Science Week XXIX Opens at UABC (El Vigia, 10/20/12 by Montserrat Buendia)
Ensenada, BC - Botox, yeast, yogurt and other products are manufactured using good bacteria for the body, either for medical use or consumption and health. During the 29th week of Sciences of the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC), Greece Ibarra, a student of biology, explained to children that not all bacteria are present or micro-organisms are bad. Many of them are used to make food products, medicines, beauty treatments or serve to raise bread or give consistency to beer.
The young student told the children of primary and pre-school that not all bacteria hurt or make humans or animals sick, but work in to other areas of daily life. Botox, for example, is a material used for aesthetic beauty that extracted from a bacterium called clostridium botulinum, which helps stretch facial muscles. He said is used to help with the loss of mobility in the face. When some stars of film or music speak or make facial expressions, their face does not display the same kind of gesture. He explained that yeasts are fungi that allow you to increase or inflate the bread dough, then cap it to produces gases that cause fermentation.
