Cyclohexane Removal in a Dual-Tube Membrane Bioreactor

A dual-tube dense-phase silicone rubber membrane bioreactor was investigated for control of cyclohexane-contaminated air as part of a jet propulsion (JP-8) fuel remediation investigation strategy. The reactor was seeded with a mixed bacterial consortium isolated from the water/fuel interface of a JP-8 jet fuel sample and activated sludge, capable of aromatic and cyclic compound biodegradation. Cyclohexane removal ranged from 1.1 to 28.6 mg L^?1, with removal percentages ranging from 4.6% to 37.6%. Removal in the bioreactor ranged from 29.4 to 596.6 mg min^?1 m^?2 and measured elimination capacities ranged from 46.7 to 947.9 g m^?3 h^?1. Removal rates and elimination capacity increased with increasing biofilm growth and with increasing loading rates of cyclohexane. Loading rates ranged from 395.9 to 2189.5 mg min^?1 m^?2. Results of this study showed effective removal of cyclohexane using the membrane bioreactor, suggesting that this technology may have applicability for treating vapors contaminated with cyclic hydrocarbons.

库布齐沙漠东部不同生物结皮发育阶段土壤温室气体通量

以流动沙地为对照,采用时空替代法分析库布齐沙漠东部固定沙地上不同发育阶段生物结皮藻类结皮和地衣结皮土壤温室气体通量特征及其与环境因子之间的关系,研究生物结皮发育对荒漠土壤温室气体通量的影响.结果表明: 荒漠土壤CO₂排放通量大小为地衣结皮(128.5 mg·m^-2·h^-1)>藻结皮(70.2 mg·m^-2·h^-1)>流动沙地(48.2 mg·m^-2·h^-1),CH₄吸收通量大小为地衣结皮(30.4 μg·m^-2·h^-1)>藻结皮(21.2 μg·m^-2·h^-1)>流动沙地(18.2 μg·m^-2·h^-1),N₂O排放通量大小为地衣结皮(6.6 μg·m^-2·h^-1)>藻结皮(5.4 μg·m^-2·h^-1)>流动沙地(2.5 μg·m^-2·h^-1).CO₂排放具有明显的季节变化,生长季显著大于非生长季;CH₄和N₂O季节变化差异不显著,前者生长季吸收大于非生长季,后者非生长季排放大于生长季.土壤有机碳和全氮含量、土壤微生物数量均是影响温室气体通量的重要因素,环境水热因子是影响土壤CO₂排放的关键因子,但CH₄和N₂O通量对水热因子的变化不敏感.随着植被恢复和生物结皮发育,荒漠土壤温室气体累积通量的不断增大导致其百年尺度的全球增温潜势亦显著提高,依次为地衣结皮(1135.7 g CO₂-e·m^-2·a^-1)>藻结皮(626.5 g CO₂-e·m^-2·a^-1) >流动沙地(422.7 g CO₂-e·m^-2·a^-1).     

Continuous production of isovaleraldehyde through extractive bioconversion in a hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor

A membrane bioreactor was developed to perform an extractive bioconversion aimed at the production of isovaleraldehyde by isoamyl alcohol oxidation with whole cells of Gluconobacter oxydans. A liquid/liquid extractive system using isooctane as extractant and assisted by a hollow-fiber hydrophobic membrane was chosen to recover the product. The aqueous bioconversion phase and the organic phase were maintained apart with the aid of the membrane. The extraction of alcohol and aldehyde was evaluated by performing equilibrium and mass transfer kinetic studies. The bioprocess was then performed in a continuous mode with addition of the substrate to the aqueous phase. Fresh solvent was added to the organic phase and exhausted solvent was removed at the same flow rate. The extractive system enabled a fast and selective in situ removal of the aldehyde from the water to the organic phase. High conversions (72–90%) and overall productivity (2.0–3.0 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹) were obtained in continuous experiments performed with different rates of alcohol addition (1.5–3.5 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹). Cell deactivation was observed after 10–12 h of operation.

The Biotransformation of Propylene to Propylene Oxide by Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath): 3. Reactivation of Inactivated Whole Cells to Give a High Productivity System

Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) possesses methane monooxygenases (soluble - (sMMO) and particulate - (pMMO)) which are able to catalyse the epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide. In a previous paper we have shown that the production of the epoxide caused a rapid inactivation of the bioconversion process (Stanley et al, 1992). This paper shows that cultures containing pMMO, inactivated by propylene oxide production, could be completely reactivated in the presence of growth substrates within 5 h after the removal of propylene oxide so long as the propylene oxide production rate was below 150 nmol min^-1 [mg dry weight cells]^-1. Reactivation under these conditions was detectable within 30 min of propylene oxide removal. On the other hand, cells inactivated by propylene oxide production rates in excess of 150 nmol min^-1 [mg dry weight]^-1 did not begin to recover activity within the 30 min period. Furthermore a lag period was observed before reactivation began which was dependent upon the initial production rate. Cultures possessing sMMO took twice as long to recover their activity compared with cells containing pMMO.

Reactivation of propylene oxide production could occur without growth, but the process required the presence of a carbon and energy source (methane or methanol), sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen, although copper (which is normally involved in pMMO activity) was not required. It was shown that de novo protein synthesis was required for reactivation of activity.

Production rates of 12 g 1^-1 d^-1 could be maintained for longer than three weeks in a single phase production process and rates up to 30 g 1^-1 d^-1 were achieved in a two stage process. Using Methylocystis parvus (OBBP) rates of up to 90 g 1^-1 d^-1 were attained over a one week period.

工厂化堆肥温室气体排放和氨气同位素特征

畜禽废弃物堆肥处理过程中产生的二氧化碳(CO₂)、氧化亚氮(N₂O)、甲烷(CH₄)和氨气(NH₃)等是重要的温室气体和大气污染物。但目前有关该过程气体排放的研究多基于室内小型模拟的反应器式堆肥,在工厂化堆肥条件下的原位气体排放监测较少。为探究工厂化堆肥产生气体对区域环境的影响,本研究对沈阳某堆肥厂畜禽废弃物堆体的气体排放进行了19 d的监测,并量化了排放氨气的自然丰度¹⁵N(δ¹⁵N)特征。结果表明: 堆置周期内,CO₂、CH₄、N₂O和NH₃的平均排放速率分别为86.8 g CO₂-C·d^-1·m^-2、9.8 g CH₄-C·d^-1·m^-2、3.7 mg N₂O-N·d^-1·m^-2和736.6 mg NH₃-N·d^-1·m^-2。温室气体日增温潜势(GWP)的贡献大小为CH₄>CO₂>NH₃(间接)>N₂O,其中CH₄贡献了65％。堆肥排放NH₃的δ¹⁵N在-21.8‰～-7.2‰,平均-11.6‰±1.2‰。本研究结果可为区域畜禽废弃物堆肥过程中温室气体排放的核算及大气氨溯源提供数据支持。

Involvement of plasma membrane-located calmodulin in the response decay of cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel of cultured carrot cells

Increase in cytoplasmic cyclic AMP concentration stimulates Ca²⁺ influx through the cyclic AMP-gated cation channel in the plasma membrane of cultured carrot cells. However, the Ca²⁺ current terminated after a few minutes even in the presence of high concentrations of cyclic AMP indicating that hydrolysis of the nucleotide is not responsible for stop of the Ca²⁺ influx. Cyclic AMP evoked discharge of Ca²⁺ from inside-out sealed vesicles of carrot plasma membrane, and it was strongly inhibited when the suspension of the vesicles was supplemented with 1 μM of free Ca²⁺, while Ca²⁺ lower than 0.1 μM did not affect the Ca²⁺-release. The Ca²⁺ flux across plasma membrane was restored from this Ca²⁺-induced inhibition by the addition of calmodulin inhibitors or anti-calmodulin. These results suggest that Ca²⁺ influx initiated by the increase in intracellular cAMP in cultured carrot cells is terminated when the cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration reaches the excitatory level in the cells, and calmodulin located in the plasma membrane plays an important role in the response decay of the cyclic nucleotide-gated Ca²⁺ channel.

Sorbitol and Gluconate Production in a Hollow Fibre Membrane Reactor by Immobilized Zymomonas Mobilis

This study describes the results of a hollow fibre membrane reactor with immobilized treated cells of Zymomonas mobilis which produced sorbitol and gluconic acid continuously from fructose and glucose respectively. A productivity of 10-20 g sorbitol · L^-1 · h^-1 and 10-20 gluconate · L^-1 · h^-1 (based on total bioreactor volume) from a feed of 100 g · L^-1 each of glucose and fructose was possible at high dilution rates. Kinetic parameters describing the reaction rate of treated cells in batch reactors were used to analyse the performance of the hollow fibre membrane reactor employing significant convective mass transfer. No significant mass transfer limitation was apparent.     

Continuous ethanol production by flocculating yeast in the fluidized bed bioreactor

Abstract: Continuous fermentation by a highly flocculant strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was carried out in a tower fluidized-bed bioreactor. The synthetic and molasses media with a total sugar concentration of 17% (w/v) were used for fermentation. Different dilution rates were tested. Stable cell densities of 50 kg m^-3(dry weight) were maintained for all dilution rates. The ethanol productivity was increasing linearly with dilution rates up to 15—20 kg m^-3 h^-1. Aeration of the culture stabilized flocculating activity and viability of yeast and also permitted long-term operation of the bioreactor.
