Observación del efecto reductor de N-Acetilcisteína en el metabolismo de levaduras

The research focuses on the design of experimental teaching using readily available materials and simple methods to implement. It arises as an example for learning, using baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, because it has many of the metabolic pathways existing in mammalian cells. In this paper it was developed an essay that allow students to observe macroscopically the capacity of N- Acetyl cysteine (NAC) to stimulate the reducing power of yeast using indicator Methylene Blue (MB) color change.
