Candida lipolytica was cultured batchwise using n-hexadecane as the main carbon source. Biomass production, n-hexadecane consumption, oxygen consumption, and carbon dioxide evolution were measured to follow the fermentation. The consistency of the measured data was examined using integrated and instantaneous available electron and carbon balances. Values of the “true” growth yield, ηmax, and maintenance coefficient, me were estimated using three different sets of data (biomass and n-hexadecane, oxygen and biomass, and CO2 and biomass), and the results were compared with estimates obtained from literature data. Hysteresis patterns were observed in plots of specific rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide evolution versus specific growth rate. 相似文献

Summary Growth coefficients ofZymomonas mobilis were compared in glucose-limited chemostat culture using a complex medium and a defined minimal growth medium at non inhibitory concentrations of ethanol. Under carbon and energy limited conditions in the complex medium containing yeast extract, the max. molar growth yield (YG
max) and maintenance energy coefficient (me) were 10.8 g cell/mol glucose and 8.3 mmol glu/g cell/hr, respectively. Glucose-limited growth in the minimal medium with NH4Cl as nitrogen source promoted slight energetic uncoupling, as reflected in the decrease in the maximum growth yield. The growth yield with respect to calcium pantothenate was calculated to be 1.4×104 g cell/g Ca-pantothenate. However, pantothenate-limited growth did not result in a decrease in growth yield nor an increase in the specific rate of glucose catabolism. Steady-state growth measurements failed to confirm the previously held view of Belaïchet al. (1972) that pantothenate deficiency induces energetic uncoupling inZymomonas. 相似文献

Analysis of the respiro-fermentive growth of a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, DSM 2155 on glucose, in a simulated 5-phase feeding strategy of fedbatch cultures executed on the Universal BIoprocess CONtrol (UBICON) system, was carried out. There was a good agreement between the estimated and the simulated values of specific growth rates. In this study, which was designed to span 0.20–0.23 h–1 growth rates before returning to lower growth rates, the critical dilution rate at which the switch between purely oxidative and respiro-fermentative growth takes was not observed. The biomass yield, specific substrate uptake and O2 consumption rates as well as the consistency of the data using both carbon and available electron balances were examined. A high average value of true biomass energetic yield, max = 0.707, and a low value of maintenance coefficient, me = 0.0114 h–1, were obtained indicating that the organism was in no danger from the ethanol produced as a high-density fermentation with a yeast concentration above 54 g 1–1 was possible within a period of 24 h. The yeast produced also had good dough-leavening characteristics. Thus it is possible to operate a yeast plant without resorting to using respiratory quotient, which may be problematic, as the controlling parameter. 相似文献

The growth energetic efficiency (η) of two mycelial forms of Thielavia terrestris (pellets and diffused form) was studied by different methods. η Values determined by the pulse method are similar for the two forms, but the values determined by C balance for pellets were lower than those for diffused mycelium. These balance data prove that pellets yield more extracellular products than the diffused mycelium form, which is also confirmed by experimental data for different amounts of carbon in the culture fluid. Growth efficiency can be determined by various methods based on the principles of mass and energy balance. The estimates most frequently used are the biomass and substrate balances. However, growth efficiency determination according to oxygen balance (particularly by the pulse method) is simpler and more accurate; as it makes possible the immediate fixation of changes in the physiological condition of microorganisms and the determination of complex substrate utilization efficiency [1]. Earlier the possible use of this method for evaluating the growth efficiency of heterotrophic bacteria [2], hyphalic and yeast forms of microscopic fungi [3] was shown. The aim of the present study is the comparative investigation of the growth efficiency of two mycelial structures (hyphalic and pellets) by different methods as well as by pulse additions. 相似文献

This paper examines the microbial denitrification of a medium containing acetate as C-source and of an industrial effluent containing volatile fatty acids as main components a ndphenolics as minor components. Values for m and Ymax are represented. It has been concluded that the maintenance coefficient comprises also those processes not involved in the maintenance metabolism of the cells. The least fraction of the rate of substrate utilization of this extended maintenance metabolism has been expressed by m · 100/qmax. From the values of Ymax a P/2e-ratio < 1 and the equation of cell synthesis have been evaluated. 相似文献

The nature of the patterns of elimimation of chromosomal aberrations in both root and shoot has been studied in both the species of P. canariensis Linn (2n = 12) and P. minor Retz (2n = 28) after irradiating their dry seeds with filtered and unfiltered X-rays.Doses used are 10 kR and 30 kR filtered X-rays and 10 kR and 20 kR unfiltered X-rays.The elimination curves in both root and shoot have been fitted to the equation N1 = N0e?KT for both the species. The pattern of elimination for each type of aberrations was found to be exponential in both root and shoot. 相似文献

Summary When more than the minimum number of variables are measured, and measurement error is taken into account, the results of parameter estimation depend on which of the measured variables are selected for this purpose. The reparameterization of Pirt's models for growth produces multiresponse models with common parameters. By using the covariate adjustment technique, a unit variate linear model with covariates is obtained. This allows a combined point and interval estimates of biomass energetic yield and maintenance coefficient to be obtained using standard multiple regression programmes. When this method was applied using form I and form II of the Pirt's models, good combined estimates were obtained and compared. Using data from the literature for Candida lipolytica produced reliable results. However, for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which has been known to produce intermediate products, a modified Pirt's model is required for a good estimate of the biomass energetic yield.Nomenclature

The elemental balance equation of microbial growth on carbon substrate of generalized composition is given. Yield of dried bio-mass per oxygenY o is calculated. Yield per oxygenY o is found to be determined by two factors—carbon yieldy and the reducing power of substrate γ s . The mode of dependence ofY o on these two quantities is studied. The energetic interpretation ofy and γ s is given. The dependence ofY o ony and γ s is shown to be equivalent to the dependence on a single factor, the energetie yield of growth η. Fermentor productivity increases with growth of η, the increase being directly proportional if η is not large (up to 25%) and becoming steeper if η is larger. The restrictions on a range of workable carbon yields during growth on various substrates are found. Metabolic heat generation of fermentor is shown to be proportional to oxygen consumption and to average 3.38 kcal per gram of O2 irrespective of substrate and microorganism used. 相似文献

The influence of photoadaptive state on the spectral dependency of the maximum quantum yield for carbon fixation was determined for two red tide dinoflagellates, Heterocapsa pygmaea Loeblich, Schmidt, et Sherley and Prorocentrum minimum Pavillard. Cultures were acclimated to green, blue, red, and white light. The spectral dependency in the light-limited slope of the photosynthesis–irradiance curves (α) was measured with carbon action spectra that, when divided by the spectrally weighted absorption coefficient, provided estimates of the maximum quantum yield (φmax) for carbon fixation. Values of φmax varied with wavelength within each culture condition as well as between different culture conditions. The degree to which the spectral dependency in φmax was influenced by the presence of photoprotective carotenoids and/or energy imbalances between photosystems I and II was assessed for both dinoflagellates. The impact of photoprotective pigmentation on the spectral dependency of φmax was most significant for cells grown under high light conditions reflecting the enrichment of diadinoxanthin. Energy imbalances between the photosystems was assessed by quantifying enhancement effects on spectral φmax in the presence of background illumination. Under our experimental conditions, enhancement effects on carbon action spectra were evident for H. pygmaea under nearly all growth conditions but were not detectable for P. minimum under any growth condition. We hypothesize that sensitivity to enhancement effects reflected differences in the structure of the photosynthetic machinery of these two peridinin-containing dinoflagellates. While measurements of φmax are sensitive to the color of the light within an incubator, the relative impact on the spectral dependency of a was less than the wavelength dependency associated with the cellular absorption properties. Finally we used our data to validate an approach proposed by others to aid in the correction of photosynthetic measurements where the in situ spectral light field cannot be easily mimicked. The average error using this approach was 8%, which was significantly less than the error associated with ignoring the spectral dependency in α. 相似文献

Citric acid (CA) is mainly produced in a biotechnological process using Aspergillus niger. In this process, large amounts of wastes have to be removed. Since the use of Yarrowia lipolytica for CA production is an environmental compatible alternative method, the CA production was optimized in regard to growth temperature and pH as well as substrate and product inhibition. The highest value of the maximum specific growth rate at pH 6.5 was found to be μmax = 0.192 h–1, whereas the largest amount of CA of 24.91 g/L as well as the highest selectivity of the bioprocess (89.9 % CA) and the maximum yield (0.22 gCA/gGlucose) were obtained at pH 6.0. During the growth phase, the temperature optimum was found to be in the range of 30–34 °C (μmax = 0.132 h–1). Nevertheless, the highest concentration of CA during the production phase was obtained at 30 °C (41 g/L CA, 93.1 % CA, 0.55 gCA/gglucose). In studying the substrate inhibition of the process, a clear tendency of decrease in the maximum specific growth rate was detected when the initial glucose concentration was increased from 50 g/L (μmax = 0.17 h–1) to 200 g/L (μmax = 0.055 h–1). The addition of 120 g/L CA to the culture broth at the start of the production phase reduced the production of CA from 32.1 g/L to 7.4 g/L. 相似文献

Citrobacter freundii was grown aerobically in a chemostat on a mineral medium witn galactose or glucose as carbon and energy sources under limitation
by carbon or nitrogen source respectively. At various specific growth rates ranging from 7 to 95% μmax the culture in steady state was analysed and growth yield, specific metabolic rate of substrate utilization, intracellular
concentration of pyruvate, ATP, ADP, AMP and energy charge were determined and plotted as functions of dilution rate. In all
four types of experiments the physiological state of cells remained practically independent of dilution rate up toD = 0.6 μmax, and at a given specific growth rate nearly independent on μmax and type of limitation. At approximatelyD = 0.6 μmax, which is close to the maximum output dilution rateD
m, the physiological state of the cells changed: growth yields decreased and intr cellular pyruvate and adenylates concentrations
increased. Consequently, in a given medium two dilution rates exist at which growth rate dx/dt is the same but the physiology
of the population is quite different. 相似文献

Effect of different substrates and their preliminary treatment on cyclodextrin production 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary Various kinds of substrates were tested for cyclodextrin production with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus megaterium. The enzyme formed cyclodextrin from different kinds of starch, dextrins, amylose, and amylopectin. However, the highest degree of conversion was obtained from starch. Corn starch appeared to be the best substrate – the cyclodextrin yield was 50.9%. The effect of molecular mass and preliminary treatment of starch with α-amylase on the CD yield was investigated. It was proved that CGTase preferred native starch with high molecular mass and low dextrose equivalent. The preliminary treatment with α-amylase occurred to be inefficient and unnecessary since it did not lead to an increase in the CD yield. Some of the substrates were treated with pullulanase. The effect of debranching was highest in the case of corn starch: the cyclodextrin yield increased by 10%. 相似文献

The effect of tannins was investigated on growth and α-amylase (α-1,4-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1) production by the edible fungal species Calvatia gigantea, grown in a laboratory-scale fermenter on acorn starch media containing up to 2 g tannins l−1. No inhibition of both growth and amylase excretion was observed when the fungus was cultivated on media containing 40 to 100 times higher tannin concentration than that reported to inhibit microbial growth. Amylase excretion was enhanced when starch was dry sterilized but specific growth rate was higher when starch was wet sterilized. Biomass and amylase production increased with increasing substrate concentration and specific growth rate reached its maximum value at 20 g l−1 starch concentration. The optimum pH of biomass and amylase productionwas 5.0–5.5 and 6.0−6.5 respectively and that of temperature was 29–32 and 29–30°C respectively. Maximum yields of 68 250 U amylase and 0.58–0.60 g biomass g−1 acorn were obtained at optimum growth conditions. A plot of reciprocal growth rate vs. reciprocal starch concentration made it possible to calculate Ks = 0.84 g acorn starch l−1 and μmax = 0.249 h−1. 相似文献

Vibrio succinogenes which gains all the ATP by anaerobic electron transport phosphorylation, was grown in continuous culture on a defined medium with formate and fumarate as sole energy sources. The growth yield at infinite dilution rate (Y
max) was obtained by extrapolation from the growth yields measured at various dilution rates. With formate as the growth limiting substrate, Y
max was found as 14 g dry cells/mol formate. Under these conditions growth was limited by the rate of energy supply, because formate is used only as a catabolic substrate (Bronder et al. 1982). The Y
ATP
max
calculated from the ATP requirement for cell synthesis was 18 g dry cells/mol ATP. This gives an ATP/2e ratio of 0.8. The ATP/2e ratio in vitro had been measured as 1 (Kröger and Winkler 1981). It is concluded that growing V. succinogenes gain at least 80% the stoichiometrically possible amount of ATP, when growth is limited by energy supply. 相似文献

Material and energy balances for fermentation processes with product formation are developed using regularities which are frequently useful in analyzing experimental results. Available electron balances are presented and used to analyze the results of experiments in which biomass and lysine are produced in batch culture using molasses and corn extract as organic substrates. Measured values of biomass productivity, lysine productivity, O2 consumption rate, heat evolution rate, CO2 evolution rate, and rate of utilization of reducing sugars (RS) are used to obtain estimates of biomass energetic yield, lysine energetic yield, and fraction of substrate energy evolved as heat. For two of the three experiments, based on the entire fermentation, the measured mass rate variables are very consistent and energy measurement errors are less than 10% when proper consideration is given to both the RS and the amino acids present in the organic substrate. The average measured value of 26.5 kcal/equivalent (equiv) of available electrons transferred to oxygen compares favorably with the known average value of 27 kcal/equiv. 相似文献

Effects of mine acid on longevity and reproductive rate of the parthenogenic gastrotrich Lepidodermella squammata were studied under laboratory culture conditions. Water from unpolluted and polluted streams was used, directly or mixed, to establish a series of test conditions at pH 8.1, 7.1, 6.4, 5.2, 4.6 and 3.3. Eggs, cultured individually under each test condition, were observed at 12 h intervals for hatching, daughter egg laying and death. Data representing 50 animals under each test condition were used in the construction of a series of life tables. From these were calculated maximal life expectancy (ex), net reproductive rate per individual lifetime (Ro) and intrinsic rate of natural increase (rmax).Values of ex, Ro and rmax were maximal at pH 7.1 and were reduced slightly at the higher pH; ex was greatly reduced and Ro zero at pH 6.4 and 5.2; and ex was zero at pH 4.6 and 3.3. Analysis of variance tests indicate significant differences between ex values of L. squammata cultured at pH 8.1 and those cultured at pH 7.1, but no differences between Ro or rmax.Associated with the decrease in pH was an increase in total conductivity and a decrease in carbonate alkalinity and hence in carbonate conductivity. It appears that L. squammata is capable of living and reproducing at pH 6.0 to 6.5 under field conditions low in carbonates, providing non-carbonate ions are not abundant, or under field conditions high in non-carbonate ions, providing sufficient carbonates are present. 相似文献

A strain of endophytic fungus EF6 isolated from Thai medicinal plants was found to produce higher levels of extracellular
glucoamylase. This strain produced glucoamylase of culture filtrate when grown on 1% soluble starch. The enzyme was purified
and characterized. Purification steps involved (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, anion exchange, and gel filtration chromatography. Final purification fold was 14.49 and the yield obtained
was 9.15%. The enzyme is monomeric with a molecular mass of 62.2 kDa as estimated by SDS-PAGE, and with a molecular mass of
62.031 kDa estimated by MALDI-TOF spectrometry. The temperature for maximum activity was 60°C. After 30 min for incubation,
glucoamylase was found to be stable lower than 50°C. The activity decrease rapidly when residual activity was retained about
45% at 55°C. The pH optimum of the enzyme activity was 6.0, and it was stable over a pH range of 4.0–7.0 at 50°C. The activity
of glucoamylase was stimulated by Ca2+, Co2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, glycerol, DMSO, DTT and EDTA, and strongly inhibited by Hg2+. Various types of starch were test, soluble starch proved to be the best substrate for digestion process. The enzyme catalyzes
the hydrolysis of soluble starch and maltose as the substrate, the enzyme had K
m values of 2.63, and 1.88 mg/ml and V
max, values of 1.25, and 2.54 U/min/mg protein, and V
max/K
m values of 0.48 and 1.35, respectively. The internal amino acid sequences of endophytic fungus EF6 glucoamylase; RALAN HKQVV
DSFRS have similarity to the sequence of the glucoamylase purified form Thermomyces lanuginosus. From all results indicated that this enzyme is a glucoamylase (1,4-α-D-glucan glucanohydrolase). 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

The rate of cell enlargement depends on cell-wall extensibility (m) and on the amount of turgor pressure (P) which exceeds the wall yield threshold (Y). The difference (P-Y) is the growth-effective turgor (P
e). Values of P, Y and P
ehave been measured in growing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) leaves with an isopiestic psychrometer, using the stress-relaxation method to derive Y. When rapid leaf growth is initiated by light, P, Y and P
eall decrease. Thereafter, while the growth rate declines in maturing leaves, Y continues to decrease and P
eactually increases. These data confirm earlier results indicating that the changes in light-stimulated leaf growth rate are primarily controlled by changes in m, and not by changes in P
e. Seedlings incubated at 100% relative humidity have increased P, but this treatment does not increase growth rate. In some cases Y changes in parallel with P, so that P
eremains unchanged. These data point out the importance of determining P
e, rather than just P, when relating cell turgor to the growth rate.Abbreviations and symbols FC

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.
