Advanced - For experienced high school and college classes; requires some technical skill.
This lab focuses on a strain of baker's yeast, modified to produce ß-carotene, a nutrient we naturally obtain from eating specific vegetables. In the body, ß-carotene is converted to vitamin A, which is crucial for several biological functions. Investigate how one can possibly substitute standard baker's yeast, making it possible for users to bake vitamin A-enriched loaves of bread.
