Duckweeds, as a group, are important early warning indicators for the assessment of contaminated ecosystems due to their propensity to accumulate pollutants. In the present study, we investigated the potential use of Lemna gibba L. (Lemnaceae) as an ecological indicator for boron (B) mine effluent containing B concentration above 10 mg l−1. For this purpose, L. gibba fronds were grown for 7 days in simulated water contaminated with B mine effluent. The important note is that this study was carried out in Kırka (Eskişehir, Turkey) B reserve area, which is the largest borax reserve in all over the world, under natural climatic conditions in the field. The results demonstrated that accumulations of B by L. gibba gradually increased based on the initial B concentrations (10, 25, 50, 100, and 150 mg l−1) of the mine effluent. B concentration in the dry weight of the plant reached 639 mg kg−1 when the minimum initial dosage (10 mg l−1) was applied and 2711 mg kg−1 when the maximum initial dosage (150 mg l−1) was applied during the study. However, significant reductions in their relative growth rates occurred in 50, 100 and 150 mg l−1 initial B concentrations. Results suggest that 25 mg l−1 B concentration in water seemed to be a sensitive endpoint for L. gibba that could be used as a critical bioindicator level of B contaminated water. Following our data, we also constructed a simple growth model under the climatic conditions in this region of Turkey, but in instructive as a worldwide model. L. gibba is, therefore, suggested to be able to use as both an indicator and a phytoremediation tool because of its high accumulation capacity for B contaminated water. 相似文献

Cheese whey powder (CWP) solution with different CWP or sugar concentrations was fermented to ethanol in a continuous fermenter using pure culture of Kluyveromyces marxianus (DSMZ 7239). Sugar concentration of the feed CWP solution varied between 55 and 200 g l−1 while the hydraulic residence time (HRT) was kept constant at 54 h. Ethanol formation, sugar utilization and biomass formation were investigated as functions of the feed sugar concentration. Percent sugar utilization and biomass concentrations decreased and the effluent sugar concentration increased with increasing feed sugar concentrations especially for the feed sugar contents above 100 g l−1. Ethanol concentration and productivity (DP) increased with increasing feed sugar up to 100 g l−1 and then decreased with further increases in the feed sugar content. The highest ethanol concentration (3.7%, v v−1) and productivity (0.54 gE l−1 h−1) were obtained with the feed sugar content of 100 g l−1 or 125 g l−1. The ethanol yield coefficient (YP/S) was also maximum (0.49 gE gS−1) when the feed sugar was between 100 and 125 g l−1. The growth yield coefficient (YX/S) decreased steadily from 0.123 to 0.063 gX gS−1 when the feed sugar increased from 55 to 200 g l−1 due to adverse effects of high sugar contents on yeast growth. The optimal feed sugar concentration maximizing the ethanol productivity and sugar utilization was between 100 and 125 g l−1 under the specified experimental conditions. 相似文献

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) represent the main coffee industry residues with a great potential to be reutilized in various biotechnological processes. In this study, several carotenogenic yeasts strains were exploited for the production of vitamin-enriched biomass, cultivating in SCG-based media. The fermentation was firstly carried out in Erlenmeyer flasks in order to select the best biomass and pigment producer. Among four tested strains, Sporobolomyces roseus showed the highest potential for the accumulation of carotenoids. Maximum pigment concentration and yield was obtained when cultivating in SCG-based media, 12.59 mg l−1 and 1.26 mg g−1, respectively. Comparing both, the batch and the fed-batch cultivation modes, the strategy of sequential addition of pre-concentrated SCG media in the bioreactor gave higher biomass yield (maximum 41 g l−1 during 41–48 h after the beginning of fermentation). Thus, SCG can be considered as potentially promising industrial waste stream for economically feasible production of enriched yeasts biomass. 相似文献

Protocorm cultures of Dendrobium candidum were established in balloon type bubble bioreactors using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 0.5 mg l−1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 2.5% (w/v) sucrose, 5:25 mM NH4:NO3 and 1% (v/v) banana homogenate for the production of biomass and bioactive compounds. In 3 l bioreactor containing 2 l medium, a maximum protocorm biomass (21.0 g l−1 dry biomass) and also optimum quantities of total polysaccharides (389.3 mg g−1 DW), coumarins (18.0 mg g−1 DW), polyphenolics (11.9 mg g−1 DW), and flavonoids (4.5 mg g−1 DW) were achieved after 7 weeks of culture. Based on these studies, 5 and 10 l bioreactor cultures were established to harvest 80 g and 160 g dry biomass. In 10 l bioreactors, the protocorms grown were accumulated with optimal levels of polysaccharides (424.1 mg g−1 DW), coumarins (15.8 mg g−1 DW), polyphenols (9.03 mg g−1 DW) and flavonoids (4.7 mg g−1 DW). The bioreactor technology developed here will be useful for the production of important bioactive compounds from D. candidum. 相似文献

The production of C595 diabody fragment (dbFv) in Escherichia coli (E. coli) HB2151 clone has been explored. The comparison of fermentation processes mode demonstrated that a higher biomass inoculum operation enhanced C595 dbFv production. It was demonstrated that a concentration of 12.1 mg l−1 broth of dbFv and a cell concentration of 23.6 g l−1 broth were achieved at the end of 75 l fermentation. 相似文献

Pseudomonas luteola was immobilized by entrapment in alginate–silicate sol–gel beads for decolorization of the azo dye, Reactive Red 22. The influences of biomass loading and operating conditions on specific decolorization rate and dye removal efficiency were studied in details. The immobilized cells were found to be less sensitive to changes in agitation rates (dissolved oxygen levels) and pH values. Michaelis–Menten kinetics could be used to describe the decolorization kinetics with the kinetic parameters being 36.5 mg g−1 h−1, 300.1 mg l−1 and 18.2 mg g−1 h−1, 449.8 mg l−1 for free and immobilized cells, respectively. After five repeated batch cycles, the decolorization rate of the free cells decreased by nearly 54%, while immobilized cells still retained 82% of their original activity. The immobilized cells exhibited better thermal stability during storage and reaction when compared with free cells. From SEM observation, a dense silicate gel layer was found to surround the macroporous alginate–silicate core, which resulted in much improved mechanical stability over that of alginate beads when tested under shaking conditions. Alginate–silicate matrices appeared to be the best matrix for immobilization of P. luteola in decolorization of Reactive Red 22 when compared with previous results using synthetic or natural polymer matrices. 相似文献

Methanolic extracts from the biomass of shoot-differentiating and undifferentiating callus cultures of Schisandra chinensis growing respectively on six and two different variants of the Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, with different concentrations of plant growth regulators, BA (N6-benzyladenine) and NAA (α-naphthaleneacetic acid) were analyzed for the accumulation of two lignans–schisantherin A and gomisin G, using the HPLC method. The amounts of the two compounds in the biomass extracts from shoot-differentiating callus cultures were dependent on the concentration of plant growth regulators in the MS medium. The highest amounts of both lignans were obtained on the MS medium supplemented with 3 mg l−1 BA and 1 mg l−1 NAA. The maximum amount of schisantherin A (33.45 mg 100 g−1 DW) was about 1.3 times higher than in the extracts from the leaves and fruits of parent plants. This is the most important result potentially promising from a practical point of view. 相似文献

Asymbiotic germination of immature seeds (embryos), and mature seeds and micropropagation of Spathoglottis plicata were described. Effects of three nutrition media namely, Murashige & Skoog (MS); Phytamax (PM); and Phyto-Technology orchid seed sowing medium (P723), two carbon sources such as glucose and sucrose at 2–3% (w/v), two plant growth regulators such as 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP; 0.5–3.0 mg l− 1) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA; 0.5–2.0 mg l− 1) and peptone (2.0 g l− 1) were examined on seed germination, early protocorm development and micropropagation. The maximum germination of mature seeds (95%) was recorded in PM medium supplemented with 2% (w/v) sucrose + 2.0 g l− 1 peptone. For germination of embryos P723 medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l− 1 BAP proved best. Multiple shoot buds or protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) were produced from stem segments of in vitro raised seedlings. Both direct organogenesis and embryogenesis were observed and the morphogenetic response was initiated by different concentrations and combinations of PGRs. The optimum PGR combination for maximal PLB regeneration was 1.0 mg l− 1 NAA + 2.5 mg l− 1 BAP, while 1.0 mg l− 1 NAA + 1.0 mg l− 1 BAP for shoot bud development. Strong and stout root system was induced in half strength PM medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l− 1 IAA. The well-rooted plantlets were transferred to pots containing a potting mixture composed of saw dust, coconut coir, humus, and coal pieces at 1:1:1:2 (w/w) with 80% survival in outside environment and flowered after two years of transfer. 相似文献

The removal of Remazol Blue and Reactive Black B by the immobilized thermophilic cyanobacterial strain Phormidium sp. was investigated under thermophilic conditions in a batch system, in order to determine the optimal conditions required for the highest dye removal. In the experiments, performed at pH 8.5, with different initial dye concentrations between 9.1 mg l−1 and 82.1 mg l−1 and at 45 °C, calcium alginate immobilized Phormidium sp. showed high dye decolorization, with maximum uptake yields ranging from 50% to 88% at all dye concentrations tested. When the effects of high dye concentrations on dye removal were investigated, the highest uptake yield in the beads was 50.3% for 82.1 mg l−1 Remazol Blue and 60.0% for 79.5 mg l−1 Reactive Black B. The highest color removal was detected at 45 °C and 50 °C incubation temperatures for all dye concentrations. As the temperature decreased, the removal yield of immobilized Phormidium sp. also decreased. At about 75 mg l−1 initial dye concentrations, the highest specific dye uptake measured was 41.29–41.17 mg g−1 for Remazol Blue and 47.69–43.82 mg g−1 for Reactive Black B at 45 °C and 50 °C incubation temperatures, respectively, after 8 days incubation. 相似文献

Chromate reduction was carried out by resting cells of Achromobacter sp. Ch-1 with lactate as electron donor under aerobic conditions. The reduction activity of the samples supplemented with lactate was two times as those without lactate. The reduction rate was influenced by initial pH and lactate concentration. Under the optimal conditions, pH 9.0 and 4000 mg l−1 lactate supplement, reduction rate was 5.45 mg l−1 min−1. The reduction rate decreased with increasing of Cr(VI) concentrations and increased with cell densities proportionally. The maximum reduction limit of Ch-1 cells was obtained at 2107 mg l−1 of Cr(VI). 相似文献

The mixed cultures has been isolated from industrial saline wastewater contaminated with chromium(VI), using enrichment in the presence of 50 mg l−1 chromium(VI) and 4% (w/v) NaCl at pH 8. In this study, the molasses (M) medium was selected a suitable medium for the effective chromium bioaccumulation by the mixed cultures. Eleven pure isolates obtained from mixed cultures and some of them showed high bioaccumulation in the M media containing about 100 mg l−1 chromium(VI) and 4% NaCl. The strain 8 (99.3%) and 10 (99.1%) were able to bioaccumulate more efficient than the mixed culture (98.9%) in this media. But the highest specific Cr uptake was obtained by the mixed cultures followed by strain 8 and 10 with 56.71, 33.14 and 21.7 mg g−1, respectively. Bioaccumulation of chromium(VI) ions by the strain 8 growing in the media with chromium(VI) and NaCl was studied in a batch system as a function of initial chromium(VI) (86.6–547.6 mg l−1) and NaCl (0, 2, 4, 6% w/v) concentrations. During all the experiments, the uptake yield of the strain 8 was highly affected from NaCl concentrations in the medium at high initial chromium(VI) concentrations. But at low chromium(VI) concentration, strain 8 was not affected from NaCl concentrations in the medium. The maximum uptake yield were obtained in the M media with 2% NaCl as 98.8% for 110.0 mg l−1, 98.6% for 217.1 mg l−1, 98.6% for 381.7 mg l−1 and 98.2% for 547.6 mg l−1 initial chromium(VI) concentrations. The strain 8 tolerated a 6% (w/v) NaCl concentration was able to bioaccumulate more than 95% of the applied chromium(VI) at the 97.6–224.4 mg l−1 initial chromium(VI) concentrations. The results presented in this paper was shown that these pure and mixed cultures might be of use for the bioaccumulation of chromium(VI) from saline wastewater. 相似文献

Plants of miscanthus were grown in a Cd-free solution up to 1 month before heading and then were exposed to 0, 0.75, 1.5, 2.25 and 3 mg l−1 cadmium for 36 days. All cadmium levels were toxic to miscanthus. Growth response was not dose-dependent and two toxicity thresholds were identified: one between 0 and 0.75 mg l−1 Cd, the other between 2.25 and 3 mg l−1 Cd. The former caused a biomass decrease by about 50%, whereas the latter completely inhibited growth and disrupted the mechanisms that restricted Cd translocation to the shoot. Growth of the aerial part was affected by cadmium more than that of the hypogeal one. Cadmium did not change the N concentration of different plant parts, but markedly reduced the N uptake of the plant, the N net uptake rate (NUR) and the N net translocation rate (NTR) from the rhizome to the aerial part. These two indexes equalled zero when plants ceased to grow. Otherwise, the Cd-NUR increased with Cd supply and the Cd-NTR from rhizome to aerial part showed the highest increment when plants did not grow at all. This suggests different uptake pathways for the two elements, active for nitrogen and passive for cadmium. The Cd concentration and the Cd content markedly increased with all Cd levels, following the order roots ≫ rhizome > culms > leaves. The Cd concentration and the Cd content of aerial organs increased with Cd supply, but increments were highest between 2.25 and 3 mg l−1 Cd. The highest Cd concentrations were recorded in plants grown with 3 mg l−1 Cd and were 41 and 122 mg kg−1, respectively, for the aerial and the hypogeal plant parts. The hypogeal plant part retained most of the cadmium taken up from solution, accounting for approximately 87% of total plant cadmium with the three lower Cd levels, and for 73% with the highest one. The maximum Cd content of the entire plant was achieved with the two higher Cd levels and was approximately 4.7 mg, while the Cd content of the aerial part was highest with 3 mg l−1 Cd (1.2 mg Cd per plant) and that of the hypogeal one with 2.25 mg l−1 Cd (4 mg Cd per plant). The highest aerial content achieved in this experiment was 10-fold that obtained in a previous research when small-sized plants were exposed to the same Cd level. 相似文献

The mono-azo dye Reactive Red 195 (RR 195) is a widely used color compound in the textile industry. As many other colors, it is persistent and difficult to be removed from water with conventional processes. The present study investigates biological decolorization of RR 195 under alternate anaerobic–aerobic conditions in a laboratory scale Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) containing a mixed culture and fed with a biodegradable carbon source. Different values of the Sludge Retention Time (SRT), Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT), influent color and organic carbon loadings were adopted during the experimental activity and their effects on color and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal efficiencies and process kinetics determined. The optimal operating conditions were found to be: 800 mg l−1 influent COD, 50 d SRT and a 24 h-cycle. Under these conditions, the maximum color efficiency of 97% was achieved for a 40 mg l−1 RR 195 in the feed. Some inhibition was present at influent color loadings above 40 mg l−1, which was confirmed by the application of the Haldane model. 相似文献

Aerobic granular sludge was cultivated in a glass sequencing batch reactor (SBR) with glucose synthetic wastewater. The spherical shaped granules were observed on 4th day with the mean diameter of 0.1 mm. With the increase of chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration of the influent, aerobic granules grew matured, the size of which ranged from 1.2 to 1.9 mm. The aerobic granular sludge could sustain high organic loading rate (about 4.0 g COD L−1 d−1), with good settling ability (settling velocity 36 m/h) and high biomass concentration (MLSS 6.7 ±0.2 g/L). Experimental data indicated that the substrate utilization and biomass growth kinetics followed Monod's kinetics model approximately. The corresponding kinetic coefficients of maximum specific substrate utilization rate (k), half velocity coefficient (Ks), growth yield coefficient (Y) and decay coefficient (Kd) were 13.2 d−1, 275.8 mg/L, 0.183–0.250 mg MLSS/mg COD and 0.023–0.075 d−1, respectively, which made aerobic granules have short setup period, high rate of substrate utilization and little surplus sludge. 相似文献

Pseudomonas putida 33 wild strain, subjected to gamma ray mutagenesis and designated as P. putida 300-B mutant was used as microbial rhamnolipid-producer by using distant carbon sources (viz. hydrocarbons, waste frying oils ‘WFOs’, vegetable oil refinery wastes and molasses) in the minimal media under shake flask conditions. The behavior of glucose as co-substrate and growth initiator was examined. The 300-B mutant strain showed its ability to grow on all the substrates tested and produced rhamnolipid surfactants to different extents however; soybean and corn WFOs were observed to be preferred carbon sources followed by kerosene and paraffin oils, respectively. The best cell biomass (3.5 g l−1) and rhamnolipids yield (4.1 g l−1) were obtained with soybean WFO as carbon source and glucose as growth initiator under fed-batch cultivation showing an optimum specific growth rate (μ) of 0.272 h−1, specific product yield (qp) of 0.318 g g−1 h and volumetric productivity (PV) of 0.024 g l−1 h. The critical micelle concentration of its culture supernatant was observed to be 91 mg rhamnolipids l−1 and surface tension as 31.2 mN m−1. 相似文献

Effects of some precursors on phenylethanoid glycosides (PeGs) accumulation in Cistanche salsa cell suspension cultures were investigated. Precursors such as tyrosine, phenylalanine, caffeic acid and cucumber juice at proper concentrations could increase the total accumulation of PeGs (echinacoside, acteoside, 2′-acetylacteoside) by 50%, 12%, 12% and 23%, respectively. Under the combined feeding of precursors at proper concentrations, the total production of PeGs in bio-staged culture reached the highest amount of 1358.1 mg l−1 (640.8 mg echinacoside l−1, 689.4 mg acteoside l−1 and 54.9 mg 2′-acetylacteoside l−1), which was about two-fold of that in the control. This study showed promise for obtaining large-scale production of active ingredients in plant cells by the solid–liquid two step culture (SLTSC) technique and also provided for the first time an example for producing PeGs by C. salsa cell culture. The improved production of PeGs was higher than that in previous reports on PeG production by Cistanche deserticola cell culture fed with precursors. 相似文献

The bioaccumulation of chromium(VI), nickel(II), copper(II), and reactive dye by the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa has been investigated in media containing molasses as a carbon and energy source. Optimal pH values for the yeast cells to remove the pollutants were pH 4 for copper(II) and dye, pH 6 for chromium(VI) and dye, and pH 5 for nickel(II) and dye in media containing 50 mg l?1 heavy metal and 50 mg l?1 Remazol Blue. The maximum dye bioaccumulation was observed within 4–6 days and uptake yields varied from 93% to 97%. The highest copper(II) removal yields measured were 30.6% for 45.4 mg l?1 and 32.4% for 95.9 mg l?1 initial copper(II) concentrations. The nickel(II) removal yield was 45.5% for 22.3 mg l?1, 38.0% for 34.7 mg l?1, and 30.3% for 62.2 mg l?1. Higher chromium(VI) removal yields were obtained, such as 94.5% for 49.2 mg l?1 and 87.7% for 129.2 mg l?1 initial chromium(VI) concentration. The maximum dye and heavy metal bioaccumulation yield was investigated in media with a constant dye (approximately 50 mg l?1) and increasing heavy metal concentration. In the medium with 48.9–98.8 mg l?1 copper(II) and constant dye concentration, the maximum copper(II) bioaccumulation was 27.7% and 27.9% whereas the maximum dye bioaccumulation was 96.1% and 95.3%. The maximum chromium(VI) bioaccumulation in the medium with dye was 95.2% and 80.3% at 48.2 and 102.2 mg l?1 chromium(VI) concentrations. In these media dye bioaccumulation was 76.1% and 35.1%, respectively. The highest nickel(II) removal was 6.1%, 20.3% and 16.0% in the medium with 23.8 mg l?1 nickel(II) + 37.8 mg l?1 dye, 38.1 mg l?1 nickel(II) + 33.4 mg l?1 dye and 59.0 mg l?1 nickel(II) + 39.2 mg l?1 dye, respectively. The maximum dye bioaccumulation yield in the media with nickel(II) was 94.1%, 78.0% and 58.7%, respectively. 相似文献

A comparative study of the performance of two types of adsorbent (Streamline Quartz Base and Upfront Matrices), derivatized with the same affinity ligand (RPAP) to recover C595 diabody fragment (dbFv) from Escherichia coli lysates has been undertaken. Both streamline and Upfront Matrices are characterized by a particle size range of 100–300 μm. Streamline has a density of 1.20 g cm−3 and ligand concentration of 0.85 μmol ml−1. Upfront has a density of 1.35 g cm−3 and ligand concentration of 0.83 μmol ml−1. The release of C595 dbFv from E. coli cells was achieved by a chemical lysis method. The recovery performance of both adsorbents was evaluated in terms of operational productivity and elution yield of C595 dbFv in packed bed (clarified feedstock) and expanded bed (unclarified and clarified feedstock) chromatography systems. Streamline and Upfront adsorbents exhibited diabody operational productivities of 131 and 202 mg l−1, respectively, with an elution yield of 92 and 94%, respectively, in packed bed operation. Streamline and Upfront adsorbents exhibited diabody operational productivities of 54.5 and 123.7 mg l−1, respectively, with an elution yield of 89 and 92%, respectively, in expanded bed operation. 相似文献

A pilot-scale (1.2 m3) anaerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactor (ASBBR) containing mineral coal for biomass attachment was fed with sulfate-rich wastewater at increasing sulfate concentrations. Ethanol was used as the main organic source. Tested COD/sulfate ratios were of 1.8 and 1.5 for sulfate loading rates of 0.65–1.90 kgSO42−/cycle (48 h-cycle) or of 1.0 in the trial with 3.0 gSO42− l−1. Sulfate removal efficiencies observed in all trials were as high as 99%. Molecular inventories indicated a shift on the microbial composition and a decrease on species diversity with the increase of sulfate concentration. Beta-proteobacteria species affiliated with Aminomonas spp. and Thermanaerovibrio spp. predominated at 1.0 gSO42− l−1. At higher sulfate concentrations the predominant bacterial group was Delta-proteobacteria mainly Desulfovibrio spp. and Desulfomicrobium spp. at 2.0 gSO42− l−1, whereas Desulfurella spp. and Coprothermobacter spp. predominated at 3.0 gSO42− l−1. These organisms have been commonly associated with sulfate reduction producing acetate, sulfide and sulfur. Methanogenic archaea (Methanosaeta spp.) was found at 1.0 and 2.0 gSO42− l−1. Additionally, a simplified mathematical model was used to infer on metabolic pathways of the biomass involved in sulfate reduction. 相似文献
