Estíbaliz Díaz‐Tena Naiara Rojo L. Gurtubay Adrián Rodríguez‐Ezquerro Luis Norberto López de Lacalle Iñigo Oyanguren Francisca Barbero Ana Elías 《Engineering in Life Science》2017,17(4):382-391
Biomachining has become a promising alternative to micromachining metal pieces, as it is considered more environmentally friendly than their physical and chemical machining counterparts. In this research work, two strategies that contribute to the development of this innovative technology and could promote its industrial implementation were investigated: preservation of biomachining microorganisms (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans) for their further use, and making valuable use of the liquid residue obtained following the biomachining process. Regarding the preservation method, freeze‐drying, freezing, and drying were tested to preserve biomachining bacteria, and the effect of different cryoprotectants, storage times, and temperatures was studied. Freezing at –80°C in Eppendorf cryovials using betaine as a cryoprotective agent reported the highest bacteria survival rate (40% of cell recovery) among the studied processes. The treatment of the liquid residue in two successive stages led to the precipitation of most of the total dissolved iron and divalent copper (99.9%). The by‐products obtained (iron and copper hydroxide) could be reused in several industrial applications, thereby enhancing the environmentally friendly nature of the biomachining process. 相似文献

With the depletion of global petroleum and its increasing price, biodiesel has been becoming one of the most promising biofuels for global fuels market. Researchers exploit oleaginous microorganisms for biodiesel production due to their short life cycle, less labor required, less affection by venue, and easier to scale up. Many oleaginous microorganisms can accumulate lipids, especially triacylglycerols (TAGs), which are the main materials for biodiesel production. This review is covering the related researches on different oleaginous microorganisms, such as yeast, mold, bacteria and microalgae, which might become the potential oil feedstocks for biodiesel production in the future, showing that biodiesel from oleaginous microorganisms has a great prospect in the development of biomass energy. Microbial oils biosynthesis process includes fatty acid synthesis approach and TAG synthesis approach. In addition, the strategies to increase lipids accumulation via metabolic engineering technology, involving the enhancement of fatty acid synthesis approach, the enhancement of TAG synthesis approach, the regulation of related TAG biosynthesis bypass approaches, the blocking of competing pathways and the multi-gene approach, are discussed in detail. It is suggested that DGAT and ME are the most promising targets for gene transformation, and reducing PEPC activity is observed to be beneficial for lipid production. 相似文献

In Northern Ireland, phosphorus enrichment of lakes due to agriculture is a significant problem. Heavy metal exports from landfill sites, often located on water-logged land, are also of concern. Locally available laterite, a low grade bauxite which is rich in iron and aluminium, is used in acid solution with subsequent precipitation to remove phosphorus and heavy metals at several sewage treatment works. Constructed wetlands offer an attractive alternative to conventional waste water treatment in certain circumstances but removal of phosphorus is strongly dependent on the bed medium. Calcium-, iron- and aluminium-rich solid media are recommended. A brief introduction to the use and cost-effectiveness of constructed wetlands (CWs) in treating a range of effluents is given. This study, using both laboratory tests and pilot-scale constructed wetlands, reports the effectiveness of granular laterite in removing phosphorus and heavy metals from landfill leachate. Initial laboratory studies have shown that laterite is capable of 99% removal of phosphorus from solution. A pilot-scale experimental CW containing laterite achieved 96% removal of phosphorus. This removal is much greater than that reported in other systems. Initial removals of aluminium and iron by pilot-scale CWs have been up to 85% and 98% respectively. Percolating columns of laterite reduced Cd, Cr and Pb to undetectable concentrations. Possible application of this low cost, low technology, visually unobtrusive yet efficient system to rural areas with dispersed point sources of pollution is discussed. 相似文献

Metal-binding receptors are one of the extracellular components of ATP-binding cassette transporters that are essential for regulation of metal homeostasis in bacteria. Laminin-binding adhesin (Lmb) of Streptococcus agalactiae falls under this class of solute binding proteins. It binds to zinc with a high affinity. Crystal structure of Lmb solved previously by our group reveals that the zinc is tetrahedrally coordinated by three histidines and a glutamate at the interdomain cleft. Lmb contains a long disordered loop close to the metal-binding site whose precise function is unknown. Several experimental attempts to produce apo-Lmb failed and this prompted us to carry out in silico studies to analyse the structural importance of the metal in Lmb. Here, we present the results of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies of native, apo-(metal removed) and the long loop truncated Lmb models along with a homologous protein, TroA from Treponema pallidum that was taken up for validating the MD results of Lmb. Absence of a metal results in significant structural changes in Lmb, particularly at the metal-binding pocket and with the long loop, although the overall fold is retained. This study thus revealed that the Lmb can exist in different conformational states with subtle differences in the overall fold based on the presence or absence of the metal. This could be functionally important for a putative metal uptake and release and also for the adhesive function of Lmb in recognizing laminin, which contains a high number of zinc finger motifs. 相似文献

This presentation comprises a review on the use of immobilized algae for wastewater nitrogen, phosphorus and metal removal purposes. Details of the use of immobilized algae, the techniques of immobilization and the effects of immobilization on cell function are included. Particularly relevant in their use for heavy metal removal from wastewaters; upon enriching the biomass in metal, can be recoverd, thereby providing economic advantages. The use of immobilized microalgae in these processes is very adequate and offers significant advantages in bioreactors. The future of this area of algal cell biotechnology is considered. 相似文献

The database BiolumBase was designed for the collection and systematization of available information on microorganisms containing bioluminescent systems; it includes two sections: natural and transgenic luminous microorganisms. By now, logic schemes of these sections have been developed, classification of the objects has been performed, ways of presentation of characteristics and structure of fields for input of information have been elaborated, and the necessary program modules have been developed. The database is filled on the basis of published data and our own experimental results; subsequent linkage of the database to the Internet is envisaged. Users will be able to obtain not only catalogues of strains but also information concerning the properties and functions of the known species of luminous bacteria, the structure, regulatory mechanisms, and application of bioluminescent systems and genetically engineered constructions with lux genes, as well as to find references and to search strains by using any set of attributes. The database will provide information that is of interest for the development of microbial ecology and biotechnology, in particular, for the prediction of biological hazard from the application of transgenic strains.__________Translated from Mikrobiologiya, Vol. 74, No. 2, 2005, pp. 278–286.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Medvedeva, Boyandin, Lankin, Kotov, Kargatova, Rodicheva, Popova. 相似文献

The marine environment is a prolific resource for the isolation of less exploited microorganisms. As a matter of fact, in the sea, untapped habitats exist with unique characteristics. In addition, the potential contribution of marine sources to the discovery of new bioactive molecules was recently recognized. Biosearch Italia possesses a collection of about 40 000 microorganisms, isolated from different ecological niches. In the search of new bioactive entities, investigations were expanded to marine habitats including marine sediments and organisms. More then 800 microorganisms have been isolated. About half belong to fungal genera, the others being actinomycetes. The frequency of antibiotic activities produced by these marine strains has been determined. Initial data are encouraging: marine isolates produce antibiotic activities with frequencies comparable to terrestrial ones. These activities probably represent a mixture of novel metabolites and known products previously discovered from terrestrial isolates. Further investigations are ongoing to assess the novelty of these observed microbiological activities. 相似文献

城市绿地微生物及其对城市化的响应 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
城市绿地微生物的稳定性是城市绿地发挥其重要生态系统功能的重要因素。人类世时代的快速城市化会改变城市绿地土壤理化性质、输入新兴污染物、加剧微生物生态系统潜在风险、改变微生物群落多样性及生态系统功能多样性,深远地影响了城市绿地的生态系统服务功能。本文综述了城市绿地微生物的特征,以及城市化进程对城市绿地微生物组(包括土壤、植物叶际和空气)、抗生素抗性基因、病原微生物和稀有物种群落的影响。与自然微生物相比,城市绿地微生物普遍具有较高的异质性,受人类活动影响大。同时,抗生素抗性基因水平以及人类致病菌数量则显著增加,体现了城市化对城市绿地生态系统健康和功能的扰动。今后研究中应更加关注城市化对于城市绿地微生物的影响,为其对人群健康影响风险评价提供可靠理论支持。 相似文献

作为环境中广泛存在的污染物,微塑料(microplastics)的相关研究备受关注。基于已有研究,本文综合分析了微塑料与土壤微生物(soil microorganisms)的互作关系,微塑料会通过直接或间接的方式影响微生物群落结构与多样性,影响的程度取决于微塑料的类型、剂量和形状。土壤微生物会通过形成表面生物膜和群落选择效应来适应微塑料这一外来物所引起的变化。本文还特别关注了微塑料的生物降解机理,同时探究了影响这一过程的因素,微生物首先会定殖在微塑料表面,分泌多种胞外酶在特定位点发挥作用,将聚合物转化成低聚物或单体,解聚的小分子进入胞内进一步分解代谢,而影响这一降解过程的因素除了分子量、密度、结晶度等微塑料自身理化性质,还包括一些生物因素和非生物因素对相关微生物生长代谢和酶活性的作用。未来研究应注重与实际环境的联系,在深入探究微塑料生物降解研究的同时,开发解决微塑料污染问题的新技术。 相似文献
