds, archaean membranes are made of ether lipids.

• Amino Acid Synthesis

  • Proteins are made from amino acids that have been activated by attachment to a transfer RNA molecule through an ester bond.
