Optimization of culture conditions for production of cis-epoxysuccinic acid hydrolase using response surface methodology

Response surface methodology, which allows for rapid identification of important factors and optimization of them to enhance enzyme production, was employed here to optimize culture conditions for the production of cis-epoxysuccinic acid hydrolase from Bordetella sp. strain 1–3. In the first step, a Plackett–Burman design was used to evaluate the effects of nine variables (yeast extract, cis-epoxysuccinic acid, KH₂PO₄, K₂HPO₄ · 3H₂O, MgSO₄ · 7H₂O, trace minerals solution, culture volume, initial pH and incubation time) on the enzyme production. Yeast extract, cis-epoxysuccinic acid and KH₂PO₄ had significant influences on cis-epoxysuccinic acid hydrolase production and their concentrations were further optimized using central composite design and response surface analysis. A combination of adjusting the concentration of yeast extract to 7.8 g/l, cis-epoxysuccinic acid to 9.8 g/l, and KH₂PO₄ to 1.12 g/l would favor maximum cis-epoxysuccinic acid hydrolase production. An enhancement of cis-epoxysuccinic acid hydrolase production from 5.6 U/ml to 9.27 U/ml was gained after optimization.     

Medium improvement by orthogonal array designs for cholesterol oxidase production by Rhodococcus equi No. 23

Medium improvement for the production of cholesterol oxidase (CO, EC 1.1.3.6) by Rhodococcus equi No. 23 was investigated using an orthogonal array design in two steps. Results revealed that yeast extract, Tween 80 and zinc sulphate had positive effects on CO production, but magnesium sulphate had an inhibitory effect. In addition, interaction between cholesterol and sodium chloride also had a significant effect on enzyme production. The improved medium consisted of 2·0 g/litre cholesterol, 8·0 g/litre yeast extract, 1·0 g/litre NH₄Cl, 1·0 g/litre NaCl, 0·50 g/litre KH₂PO₄, 0·25 g/litre Na₂HPO₄, 0·10 g/litre -valine, 0·15 g/litre -tyrosine, 0·15 g/litre MgSO₄·7H₂O, 0·01 g/litre ZnSO₄·7H₂O, 0·10 g/litre FeSO₄·7H₂O and 4·0 ml/litre Tween 80. CO production at 60 h (about 0·24 units/ml) was about four-fold greater than with the control medium.

Interaction of metal compounds with ‘double-hydrophilic’ block copolymers in aqueous medium and metal colloid formation

The interaction of a ‘double-hydrophilic’ polyethyleneoxide-polyethyleneimine block copolymer (PEO-b-PEI) with AuCl₃, PdCl₂, Na₂PdCl₄, H₂PtCl₆·6H₂O, Na₂PtCl₆·6H₂O, and K₂PtCl₄ in aqueous medium was studied. Micellar structure formation was observed for all metal compounds except Na₂PdCl₄ where additional protonation of the polymer was required to induce micelle formation. The characteristics of the micelles formed depended strongly on the metal type, the molar ratio polymermetal compound, and the type of reducing agent. Micellization in the presence of AuCl₃·H₂O is accompanied with reduction of the salt and the formation of gold colloid without reducing agent induced by oxidation of the PEI block. The interaction with PtCl₆²⁻ ions results in narrowly distributed micelles wi size depending on the metal compound loading. In the case of loading with H₂PtCl₆, it was found that the size and shape of the colloids can be controlled by changing the molar ratio PEI:metal salt. The lower is the metal loading, the smaller are the particles. In addition, differently shaped Pt colloids were observed. This phenomenon can be controlled by the relative ratio of reactants.

Steric effects on the substitution of pentaamine-chromium(III) and -rhodium(III) complexes. Anation reaction rate constants as an indicative of the dissociative shift of the mechanism on crowding the [M(RNH2)5H2O] (M = Rh, R = H, Me, Et, Pr; M = Cr, R = H, Me, Pr) complexes

The kinetics of the anation reactions of [M(RNH₂)₅H₂O]³⁺ (M = Rh, R = H, Me, Et, Pr; M = Cr, R = H, Me, Pr) with several ligands (H₃PO₄/H₂PO₄⁻, H₃PO₃/H₂PO₃⁻, CF₃COO⁻, Br⁻, Cl⁻, SCN⁻) have been studied at different temperatures and acidities at I = 1.0 M (LiClO₄. Results obtained for the anation rate constants and thermal activation parameters are compared with the previously published data for R = H, in order to establish the effects of the amine substituents in the reaction mechanism proposed for the substitution reactions of these complexes. The results obtained are interpreted on the basis of a mechanism where the bond formation process is more important in the substitution on M = Cr complexes than in that of the M = Rh complexes, as already pointed out for the published ΔΛ^≠ values for the water exchange on these systems. A simple Langford-Gray classification becomes inadequate to describe these situations where the increase of the steric demand of the amine substituents shifta the I_a-I_d classification to the I_d side, although no dramatic changes in the reaction mechanism are found. It is concluded that a More O'Ferall ‘continuous’ type of approach to the mechanism classification of the substitution reactions is much more useful in this case.

Handling Germinated Pollen on Millipore Membrane During the Feulgen and Autoradiographic Procedures

To prevent loss of pollen during the Feulgen's procedure, the pollen was grown on an autoclaved membrane filter (Millipore AA WP 025 00) in contact with a sterilized medium containing agar 0.5-1%, sucrose according to the genus (Malus 0.3-0.5 M; Persica and Tulipa 0.4 M), and H₃BO₃, 0.01%. To fix the germinated pollen of most species, the membrane was placed for 2 hr to overnight at 2-4 C on filter paper wet with the following mixture: OsO₄, 1 gm; CrO₃, 1.66 gm; and distilled water, 233 ml. To fix Persica pollen, 10% of glacial acetic acid had to be added to the fixative. Washing with distilled water and bleaching with a mixture of 3% H₂O₂ and sat. aq. ammonium oxalate, 1:1, were performed also on filter paper. Similarly, the preparation was processed for Feulgen staining by use of pieces of filter paper wet with the required fluids. Hydrolysis preceding the Schiff's reagent was performed at room temperature with 5 N HCl for 18 min. The differentiation after the Schiff's action was with 2% K₂S₂O₅ buffered to pH 2.3 with 9 ml of phosphate buffer (KH₂PO₄, 1.4 gm; conc. HCl, 0.35 ml and distilled water to make 100 ml). The stained pollen was floated off the membrane with a drop of glacial acetic acid to a gelatinized or an albumenized slide, and squashed. When the coverslip is removed the preparation may be either dehydrated and mounted or coated with autoradiographic film.     

Optimal production of sulphuric acid by Thiobacillus thiooxidans using response surface methodology

Response surface methodology was applied to determine the optimal medium composition for sulphuric acid production by an indigenous Thiobacillus thiooxidans. With a view to reducing the number of experiments and obtaining the mutual interactions between the variables, a 2⁴ full-factorial central composite design was employed for experimental design and analysis of the results. Four independent variables, KH₂PO₄, (NH₄)₂SO₄, MgSO₄ and elemental sulphur, in the growth medium were tested. Elemental sulphur was found to exhibit positive correlation with the sulphuric acid yield, whereas the other three variables showed no significant effect. No mutual interactions were found between elemental sulphur and each of the other three variables. The optimal composition of the growth medium to achieve the optimal production of sulphuric acid was determined as follows (g/l): KH₂PO₄=3.5, (NH₄)₂SO₄=4.9, MgSO₄=0.7 and elemental sulphur=23.7. The corresponding sulphuric acid production and dry cell weight were 38 662 ppm and 0.7 g/l, which are about 2.6- and 1.75-fold increase, respectively, compared with those using the conventional T. thiooxidans optimum growth medium.
