Pseudomonas putida KT2440 grew on glucose at a specific rate of 0.48 h−1 but accumulated almost no poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA). Subsequent nitrogen limitation on nonanoic acid resulted in the
accumulation of only 27% medium-chain-length PHA (MCL-PHA). In contrast, exponential nonanoic acid-limited growth (μ = 0.15 h−1) produced 70 g l−1 biomass containing 75% PHA. At a higher exponential feed rate (μ = 0.25 h−1), the overall productivity was increased but less biomass (56 g l−1) was produced due to higher oxygen demand, and the biomass contained less PHA (67%). It was concluded that carbon-limited
exponential feeding of nonanoic acid or related substrates to cultures of P. putida KT2440 is a simple and highly effective method of producing MCL-PHA. Nitrogen limitation is unnecessary. 相似文献

Pseudomonas putida utilizes cyanide as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. Agar, alginate, and carrageenan were screened as the encapsulating
matrices for P. putida. Alginate-immobilized cells of P. putida degraded sodium cyanide (NaCN) more efficiently than non-immobilized cells or cells immobilized in agar or carrageenan. The
end products of biodegradation of cyanide were identified as ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2). These products changed the medium pH. In bioreactors, the rate of cyanide degradation increased with an increase in the
rate of aeration. Maximum utilization of cyanide was observed at 200 ml min−1 of aeration. Immobilized cells of P. putida degraded cyanides, cyanates and thiocyanates to NH3 and CO2. Use of Na[14C]-CN showed that 70% of carbon of Na[14C]-CN was converted into 14CO2 and only 10% was associated with the cell biomass. The substrate-dependent kinetics indicated that the K
m and V
max values of P. putida for the substrate, NaCN were 14 mM and 29 nmol of oxygen consumed mg protein−1 min−1 respectively.

Batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the biodegradation rates of limonene, α-pinene, γ-terpinene, terpinolene and
α-terpineol at 23 °C under aerobic conditions. Biodegradation was demonstrated by the depletion of monoterpene mass, CO2 production and a corresponding increase in biomass. Monoterpene degradation in liquid cultures devoid of soil followed Monod
kinetics. The maximum specific growth rate (μmax) was 0.02 h−1 and 0.06 h−1 and the half-velocity constant (K
s ) varied from 32 mg/l to 3 mg/l for the limonene and α-terpineol respectively. The recovery of monoterpenes by solvent extraction
from autoclaved and azide-amended soil-slurry samples decreased over time and ranged from 69% to 73% for 120 h of incubation
period. Although a significant fraction of monoterpene hydrocarbon could not be extracted, mineralization of these compounds
in the soil-slurry systems took place, as shown by CO2 production. The soil-normalized degradation rates for the hydrocarbon monoterpenes ranged from 0.6 μg g−1 h−1 to 2.1 μg g−1 h−1. A kinetic model – which combined monoterpene biodegradation in the liquid phase and net desorption – was developed and applied
to data obtained from soil-slurry assays.

A thermostable lipase was produced in continuous cultivation of a newly isolated thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain IHI-91 growing optimally at 65 °C. Lipase activity decreased with increasing dilution rate while lipase productivity
showed a maximum of 340 U l−1 h−1 at a dilution rate of 0.4 h−1. Lipase productivity was increased by 50% compared to data from batch fermentations. Up to 70% of the total lipase activity
measured was associated to cells and by-products or residual substrate. Kinetic and stoichiometric parameters for the utilisation
of olive oil were determined. The maximal biomass output method led to a saturation constant K
S of 0.88 g/l. Both batch growth data and a washout experiment yielded a maximal specific growth rate, μmax, of 1.0 h−1. Oxygen uptake rates of up to 2.9 g l−1h−1 were calculated and the yield coefficient, Y
X/O, was determined to be 0.29 g dry cell weight/g O2. From an overall material balance the yield coefficient, Y
X/S, was estimated to be 0.60 g dry cell weight/g olive oil.

Cometabolic biodegradation of methyl t-butyl ether by Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown on pentane 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A bacterial strain identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from a soil consortium able to mineralize pentane. P. aeruginosa could metabolize methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) in the presence of pentane as the sole carbon and energy source. The carbon balance for this strain, grown
on pentane, was established in order to determine the fate of pentane and the growth yield (0.9 g biomass/g pentane). An inhibition
model for P. aeruginosa grown on pentane was proposed. Pentane had an inhibitory effect on growth of P. aeruginosa, even at a concentration as low as 85 μg/l. This resulted in the calculation of the following kinetic parameters (μmax = 0.19 h−1, K
s = 2.9 μg/l, K
i = 3.5 mg/l). Finally a simple model of MTBE degradation was derived in order to predict the quantity of MTBE able to be degraded
in batch culture in the presence of pentane. This model depends only on two parameters: the concentrations of pentane and
MTBE.

Biodegradation of BTEX by a microbial consortium isolated from a closed municipal landfill was studied using respirometric
techniques. The kinetics of biodegradation were estimated from experimental oxygen uptake data using a nonlinear parameter
estimation technique. All of the six compounds were rapidly degraded by the microbial culture and no substrate inhibition
was observed at the concentration levels examined (200 mg L−1 as COD). Microbial growth and contaminant degradation were adequately described by the Monod equation. Considerable differences
were observed in the rates of BTEX biodegradation as seen from the estimates of the kinetic parameters. A three-fold variation
was seen in the values of the maximum specific growth rate, μmax. The highest value of μmax was 0.389 h−1 for p-xylene while o-xylene was characterized by a μmax value of 0.14 h−1, the lowest observed in this study. The half saturation coefficient, K
s, and the yield coefficient, Y, varied between 1.288–4.681 mg L−1 and 0.272–0.645 mg mg−1, respectively. Benzene and o-xylene exhibited higher resistance to biodegradation while toluene and p-xylene were rapidly degraded. Ethylbenzene and m-xylene were degraded at intermediate rates. In biodegradation experiments with a multiple substrate matrix, substrate depletion
was slower than in single substrate experiments, suggesting an inhibitory nature of substrate interaction.

The long-term performance and stability of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 cultures, a toluene-sensitive strain harboring the genes responsible for toluene biodegradation in the archetypal plasmid
pWW0, was investigated in a chemostat bioreactor functioning under real case operating conditions. The process was operated
at a dilution rate of 0.1 h−1 under toluene loading rates of 259 ± 23 and 801 ± 78 g m−3 h−1 (inlet toluene concentrations of 3.5 and 10.9 g m−3, respectively). Despite the deleterious effects of toluene and its degradation intermediates, the phenotype of this sensitive
P. putida culture rapidly recovered from a 95% Tol− population at day 4 to approx. 100% Tol+ cells from day 13 onward, sustaining elimination capacities of 232 ± 10 g m−3 h−1 at 3.5 g Tol m−3 and 377 ± 13 g m−3 h−1 at 10.9 g Tol m−3, which were comparable to those achieved by highly tolerant strains such as P. putida DOT T1E and P. putida F1 under identical experimental conditions. Only one type of Tol− variant, harboring a TOL-like plasmid with a 38.5 kb deletion (containing the upper and meta operons for toluene biodegradation), was identified. 相似文献

A novel method for the determination of microbial growth kinetics on hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOC) has been
developed. A stirred tank reactor was operated as a fed-batch system to which the VOC was continuously fed via the gas phase,
assuring a constant VOC concentration in the mineral medium. A flow of air was saturated with the VOC, and then mixed with
a further flow of air, to obtain a predetermined VOC concentration. Thus, different VOC concentrations in the mineral medium
could be obtained by altering the VOC concentration in the feed gas. The growth kinetics of Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 on 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) and of Pseudomonas sp. strain JS150 on MonoChloroBenzene (MCB) were assessed using this method. The growth of strain JS150 was strongly inhibited
at MCB concentrations higher than 160 mg l−1, and the results were fitted using a piecewise function. The growth kinetics of strain GJ10 were described by the Luong model
where maximum growth rate μmax = 0.12 h−1, substrate saturation constant K
S = 7.8 mg l−1, and maximum substrate concentration S
m (above which growth is completely inhibited) = 1080 mg l−1. Varying nitrogen and oxygen flows enabled the effect of oxygen concentration on the growth kinetics of Pseudomonas JS150 to be determined.

Mode of depolymerisation of hemicellulose by various mannanases and xylanases in relation to their ability to bleach softwood pulp 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Endo-mannanases and endo-xylanases cleave different heteromannans and xylans yielding mainly dimers and trimers of the corresponding
sugars as end-products. However, in the early stages of hydrolysis, four purified mannanases and four xylanases from fungal
and bacterial origin, examined in this study, showed a different pattern of released oligomers (determined up to the pentamers).
Furthermore, some of these enzymes showed a preference for cleaving the polysaccharides in the middle of the chain while others
acted more at the end. When the increase in the specific fluidity of mannan and xylan solutions per reducing sugar released
(K
v) was measured against the bleaching effect of the enzymes on softwood kraft pulp, a correlation was found. A xylanase from
Penicillium simplicissimum (K
v = 0.15 l mPa−1s−1g−1) and a mannanase from Sclerotium rolfsii (K
v = 0.12 l mPa−1s−1g−1) applied in a O(QX)P bleaching sequence (O = oxygen delignification, X = treatment with hemicellulolytic enzymes, Q = chelation
of metals, P = treatment with hydrogen peroxide in alkaline solution) gave a high brightness increase of 3.0% and 1.9% ISO
respectively. A less significant brightness increase was obtained with enzymes showing lower K
v values, such as a xylanase from Schizophyllum commune (Kv = 0.051 l mPa−1s−1g−1, 0.2% ISO) and a bacterial mannanase (K
v = 0.061 l mPa−1s−1g−1,0.5% ISO).

The kinetics of biomass formation, D-xylose utilization, and mixed substrate utilization were determined in a chemostat using the yeast Candida shehatae. The maximum growth rate of C. shehatae grown aerobically on D-xylose was 0.42 h−1 and the Monod constant, K
s, was 0.06 g L−1. The biomass yield, Y
{X/S}, ranged from 0.40 to 0.50 g g−1 over a dilution rate range of 0.2–0.3 h−1, when C. shehatae was grown on pure D-xylose. Mixtures of D-xylose and glucose (∼1 : 1) were simultaneously utilized over a dilution rate from 0.15 to 0.35 h−1 at pH 3.5 and 4.5, but pH 3.5 reduced μmax and reduced the dilution rate range over which D-xylose was utilized in the presence of glucose. At pH 4.5, μmax was not reduced with the mixed sugar feed and the overall or lumped K
s value was not significantly increased (0.058 g L−1
vs 0.06 g L−1), when compared to a pure D-xylose feed. Kinetic data indicate that C. shehatae is an excellent candidate for chemostat production of value added products from renewable carbon sources, since simultaneous
mixed substrate utilization was observed over a wide range of growth rates on a 1 : 1 mixture of glucose and D-xylose.

BTEX catabolism interactions in a toluene-acclimatized biofilter 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BTEX substrate interactions for a toluene-acclimatized biofilter consortium were investigated. Benzene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene removal efficiencies were determined at a loading rate of 18.07 g m−3 h−1 and retention times of 0.5–3.0 min. This was also repeated for toluene in a 1:1 (m/m) ratio mixture (toluene: benzene, ethylbenzene,
or xylene ) with each of the other compounds individually to obtain a final total loading of 18.07 g m−3 h−1. The results obtained were modelled using Michaelis–Menten kinetics and an explicit finite difference scheme to generate
v
max and K
m parameters. The v
max/K
m ratio (a measure of the catalytic efficiency, or biodegradation capacity, of the reactor) was used to quantify substrate
interactions occurring within the biofilter reactor without the need for free-cell suspended and monoculture experimentation.
Toluene was found to enhance the catalytic efficiency of the reactor for p-xylene, while catabolism of all the other compounds was inhibited competitively by the presence of toluene. The toluene-acclimatized
biofilter was also able to degrade all of the other BTEX compounds, even in the absence of toluene. The catalytic efficiency
of the reactor for compounds other than toluene was in the order: ethylbenzene>benzene>o-xylene>m-xylene>p-xylene. The catalytic efficiency for toluene was reduced by the presence of all other tested BTEX compounds, with the greatest
inhibitory effect being caused by the presence of benzene, while o-xylene and p-xylene caused the least inhibitory effect. This work illustrated that substrate interactions can be determined directly from
biofilter reactor results without the need for free-cell and monoculture experimentation.

Kinetics of styrene biodegradation by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pseudomonas</Emphasis> sp. E-93486 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The research into kinetics of styrene biodegradation by bacterial strain Pseudomonas sp. E-93486 coming from VTT Culture Collection (Finland) was presented in this work. Microbial growth tests in the presence
of styrene as the sole carbon and energy source were performed both in batch and continuous cultures. Batch experiments were
conducted for initial concentration of styrene in the liquid phase changed in the range of 5–90 g m−3. The Haldane model was found to be the best to fit the kinetic data, and the estimated constants of the equation were: μ
m = 0.1188 h−1, K
S = 5.984 mg l−1, and K
i = 156.6 mg l−1. The yield coefficient mean value
Y\textxs\textapp Y_{\text{xs}}^{\text{app}} for the batch culture was 0.72 gdry cells weight (gsubstrate)−1. The experiments conducted in a chemostat at various dilution rates (D = 0.035–0.1 h−1) made it possible to determine the value of the coefficient for maintenance metabolism m
d = 0.0165 h−1 and the maximum yield coefficient value
Y\textxs\textM = 0.913 Y_{\text{xs}}^{\text{M}} = 0.913 . Chemostat experiments confirmed the high value of yield coefficient
Y\textxs\textapp Y_{\text{xs}}^{\text{app}} observed in the batch culture. The conducted experiments showed high activity of the examined strain in the styrene biodegradation
process and a relatively low sensitivity to inhibition of its growth at higher concentrations of styrene in the solution.
Such exceptional features of Pseudomonas sp. E-93486 make this bacterial strain the perfect candidate for technical applications. 相似文献

Summary Cell growth and phenol degradation kinetics were studied at 10°C for a psychrotrophic bacterium, Pseudomonas putida Q5. The batch studies were conducted for initial phenol concentrations, So, ranging from 14 to 1000 mg/1. The experimental data for 14<=So<=200 mg/1 were fitted by non-linear regression to the integrated Haldane substrate inhibition growth rate model. The values of the kinetic parameters were found to be: m=0.119 h–1, K
S=5.27 mg/1 and K
I=377 mg/1. The yield factor of dry biomass from substrate consumed was Y=0.55. Compared to mesophilic pseudomonads previously studied, the psychrotrophic strain grows on and degrades phenol at rates that are ca. 65–80% lower. However, use of the psychrotrophic microorganism may still be economically advantageous for waste-water treatment processes installed in cold climatic regions, and in cases where influent waste-water temperatures exhibit seasonal variation in the range 10–30°C.Nomenclature

Actual and potential rates of hydrogen photoproduction by continuous culture of the purple non-sulphur bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The influence of (NH4)2SO4 concentration and dilution rate (D) on actual and potential H2 photoproduction has been studied in ammonium-limited chemostat cultures of Rhodobacter capsulatus B10. The actual H2 production in a photobioreactor was maximal (approx. 80 ml h−1 l−1) at D = 0.06 h−1 and 4 mM (NH4)2SO4. However, it was lower than the potential H2 evolution (calculated from hydrogen evolution rates in incubation vials), which amounted to 100–120 ml h−1 l−1 at D = 0.03–0.08 h−1. Taking into account the fact that H2 production in the photobioreactor under these conditions was not limited by light or lactate, another limiting (inhibiting)
factor should be sought. One possibility is an inhibition of H2 production by the H2 accumulated in the gas phase. This is apparent from the non-linear kinetics of H2 evolution in the vials or from its inhibition by the addition of H2; initial rates were restored in both cases after the vials had been refilled with argon. The actual H2 production in the photobioreactor at D = 0.06 h−1 was shown to increase from approximately 80 ml h−1 l−1 to approximately 100 ml h−1 l−1 under an argon flow at 100 ml min−1. Under maximal H2 production rates in the photobioreactor, up to 30% of the lactate feedstock was utilised for H2 production and 50% for biomass synthesis.

A fluidized-bed reactor (FBR) was used to enrich an aerobic chlorophenol-degrading microbial culture. Long-term continuous-flow
operation with low effluent concentrations selected oligotrophic microorganisms producing good-quality effluent for pentachlorophenol(PCP)-contaminated
water. PCP biodegradation kinetics was studied using this FBR enrichment culture. The results from FBR batch experiments were
modeled using a modified Haldane equation, which resulted in the following kinetic constants: q
max = 0.41 mg PCP mg protein−1 day−1, K
S = 16 μg l−1, K
i = 5.3 mg l−1, and n = 3.5. These results show that the culture has a high affinity for PCP but is also inhibited by relatively low PCP concentrations
(above 1.1 mg PCP l−1). This enrichment culture was maintained over 1 year of continuous-flow operation with PCP as the sole source of carbon and
energy. During continuous-flow operation, effluent concentrations below 2 μg l−1 were achieved at 268 min hydraulic retention time (t
HR) and 2.5 mg PCP l−1 feed concentration. An increase in loading rate by decreasing t
HR did not significantly deteriorate the effluent quality until a t
HR decrease from 30 min to 21 min resulted in process failure. Recovery from process failure was slow. Decreasing the feed PCP
concentration and increasing t
HR resulted in an improved process recovery.

max was 678 mmol kgdry weight
−1 h−1.␣Fructose oxidation was coupled very efficiently to caffeate reduction by an alteration in the fructose fermentation so that
acetate was no longer produced.

A novel bioreactor called pulsed plate bioreactor (PPBR) with cell immobilised glass particles in the interplate spaces was
used for continuous aerobic biodegradation of phenol present in wastewater. A mathematical model consisting of mass balance
equations and accounting for simultaneous external film mass transfer, internal diffusion and reaction is presented to describe
the steady-state degradation of phenol by Nocardia hydrocarbonoxydans (Nch.) in this bioreactor. The growth of Nch. on phenol was found to follow Haldane substrate inhibition model. The biokinetic parameters at a temperature of 30 ± 1 °C
and pH at 7.0 ± 0.1 are μ
m = 0.5397 h−1, K
S = 6.445 mg/L and K
I = 855.7 mg/L. The mathematical model was able to predict the reactor performance, with a maximum error of 2% between the
predicted and experimental percentage degradations of phenol. The biofilm internal diffusion rate was found to be the slowest
step in biodegradation of phenol in a PPBR. 相似文献

The degradation of low concentrations of 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (1,3-DCP) and related halohydrins by whole cells and cell-free
extracts of soil bacteria has been investigated. Three bacteria (strains A1, A2, A4), isolated from the same soil sample,
were distinguished on the basis of cell morphology, growth kinetics and haloalcohol dehalogenase profiles. Strain A1, probably
an Agrobacterium sp., dehalogenated 1,3-DCP with the highest specific activity (0.33 U mg protein−1) and also had the highest affinity for 1,3-DCP (K
m, 0.1 mM). Non-growing cells of this bacterium dehalogenated low concentrations of 1,3-DCP with a first-order rate constant
(k
1) of 1.13 h−1 . The presence of a non-dehalogenating bacterium, strain G1 (tentatively identified as Pseudomonas mesophilius), did not enhance the dehalogenation rate of low 1,3-DCP concentrations. However, the mixed-species consortium of strains
A1 and G1 had greater stability than the mono-species culture at DCP concentrations above 1.0 gl−1.

A fermentation process in Escherichia coli for production of supercoiled plasmid DNA for use as a DNA vaccine was developed using an automated feed-back control nutrient
feeding strategy based on dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH. The process was further automated through a computer-aided data
processing system to regulate the cell growth rate by controlling interactively both the nutrient feed rate and agitation
speed based on DO. The process increased the total yield of the plasmid DNA by approximately 10-fold as compared to a manual
fed-batch culture. The final cell yield from the automated process reached 60 g L−1 of dry cell weight (OD600 = 120) within 24 h. A plasmid DNA yield of 100 mg L−1 (1.7 mg g−1 cell weight) was achieved by using an alkaline cell lysis method. Plasmid yield was confirmed using High Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Because cells had been grown under carbon-limiting conditions in the automated process,
acetic acid production was minimal (below 0.01 g L−1) throughout the fed-batch stage. In contrast, in the manual process, an acid accumulation rate as high as 0.36 g L−1 was observed, presumably due to the high nutrient feed rates used to maintain a maximum growth rate. The manual fed-batch
process produced a low cell density averaging 10–12 g L−1 (OD600 = 25–30) and plasmid yields of 5–8 mg L−1 (approximately 0.7 mg g−1 cells). The improved plasmid DNA yields in the DO- and pH-based feed-back controlled process were assumed to be a result
of a combination of increased cell density, reduced growth rate (μ) from 0.69 h−1 to 0.13 h−1 and the carbon/nitrogen limitation in the fed-batch stage. The DO- and pH-based feed-back control, fed-batch process has
proven itself to be advantageous in regulating cell growth rate to achieve both high cell density and plasmid yield without
having to use pure oxygen. The process was reproducible in triplicate fermentations at both 7-L and 80-L scales.

The synthesis of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA) by Pseudomonas putida KT2442 growing on long-chain fatty acids was studied in continuous cultures. The effects of the growth rate on the biomass
and polymer concentration were determined and it was found that the PHA concentrations decreased with increasing growth rates.
The highest volumetric productivity was 0.13 g PHA l-1 h-1 at a specific growth rate (μ) of 0.1 h-1. The molecular mass of the polymer remained constant at all growth rates but changes in the monomeric composition of the
PHA synthesized were observed. Variation of the carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio of the substrate feed at μ=0.1 h-1 revealed optimal PHA formation at C/N=20 mol/mol. In order to optimize PHA production P. putida KT2442 was cultivated to high cell densities in oxygen-limited continuous cultures. In this way a maximum biomass concentration
of 30 g/l containing approximately 23% PHA was achieved. This corresponds to a volumetric productivity of 0.69 g l-1 h-1.
