Chocolate Production
Cocoa is the dried and
partially fermented seed of
the cacao tree.
Cocoa processing converts
beans to liquor, butter, cake
and powder.
Cocoa liquor is used to
make chocolate by adding
cocoa butter. Adding sugar,
condensed milk or cream,
emulsifying agents and
flavours in different
proportions makes different
types of chocolate.

be obtained in diet. Worldwide production of amino acids from microorganisms

In the past, disposal of untreated waste water (from washing and toilets) was
commonly achieved by direct disposal into rivers or streams.
Free flowing, aerated streams can self purify, but the quantity of water and solid
matter discharged by cities (1000s of tons per day) overwhelms such natural
regeneration.
Sewage treatment
To deal with sewage, most cities undertake sewage treatment. This
treatment consists of three stages:
Primary Treatment: Large floating materials are screened out, skimmers are used
to remove floating oil and grease, and sediment and grit are allowed to settle out. In
a second settling tank, more solids settle out as “primary sludge”. This removes up
to 60% of the suspended solids.
~left over water
Secondary Treatment: Effluent from the primary sedimentation tanks undergo
aeration in an activated sludge system or a trickle filter system. Microbial activity
oxidises the organic matter. The remaining secondary sludge is sent to a sludge
digestion tank where anaerobic microorganisms break decompose the organic

Sewage treatment plants and landfill disposal sites both generate

can be used to power the facilities.
Bioremediatiom
Microorganisms are able to break down intractable wastes and
pollutants into harmless compounds. This process is called
bioremediation when organisms are purposely used in this way.

Microbial symbionts
Most larger organisms depend on symbioses with microorganisms for their survival.
Herbivores: Animals lack the enzyme cellulase to break down the cellulose which
is the major component of plants. All herbivores contain symbiotic microorganisms
in their gut to digest this cellulose. cellulose

Most terrestrial plants have obligate symbioses with fungi. These
fungi form associations with roots called mycorrhiza. Mycorrhiza
are the major organs of nutrient uptake in terrestrial ecosystems,
and are particularly important in uptake of water and phosphorus.
