The ability of oxygen vector to extract produced carbon dioxide has been tested in an anaerobic fermentation. During the continuous culture of Clostridium acetobutylicum at pH 4.6 and at a dilution rate of 0.124 h–1, a feed composed of an emulsion of 18.5% by volume of Forane F66E was able to extract about 9% of the total CO2 produced under CO2 partial pressure equal to 0.42 atm. A theoretical evaluation of the extracted amount, based on the hypothesis of total saturation of the vector by carbon dioxide, has lead to very good agreement.List of Symbols [AA] g/l acetic acid concentration - [BA] g/l butyric acid concentration - D 1/h Q w /V dilution rate - [ETH] g/l ethanol concentration - H w Henry constant of CO2 for water at 37°C (=23.91 mmol/(l atm)) - H F Henry constant of CO2 for Forane at 37°C (=83.4 mmol/(l atm)) - H i g/mol molar mass of componenti - P i atm partial pressure of gasi - W w l/h aqueous flow - Qf 1/h Forane flow - mmol/(lh) dissolved CO2 flow in aqueous effluent - mmol/(lh) CO2 gas flow - mmol/(lh) CO2 gas flow without Forane - mmol/(lh) CO2 gas flow with Forane - mmol/(lh) total CO2 production - r X g/(lh) biomass production rate - r G mmol/(lh) total gas flow - mmol/(lh) hydrogen production - mmol/(lh) nitrogen flow - r S mmol/(lh) glucose input - V 1 fermentor volume  相似文献

Summary In animals with fur or feather coats, heat gain from solar radiation is a function of coat optical, structural, and insulative characteristics, as well as skin color and the optical properties of individual hairs or feathers. In this analysis, I explore the roles of these factors in determining solar heat gain in two desert rodents (the Harris antelope squirrel,Ammospermophilus harrisi, and the round-tailed ground squirrel,Spermophilus tereticaudus). Both species are characterized by black dorsal skin, though they contrast markedly in their general coat thickness and structure. Results demonstrate that changes in coat structure and hair optics can produce differences of up to 40% in solar heat gain between animals of similar color. This analysis also confirms that the model of Walsberg et al. (1978) accurately predicts radiative heat loads within about 5% in most cases. Simulations using this model indicate that dark skin coloration increases solar heat gain by 5%. However, dark skin significantly reduces ultraviolet transmission to levels about one-sixth of those of the lighter ventral skin.Symbols and abbreviations: (unless noted, all radiation relations refer to total solar radiation) absorptivity of individual hairs - C absorptivity of the coat - backward scattering coefficient [reflectivity] of individual hairs - C reflectivity of coat - S reflectivity of skin - forward scattering coefficient [transmissivity] of individual hairs - C transmissivity of coat - S transmissivity of the skin - transmissivity of the coat and skin - transmissivity of the coat to ultraviolet radiation - S transmissivity of the skin to ultraviolet radiation - [(1 – )22] - h C coat thermal conductance [W/m2-°C] - h E coat surface-to-environment thermal conductance [W/m2-°C] - I probability per unit coat depth that a ray will be intercepted by a hair [m–1] - K volumetric specific heat of air at 20°C [1200 J/m3-°C] - l C coat thickness [m] - l H hair length [m] - d hair diameter [m] - n hair density per unit skin area (m–2] - Q ABS heat load on animal's skin from solar radiation [W/m2] - Q I solar irradiance at coat surface [W/m2] - r E external resistance to convective and radiative heat transfer [s/m] - r C coat thermal resistance [s/m]  相似文献

A simple mathematical model for the interaction of mass transport with biochemical reaction in solid state fermentations (SSF) in static tray type bioreactors under isothermal conditions has been developed. The analysis has enabled scientific explanations to a number of practical observations, through the concept of critical substrate bed thickness. The model will be most useful in the prediction of the concentration gradients as also in efficient design of these bioreactors.List of Symbols C g/cm3 Oxygen concentration in the bed - C g g/cm3 Atmospheric oxygen concentration - C * Dimensionless oxygen concentration, C/C g - D e cm2/h Effective diffusivity - H cm Bed thickness or height - H c cm Critical bed thickness or height - H m cm Maximum height of zone of zero oxygen concentration - p i mg/(g · h) Productivity (Eq. 13) - R g/(cm3 · h) Biochemical reaction rate - t h Fermentation time - t * Dimensionless time, D e t/H2 - X mg/cm3 Biomass concentration - X max mg/cm3 Maximum biomass concentration - y Dimensionless thickness or height, (y = z/H) - y cm Thickness of zone of zero oxygen concentration (Eq. 12) - Y Yield coefficient - z cm Bed thickness or height along tray axis - Bed void fraction - max h–1 Specific growth rate - Thiele modulus   相似文献

The possibility of solving the mass balances to a multiplicity of substrates within a CSTR in the presence of a chemical reaction following Michaelis-Menten kinetics using the assumption that the discrete distribution of said substrates is well approximated by an equivalent continuous distribution on the molecular weight is explored. The applicability of such reasoning is tested with a convenient numerical example. In addition to providing the limiting behavior of the discrete formulation as the number of homologous substrates increases, the continuous formulation yields in general simpler functional forms for the final distribution of substrates than the discrete counterpart due to the recursive nature of the solution in the latter case.List of Symbols C{N.

Summary A simple method is proposed for calculating oxygen pentration depth in immobilized cells by assuming zero order kinetics in the presence of several external oxygen transport resistances. Calculations indicate that typical penetration depths of oxygen for immobilized microbial cells are in the range of 50–200 and those for immobilized or encapsulated animal and plant tissue culture are about 500–1000 . Based on calculations, oxygen transport in microencapsulation and microcarriers for tissue cultures are not transport-limited, but a slight limitation is expected for those in a hollow fiber reactor.Nomenclature as specific area of a support (cm) - Bi Biot number - dimensionless - Cb oxygen concentration in the bulk liquid (mM) - C b C b * -Ccr (mM) - C b * bulk oxygen concentration in equilibrium with air (mM) - Ccr critical oxygen concentration (mM) - Cs oxygen concentration in the solid phase (mM) - dp diameter or thickness of a support (cm) - Deff effective diffusivity of oxygen in the solid phase (cm2/s) - km membrane permeability of oxygen (cm/s) - k m * Deff/m - kLaL liquid phase mass transfer rate coefficient (1/s) - ksas solid phase mass transfer rate coefficient (1/s) - (OUR)v volumetric oxygen uptake rate (mmol O2/l) - p geometry parameter, p=0 for slab, p=1 for cylinder, p=2 for sphere - Pd oxygen penetration depth (cm) - P d oxygen penetration depth in the absence of external diffusion limitation (cm) - Q volumetric oxygen uptake rate, (mmol O2/l·h) - specific oxygen uptake rate (mmol O2gm biomass (dry)·h) - r length coordinate (cm) - rc oxygen penetration depth for sphere (cm) - r c rc in the absence of external diffusion limitation (cm) - r c * oxygen penetration depth for cylinder (cm) - r c * r c * in the absence of external diffusion limitation (cm) - rcom combined mass transfer rate resistance (s) - rd location where Cs becomes zero or Ccr (cm) - ri radius of cylinder or sphere, half thickness of slab (cm) - Usg superficial gas velocity (cm/s) - X cell concentration (g/l) Greek letters Thiele modulus, dimensionless - L, s liquid and solid phase volume fraction, respectively, dimensionless - effectiveness factor On sabbatical leave from KAIST, Seoul, Korea  相似文献

Summary Liquid-phase volumetric oxygen transfer coefficients were evaluated in a bubble column containing yeast suspensions, using the instationary oxygen absorption method and a polarographic oxygen electrode. The electrode time lag was found to be independent of both the system studied and the operating conditions. The volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficients k L a could be reasonably predicted by calculating k L from the equation derived by Bhavaraju et al. or the empirical equation of Calderbank and Moo-Young and a from the experimental gas hold-up values.Nomenclature a Exponent in Eq.6 or specific gas-liquid interfacial area based on reactor volume m - b Exponent in Eq. 6 - C Constant in Eq 6 or oxygen concentration in the liquid phase g/ml - C * Equilibrium oxygen concentration g/ml - C 0 Oxygen concentration in the liquid phase at t=0 g/ml - C E Oxygen concentration as determined by the polarographic electrode g/ml - D B Bubble equivalent diameter mm - D l Oxygen diffusivity in the liquid phase m2/s - g Acceleration of gravity m/s2 - K Consistency index Pasn - K L Liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient m/s - n Power law exponent - Pe sw Peclet number based on bubble swarm velocity - S C Schmidt number - Sh Sherwood number - i Time s - U B Bubble rise velocity in infinite medium m/s - U g Superficial air velocity based on column cross-sectional area m/s - U sw Bubble swarm velocity defined by Eq.15 m/s - Y MSW Mass transfer coeficient correction factor for mobile interfaces in pseudo-plastic fluids Eq. 7 - Y MSW Mass transfer coefficient correction factor for immobile interface in pseudo-plastic fluids Eq. 8 Greek letters l Density of liquid g/ml - sus Density of unaerated suspension g/ml - wet cell Density of yeast wet cells g/ml - l Viscosity of the liquid Pas - app Apparent viscosity of power law fluid Pas - E Electrode time lag s - l Time lag due to resistance of the gas-liquid interface s - g Gas hold-up, volume fraction occupied by the gas phase - l Liquid hold-up - c Wet cell volume fraction  相似文献

Mixing-models applied to industrial batch bioreactors   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Mixing models for bioreactors on the basis of the tanks-in-series concept are presented and a suitable parameter-estimation method is introduced. The Monte-Carlo-optimization procedure with the inhomogeneity-curve included in the objective function is used. Results of the parameter optimization procedure are given for stirred-tank-bioreactors equipped with one and three Rushton turbines under aerated conditions. The model designed for the stirredtank with three Rushton turbines is capable to describe the mixing properties, while in case of the stirred-tank with one Rushton turbine the simulated radial circulation time does not correlate with the measured one.List of Symbols a 00...a XY coefficients in Eq.

Summary Three yeasts of the genus Candida (Candida intermedia, candida lipolytica and Candida tropicalis) were cultivated batchwise on three different carbon sources: glucose, acetate, and hexadecane. Growth curves, oxygen uptake rates, CO2 evolution rates and the amount of oxygen required for biomass production were determined. The data were compared and discussed from the point of maximum specific growth rate, maximum oxygen uptake rate, carbon conversion into CO2 and biomass, consumption of oxygen and available energy for cell synthesis. The results indicated a relationship between m m, Ys, YO, and for different carbon sources. YO and were in the same order of magnitude for acetate (0.58 and 0.38 respectively) and hexadecane (0.45 and 0.40 respectively). These values were remarkably lower than those for glucose (1.26 and 0.54 respectively).Symbols av e Available electrons per mol of substrate (dimensionless) - Eav Energy available per mol of substrate (dimensionless) - Cd Dissimilated carbon (%) - m Maximum specific rate of oxygen uptake (mMO2 h–1 g–1) - RQ CO2 evolved per O2 consumed - mol. wt.

A design equation for immobilized glucose isomerase (IGI) packed bed reactor is developed assuming enzyme deactivation and substrate protection. The developed equation is used to simulate the performance of the reactor at various temperatures (50–80 °C). Enzyme deactivation is significant at high temperature. Substrate protection showed to have significant effect in reducing enzyme deactivation and increasing the enzyme half-life. Factors affecting the optimum operating temperature are discussed. The optimum operating temperature is greatly influenced by the operating period and to a lesser extent with both initial glucose concentration and glucose conversion.Two modes of reactor operation are tested i.e., constant feed flow rate and constant conversion. Reactor operating at constant conversion is more productive than reactor operating at constant flow rate if the working temperature is higher than the optimum temperature. Although at lower temperatures than the optimum, the two modes of operation give the same result.List of Symbols a residual enzyme activity - E [mg/l] concentration of active enzyme - E a [kJ/mole] activation energy - E 0 [mg/l] initial concentration of active enzyme - k [Specific] kinetic parameter - k d [h–1] first order thermal deactivation rate constant - k e equilibrium constant - k m [mole/l] apparent Michaelis constant - k p [mole/l] Michaelis constant for product - k s [mole/l] Michaelis constant for substrate - k 0 [Specific] pre-exponential factor - Q [1/h] volumetric flow rate - ¯Q [1/h] average volumetric flow rate - R [kJ/mol·k] ideal gas constant - s [mole/l] apparent substrate concentration - s [mole/l] substrate concentration - s e [mole/l] substrate concentration at equilibrium - s 0 [mole/l] substrate concentration at reactor inlet - p [mole/l] product concentration - p e [mole/l] product concentration at equilibrium - P r [mole fructose/l·h] reactor productivity - T [k] temperature - t [h] time - t p [h] operating time - V [l] reactor volume - v [mole/l·h] reaction rate - v [mole/l] reaction rate under enzyme deactivation and substrate protection - v m [mole/l·h] maximum apparent reaction rate - v p [mole/l·h] maximum reaction rate for product - v s [mole/l·h] maximum reaction rate for substrate - x substrate fractional conversion - x e substrate fractional conversion at equilibrium Greek Symbols effectiveness factor - mean effectiveness factor - substrate protection factor - [h] residence time - [h] average residence time - 0 [h] initial residence time  相似文献

Dissolved oxygen tension and oxygen uptake rate are critical parameters in animal cell culture. However, only scarce information of such variables is available for insect cell culture. In this work, the effect of dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) and the utility of on-line oxygen uptake rate (OUR) measurements in monitoring Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cultures were determined. Sf9 cells were grown at constant dissolved oxygen tensions in the range of 0 to 30%. Sf9 metabolism was affected only at DOT below 10%, as no significant differences on specific growth rate, cell concentration, amino acid consumption/production nor carbohydrates consumption rates were found at DOT between 10 and 30%. The specific growth rate and specific oxygen uptake rate followed typical Monod kinetics with respect to DOT. The calculated max and max were 0.033 h-1 and 3.82×10-10 mole cell-1h-1, respectively, and the corresponding saturation constants were 1.91 and 1.57%, respectively. In all aerated cultures, lactate was consumed only after glucose and fructose had been exhausted. The yield of lactate increased with decreasing DOT. It is proposed, that an apparent DOT in non-instrumented cultures can be inferred from the lactate yield of bioreactors as a function of DOT. Such a concept, can be a useful and important tool for determining the average dissolved oxygen tension in non-instrumented cultures. It was shown that the dynamic behavior of OUR can be correlated with monosaccharide (fructose and glucose) depletion and viable cell concentration. Accordingly, OUR can have two important applications in insect cell culture: for on-line estimation of viable cells, and as a possible feed-back control variable in automatic strategies of nutrient addition.Abbreviations DOT Dissolved oxygen tension - OUR Oxygen uptake rate - specific oxygen uptake rate - specific growth rate - Xv viable cell concentration - CL, C*, and oxygen concentrations in liquid phase, in equilibrium with gas phase, and medium molar concentration, respectively - H Henry's constant - KLa volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient - PT total pressure - oxygen partial pressure - oxygen molar fraction - i discrete element  相似文献

A novel linear tetrasaccharide, Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, was isolated from partial acid hydrolysates of metabolically labeled poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans of murine teratocarcinoma cells. It was characterized by exo-glycosidase sequencing and by mild acid hydrolysis followed by identification of all partial cleavage products. The tetrasaccharide, and likewise labelled GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, resisted the action of endo--galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.103) fromE. freundii at a concentration of 125 mU/ml, while the isomeric, radioactive teratocarcinoma saccharides Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc and GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc were cleaved in the expected manner.Abbreviations WGA wheat germ agglutinin - BSA bovine serum albumin - [3H]GlcNAc1-4-GlcNAc1-4GlcNAcOL N,N,NN'-triacetylchitotriose reduced with NaB3H4  相似文献

Oxygen and shear stress are the key factors for enhanced glucan production with Schizophyllum commune. During batch cultivation control of or (specific oxygen uptake rate) was achieved by variation of the impeller speed. Biomass was modelled by using the carbon and oxygen balance derived from exhaust data. At mycel growth a of 0.042 h–1 presents just the border before oxygen limitation arises and is simultaneously the optimum operation condition for maximum glucan formation. Related to an overall cultivation time of 72 h a maximum of both productivity (4.3 kg m–3 d–1) and yield (13 kg m–3) were obtained.List of Symbols C kg m–3 concentration - k L a h –1 volume related oxygen transfer coefficient - K s mol m–3 substrate saturation constant - N rpm impeller speed - % oxygen partial pressure of the liquid phase - kg m–3h–1 oxygen uptake rate - h–1 specific oxygen uptake rate, kg O2 (kg biomass h)–1 - t h time - yield coefficient (biomass formed/oxygen consumed) Greek Symbols h–1 specific growth rate Indices O 2 oxygen - X biomass - L liquid phase - * gas/liquid interface - S substrate (glucose) Dedicated to the 65th birthday of Professor Fritz Wagner.This work was kindly supported in parts by B.

Summary Ion transport processes in the ileum of the lizard,Gallotia (=Lacerta) galloti was examined in vitro by measuring Na22 and Cl36 fluxes across short-circuited preparations.In Ringer-bicarbonate solution there was both a net sodium flux ( ) and a net chloride flux ( ) from mucosa to serosa. The inequality between and short-circuit current (I sc) suggests that part of the net sodium transport is the result of an electrically neutral transport mechanism or that another electrogenic mechanism opposite in sign is contributing to the short-circuit current.In the absence of sodium, the short-circuit current and net chloride flux were abolished. In the absence of chloride, the net sodium was reduced but not abolished and the short-circuit current was unchanged.From an analysis of the effects of the inhibitors furosemide, amiloride, disulfonic stilbene (DIDS) and acetazolamide, a plausible model was developed to explain the characteristics of these transports. It is proposed that the entry of sodium into the cell across the luminal membrane occurs by two pathways. Part occurs by the antiport Na+H+ and part by an electrogenic pathway. The entry of chloride is by the antiport ClHCO 3 .Symbols and abbreviations DIDS 4,4 diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid - G t tissue conductance - I sc short circuit current - m mucosal - PD potential difference - s serosal  相似文献

Summary A special temperature control system has been developed and applied to continuous measuring of the heat evolved during a fermentation process. In this system, the fermentation broth was overcooled by a given constant cooling water flow. The excess heat removed from the fermentor was then made up by an immersion electrical heater. The action of the temperature controller was precisely monitored as it varied in response to the amount of heat produced by the microbial activities.The technique was used for determining the heat evolution byEscherichia coli grown on glucose. The ratio between quantities of total heat release and total oxygen consumption has been determined to be 0.556 MJ/mol O2.The newly developed technique can be employed as an online sensor to monitor the microbial activities of either aerobic or anaerobic fermentation systems.Symbols Cc Heat capacity of cooling water (MJ/kg · °C) - Cp Heat capacity (MJ/kg · °C) - I Current of immersion heater (A) - K Constant in Equation (2) (h) - K Constant in Equation (13) (m3 · h · °C/MJ) - Qc Flow rate of cooling water (m3/h) - Heat of agitation (MJ/m3 · h) - Heat dissipated by the bubbling gas (MJ/m3 · h) - Heat removal by the action of controller (MJ/m3 · h) - Heat of fermentation (MJ/m3 · h) - Heat loss to the surroundings (MJ/m3 · h) - Qpass Constant average power dissipated by the immersion heater (MJ/m3 · h) - Fluctuating power dissipated by the immersion heater (MJ/m3 · h) - Power dissipated by the immersion heater (MJ/m3 · h) - T Temperature of fermentation broth (°C) - Constant average temperature of fermentation broth (°C) - Fluctuating temperature of fermentation broth (°C) - Ta Temperature of the ambient air (°C) - Tc Inlet temperature of cooling water (°C) - U1A1 Specific heat transfer coefficient for determination of heat loss to the surroundings (MJ/m3 · h · °C) - U2A2 Specific heat transfer coefficient for cooling surfaces (MJ/m3 · h · °C) - U3A3 Constant in Equation (16) (MJ/m3 · h · °C) - V Voltage of immersion heater (V) - VL Liquid volume (m3) - OUR Oxygen uptake rate (mol O2/m3 · h) Greek Letters Hfo The ratio between the total heat release and the total oxygen uptake (MJ/mol O2) - c Density of cooling water (kg/m3) - Time constant defined in Equation (6) (h) - iMiCpi Heat capacity of system components (fermentation broth + fermentor jar + stainless steel) (MJ/m3 · °C)  相似文献

To gain information on extended flight energetics, quasi-natural flight conditions imitating steady horizontal flight were set by combining the tetheredflight wind-tunnel method with the exhaustion-flight method. The bees were suspended from a two-component aerodynamic balance at different, near optimum body angle of attack and were allowed to choose their own speed: their body mass and body weight was determined before and after a flight; their speed, lift, wingbeat frequency and total flight time were measured throughout a flight. These values were used to determine thrust, resultant aerodynamic force (magnitude and tilting angle), Reynolds number, total flight distance and total flight impulse. Flights in which lift was body weight were mostly obtained. Bees, flown to complete exhausion, were refed with 5, 10, 15 or 20 l of a 1.28-mol·l-1 glucose solution (energy content w=18.5, 37.0, 55.5 or 74.0 J) and again flown to complete exhaustion at an ambient temperature of 25±1.5°C by a flight of known duration such that the calculation of absolute and relative metabolic power was possible. Mean body mass after exhaustion was 76.49±3.52 mg. During long term flights of 7.47–31.30 min similar changes in flight velocity, lift, thrust, aerodynamic force, wingbeat frequency and tilting angle took place, independent of the volume of feeding solution. After increasing rapidly within 15 s a more or less steady phase of 60–80% of total flight time, showing only a slight decrease, was followed by a steeper, more irregular decrease, finally reaching 0 within 20–30 s. In steady phases lift was nearly equal to resultant aerodynamic force; tilting angle was 79.8±4.0°, thrust to lift radio did not vary, thrust was 18.0±7.4% of lift, lift was somewhat higher/equal/lower than body mass in 61.3%, 16.1%, 22.6% of all totally analysable flights (n=31). The following parameters were varied as functions of volume of feeding solution (5–20 l in steps of 5 l) and energy content. (18.5–74.0 J in steps of 18.5 J): total flight time, velocity, total flight distance, mean lift, thrust, mean resultant aerodynamic force, tilting angle, total flight impulse, wingbeat frequency, metabolic power and metabolic power related to body mass, the latter related to empty, full and mean (=100 mg) body mass.

The absolute volume of biological objects is often estimated stereologically from an exhaustive set of systematic sections. The usual volume estimator is the sum of the section contents times the distance between sections. For systematic sectioning with a random start, it has been recently shown that is unbiased when m, the ratio between projected object length and section distance, is an integer number (Cruz-Orive 1985). As this quantity is no integer in the real world, we have explored the properties of in the general and realistic situation m . The unbiasedness of under appropriate sampling conditions is demonstrated for the arbitrary compact set in 3 dimensions by a rigorous proof. Exploration of further properties of for the general triaxial ellipsoid leads to a new class of non-elementary real functions with common formal structure which we denote as np-functions. The relative mean square error (CE 2) of in ellipsoids is an oscillating differentiable np-function, which reduces to the known result CE 2= 1/(5m 4) for integer m. As a biological example the absolute volumes of 10 left cardiac ventricles and their internal cavities were estimated from systematic sections. Monte Carlo simulation of replicated systematic sectioning is shown to be improved by using m instead of m . In agreement with the geometric model of ellipsoids with some added shape irregularities, mean empirical CE was proportional to m –1.36 and m–1.73 in the cardiac ventricle and its cavity. The considerable variance reduction by systematic sectioning is shown to be a geometric realization of the principle of antithetic variates.  相似文献

The value of Y kJ ranged from 3.1×10-3 to 5.0×10-3 g cells/kJ under light-limited conditions [ = 1.02.4%, = 065%; total pressure of gas (composed of CO2, O2 and N2)=1 atm]. In the light-limited environment, the algal specific growth rate deteriorated appreciably with the increase of . The deterioration accounts for the above range of Y kJ observed. The growth inhibition due to oxygen that was defined by subtracting from 1.0 the ratio of at given values of to that at = 0% extended from 0.07–0.30 (7–30%). However, glycolate could not be detected in the turbidostat culture. Isotopic experiments on the specific rate of 14CO2 uptake also revealed that the inhibition due to oxygen was from 22–38% when was varied from 0 to nearly 100%. These effects of oxygen were discussed, referring to the activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase that is inhibited competitively by oxygen.Non-Standard Abbreviations INH isonicotinic acid hydrazide - PPO 2,5-diphenyloxazole - DCMU 3-(-3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimetylurea - CA carbonic anhydrase - RuP2 ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate  相似文献

The construction of the horizontal rotating tubular bioreactor (HRTB) represents a combination of a thin-layer bioreactor and a biodisc reactor. The bioreactor was made of a plastic tube whose interior was divided by the O-ring shaped partition walls. For the investigation of mixing properties in HRTB the temperature step method was applied. The temperature change in the bioreactor as a response to a temperature step in the inlet flow was monitored by six Pt-100 sensors (t 90 response time 0.08 s and resolution 0.002 °C) which were connected with an interface unit and personal computer. Mixing properties of the bioreactor were modeled using the modified tank in series concept which divided the bioreactor into ideally mixed compartments. A mathematical mixing model with simple flow was developed according to the physical model of the compartments network and corresponding heat balances. Numerical integration of an established set of differential equations was done by the Runge-Kutt-Fehlberg method. The final mathematical model with simple flow contained four adjustable parameters (N1,Ni, F cr andF p ) and five fixed parameters.List of Symbols A u m2 inner surface of bioreactor's wall - A ui m2 i-th part of inner surface of bioreactor's wall - A v m2 outlet surface of bioreactor's wall - A vi m2 i-th part of outlet surface of bioreactor's wall - C p kJ kg–1 K–1 heat capacity of liquid - C pr kJ kg–1 K–1 heat capacity of bioreactor's wall - D h–1 dilution rate - E °C °C–1 h–1 error of mathematical model - F cr dm3s–1 circulation flow in the model - F p dm3 s–1 back flow in the model - F t dm3s–1 inlet flow in the bioreactor - I °C intensity of temperature step, the difference in temperature between the temperature of the inlet liquid flow and the temperature of liquid in the bioreactor before the temperature step - K1 Wm–2K–1 heat transfer coefficient between the liquid and bioreactor's wall - K2 Wm–2K–1 heat transfer coefficient between the bioreactor's wall and air - m s kg mass of bioreactor's wall - L m length of bioreactor - L k m wetted perimeter of bioreactor - n min–1 rotational speed of bioreactor - n s number of temperature sensors - N1 number of cascades - Ni number of compartments inside the cascade - Nu Nusselt number - Pr Prandtl number - r u m inner diameter of bioreactor - r v m outside diameter of bioreactor - Re Reynolds number - s(t) step function - t s time - T °C temperature - T c °C calculated temperature - T m °C measured temperature - T N1,Ni °C temperature of liquid in a defined compartment inside cascade - T N1,S °C temperature of defined part of bioreactor's wall - T S °C temperature of bioreactor's wall - T v °C temperature of liquid in bioreactor - T z °C temperature of surrounding air - V t dm3 volume of liquid in the bioreactor Greek Symbols kJm–1s–1 K–1 thermal conductivity of liquid in the bioreactor - kgm–3 density of liquid in the bioreactor - m2s–1 kinematic viscosity of liquid in the bioreactor Matrix Coefficient B - C - D - E B+C+D - G1 - G2 - G3 - A ui - A vi - Q 1 - Q 2 - Q 3   相似文献

Maximum submergence time of Canada geese was 18% of that of similarly sized Pekin ducks. Due to a smaller respiratory system volume the oxygen store of Canada geese was 82% of that of Pekin ducks, accounting for approximately 33% of the difference in underwater survival times. The respiratory properties and volume of the blood were similar in both species. Both species utilised approximately 79% of the respiratory oxygen store and 90% of the blood oxygen store. Therefore, most of the species difference in survival times was due to a less effective oxygen-conserving cardiovascular response (bradycardia, peripheral vasoconstriction) in Canada geese. Duck cardiac chronotropic sensitivity to hypoxia during submergence was twice that observed in geese. Furthermore, a lower hypoxic ventilatory response was observed in geese than in ducks. Density of monoamine varicosities in hindlimb artery walls was lower in geese than ducks. However, electrical stimulation of the hindlimb muscles did not cause ascending vasodilation during submergence in either species, perhaps due to higher levels of catecholamines in submerged geese. We conclude that the major difference between species is higher oxygen chemosensitivity in ducks which effects a much more rapid and efficacious oxygen-conserving response during forced submergence.Abbreviations ATPS · BTPS · STPD CNS central nervous system - EEG electroencephalogram - ECG electrocardiogram - EDTA ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - fractional oxygen concentration of inspired air - pre-immersion fractional concentration of oxygen in the respiratory system - pre-emersion fractional concentration of oxygen in the respiratory system - [Hb] haemoglobin concentration - Hct haematocrit - HR heart rate - M B body mass - M b brain mass - M h heart mass - partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood - partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood - SPG sucrose-potassium phosphate-glyoxylic acid - t d maximum underwater survival time - respiratory minute volume - V pl plasma volume - V rs respiratory system volume - accessible respiratory system oxygen store - total non-myoglobin-bound oxygen store - V tb blood volume - blood oxygen store  相似文献

To investigate, the effects of hydrostatic pressure on transmembrane signaling in cold-adapted marine fishes, we examined the high-affinity GTPase activity in two congeneric marine fishes, Sebastolobus alascanus and S. altivelis. In brain membranes there are two GTPase activities, one with a low K m and one with a high K m for GTP. The high-affinity GTPase activity, characteristic of the subunits of the guanine nucleotide binding protein pool, was stimulated by the A1 adenosine receptor agonists N 6(R-phenylisopropyl)adenosine and N 6-cyclopentyladenosine, and the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbamyl choline. Pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of the membranes for 2 h at 5°C prior to the GTPase assay decreased the basal GTPase activity 30–40% and abolished N 6 (R-phenylisopropyl)adenosine stimulation of GTP hydrolysis. Basal high-affinity hydrolysis of GTP, measured at 0.3 mol·1-1GTP, was stimulated 22% in both species by 340 atm pressure. At 340 atm pressure, the apparent K m of GTP is decreased approximately 10% in each of the species, and the V max values are increased 11 and 15.9% in S. alascanus and S. altivelis, respectively. The apparent volume changes associated with the decreased K m of GTP and the increased V max ranged from-7.0 to-9.9 ml·mol-1. Increased pressure markedly decreased the efficacy of N 6 (R-phenylisopropyl) adenosine, N 6-cylcopentyladenosine and carbamyl choline in stimulating GTPase activity. The effects of increased hydrostatic pressure on transmembrane signal transduction by the A1 adenosine receptor-inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein-adenylyl cyclase system may stem, at least in part, from pressure-increased GTP hydrolysis and the concomitant termination of inhibitory signal transduction.Abbreviations [3H] DPCPX 3H cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine - AppNHp 5-adenylylimidodiphosphate - cpm counts per minute - CPA N 6-cyclopentyladenosine - EDTA ethylenediaminetetra acetic acid - EGTA ethyleneglycol-bis (-aminoethylether) N, N, N, N-totra-acctic acid - G protein guanine nucleotide binding protein - Gi inhibitory G protein - Go other G protein, common in brain membranes - Gs stimulatory G protein - GTPase guanosine triphosphatase - K i inhibition constant - K m Michaelis constant - pK a log of the dissociation constant - R-PIA N 6 (R-phenylisopropyl) adenosine - TRIS tris[hydroxymethyl]aminomethane - Vmax maximal velocity - [-32P]GTP [-32P] guanosine 5-triphosphate (tetra (triethylammonium) salt)  相似文献
