Continuous production of lactic acid from glucose byLactobacillus rhamnosus with cell recycling using an acoustic cell settler was carried out. The performance of the system, such as the concentration
of cell and product were compared with the control experiment without recycling. The acoustic settler showed cell separation
efficiency of 67% during the continuous operation and the cell concentration in the fermentor with recycle exceeded that of
the control by 29%. Compared with the control, lactic acid production was increased by 40%, while glucose consumption was
only increased by 8%. The higher value of lactic acid production to substrate consumption (Y
P/S, product yield coefficient) achieved by cell recycling is interpreted to indicate that the recycled cell mass consumes less
substrate to produce the same amount of product than the control. Within system environmental changes due to the longer mean
cell residence time induced the cells maintaining the metabolic pathways to produce less by-product but more product, lactic
acid. 相似文献

Summary Velocities of cytoplasmic streaming were measured in internodal cells ofNitella flexilis L. andChara corallina Klein ex Willd. by laser-Doppler-velocimetry to investigate the possibility of non-statolith-based perception of gravity. This was recently proposed, based on a report of gravity-dependent polarity of cytoplasmic streaming. Our measurements revealed large spatial and temporal variation in streaming velocity within a cell, independent of the position of the cell with respect to the direction of gravity. In 58% of the horizontally positioned cells the velocities of acropetal and basipetal streaming, measured at opposite locations in the cell, differed significantly. In 45% of these, basipetal streaming was faster than acropetal streaming. In 60% of the vertically positioned cells however the difference was significant, downward streaming was faster in only 61% of these. When cell positions were changed from vertical to horizontal and vice versa the cells reacted variably. A significant difference between velocities in one direction, before and after the change, was observed in approx. 70% of the measurements, but the velocity was faster in the downward direction, as the second position, in only 70% of the significantly different. The ratio of basipetal to acropetal streaming velocities at opposite locations of a cell was quite variable within groups of cells with a particular orientation (horizontal, normal vertical, inverted vertical). On average, however, the ratio was close to 1.00 in the horizontal position and approx. 1.03 in the normal vertical position (basipetal streaming directed downwards), which indicates a small direct effect of gravity on streaming velocity. Individual cells, however, showed an increased, as well as a decreased, ratio when moved from the horizontal to the vertical position. No discernible effect of media (either Ca2 +-buffered medium or 1.2% agar in distilled water) on the streaming velocities was observed. The above mentioned phenomenon of graviperception is not supported by our data.Abbreviations g

In plants, directional cell expansion greatly contributes to the final shape of mature cells, and thus to organ architecture.
A particularly interesting mode of cell expansion is helical growth in which the growth axis is continuously tilted either
to the right or to the left as the cell grows. Fixed handedness of helical growth raises fundamental questions on the possible
origin of left–right asymmetry. Twisting mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana offer unique opportunities to study the cellular basis of helical growth. Most of the twisting mutants with fixed handedness
have been shown to have defects in microtubule functions, whereas mutants that twist in non-fixed directions appear to be
defective in auxin response or transport. Good correlations have been found between the tilted growth direction and alignment
of cortical microtubule arrays in twisting mutants with compromised microtubule functions. The present challenge is to understand
how particular array patterns are organized during progression of the interphase in rapidly expanding cells. Molecular and
cell biological studies on twisting mutants will lead to better understanding on how wild-type plant cells utilize the microtubule
cytoskeleton to initiate and rigorously maintain straight growth.

A novel perfusion system was developed for high density culture of animal cells. The system consists of an airlift bioreactor, a setting tank and a flat settler. Both the settling tank and flat settler have two connecting pipes for transporting the cells from and back to the reactor, respectively. Thus, the cell flow in the settlers can be controlled in uni-direction, avoiding the countercurrent flow of the cells. During perfusion cultures, the cells firstly settled in the settling tank, then, unsettled cells in the tank were transferred to the flat settler for re-settling. With the application of the system to hybridoma cell cultures, it was found that the maximum viable cell density, monoclonal antibody concentration and average productivity were 1.31 x 107 cells ml-1, 400 mg l-1 and 461 mg l-1 d-1, respectively, which were much higher than those of a batch culture. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results showed a much higher separation efficiency in such a two-step sedimentation system than that in a conventional one-step sedimentation system. In addition, the volumetric ratio of the sedimentation devices to the culture volume in our developed system is much lower, which may be potentially useful on an industrial-scale. 相似文献

Summary The production of a flocculent strain ofLactobacillus plantarum was performed in a high cell density reactor: a fluidized bed reactor (FBR) with a settler and an external cell recirculation. Two variables were assessed, the recirculation rate (R) and the dilution rate (D). The effect of the latter is much more important than the effect of the former in ensuring a quick start up in the flocculation process. The cell volumetric productivities obtained with this system increase directly with dilution rate and recirculation rate. The values of cell volumetric productivities obtained are considerably higher than those obtained in continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) and much higher than in batch reactors. 相似文献

Background
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common forms of heart disease. Recent studies have shown that interleukin (IL)-8 plays a key role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques, but the relationship between the common genetic variants of IL-8 and ACS has not been extensively studied.Methods
This case-control study in the Chinese Han population included 675 patients with ACS and 636 age- and sex-matched controls. We investigated IL-8 polymorphisms and their association with susceptibility to ACS. The investigation was replicated in the second study comprising 360 cases and 360 control subjects. The plasma concentration of IL-8 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
IL-8 −251 A/T polymorphism was associated with increased susceptibility to ACS (P = 0.004; odds ratio = 1.30; 95% confidence interval: 1.12–1.53). The second study yielded similar results. An increased IL-8 level was found in the plasma of acute myocardial infarction patients, suggesting that IL-8 −251 A/T may affect the expression of IL-8.Conclusion
IL-8 −251 A/T polymorphism is associated with ACS risk in the Chinese Han population and the A allele of IL-8 −251 A/T may be an independent predictive factor for ACS. 相似文献8.

We present a proof-of-concept study for production of a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based fusogenic oncolytic virus (OV), rVSV-Newcastle disease virus (NDV), at high cell densities (HCD). Based on comprehensive experiments in 1 L stirred tank reactors (STRs) in batch mode, first optimization studies at HCD were carried out in semi-perfusion in small-scale cultivations using shake flasks. Further, a perfusion process was established using an acoustic settler for cell retention. Growth, production yields, and process-related impurities were evaluated for three candidate cell lines (AGE1.CR, BHK-21, HEK293SF)infected at densities ranging from 15 to 30 × 106 cells/mL. The acoustic settler allowed continuous harvesting of rVSV-NDV with high cell retention efficiencies (above 97%) and infectious virus titers (up to 2.4 × 109 TCID50/mL), more than 4–100 times higher than for optimized batch processes. No decrease in cell-specific virus yield (CSVY) was observed at HCD, regardless of the cell substrate. Taking into account the accumulated number of virions both from the harvest and bioreactor, a 15–30 fold increased volumetric virus productivity for AGE1.CR and HEK293SF was obtained compared to batch processes performed at the same scale. In contrast to all previous findings, formation of syncytia was observed at HCD for the suspension cells BHK 21 and HEK293SF. Oncolytic potency was not affected compared to production in batch mode. Overall, our study describes promising options for the establishment of perfusion processes for efficient large-scale manufacturing of fusogenic rVSV-NDV at HCD for all three candidate cell lines. 相似文献

The effects of changes in fatty acid composition of the cell membrane on different biological functions ofSalmonella typhimurium have been studied with the help of a temperature sensitive fatty acid auxotroph which cannot synthesise unsaturated fatty
acids at high temperature. On being shifted to nonpermissive temperature the cells continue growing for another one and half
to two generations. The rates of protein and DNA syntheses run parallel to the growth rate but the rate of RNA synthesis is
reduced. Further, there is a gradual reduction in the rate of transport of exogenous uridine and thymidine into the soluble
pool. The transport process can be restored by supplementing the growth medium with cis-unsaturated fatty acids but not trans-unsaturated
ones although the growth of the cells is resumed by supplementation with eithercis or trans-unsaturated fatty acids. However, supplementation withtrans, trans-unsaturated fatty acids leads to only partial recovery of the transport process. The rate of oxygen uptake is also
affected in cells grown in the presence of thetrans-unsaturated fatty acids, elaidic acid and palmitelaidic acid. Analysis of cells grown under different fatty acid supplementation
indicate that fatty acid composition of the cell membrane, especially the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids varies
with temperature shift and supplementation of the growth media with fatty acids. 相似文献

Inclined sedimentation for selective retention of viable hybridomas in a continuous suspension bioreactor. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The continuous separation of nonviable hybridoma cells from viable hybridoma cells by using a narrow rectangular channel that is inclined from the vertical has been investigated experimentally. The effectiveness of the settler in selectively retaining viable hybridomas in the bioreactor while permitting the removal of nonviable hybridomas has been shown to depend on the flow rate through the settler. Intermediate flow rates through the settler have been found to provide the highest removal of nonviable hybridomas relative to viable hybridoma retention. At high dilution rates through the chemostat, over 95% of the viable cells could be partitioned to the bottom of the settler while over 50% of the nonviable cells are removed through the top of the settler. This successful separation is due to the significantly larger size of the viable hybridomas than the nonviable ones. A continuous perfusion experiment was performed in which an external inclined settler was used to retain virtually all of the viable hybridomas in the culture, while selectively removing from the culture approximately 20% of the nonviable cells that entered the settler. A stable viable cell concentration of 1.0 x 10(7) cells/mL was achieved, as was an antibody productivity of over 50 micrograms/(mL.day). These represent 3- and 6-fold increases, respectively, over the values obtained from a chemostat culture without cell retention. 相似文献

Selective recycle of viable animal cells by coupling of airlift reactor and cell settler 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A new system for the perfusion culture of animal cells in suspension is described. It consists of an airlift loop reactor and a settling tank for cell retention. Insufficient nutrient and oxygen supply of the cells in the settling tank was prevented by cooling the cell suspension before entering the settler. As a result, the catabolic activity of the cells in the settler was reversibly reduced. Furthermore, the density gradient induced by cooling caused a liquid motion through the settler. Thus, it was not necessary to pump medium containing shear, sensitive cells. With this simple system, it was possible to prduce 2 to 5 g of antibodies in a 5.4-L reactor in continuous runs of 400 to 600 h. The productivity was increased by a factor of 17 and the cell density was 4 times higher in comparison with the corresponding batch system. The cell retention system was found to have the property of separating viable and nonviable cells. With the increasing perfusion rate, dead cells and debris were preferably washed out. For perfusion rates up to 1.3 d(-1), the retention efficiency of the settler was nearly 100% for viable cells; hence, this system may show advantages at the industrial scale. 相似文献

An efficient grafting system for transgenic plant recovery in cotton (Gossypium

A successful transformation program relies on the number of survival plants in soil that can be obtained. Low recovery of transgenic plants is still a key restrictive factor for transgenic cotton production. In order to utilize genetic transformation in cotton breeding program effectively, an efficient grafting system for recovering plants derived from somatic embryogenesis following Agrobacterium infection and kanamycin selection was developed. Various aspects of in vitro grafting were examined in efforts to improve the efficiency of transformant recovery. Using strong seedling rootstocks was the first important step to obtain high rate of successful grafts. Scion size >0.6 cm and seedling rootstock at age of 6–12 days were appropriate for grafting. The successful grafting ratio was higher when using hypocotyls without radicle. Shoot-tip and shoot stem with axillary bud were also suitable for in vitro grafting, which meant we could significantly improve the survival ratio of transgenic plantlets, because one plantlet has a shoot-tip but several axillary buds. Based on our data, the period from in vitro seedling rootstock germination to transplant of grafts to field usually takes one month. Over 90% successful grafting ratio could be obtained under optimal conditions, which represented a significant improvement over currently available methods for recovery of cotton plantlet from somatic embryogenesis after transformation. Ex vitro grafting could also be used for plant recovery, which gave an average of successful grafting ratio of 71.9%. However, this method was strongly affected by environmental factors. 相似文献

Summary A cell-recycled air-lift bioreactor was studied for its performance in cultivation of Mentha piperita cells producing essential oils. The reactor system sustained a stable operation over 30 days with the aid of a cell settler. The maximum cell concentration reached 50% packed cell volume and it occurred at the dilution rate of 0.27 day-1. Volumetric productivity of essential oils in this system was substantially higher than that obtainable from batch culture. 相似文献

The rhabditid nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae and Steinernema feltiae are used in biological control of insect pests. Mass production is done in liquid culture media pre-incubated with their
bacterial symbionts Xenorhabdus nematophila and Xenorhabdus bovienii, respectively, before nematode dauer juveniles (DJs) are inoculated. As a response to food signals produced by the bacterial
symbionts, the DJs exit from the developmentally arrested dauer stage (they recover development) and grow to adults, which
produce DJ offspring. Variable DJ recovery after inoculation often causes process failure due to non-synchronous population
development and low numbers of adult nematodes. This contribution investigated the influence of the bacterial cell density
on DJ recovery and development to adults. At higher density of 1010 bacterial cells ml−1, a higher percentage of DJ recovery was induced, and adults occurred earlier in both Steinernema spp. than at lower density of 109 and 108 cells ml−1. Xenorhabdus symbionts produce phase variants. Recovery in bacteria-free supernatants was lower than in supernatants containing bacterial
cells for both primary and secondary phase Xenorhabdus spp. and lower in secondary than in primary phase supernatants or cell suspensions. In general, recovery was lower for Steinernema feltiae and the time at which 50% of the population had recovered after exposure to the food signal was longer (RT50 = 17.1 h) than for Steinernema carpocapsae (RT50 = 6.6 h). Whereas >90% S. carpocapsae DJs recovered in hemolymph serum of the lepidopteran insect Galleria mellonella, recovery of S. feltiae only reached 31%. Penetration into a host insect prior to exposure to the insect’s food signal did not enhance DJ recovery.
Consequences for liquid culture mass production of the nematodes and differences between species of the genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis are discussed. 相似文献

Use of chlorophyll fluorescence to estimate the effect of photoinhibition in outdoor cultures ofSpirulina platensis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were used to evaluate the effect of temperature on photoinhibition inSpirulina platensis cultures grown in tubular reactors outdoors. Cultures grown at 35 °C during the day time showed a lower reduction in the Fv/Fm ratio as compared to cultures grown at 25 °C. It is demonstrated that the lower temperature photoinhibited cells can undergo a complete recovery once transferred to low light and higher temperature. This recovery does not take place when 100 µg ml-1 chloramphenicol is added to cells. The recovery is light dependent and cells incubated in the dark at low temperature do not show a recovery in the Fv/Fm ratio. The data presented strongly support the hypothesis that photoinhibition takes place in outdoorSpirulina cultures. At the same time it is demonstrated that fluorescence measurements can be used as a fast reliable indication for photoinhibition in outdoor algal cultures.Author for correspondencePublication No. 69 of the Microalgal Biotechnology Laboratory. 相似文献

Summary Three giant horizontal-motion-sensitive (HS) neurons arise in the lobula plate. Their axons terminate ipsilaterally in the medial deutocerebrum and suboesophageal ganglion. Both Golgi impregnations and cobalt fills demonstrate that endings of the two HS cells, representing the upper and middle third of the retina, differ in shape and location from that of the HS cell subtending the lower third of the eye. This dichotomy is reflected by the terminals of a pair of centrifugal horizontal cells (CH), one of which invades lobula plate neuropil subtending the upper two-thirds of the retina. The other overlaps the dendrites of the HS cell subtending the lower one-third of the retina.The HS cells are cobalt-coupled to a variety of complexly arborizing descending neurons. In Musca domestica, gap-junction-like apposition areas have been observed between HS axon collaterals and descending neuron dendrites. The three HS cells also share conventional chemical synapses with postsynaptic elements, which include the dendritic spines of descending neurons. Unlike the giant vertical-motion-sensitive neurons of the lobula plate, whose relationships with descending neurons appear to be relatively simple, the horizontal cells end on a large number of descending neurons where they comprise one of several different populations of terminals. These descending neurons terminate within various centres of the thoracic ganglia, including neuropil supplying leg, neck, and flight muscle. 相似文献

Two-year-old Metasequoia glyptostroboides and 3-month-old Aesculus turbinata seedlings were tilted at a 45° angle to induce compression wood formation on the lower side of the former species and tension wood on the upper side of the latter. Two weeks later, the seedlings were tilted in an opposite direction at 45° so that the upper and lower sides changed to each other. This reverse tilting was kept for 7 weeks for M. glyptostroboides and 6 weeks for A. turbinata. The seedlings were sampled and analyzed at intervals throughout each experimental period so that an ethylene evolution kinetic was monitored. Ethylene evolution from the cambial region of the upper and lower sides of tilted stems was measured separately by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. Xylem production expressed as wood area during each experimental period was microscopically determined. In both tilting and reverse tilting periods, the rates of ethylene evolution from the lower side of M. glyptostroboides and the upper side of A. turbinata, where xylem production was accelerated and compression or tension wood formation was induced, had increased to high levels, whereas those from the opposite sides had either remained low (in tilting period) or rapidly recovered to low levels (in reverse tilting period). The cambial activity quantified by wood formation, including reaction wood, in both species showed the same tendency as ethylene evolution. The stem side with vigorous ethylene evolution, xylem development and reaction wood formation reversed with the reversal of tilting orientation. The roles of accelerated ethylene evolution in reaction wood formation in the tilted seedlings of gymnosperm and angiosperm trees are compared and discussed.This work was presented at the 5th Pacific Region Wood Anatomy Conference, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, 9–14 September 2002 相似文献

The dipteran parasitoids Therobia leonidei and Homotrixa alleni (Tachinidae) use acoustic cues to locate their calling tettigoniid (Ensifera, Orthoptera) hosts. The sexually dimorphic tympanal
organs of both fly species are located at the prosternum. For comparison a homologous chordotonal organ in the non-hearing
fly Phormia regina, Meigen (Phoridae) is also described. The scolopidial sense organs of the ears have approximately 180 sensory cells in Th. leonidei and 250 cells in H. alleni. Interspecific analysis indicates that the cell number and arrangement might be genus specific in Tachinidae. The mononematic
scolopidia, each with one sensory cell, are of different sizes and insert at the tympanal membrane. Large scolopidial units
(diameter of sensory cells up to 50 μm) extend longitudinally from the centre of the sensory organ towards the ligament, whereas
small units (sensory cell diameter up to 10 μm) are arranged sequentially within the sensory organ. This arrangement is discussed
to be a possible basis for frequency discrimination. The ultrastructure of the scolopidia is similar in the hearing and non-hearing
flies. In both groups, the majority of scolopales has a diameter from 2 to 2.9 μm, although hearing species have additionally
wider scolopales. The homologous chordotonal organ of Ph. regina consists of approximately 55 sensory cells of uniform direction. The data are discussed in comparison to the ears of other
Diptera. 相似文献

Apoptotic cell death was observed in suspension cultures of Taxus chinensis var. mairei under normal cultivation conditions by using microscopy, total DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and in situ end-labeling of fragmented DNA. The morphological and biochemical changes of cells occurred mainly in the non-dividing cell clusters, indicating that the T. chinensis cells died mainly by apoptosis. There exists a close relationship between cell apoptosis and Taxol formation. Taxol concentration increased with the increase in content of apoptotic cells and reached a maximum (14.2 mg l–1) after 23 days of culture, corresponding to a maximum ratio of apoptotic to total cells of about 13%. 相似文献

Spodoptera frugiperda Sf-9 insect cells that undergo apoptosis by the treatment of apoptosis-inducing reagents were individually determined as `comet cells' having a tail of fragmented DNA during single cell gel electrophoresis, the fragmented DNA being migrated from the cells under an electric field of the electrophoresis. However, the apoptosis induction of the cells infected with a recombinant strain of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) was blocked, probably by an intrinsic anti-apoptotic p35 gene of the virus, because the virus-infected cells did not have a tail of fragmented DNA on a single cell gel electrophoresis. The virus-infected cells were individually discriminated from non-infected cells by determining the anti-apoptotic nature of the cells. At higher multiplicity of infection and under better aeration conditions of virus-infected cultures, the apoptosis-suppressive ratio, which represented a ratio of non-comet cells, was increased more rapidly. This apoptosis-suppressive behavior was a good benchmark for assessing successful infection of insect cells with AcMNPV during very early infectious period and forecasting the subsequent production of recombinant proteins. 相似文献
