微生物培养基质量控制技术和标准 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
微生物培养基的酸碱度、凝胶强度和选择性等直接影响到培养基的质量,在理化试验方法中采用连接可渗透陶器型液体接头的电极和平头电极或者连接微型探头的电极可分别测定液体和固体培养基的pH值,而采用Gelometer和the LFRA Texture Analyser可测定固体培养基的凝胶强度。在微生物学方法中固体培养基采用倾注平板法、涂布法、划线法(半定量法)、改良的Miles-Misra法等测定生长情况,液体培养基采用稀释法测定生长率,用目标菌和杂菌的混合菌株评价选择性增菌培养基的选择性,利用OD值评价液体培养基生长率等。ICFMH(国际食品微生物学和卫生学委员会培养基工作组)、ISO、FDA以及我国卫生部等相继制定了培养基质量控制的标准,但目前还没有一个系统的适合我国国情的培养基质量控制国家标准,以致各相关单位采用的标准不一致,所以制定培养基质量控制国家标准非常关键。 相似文献

Glass-electrode assemblies in which the reference half-cell contains a porous ceramic type of liquid junction are likely to produce misleading pH measurements under normal service conditions. The error arises from substantial liquid-junction potentials, associated with the porous ceramic plug, which vary with the ionic composition of the solution under test. The error is not revealed by conventional two-point calibration procedures, since the majority of standard buffer solutions have a similar total ionic strength, but will nevertheless be present when the unknown solution differs in ionic strength from the standardizing buffers. The size of the error is proportional to the ratio between the salt concentration in the standard buffers and the concentration present in the unknown solution, and varies from one electrode specimen to another. The fault was present in 24 out of 30 electrodes in normal use selected at random from seven laboratories, and the mean error was 0.2pH unit per 10-fold salt-concentration difference between standard and test solutions. It is estimated that errors of this order must be widespread in the recent literature. Older pH determinations are likely to be more reliable, since the original reference electrode design with a free-flowing liquid junction is apparently free from the artefact. 相似文献

Information is given concerning two standard buffer solutions suitable as pH references in 30, 40, and 50 mass% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/H2O mixed solvents at subzero temperatures from -20 to 0 degrees C, with the intention of establishing a pH (designated pH*) scale. The two buffers selected were the ampholytes N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethane sulfonic acid ("bes") and N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylglycine ("tricine"), and the reference standard consisted of equal molal quantities of the buffer and its respective sodium salt. The assignment of pH* values was based on measurements of the emf of cells without liquid junction of the type: Pt;H2(g,l atm) /Bes, Na Besate, NaCl / AgCl;Ag and Pt;H2(g,l atm) /Tricine, Na Tricinate, NaCl /AgCl;Ag and the pH* was derived from a determination of K2, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation process (Buffer)+/- in equilibrium with(Buffer)- + H+. 相似文献

Data are presented regarding the establishment of the pH (designated pH*) of a standard buffer solution suitable as a pH reference in 50 mass% glycerol/water mixtures at temperatures ranging from -20 to 25 degrees C. The buffer material selected was the ampholyte Mops [(3-N-morpholino)-propane sulfonic acid], and the reference standard consists of equal molal amounts of Mops and its sodium salt. The assignment of pH* values is based on measurements of the electromotive force (emf) of cells without liquid junction of the type: Pt;H2(g, 1 atm) / Mops, Na Mopsate, NaCl / AgCl;Ag and the pH* was derived from a determination of K2, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation process (Mops) +/- in equilibrium with (Mopsate)- + H+. The standard emf of the silver-silver chloride electrode in 30, 40, and 50 mass% glycerol/water mixtures was determined from emf measurements of the cell at subzero temperatures with HCl solutions replacing the buffer-chloride mixtures. 相似文献

Metallic sodium is receiving renewed interest as a battery anode material because the metal is earth‐abundant, inexpensive, and offers a high specific storage capacity (1166 mAh g?1 at ?2.71 V vs the standard hydrogen potential). Unlike metallic lithium, the case for Na as the anode in rechargeable batteries has already been demonstrated on a commercial scale in high‐temperature Na||S and Na||NiCl2 secondary batteries, which increases interest. The reversibility of room temperature sodium anodes is investigated in galvanostatic plating/stripping reactions using in situ optical visualization and galvanostatic polarization measurements. It is discovered that electronic disconnection of mossy metallic Na deposits (“orphaning”) is a dominant source of anode irreversibility in liquid electrolytes. The disconnection is shown by means of direct visualization studies to be triggered by a root‐breakage process during the stripping cycle. As a further step toward electrode designs that are able to accommodate the fragile Na deposits, electrodeposition of Na is demonstrated in nonplanar electrode architectures, which provide continuous and morphology agnostic access to the metal at all stages of electrochemical cycling. On this basis, nonplanar Na electrodes are reported, which exhibit exceptionally high levels of reversibility (Coulombic efficiency >99.6% for 1 mAh cm?2 Na throughput) in room‐temperature, liquid electrolytes. 相似文献

During a 70-h fermentation of a lignocellulose hydrolysate, the ethanol produced was monitored on-line using a microdialysis probe as an in situ sampling device. The dialysate components were then separated in a column liquid chromatographic system and the ethanol was selectively detected by an amperometric alcohol biosensor. The result was compared with two off-line analysis methods: one chromatographic method with refractive index (RI) detection and one enzymatic method based on spectrophotometric detection. The two methods base on enzymes were shown to give lower values than the chromatographic method based on RI detection, which is discussed n terms of selectivity. The investigated on-line setup was found to be a flexible system for monitoring of fermentations, allowing a sampling frequency of at least 12 h(-1) and with a delay between sampling and detection of less than 5 min.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was determined at varied pH values between 6 and 11 in rat homogenated diaphragm and in eel E. electricus soluble AChE, in the presence or absence of 115 mM NaCl or LiCl. It was observed that by using homogenated diaphragm Li+ stimulated AChE at physiological pH (7-7.4). In control (no cations) a pH "optimum" of 8.6-9 was found, while in presence of NaCl or LiCl "optima" of 9.5 and 10.2 were observed respectively. At optimum pH, AChE activity was about 2 times higher with NaCl, while with LiCl 5 times higher than the control. Preincubation of the enzyme or the homogenate in cations presence at pH 5.5 or pH 12.8 had no effect on the activity, when it was measured at pH "optima". However, without cations only 76% of the activity in optimum pH after preincubation at pH 5.5 was found. These results suggest that: (a) Li+ may neutralize negative charges of AChE more successfully than Na+, resulting in better enzyme activation and stabilization; (b) a possible enzyme desensitization induced by pH changes can be avoided by increasing Na+ concentrations and especially Li+. 相似文献

The operation of a wastewater treatment plant treating effluents from a dairy laboratory was monitored by an advanced system. This plant comprises a 12 m(3) anaerobic filter (AF) reactor and a 28 m(3) sequential batch reactor (SBR) coupled in series and is equipped with the following on-line measurement devices: biogas flow meter, feed and recycling flow meters, temperature sensor, dissolved oxygen analyzer, and redox meter. Other parameters such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), volatile fatty acids (VFA), etc. were determined off-line. The plant has been in operation for 634 days, the influent flow rate being 6-8 m(3)/d. COD concentration of the influent ranged between 8 and 12 kg COD/m(3), resulting in COD values in the effluent around 50-200 mg/L. The behavior of the system was studied using the set of measurements collected by the data acquisition program especially developed for this purpose. Monitoring of variables such as anaerobic reactor temperature permitted the detection and prevention of several failures such as temperature shocks in the AF reactor. Besides, off-line measurements such as the alkalinity or the VFA content, together with the on-line measurements, provided immediate information about the state of the plant and the detection of several anomalies, such as organic overloads in the SBR, allowing the implementation of several fast control actions. 相似文献

By replacing the glass-based pH electrode (L. R. Pucacco, S. K. Corona, H. R. Jacobson, and N. W. Carter (1986) Anal. Biochem. 153, 251-261) with a liquid membrane-based pH electrode, a relatively easy-to-manufacture modified Thomas electrode has been developed. The liquid membrane-based modified Thomas electrode can be manufactured without the special equipment (forge) and materials (glass) required to make the glass membrane pH microelectrode (L. R. Pucacco and N. W. Carter (1976) Anal. Biochem. 73, 501-512). The sensitivity (57.4 +/- 0.22 mV/pH unit), response time (20.0 +/- 2.67 s), and electrical resistance (3.48 +/- 0.67 X 10(11) ohm) of this electrode are similar to those of the glass-based version. 相似文献

Measurement of bubble and pellet size distributions: past and current image analysis technology 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Junker B 《Bioprocess and biosystems engineering》2006,29(3):185-206
Measurements of bubble and pellet size distributions are useful for biochemical process optimizations. The accuracy, representation, and simplicity of these measurements improve when the measurement is performed on-line and in situ rather than off-line using a sample. Historical and currently available measurement systems for photographic methods are summarized for bubble and pellet (morphology) measurement applications. Applications to cells, mycelia, and pellets measurements have driven key technological developments that have been applied for bubble measurements. Measurement trade-offs exist to maximize accuracy, extend range, and attain reasonable cycle times. Mathematical characterization of distributions using standard statistical techniques is straightforward, facilitating data presentation and analysis. For the specific application of bubble size distributions, selected bioreactor operating parameters and physicochemical conditions alter distributions. Empirical relationships have been established in some cases where sufficient data have been collected. In addition, parameters and conditions with substantial effects on bubble size distributions were identified and their relative effects quantified. This information was used to guide required accuracy and precision targets for bubble size distribution measurements from newly developed novel on-line and in situ bubble measurement devices. 相似文献

Fermentation process control is currently limited by its inability to measure parameters such as substrate, product, and biomass concentrations rapidly for consistent on-line feedback. Physical and chemical parameters, such as temperature and pH, currently can be obtained on-line using appropriate sensors. However, to obtain information on the concentration of the substrate, product, and biomass, samples must be taken off-line for measurement. With the use of spectroscopic techniques, real-time monitoring of process constituents such as product and substrate is possible. Spectroscopic techniques are rapid and nondestructive, require minimal or no sample preparation, and can be used to simultaneously assess several constituents in complex matrices. The production of ethanol is the largest fermentation process in terms of production volume and economic value as a result of its prominence in the food, agricultural, and fuel industries. This study attempts to develop an on-line ethanol fermentation monitoring technique using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with a flow-through ATR capability. Models developed using multivariate statistics, employed to obtain on-line FTIR measurements, were successfully validated by off-line HPLC analysis and spectrophotometry data. Standard errors of prediction (SEP) values of 0.985 g/L (R2 = 0.996), 1.386 g/L (R2 = 0.998), and 0.546 (R2 = 0.972) were obtained for ethanol, glucose, and OD, respectively. This work demonstrates that FTIR spectroscopy could be used for rapid on-line monitoring of fermentation. 相似文献

The Na+/H+ antiporter NhaA is the main Na+ extrusion system in E. coli. Using direct current measurements combined with a solid supported membrane (SSM), we obtained electrical data of the function of NhaA purified and reconstituted in liposomes. These measurements demonstrate NhaA's electrogenicity, its specificity for Li+ and Na+ and its pronounced pH dependence in the range pH 6.5-8.5. The mutant G338S, in contrast, presents a pH independent profile, as reported previously. A complete right-side-out orientation of the NhaA antiporter within the proteoliposomal membrane was determined using a NhaA-specific antibody based ELISA assay. This allowed for the first time the investigation of NhaA in the passive downhill uptake mode corresponding to the transport of Na+ from the periplasmic to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. In this mode, the transporter has kinetic properties differing significantly from those of the previously investigated efflux mode. The apparent Km values were 11 mM for Na+ and 7.3 mM for Li+ at basic pH and 180 mM for Na+ and 50 mM for Li+ at neutral pH. The data demonstrate that in the passive downhill uptake mode pH regulation of the carrier affects both apparent Km as well as turnover (Vmax). 相似文献

A reliable and simple differential pulse polarographic method is described for the determination of thymoquinone in black seed oil. The polarographic behaviour of thymoquinone was examined in various buffer systems over the pH range 5.0-10.0. Thymoquinone is reduced in a single, reversible peak at the dropping mercury electrode. The differential pulse polarogram showed a distinct peak in S?rensen buffer:methanol (3:7, v/v; pH 8.5) at a peak potential of -0.095 V (vs. silver/silver chloride electrode), and a plot of peak height against concentration was found to be linear over the range 0.2-15.0 microg/mL (R = 0.9998). The limit of detection was calculated to be 0.054 microg/mL. The polarographic method has been applied to determine thymoquinone in two black seed oil preparations available on the Austrian pharmaceutical market. 相似文献

This paper demonstrates the functionality, laboratory testing and field application of a microbial sensor that is capable of monitoring the organic pollution extent of wastewaters both off-line in a laboratory and on-line in a wastewater treatment plant. The biosensor was first developed in the laboratory using synthetic wastewater and then applied to monitor the effluent of the unit. The basic working principle of the biosensor is based on the on-line measurement of CO2 concentration in the off gas produced during carbon compound degradation by microbial respiration activities. CO2 concentration under operation conditions (constant oxygen flow rate, residence time and pH) is closely related to the extent of organic pollution (biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand). CO2 monitoring is carried out by an infrared spectrometer, whereas current organic pollution is determined off-line according to the conventional 5-day lasting BOD analysis. Off gas analysis of CO2 concentration strongly correlates with off-line biochemical oxygen demand measurements allowing continuous on-line monitoring of the organic load within a wastewater treatment plant. Thus, real time process control and operation become feasible. 相似文献

On-line fluorescence-monitoring of the methanogenic fermentation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
On-line in situ fluorescence measurements of the methanogenic fermentation were conducted with reactors receiving either glucose or a mixture of volatile fatty acids as the substrate. The reactors were perturbed from steady-state conditions in order to assess the response of fluorescencemonitoring probes. Two fluorescence-monitoring probes were evaluated over a period of 8 months; they performed in a consistent manner, and their response was not significantly affected by the changes in pH and redox potential encountered during routine reactor operation. A commercially available probe, designed to measure NAD(P)H, demonstrated particular promise for detecting imbalance caused by the entry of air, inhibitor addition and was capable of distinguishing between different substrates. This fluorescence-monitoring probe detected imbalance more rapidly than other on-line measurements such as pH, Eh, or gas production, or off-line measurements such as volatile fatty acid concentration or gas composition. An experimental fluorescence-monitoring probe, designed to measure coenzyme F(420), also showed some promise in this regard. The response of the fluorescence-monitoring probes also revealed details of the metabolic routes in the reactors and the probes represent a useful research tool. For example, a failure to observe the characteristic response of the NAD(P)H-monitoring probe to formate addition during the metabolism of acetate, propionate, or glucose strongly suggests that any formate liberated during their catabolism is degraded via a different route to exogenously added formate. 相似文献

Despite the popularity of Na+-binding benzofuran isophthalate (SBFI) to measure intracellular free Na+ concentrations ([Na+](i)), the in situ calibration techniques described to date do not favor the straightforward determination of all of the constants required by the standard equation (Grynkiewicz G, Poenie M, and Tsien RY. J Biol Chem 260: 3440-3450, 1985) to convert the ratiometric signal into [Na+]. We describe a simple method in which SBFI ratio values obtained during a "full" in situ calibration are fit by a three-parameter hyperbolic equation; the apparent dissociation constant (K(d)) of SBFI for Na+ can then be resolved by means of a three-parameter hyperbolic decay equation. We also developed and tested a "one-point" technique for calibrating SBFI ratios in which the ratio value obtained in a neuron at the end of an experiment during exposure to gramicidin D and 10 mM Na+ is used as a normalization factor for ratios obtained during the experiment; each normalized ratio is converted to [Na+](i) using a modification of the standard equation and parameters obtained from a full calibration. Finally, we extended the characterization of the pH dependence of SBFI in situ. Although the K(d) of SBFI for Na+ was relatively insensitive to changes in pH in the range 6.8-7.8, acidification resulted in an apparent decrease, and alkalinization in an apparent increase, in [Na+](i) values. The magnitudes of the apparent changes in [Na+](i) varied with absolute [Na+](i), and a method was developed for correcting [Na+](i) values measured with SBFI for changes in intracellular pH. 相似文献

The four-pin electrode capacitance probe has already shown to be a valuable tool for on-line monitoring viable biomass concentration in industrial-type fermentations. A new prototype annular probe was developed and its performance in real-time monitoring the concentration of viable cells during industrial pilot-scale fermentation for the production of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) was investigated and compared to the four-pin probe. A set of 14 fermentations was monitored on-line: four of them with the four-pin probe, the remaining with the annular probe. The performance of both the annular and the four-pin electrode probe were compared against each other and against off-line measurements (viscosity and packed mycelial volume). The prototype annular probe showed to have higher signal intensity and sensitivity than the standard four-pin probe, with higher signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, its new design and construction proved to be easier to handle in an industrial environment. 相似文献

Data are presented regarding the establishment of the pH (designated pH*) of a standard buffer solution suitable as a pH reference in 50 mass% glycerol/water mixtures at temperatures ranging from −20 to 25 °C. The buffer material selected was the ampholyte Mops [(3-N-morpholino)-propane sulfonic acid], and the reference standard consists of equal molal amounts of Mops and its sodium salt. The assignment of pH* values is based on measurements of the electromotive force (emf) of cells without liquid junction of the type: Pt;H2(g,1 atm) ¦ Mops, Na Mopsate, NaCl ¦ AgCl;Ag and the pH* was derived from a determination of K2, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation process (Mops)±/ah (Mopsate)− + H +. The standard emf of the silver-silver chloride electrode in 30, 40, and 50 mass% glycerol/water mixtures was determined from emf measurements of the cell at subzero temperatures with HCl solutions replacing the buffer-chloride mixtures. 相似文献

Indirect measurement of lactose, galactose, lactic acid, and biomass concentration from on-line sodium hydroxide weight measurements have been obtained for pure and mixed batch cultures of Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus 404 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 398 conducted at controlled pH and temperature. Linear correlations were established between the equivalent sodium hydroxide concentration and the lactose (substrate), galactose and lactic acid (products) concentrations while nonlinear relationships were developed between biomass and lactic acid concentrations. These nonlinear relationships took into account the inhibitory effect of lactic acid on growth and acidification. The indirect measurements of biomass concentration were introduced into a nonlinear estimator of the state variables and of the specific growth and lactic acid production rates. Good agreement was found between estimated and measured biomass concentrations (error index ranging from 10.8% to 12.6%). The results showed the feasibility of on-line estimation of biomass concentration and of the specific kinetics from NaOH addition weight measurements and its applicability for monitoring lactic acid fermentations. Using off-line measurements of L(+) and D(-) lactic acid concentrations, the evolution of the concentration of each strain in mixed cultures was obtained from the relationships proposed for the mixed cultures.
