We used a still-water swim channel in conjunction with open-flow oxygen and carbon dioxide respirometry to examine the energy
requirements of river-otters (Lutra lutra L.) swimming voluntarily underwater in Neumünster Zoo (Germany). While at rest on land (5 °C), river-otters had a respiratory
quotient of 0.77 and a resting metabolic rate of 4.1 W kg−1. This increased to an estimated 6.4 W kg−1 during rest in water (11–15 °C) and to 12.3 W kg−1 when the animals were feeding in the channel. River-otters swimming under water preferred a mean speed of 0.89 m s−1, and their energy requirements attained 11.6 W kg−1. Cost of transport, however, was minimal at 1.3 m s−1 and amounted to 0.95 J N−1 m−1.

In order to provide a better understanding of the dynamics of phytoplankton in the coastal regions of high latitudes, a study
was carried out to estimate the dynamics of carbon biomass of autotrophic and heterotrophic algal groups over the austral
spring-summer 1997/1998 period. At a fixed station located in the central basin (Paso Ancho) of the Straits of Magellan (53°S),
surface water samples were collected at least once a week from September 1997 (early spring) to March 1998 (late summer).
Quantitative analysis of biomass of phytoplankton was estimated from geometric volumes, using non-linear equations, and converted
to biomass. The pattern of chlorophyll a showed a strong temporal variability, with maximum values (mean 2.8 mg m−3) at the austral spring phytoplankton increase or bloom (October/November) and minimum values during early spring (September:
<0.5 mg m−3) and summer (January/March: 0.5–1.0 mg m−3). During the spring bloom, diatoms made up to 90% of the total phytoplankton carbon (0.01–189 μg l−1), followed by a maximum of thecate dinoflagellates (0.08–34 μg l−1), and sporadic high biomass of phytoflagellates during summer. Heterotrophic algal groups such as Gymnodinium and Gyrodinium spp. dominated (70%, in the 5- to 25-μm size range) shortly before the main diatom bloom, and small peaks were observed within
spring and early summer periods (0–0.4 μg l−1). Phytoflagellates dominated earlier (spring) with higher carbon biomass (8 μg l−1) and post-bloom periods (summer) when carbon biomass ranged between 1 and 4 μg l−1.

The use of untreated sea water supplemented with anaerobic effluents from digested pig waste and sodium bicarbonate was evaluated
as a low-cost medium for semi-continuous cultivation of a mixed culture of two Spirulina strains in outdoor raceways under temperate climatic conditions (pond temperature in the range 21–26 °C and light intensity
in the range 225–957␣μE m−2 s−1). The mixed culture had a predominant population (86.6 ± 3.9%) of an atypical Spirulina strain consisting of straight filaments, which appeared spontaneously after the strain with helicoidal trichomes had been
subcultured. Morphological studies for the identification of the type and size of trichomes of the two strains (HF and SF)
were carried out. The proportions of the two strains were observed to be stable during the monitoring period (30 days). Three
different sets of semicontinuous cultures were carried out. Sets 1 and 2 were operated under regime 1 (a single addition of
anaerobic effluents at time zero and no pH control) during the same season (June and July) of different years. Set 3 was operated
under regime 2 (semi-continuous addition of anaerobic effluents and pH control) during the autumn. A minimum productivity
of 3.6 g m−2 day−1 was obtained at one of the lowest temperatures (22.1 °C) and light intensities (245 μE m−2 s−1) and a maximum productivity of 10.9 g m−2 day−1 was observed at the highest temperature (25 °C) and highest average light intensity (618 μE m−2 s−1) registered for sets 1 and 2. The protein content in the Spirulina biomass harvested from these two sets varied from 17% to 65.6%. In set 3, a maximum productivity of 9.0 g m−2 day−1 was recorded at an average temperature of 24.4 °C and at an average light intensity of 668 μE m−2 s−1. The protein content in this set under regime 2 varied within a narrower range than in set 1 and set 2 (from 34.8% to 49.1%),
apparently because of a continuous availability of ammonia nitrogen at a level of 30–50 mg l−1. However, in terms of the removal of ammonia nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand, regime 1 was more efficient than regime␣2.

Inhibition of Clostridium butyricum by 1,3-propanediol and diols during glycerol fermentation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
1,3-Propanediol inhibition during glycerol fermentation to 1,3-propanediol by Clostridium butyricum CNCM 1211 has been studied. The initial concentration of the 1,3-propanediol affected the growth of the bacterium more than
the glycerol fermentation. μ
max was inversely proportional to the initial concentration of 1,3-propanediol (0–65 g l−1). For glycerol at 20 g l−1, the growth and fermentation were completely stopped at an initial 1,3-propanediol concentration of 65 g l−1. However, for an initial 1,3-propanediol concentration of 50 g l−1 and glycerol at 70 g l−1, the final concentration (initial and produced) of 1,3-propanediol reached 83.7 g l−1(1.1 M), with complete consumption of the glycerol. Therefore, during the fermentation, the strain tolerated a 1,3-propanediol
concentration higher than the initial inhibitory concentration (65 g l−1). The addition of 1,2-propanediol or 2,3-butanediol (50 g l−1) in the presence of glycerol (50–100 g l−1), showed that 2-diols reduced the μ
max in a similar way to 1,3-propanediol. The measurement of the osmotic pressure of glycerol solutions, diols and diol/glycerol
mixtures did not indicate any differences between these compounds. The hypothesis of diol inhibition was discussed. Taking
into account the strain tolerance of highly concentrated 1,3-propanediol during fermentation, the fermentation processes for
optimising production were considered.

Phycocyanin production by high cell density cultivation of Spirulina platensis in batch and fed-batch modes in 3.7-L bioreactors with a programmed stepwise increase in light intensity program was investigated.
The results showed that the cell density in fed-batch culture (10.2 g L−1) was 4.29-fold that in batch culture (2.38 g L−1), and the total phycocyanin production in the fed-batch culture (0.795 g L−1) was 3.05-fold that in the batch culture (0.261 g L−1). An unstructured kinetic model to describe the microalga culture system including cell growth, phycocyanin formation, as
well as glucose consumption was proposed. The data fitted the models well (r
2 > 0.99). Furthermore, based on the kinetic models, the potential effects of light limitation and photoinhibition on cell
growth and phycocyanin formation can be examined in depth. The models demonstrated that the optimal light intensity for mixotrophic
growth of Spirulina platensis in batch or fed-batch cultures using a 3.7-L bioreactor was 80160 μE m−2 s−1, and the stepwise increase in light intensity can be replaced by a constant light intensity mode.

Toluene vapour removal in a laboratory-scale biofilter 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A bench-scale biofilter with a 0.5-m high filter bed, inoculated with a toluene-degrading strain of Acinetobacter sp. NCIMB 9689, was used to study toluene removal from a synthetic waste air stream. Different sets of continuous tests were
conducted at influent toluene concentrations ranging over 0.1–4.0 g m−3 and at superficial gas velocities ranging over 17.8–255 m h−1. The maximum volumetric toluene removal rate for the biofilter (242 g m−3 h−1) was obtained at a superficial gas velocity of 127.5 m h−1 (corresponding to a residence time of 28 s) and a toluene inlet concentration of 4.0 g m−3. Under these operating conditions, toluene removal efficiency was only 0.238, which suggested that effective operation required
higher residence times. Removal efficiencies higher than 0.9 were achieved at organic loads less than 113.7 g m−3 h−1. A macro-kinetic study, performed using concentration profiles along the bioreactor, revealed this process was limited by
diffusion at organic loads less than 100 g m−3 h−1 and by biological reaction beyond this threshold.

Kinetic models for astaxanthin production by high cell density mixotrophic culture of the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
High cell density cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis for astaxanthin production was carried out in batch and fed-batch modes in 3.7-L bioreactors with stepwise increased light
intensity control mode. A high cell density of 2.65 g L−1 (batch culture) or 2.74 g L−1 (fed-batch culture) was obtained, and total astaxanthin production in the fed-batch culture (64.36 mg L−1) was about 20.5% higher than in the batch culture (53.43 mg L−1). An unstructured kinetic model to describe the microalga culture system including cell growth, astaxanthin formation, as
well as sodium acetate consumption was proposed. Good agreement was found between the model predictions and experimental data.
The models demonstrated that the optimal light intensity for mixotrophic growth of H. pluvialis in batch or fed-batch cultures in a 3.7-L bioreactor was 90–360 μmol m−2 s−1, and that the stepwise increased light intensity mode could be replaced by a constant light intensity mode.

We have analysed the influence of the initial pH of the medium and the quantity of aeration provided during the batch fermentation
of solutions of d-xylose by the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (34438 ATCC). The initial pH was altered between 3.5 and 6.5 whilst aeration varied between 0.0 and 0.3 vvm. The temperature
was kept at 30 °C during all the experiments. Hansenula polymorpha is known to produce high quantities of xylitol and low quantities of ethanol. The most favourable conditions for the growth
of xylitol turned out to be: an initial pH of between 4.5 and 5.5 and the aeration provided by the stirring vortex alone.
Thus, at an initial pH of 5.5, the maximum specific production rate (μm) was 0.41 h−1, the overall biomass yield (Y
x/s
G) was 0.12 g g−1, the specific d-xylose-consumption rate (q
s
) was 0.075 g g−1 h−1 (for t = 75 h), the specific xylitol-production rate (q
Xy
) was 0.31 g g−1 h−1 (for t = 30 h) and the overall yields of ethanol (Y
E/s
G) and xylitol (Y
Xy/s
G) were 0.017 and 0.61 g g−1 respectively. Both q
s
and q
Xy
decreased during the course of the experiments once the exponential growth phase had finished.

CO2 exchange of the endolithic lichen Verrucaria baldensis was measured in the laboratory under different conditions of water content, temperature, light, and CO2 concentration. The species had low CO2 exchange rates (maximum net photosynthesis: c. 0.45 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1; maximum dark respiration: c. 0.3 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1) and a very low light compensation point (7 μmol photons m−2 s−1 at 8°C). The net photosynthesis/respiration quotient reached a maximum at 9–15°C. Photosynthetic activity was affected only
after very severe desiccation, when high resaturation respiratory rates were measured. Microclimatic data were recorded under
different weather conditions in an abyss of the Trieste Karst (northeast Italy), where the species was particularly abundant.
Low photosynthetically active radiation (normally below 40 μmol photons m−2 s−1), very high humidities (over 80%), and low, constant temperatures were measured. Thallus water contents sufficient for CO2 assimilation were often measured in the absence of condensation phenomena.

A quantitative study of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) turnover, and the contribution of tryptophan-dependent and tryptophan-independent
IAA-biosynthesis pathways, was carried out using protoplast preparations and shoot apices obtained from wild-type and transgenic,
IAA-overproducing tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants, during a phase of growth when the level of endogenous IAA was stable. Based on the rate of disappearance of [13C6]IAA, the half-life of the IAA pool was calculated to be 1.1 h in wild-type protoplasts and 0.8 h in protoplasts from the
IAA-overproducing line, corresponding to metabolic rates of 59 and 160 pg IAA (μg Chl)−1 h−1, respectively. The rate of conversion of tryptophan to IAA was 15 pg IAA (μg Chl)−1 h−1 in wild-type protoplasts and 101 pg IAA (μg Chl)−1 h−1 in protoplasts from IAA-overproducing plants. In both instances, IAA was metabolised more rapidly than it was synthesised
from tryptophan. As the endogenous IAA pools were in a steady state, these findings indicate that IAA biosynthesis via the
tryptophan-independent pathway was 44 pg IAA (μg Chl)−1 h−1 and 59 pg IAA (μg Chl)−1 h−1, respectively, in the wild-type and transformed protoplast preparations. In a parallel study with apical shoot tissue, the
presumed site of IAA biosynthesis, the rate of tryptophan-dependent IAA biosynthesis exceeded the rate of metabolism of [13C6]IAA despite the steady state of the endogenous IAA pool. The most likely explanation for this anomaly is that, unlike the
protoplast system, injection of substrates into the apical tissues did not result in uniform distribution of label, and that
at least some of the [2H5]tryptophan was metabolised in compartments not normally active in IAA biosynthesis. This demonstrates the importance of using
experimental systems where labelling of the precursor pool can be strictly controlled.

Water conductance of the cuticular membrane (CM) of mature sweet cherry fruit (Prunus avium L. cv. Sam) was investigated by monitoring water loss from segments of the outer pericarp excised from the cheek of the fruit.
Segments consisted of epidermis, hypodermis and several cell layers of the mesocarp. Segments were mounted in stainless-steel
diffusion cells with the mesocarp surface in contact with water, while the outer cuticular surface was exposed to dry silica
(22 ± 1 °C). Conductance was calculated by dividing the amount of water transpired per unit area and time by the difference
in water vapour concentration across the segment. Conductance values had a log normal distribution with a median of 1.15 × 10−4 m s−1 (n=357). Transpiration increased linearly with time. Conductance remained constant and was not affected by metabolic inhibitors
(1 mM NaN3 or 0.1 mM carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone) or thickness of segments (range 0.8–2.8 mm). Storing fruit (up to 42 d, 1 °C) used as a source of
segments had no consistent effect on conductance. Conductance of the CM increased from cheek (1.16 ± 0.10 × 10−4 m s−1) to ventral suture (1.32 ± 0.07 × 10−4 m s−1) and to stylar end (2.53 ± 0.17 × 10−4 m s−1). There was a positive relationship (r2=0.066**; n=108) between conductance and stomatal density. From this relationship the cuticular conductance of a hypothetical astomatous
CM was estimated to be 0.97 ± 0.09 × 10−4 m s−1. Removal of epicuticular wax by stripping with cellulose acetate or extracting epicuticular plus cuticular wax by dipping
in CHCl3/methanol increased conductance 3.6- and 48.6-fold, respectively. Water fluxes increased with increasing temperature (range
10–39 °C) and energies of activation, calculated for the temperature range from 10 to 30 °C, were 64.8 ± 5.8 and 22.2 ± 5.0 kJ
mol−1 for flux and vapour-concentration-based conductance, respectively.

Two series of experiments were conducted to determine suitable growth factors for the mass propagation of the local algal
isolate Amphora sp. A higher growth rate of 0.2 doubling (μ) day−1 was attained at a lower photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD; 11.4 μmol photon m−2s−1) compared to cultures exposed to higher levels of PPFD (16.1 μmol photon m−2s−1, −0.1 μ day −1; 31.3 μmol photon m−2s−1, 0.0 μ day−1). Cultures located inside the laboratory had a significantly higher cell density (133 × 104 cells cm−2) and growth rate (0.3 μ day−1) compared to those located outdoors (100 × 104 cells cm−2, 0.2 μ day−1). A comparison of nutrient medium across two locations showed that lipid content was significantly higher in cultures enriched
with F/2MTM (macronutrients + trace metals) and F/2MV (macronutrients + vitamins). Saturated fatty acids were also present
in high concentrations in cultures enriched with F/2M (macronutrients only). Significantly higher amounts of saturated fatty
acids were observed in cultures located outdoors (33.1%) compared to those located indoors (26.6%). The protein, carbohydrates
and n-6 fatty acid content of Amphora sp. were influenced by the location and enrichment of the cultures. This study has identified growth conditions for mass
culture of Amphora sp. and determined biochemical composition under those culture conditions.

The lactose-negative yeast Rhodotorula glutinis 22P and the homofermentative lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus helveticus 12A were cultured together in a cheese whey ultrafiltrate containing 42 g L−1 lactose. The chemical composition of the caroteno-protein has been determined. The carotenoid and protein contents are 248
μ g g−1 dry cells and 48.2% dry weight. Carotenoids produced by Rhodotorula glutinis 22P have been identified as β-carotene 15%, torulene 10%, and torularhodin 69%. After separating the cell mass from the microbial association, the exopolysaccharides
synthesized by Rhodotorula glutinis 22P were isolated from the supernatant medium in a yield of 9.2 g L−1. The monosaccharide composition of the synthesized biopolymer was predominantly D-mannose (57.5%).

Batch and continuous cultivation of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens for the production of succinic acid from whey 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Batch and continuous cultivation of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens were systematically studied for the production of succinic acid from whey. Addition of 2.5 g l−1 yeast extract and 2.5 g l−1 polypeptone per 10 g l−1 whey was most effective for succinic acid production from both treated and nontreated whey. When 20 g l−1 nontreated whey and 7 g l−1 glucose were used as cosubstrates, the yield and productivity of succinic acid reached at the end of fermentation were 95%
and 0.46 g (l h)−1, respectively. These values were higher than those obtained using nontreated whey alone [93% and 0.24 g (l h)−1 for 20 g l−1 whey]. Continuous fermentation of A. succiniciproducens at an optimal dilution rate resulted in the production of succinic acid with high productivity [1.35 g (l h)−1], high conversion yield (93%), and higher ratio of succinic acid to acetic acid (5.1:1) from nontreated whey.

Laccase, purified from Coriolus versicolor, removed pentachlorophenol (PCP) from solution at pH 5, depending on initial PCP concentration and amount of laccase. With
100 units of laccase, 100% of 25 μg ml−1 PCP and 60% of 200 μg ml−1 PCP were removed respectively over 72 h. No free chloride was released in the reaction. In reaction with 100 μg PCP, products
were primarily polymers (about 80,000 MW) with only 2–3 pg of o- and p-chloranils formed. Polymers were stable to acid hydrolysis and no release of PCP, or other low-molecular-weight products,
was detected over several weeks. Laccase has a potential use in the biotreatment of aqueous effluents containing PCP, with
polymerised products being removed from solution due to their high molecular weight.

An optic fiber (? 0.5 mm) was utilized for the study of Achilles tendon forces (ATF) in eight volunteers who walked over
a 10 m force platform at three speeds (1.1 ± 0.1 m × s−1, 1.5 ± 0.1 m × s−1 and 1.8 ± 0.2 m × s−1). The presented ATF-time curves showed great intersubject variation in magnitudes of the sudden release of force after initial
contact and in the peak ATF's (1430 ± 500 N). This intersubject variation in the peak force decreased only by 4% when cross-sectional
area of the tendon was considered. Measured ground reaction forces and plantar pressures confirmed that the subjects walked
quite normally during recordings. The peak ATF was found to be rather insensitive to speed in contrast to the rate of ATF
development which increased 32% ( p < 0.5) from slow to fast walking speed. It is concluded that the optic fiber technique can be applied to study loading of
the musculo-tendinous complex during normal locomotion such as walking.

Cardiac activity of two Mediterranean limpets was tested at different salinities. Patella caerulea inhabits the lower midlittoral where it is exposed to variations in salinity, while P. aspera experiences more stable salinity conditions in the infralittoral fringe. When exposed to moderate hypo- and hypersalinity
(23 g l−1 and 43 g l−1) for 24 min, P. caerulea showed no significant variation in heart rate with respect to the control salinity (33 g l−1), while P. aspera exhibited a significant increase in heart rate in both conditions. This suggests a rise in metabolic rate due to activation
of behavioural responses or physiological regulation. When exposed to extremely low salinity (3 g l−1) for 24 min, heart contractions ceased in most specimens of P. caerulea. A smaller number of specimens also displayed cessation of heart beat when exposed to extremely high salinity (63 g l−1). The heart beat resumed quickly in all specimens when they were returned to control salinity conditions. In contrast, cardiac
activity was not interrupted in any of the P. aspera specimens at the 3 g l−1 and 63 g l−1 salinity levels, but strong bradycardia was evident. Contractile activity of the heart ceased in all specimens of P. caerulea and P. aspera when they were exposed to prolonged hypo-osmotic stress (3 g l−1 for 24 h). This acardia was largely reversible in P. caerulea, but most specimens of P. aspera did not recover from the treatment.

A two-phase aqueous/organic partitioning bioreactor scheme was used to degrade mixtures of toluene and benzene, and toluene
and p-xylene, using simultaneous and sequential feeding strategies. The aqueous phase of the partitioning bioreactor contained
Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 55595, an organism able to degrade benzene, toluene and p-xylene simultaneously. An industrial grade of oleyl alcohol served as the organic phase. In each experiment, the organic
phase of the bioreactor was loaded with 10.15 g toluene, and either 2.0 g benzene or 2.1 g p-xylene. The resulting aqueous phase concentrations were 50 mg/l, 25 mg/l and 8 mg/l toluene, benzene and p-xylene respectively. The simultaneous fermentation of benzene and toluene consumed these compounds at volumetric rates of
0.024 g l−1 h−1 and 0.067 g l−1 h−1, respectively. The simultaneous fermentation of toluene and p-xylene consumed these xenobiotics at volumetric rates of 0.066 g l−1 h−1 and 0.018 g l−1 h−1, respectively. A sequential feeding strategy was employed in which toluene was added initially, but the benzene or p-xylene aliquot was added only after the cells had consumed half of the initial toluene concentration. This strategy was shown
to improve overall degradation rates, and to reduce the stress on the microorganisms. In the sequential fermentation of benzene
and toluene, the volumetric degradation rates were 0.056 g l−1 h−1 and 0.079 g l−1 h−1, respectively. In the toluene/p-xylene sequential fermentation, the initial toluene load was consumed before the p-xylene aliquot was consumed. After 12 h in which no p-xylene degradation was observed, a 4.0-g toluene aliquot was added, and p-xylene degradation resumed. Excluding that 12-h period, the microbes consumed toluene and p-xylene at volumetric rates of 0.074 g l−1 h−1 and 0.025 g l−1 h−1, respectively. Oxygen limitation occurred in all fermentations during the rapid growth phase.

During January 1989, phytoplankton biomass and species composition were studied in a north / south transect at the Weddell / Scotia
Confluence (47°W), between 57° and 61°30′S. Results showed a diatom bloom in the Scotia Sea (chlorophyll a 1.9 μg l−1, particulate organic carbon 239 μg l−1), dominated by Fragilariopsis cylindrus, Dactyliosolen antarcticus and Chaetoceros dichaeta. Low chlorophyll a / phaeopigments ratios (about 1.4) and silicate concentrations (15 μmol l−1) suggested that this was an advanced bloom phase, probably linked to high grazing pressure. Minimum chlorophyll a values of 0.1–0.2 μg l−1 and particulate organic carbon 46 μg l−1 were found at the Weddell / Scotia Front and in a subsurface layer of the Weddell Sea Water. In the southern part of the
transect (61°30′S), in the Weddell Sea, a second surface maximum was found (chlorophyll a 0.9 μg l−1, particulate organic carbon 120 μg l−1), but with a different species composition, with Cryptomonas sp. dominant. Our results show a succession within the diatom community in the Weddell / Scotia Confluence Waters when comparing
the three EPOS legs. In the Weddell Sea from spring to summer, nanoflagellates, with only a minor contribution from diatoms,
persist over a long period with little change in the community structure. We suggest that the frontal system, together with
the receding ice edge and the grazing pressure of either krill or protozooplankton, are mainly responsible for the phytoplankton
distribution patterns found.

Photorhabdus luminescens, a bacterial symbiont of entomopathogenic biocontrol nematodes, was grown in batch and glucose fed-batch culture. The cell
density, bioluminescence, production of antibiotic substances, number of cells with inclusion bodies, glucose concentration
and oxygen uptake rate were recorded. The addition of 12.4 g l−1 glucose prolonged the growth, and the yield almost doubled, from 6.85 g l−1 to 12.45 g l−1 dry mass. The production of antibiotic substances increased by 140%. Bioluminescence was higher in the batch culture. A shift
of P. luminescens to phase II variants was not detected.
