In this study, the yeast strain P5 isolated from a mangrove system was identified to be a strain of Aureobasidium pullulans var. melanogenum and was found to be able to secrete a large amount of heavy oil into medium. After optimization of the medium for heavy oil production and cell growth by the yeast strain P5, it was found that 120.0 g/l of glucose and 0.1 % corn steep liquor were the most suitable for heavy oil production. During 10-l fermentation, the yeast strain P5 produced 32.5 g/l of heavy oil and cell mass was 23.0 g/l within 168 h. The secreted heavy oils contained 66.15 % of the long-chain n-alkanes and 26.4 % of the fatty acids, whereas the compositions of the fatty acids in the yeast cells were only C16:0 (21.2 %), C16:1(2.8 %), C18:0 (2.9 %), C18:1 (39.8 %), and C18:2 (33.3 %). We think that the secreted heavy oils may be used as a new source of petroleum in marine environments. This is the first report of yeast cells which can secrete the long-chain n-alkanes. 相似文献

Spent coffee grounds (SCG), an important waste product of the coffee industry, contain approximately 15 wt% of coffee oil. The aim of this work was to investigate the utilization of oil extracted from SCG as a substrate for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by Cupriavidus necator H16. When compared to other waste/inexpensive oils, the utilization of coffee oil resulted in the highest biomass as well as PHB yields. Since the correlation of PHB yields and the acid value of oil indicated a positive effect of the presence of free fatty acids in oil on PHB production (correlation coefficient R 2?=?0.9058), superior properties of coffee oil can be probably attributed to the high content of free fatty acids which can be simply utilized by the bacteria culture. Employing the fed-batch mode of cultivation, the PHB yields, the PHB content in biomass, the volumetric productivity, and the Y P/S yield coefficient reached 49.4 g/l, 89.1 wt%, 1.33 g/(l h), and 0.82 g per g of oil, respectively. SCG are annually produced worldwide in extensive amounts and are disposed as solid waste. Hence, the utilization of coffee oil extracted from SCG is likely to improve significantly the economic aspects of PHB production. Moreover, since oil extraction decreased the calorific value of SCG by only about 9 % (from 19.61 to 17.86 MJ/kg), residual SCG after oil extraction can be used as fuel to at least partially cover heat and energy demands of fermentation, which should even improve the economic feasibility of the process. 相似文献

A novel Acinetobacter strain, Ud-4, possessing a strong capacity to degrade edible, lubricating, and heavy oil was isolated from seawater in a
fishing port located in Toyama, Japan. It was identified by morphological and physiological analyses and 16S rDNA sequencing.
This strain could utilize five types of edible oils (canola oil, olive oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, and lard), lubricating
oil, and C-heavy oil as the sole carbon source for growth in M9 medium. The strain grew well and heavily degraded edible oils
in Luria–Bertani medium during a 7-day culture at 25°C; it also degraded all kinds of oils in artificial seawater medium for
marine bacteria. Furthermore, this strain was capable of degrading almost all C10–C25 n-alkanes in C-heavy oil during a 4-week culture. Oligonucleotide primers specific to two catabolic genes involved in the degradation
of n-alkanes (Acinetobacter sp. alkM) and triglyceride (Acinetobacter sp. lipA) allowed amplification of these genes in strain Ud-4. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation of a bacterium
that can efficiently degrade both edible and mineral oils. 相似文献

Aerobic production of rhamnolipid by Pseudomonas aeruginosa was extensively studied. But effect of medium composition on anaerobic production of rhamnolipid by P. aeruginosa was unknown. A simplifying medium facilitating anaerobic production of rhamnolipid is urgently needed for in situ microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). Medium factors affecting anaerobic production of rhamnolipid were investigated using P. aeruginosa SG (Genbank accession number KJ995745). Medium composition for anaerobic production of rhamnolipid by P. aeruginosa is different from that for aerobic production of rhamnolipid. Both hydrophobic substrate and organic nitrogen inhibited rhamnolipid production under anaerobic conditions. Glycerol and nitrate were the best carbon and nitrogen source. The commonly used N limitation under aerobic conditions was not conducive to rhamnolipid production under anaerobic conditions because the initial cell growth demanded enough nitrate for anaerobic respiration. But rhamnolipid was also fast accumulated under nitrogen starvation conditions. Sufficient phosphate was needed for anaerobic production of rhamnolipid. SO4 2? and Mg2+ are required for anaerobic production of rhamnolipid. Results will contribute to isolation bacteria strains which can anaerobically produce rhamnolipid and medium optimization for anaerobic production of rhamnolipid. Based on medium optimization by response surface methodology and ions composition of reservoir formation water, a simplifying medium containing 70.3 g/l glycerol, 5.25 g/l NaNO3, 5.49 g/l KH2PO4, 6.9 g/l K2HPO4·3H2O and 0.40 g/l MgSO4 was designed. Using the simplifying medium, 630 mg/l of rhamnolipid was produced by SG, and the anaerobic culture emulsified crude oil to EI24 = 82.5 %. The simplifying medium was promising for in situ MEOR applications. 相似文献

Biodegradation of crude oil components by strain AGS10, an acidophilic member of the genus Mycobacterium, was studied under extremely acidic conditions (pH 2.5). The degree of degradation of the same hydrocarbons in different kinds of oil was found to be different. The direction of biodegradation was, however, the same: the share of n-alkanes in oxidized oil decreased, while the share of branched alkanes increased. At the same time, the degree of redistribution of methane hydrocarbons in degraded oil varied significantly for different oils, although no strict dependence on the type of oil was found. After 28 days of incubation at 30°C and pH 2.5, the degradation of n- and iso-alkanes was 99 and 44%, respectively for the light, low-viscosity oil of the Nizhnevartovsk deposit, 58 and 32%, respectively for the medium-density oil of the Moscow oil-procesing plant, and 80 and 16% and 99 and 69%, respectively for the heavy, viscous oils of the Cheremukhovskoe and Usinkoye oil fields. Moreover, after extended cultivation time strain AGS10 completely utilized alkanes, as well as a significant part of the naphthene component of the aliphatic fraction. The studied strain was characterized by ability to oxidize a broad spectrum of methane hydrocarbons, including high-molecular C17–C30n-alkanes, in oils of different properties and composition. Apart from its scientific interest, farther investigation of biodegradation of high-paraffin oils and viscous oils with elevated paraffin content by strain AGS10 may be useful in view of the technical issues associated with paraffin accumulation in the course of recovery and transportation of these oils. 相似文献

An efficient in vitro protocol for large-scale multiplication of Nepenthes khasiana, a threatened insectivorous plant of India, has been developed from nodal stem segments. The highest shoot proliferation of 19.16 ± 0.23 shoots/explant was recorded in half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.5 mg/l kinetin, 2.0 mg/l 6-benzyl aminopurine, 3 % sucrose and 0.8 % agar. The best rooting was achieved in half-strength MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l α-naphthalene acetic acid with an average of 9.04 ± 0.46 roots/shoot. The plantlets were successfully transferred to the greenhouse with survival rate of 92 %, exhibiting normal development. Cytological and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses were carried out to assess the genetic integrity of the regenerated plantlets. Cytological analysis revealed no change in chromosome number with cells studied showing 2n = 80. Of the 80 primers screened for RAPD analysis, 14 primers resulted in clear and scorable bands. A total of 72 amplification products were obtained out of which only 4.1 % bands were polymorphic. Cluster analysis of the RAPD profile revealed an average similarity coefficient ranging from 0.98 to 1.0, thus suggesting genetic stability in the micropropagated plants of N. khasiana. 相似文献

We describe the preliminary extractions from a pilot-scale supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extractor for the isolation of algal lipids suitable for small-scale conversion to liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Flowable oils were recovered from SC-CO2 extractions of lyophilized Nannochloropsis granulata. The extracted oils were determined to be composed primarily of triacylglycerols (TAG) by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis. Gravimetric lipid yield was increased significantly from 15.56 to 28.45 mg g?1 ash-free dry weight (AFDW) with an increase in temperature from 50°C to 70°C, at 35 MPa over 270 min. Varying pressure had no significant effect on lipid yield. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of the SC-SO2 extracts indicated that the TAG profile remained constant regardless of extraction pressure, and analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) revealed a uniform profile throughout all extraction conditions. Our optimized gravimetric lipid yields from N. granulata (28.45 mg g?1 AFDW) were approximately half of the yields obtained by Soxhlet extraction with hexane (57.53 mg g?1 AFDW); however, the FAME yields were similar regardless of extraction technique (18.23 mg FAME g?1 and 17.35 mg FAME g?1 AFDW from SC-CO2 extraction and hexane extraction, respectively). Further extractions with Botryococcus braunii indicated that fatty acid extraction by SC-CO2 was as efficient as hexane extraction. These results highlight the suitability of SC-CO2 for large-scale oil extraction of microalgae for biofuel or biojet analyses due to its selectivity for TAG extraction. 相似文献

The growth of batch-cultivated yeast Candida lipolytica on three kinds of gas oil using mineral medium was studied. A linear dependence was found between the production of yeast biomass and the consumption of n-alkanes, while the decrease of freezing point of gas oil during cultivation had a distinct course. This disproportion was explained by different degradation of individual n-alkanes contained in gas oil. The rate of degradation of pentadecane, hexadecane, and heptadecane was the same during the entire cultivation. On the contrary, in the first phase the utilization of shorter chain n-alkanes, nonane to tetradecane, was more rapid while that of longer chain homologs, octadecane to pentacosane, lagged. Rapid utilization of longer chain n-alkanes did not occur before the concentration of the other n-alkanes decreased. Only then the rapid decrease of freezing point appeared. 相似文献

Oil biodegradation studies have mainly focused on microbial processes in dispersions, not specifically on the interfaces between the oil and the seawater in the dispersions. In this study, a hydrophobic adsorbent system, consisting of Fluortex fabrics, was used to investigate biodegradation of n-alkanes and microbial communities on oil–seawater interfaces in natural non-amended seawater. The study was performed over a temperature range from 0 to 20 °C, to determine how temperature affected biodegradation at the oil–seawater interfaces. Biodegradation of n-alkanes were influenced both by seawater temperature and chain-length. Biotransformation rates of n-alkanes decreased by reduced seawater temperature. Low rate coefficients at a seawater temperature of 0 °C were probably associated with changes in physical–chemical properties of alkanes. The primary bacterial colonization of the interfaces was predominated by the family Oceanospirillaceae at all temperatures, demonstrating the wide temperature range of these hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria. The mesophilic genus Oleibacter was predominant at the seawater temperature of 20 °C, and the psychrophilic genus Oleispira at 5 and 0 °C. Upon completion of n-alkane biotransformation, other oil-degrading and heterotrophic bacteria became abundant, including Piscirickettsiaceae (Cycloclasticus), Colwelliaceae (Colwellia), Altermonadaceae (Altermonas), and Rhodobacteraceae. This is one of a few studies that describe the biodegradation of oil, and the microbial communities associated with the degradation, directly at the oil–seawater interfaces over a large temperature interval. 相似文献

Biosurfactant-producing bacteria were isolated from various sources in the south of Thailand. Isolates were screened for biosurfactant production using jackfruit seed powder (JSP) as a novel and promising substrate. The highest biosurfactant activity was obtained with a bacterial strain which was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Deinococcus caeni PO5. D. caeni PO5 was able to grow and reduce the surface tension of the culture supernatant from 67.0 to 25.0 mN/m after 87 h of cultivation when 40 g/l of JSP and 1 g/l of commercial monosodium glutamate were used as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The biosurfactant obtained by ethyl acetate extraction showed high surface tension reduction (47.0 mN/m), a small critical micelle concentration value (8 mg/l), thermal and pH stability with respect to surface tension reduction and emulsification activity, and a high level of salt tolerance. Chemical characterization by biochemical testing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectra revealed that the obtained biosurfactant was a glycolipid-type biosurfactant. The obtained biosurfactant was capable of forming stable emulsions with various hydrocarbons and had the ability to enhance oil recovery, the solubility of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metal removal, and antimicrobial activity. 相似文献

Structure and dynamics of the colloidal dispersions in veiled virgin olive oil (VVOO), the fresh olive juice, were for the first time investigated with different scattering techniques and related to the extraction conditions applied by the olive oil producers. VVOO samples were produced with either the three-phase extraction procedure (oil/externally added water) at different malaxation times, or by the dual-phase extraction procedure (no externally added water). Static light scattering (Small angle light scattering apparatus SALSA), dynamic light scattering, based on a 3D cross-correlation system, a flat cell and a red HeNe-Laser with 632,8 nm wavelength (3D-DLS), classical dynamic light scattering using a goniometer with cylindrical cells and a green laser with 532 nm wavelength, (Green-DLS), and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), are the scattering techniques that were used for the analysis of the samples. In addition, samples of VVOO were analyzed with a confocal microscope. SAXS technique gave almost the same results for all the samples of VVOO indicating comparable nano-structure due to the triglyceride backbone. When 3D-DLS and Green DLS were applied to the VVOO samples, quite different results were obtained. In addition, from the microscopic study of the VVOO samples discrete droplets but no anisotropic crystals could be observed. Finally, radical scavenging activity measurements applying Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy showed that the antioxidant capacity of the veiled VVO was higher than the one of the filtered oils. Between the two oil extraction systems the dual phase one seems to be more appropriate for the production of stable and rich in minor constituents olive oils. 相似文献

The six biosurfactant-producing strains, isolated from oilfield wastewater in Daqing oilfield, were screened. The production of biosurfactant was verified by measuring the diameter of the oil spreading, measuring the surface tension value and emulsifying capacity against xylene, n-pentane, kerosene and crude oil. The experimental result showed three strains (S2, S3, S6) had the better surface activity. Among the three strains, the best results were achieved when using S2 strain. The diameter of the oil spreading of the biosurfactant produced by S2 strain was 14 cm, its critical micelle concentration (CMC) was 21.8 mg/l and the interfacial tension between crude oil and biosurfactant solution produced by S2 strain reduced to 25.7 mN/m. The biosurfactant produced by S2 strain was capable of forming stable emulsions with various hydrocarbons, such as xylene, n-pentane, kerosene and crude oil. After S2 strain treatment, the reduction rate of oil viscosity was 51 % and oil freezing point reduced by 4 °C. 相似文献

Biodegradation of long chain n-alkanes and crude oil with fast rate and high concentration are desirable for bioremediation, especially in heavily oil-polluted areas, and enhanced oil recovery. We discovered Rhodococcus sp. Moj-3449 with such unique abilities by screening microorganisms for the growth on n-hexadecane at 30 mg/mL. The new strain grew very fast on 120 mg/mL of n-hexadecane giving a cell density of 14.7 g cdw/L after only 2 days’ incubation. During the growth with this strain, the oil–water phases were rapidly emulsified, giving rise to tolerance to high alkane concentration (250 mg/mL) and fast growth rate of 0.10–0.20 h?1 for alkane concentration of 1–180 mg/mL. The degraded concentration of n-hexadecane increased linearly with the initial alkane concentration (1–250 mg/mL). Incubation on n-hexadecane at 250 mg/mL for 7 days gave a cell density of 13.5 g cdw/L and degraded 124 mg/mL of n-hexadecane. The strain grew also fast on n-dodecane (C12), n-tetradecane (C14), and n-octadecane (C18), with degradation preference of C14 (=C16) > C12 > C18. Different from many alkane-degrading strains, Rhodococcus sp. Moj-3449 was found to have subterminal oxidation pathway. Rhodococcus sp. Moj-3449 degraded also crude oil fast at 60–250 mg/mL, with a wide range of n-alkanes (C10–C35) as substrates in which C14–C19 are preferred. The degradation ability increased with initial oil concentration from 60 to 150 mg/mL and slightly decreased afterwards. Incubation on 150 mg/mL of crude oil for 7 days degraded 37% of n-alkanes. The outstanding ability of rapidly degrading long chain n-alkanes and crude oil at high concentration makes Rhodococcus sp. Moj-3449 potentially useful for bioremediation and microbial enhanced oil recovery. 相似文献

The present study describes the enhanced production and purification of lovastatin by Aspergillus terreus in submerged batch fermentation. The enhancement of lovastatin production from A. terreus was attempted by random mutagenesis using ultraviolet radiations and nitrous acid. UV mutants exhibited increased efficiency for lovastatin production as compared with nitrous acid mutants. Among all the mutants developed, A. terreus UV-4 was found to be the hyper producer of lovastatin. This mutant gave 3.5-fold higher lovastatin production than the wild culture of A. terreus NRRL 265. Various cultural conditions were also optimized for hyper-producing mutant strain. 5 % glucose as carbon source, 1.5 % corn steep liquor as nitrogen source, initial pH value of 6, 120 h of incubation period, and 28 °C of incubation temperature were found as best parameters for higher lovastatin production in shake flasks. Production of lovastatin by wild and mutant strains of A. terreus was also scaled up to laboratory scale fermentor. The fermentation process was conducted at 28 °C, 200 rpm agitation, and 1vvm air flow rate without pH control. After the optimization of cultural conditions in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and scaling up to laboratory scale fermentor, the mutant A. terreus UV-4 gave eightfold higher lovastatin production (3249.95 μg/ml) than its production by wild strain in shake flasks. Purification of lovastatin was carried out by solvent extraction method which yielded 977.1 mg/l of lovastatin with 98.99 % chromatographic purity and 26.76 % recovery. The crystal structure of lovastatin was determined using X-ray diffraction analysis which is first ever reported. 相似文献

Over 20 new strains of methane-utilizing bacteria were isolated from lake water and soil samples. Cell suspensions of these and of other known strains of methane-utilizing bacteria oxidized n-alkanes (propane, butane, pentane, hexane) to their corresponding secondary alcohols (2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, 2-hexanol). The product secondary alcohols accumulated extracellularly. The rate of production of secondary alcohols varied with the organism used for oxidation. The average rate of 2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, and 2-hexanol production was 1.5, 1.0, 0.15, and 0.08 μmol/h per 5.0 mg of protein in cell suspensions, respectively. Secondary alcohols were slowly oxidized further to the corresponding methylketones. Primary alcohols and aldehydes were also detected in low amounts (rate of production were 0.05 to 0.08 μmol/h per 5.0 mg of protein in cell suspensions) as products of n-alkane (propane and butane) oxidation. However, primary alcohols and aldehydes were rapidly metabolized further by cell suspensions. Methanol-grown cells of methane-utilizing bacteria did not oxidize n-alkanes to their corresponding secondary alcohols, indicating that the enzymatic system required for oxidation of n-alkanes was induced only during growth on methane. The optimal conditions for in vivo secondary alcohol formation from n-alkanes were investigated in Methylosinus sp. (CRL-15). The rate of 2-propanol and 2-butanol production was linear for the 40-min incubation period and increased directly with cell protein concentration up to 12 mg/ml. The optimal temperature and pH for the production of 2-propanol and 2-butanol were 40°C and pH 7.0. Metalchelating agents inhibited the production of secondary alcohols. The activities for the hydroxylation of n-alkanes in various methylotrophic bacteria were localized in the cell-free particulate fractions precipitated by centrifugation between 10,000 and 40,000 × g. Both oxygen and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide were required for hydroxylation activity. The metal-chelating agents inhibited hydroxylation of n-alkanes by the particulate fraction, indicating the involvement of a metal-containing enzyme system in the oxidation of n-alkanes. The production of 2-propanol from the corresponding n-alkane by the particulate fraction was inhibited in the presence of methane, suggesting that the subterminal hydroxylation of n-alkanes may be catalyzed by methane monooxygenase. 相似文献

Subcritical water (SCW) has been widely studied for its unique properties both as catalyst and solvent in various chemical processes. The use of SCW to pretreat agricultural products and waste has been extensively studied for producing fermentable sugars. In this study, SCW pretreatment was carried out to increase and/or improve the extractability of oils from oil seeds like Datura stramonium, Jatropha curcas, and sunflower seeds. SCW pretreatment of D. stramonium seeds resulted in 50 % increase of oil yield (from 17.16 to 28.25 %). Although negligible increases were observed from both J. curcas and sunflower seeds, SCW pretreatment allowed full extraction of the oils without grinding and/or dehulling of the seeds. This pretreatment process caused insignificant changes in the composition and quality of the oils extracted. Efficient SCW treatment can be accomplished under mild conditions (175 °C, 3.5 MPa) in a short time (15 min). 相似文献

Eleven strains of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria, isolated from oilfields and representing the genera Rhodococcus, Gordonia, Dietzia, and Pseudomonas, were characterized as mesophiles and neutrophiles. Rhodococci were halotolerant microorganisms growing in a media containing up to 15% NaCl. All the strains oxidized n-alkanes of crude oil. An influence of the cultivation temperatures (28 or 45°C) and organic supplements on the degradation of C12-C30 n-alkanes in oxidized oil by two bacterial strains of the genus Pseudomonas was shown. The introduction of acetate, propionate, butyrate, ethanol, and sucrose led mainly to decreased oxidation of petroleum paraffins. At certain cultivation temperatures, the addition of volatile fatty acid salts increased the content of certain n-alkanes in oxidized oil as compared to crude oil. 相似文献

Pseudoalteromone A (PA) is a cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory ubiquinone discovered recently from a marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. CGH2XX. In order to meet its sample supply for further in vivo pharmacological investigation, an efficient method was developed for the preparation of PA by combination of response surface methodology (RSM) and high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) from marine bacterium P. rubra QD1-2. First, optimization of culture conditions was studied by the RSM to enhance PA production. The results indicated that the optimal cultivation condition was peptone (2.21 g/l), yeast extract (3.125 g/l), glucose (0.125 g/l), KBr (0.02 g/l), inoculum size (6.5 %), medium volume (595 ml), initial pH value (7.0), temperature (28 °C). Under the optimized fermentation condition, PA production was 1.04 mg/l with 14.8-fold increase comparing to 0.07 mg/l under original standard fermentation condition. The PA production was further investigated using a 14-l jar fermenter. Compared to the flask culture, P. rubra QD1-2 offered 45 % increase of PA production at 1.51 mg/l. Then, a rapid and efficient method for the separation and purification of PA from crude culture extract was developed using HSCCC. The two-phase solvent system used for HSCCC separation was composed of n-hexane–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (5:5:9:5, v/v/v/v). The isolation was accomplished within 100 min, and the purity of PA was over 95 %. The recovery of the process was 93 %. 相似文献

Some of the key reasons for why the production of biofuels from microalgae have not yet succeeded as a source of sustainable transport fuel are the costs involved and the amount of energy needed to obtain the oils compared to the energy contained in the final fuel. The key energy costs are in the dewatering of biomass followed by extraction of the oil, disposal of biomass, and the energy content of the nutrient fertiliser needed for regrowing the algae. In this study, we bypass all of these barriers by using a different approach towards cutting energy and fertiliser costs in the production of biofuels from microalgae—rather than growing the algae in the presence of fertilisers such as N and P, followed by harvesting the whole algae cells, and the energetically costly drying of cells and extraction of the fuel from the cells, this process makes use of the natural tendency of the green alga, Botryococcus braunii to release oils from the cell into the extracellular matrix during and after growth. Here, we non-destructively and repeatedly harvest the external oil (hydrocarbons) from B. braunii CCAP 807/2. Extraction with several solvents showed that hexane was not compatible with B. braunii, but that heptane in contact with B. braunii for less than 20 min did not negatively affect this alga. As an alternative, solvent-free method, we tested physical methods of extracting the extracellular oil. Light and temperature did not affect the extraction of the external oil from Botryococcus, but gentle pressure (i.e. ‘blotting’) was an effective method for external oil recovery. Less than 1 h of blotting also did not affect the physiology of Botryococcus. Both the heptane extraction and the non-destructive ‘blotting’ methods had no significant effect on growth and photosynthesis (F v/F m, ETRmax) of B. braunii. Our results indicate that over a period of 6 days, we can repeatedly extract over 35 % (using heptane) and 1 % (using ‘blotting’) of the total oil, mainly in the form of external hydrocarbon in stationary phase cells without damage to the cells. 相似文献

Effects of vanillin, quillaja saponin, and essential oils on in vitro fermentation and protein-degrading microorganisms of the rumen 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study investigated the effects of vanillin on methanogenesis and rumen fermentation, and the responses of ruminal protein-degrading bacteria to vanillin (at concentrations of 0, 0.76 and 1.52 g/L), essential oils (clove oil, 1 g/L; origanum oil, 0.50 g/L, and peppermint oil, 1 g/L), and quillaja saponin (at concentration of 0 and 6 g/L) in vitro. Methane production, degradabilities of feed substrate, and ammonia concentration decreased linearly with increasing doses of vanillin. Concentration of total volatile fatty acids also decreased, whereas proportion of butyrate tended to increase linearly with increasing doses of vanillin. Protozoa population decreased, but abundances of Ruminococcus flavefaciens, Prevotella bryantii, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Prevotella ruminicola, Clostridium aminophilum, and Ruminobacter amylophilus increased with increasing doses of vanillin. Origanum and clove oils resulted in lower ammonia concentrations compared to control and peppermint oil. All the tested essential oils decreased abundances of protozoa, Selenomonas ruminantium, R. amylophilus, P. ruminicola and P. bryantii, with the largest decrease resulted from origanum oil followed by clove oil and peppermint oil. The abundances of Megasphaera elsdenii, C. aminophilum, and Clostridium sticklandii were deceased by origanum oil while that of B. fibrisolvens was lowered by both origanum and clove oils. Saponin decreased ammonia concentration and protozoal population, but increased the abundances of S. ruminantium, R. amylophilus, P. ruminicola, and P. bryantii, though the magnitude was small (less than one log unit). The results suggest that reduction of ammonia production by vanillin and saponin may not be caused by direct inhibition of major known proteolytic bacteria, and essential oils can have different inhibitory effects on different proteolytic bacteria, resulting in varying reduction in ammonia production. 相似文献
