A preliminary study of chromium distribution in chromium-rich brewer's yeast cell by NAA

The purpose of this study was to assess the chromium (Cr) distribution in chromium-rich brewer’s yeast cell. The chromium concentrations in the cell wall and protoplast fractions of the chromium-rich yeast were determined by neutron activation analysis (NAA). Moreover, the combined state of chromium and amino acid content in the Cr-rich brewer’s yeasts was analyzed and measured. The experimental results indicate that the introduction of water-soluble chromium (III) salt as a component of the culture medium for yeasts results in a substantial amount of chromium absorbed through the cell wall by the yeast, among which 80.9% are accumulated in the protoplast. It implies that, under optimal conditions, yeasts are capable of accumulating large amounts of chromium and incorporating chromium into organic compounds.     

The isolation of glucose tolerance factors from brewer's yeast and their relation to chromium

A new dietary factor, the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), was reported in 1957 that improved impaired glucose tolerance in rats. Most studies on GTF have used brewer's yeast as the starting material, and it has been postulated that the active material is a low-mol wt organic complex containing Cr³⁺. It seemed thus important to isolate an active GTF from chromium-rich yeast (228 ppm Cr) obtained by incubation with chromium and to compare each fraction with corresponding ones from untreated yeast (0.48 ppm Cr). We developed an isolation and purification procedure by fractionation of yeast extract on an anion and cation exchange resin, and tested the GTF activity (glucose oxidation) on rat adipocytes. PIXE (proton-induced X-ray emission) was used to measure the chromium content of the individual fraction. Individual fractions with GTF activity did not differ between Cr-rich and Cr-deficient yeast, and there was no relationship between Cr content and GTF activity. This does not support the hypothesis that chromium is an obligatory constituent of the GTF, assuming that GTF is a unique substance.     

Metabolism, Intake, and Digestibility of Lambs Supplemented with Organic Chromium

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the metabolism of organic chromium and its effect on digestibility and intake of lambs. Four 4-month-old male lambs, each weighing 28 kg, were used. The animals were kept in metabolic cages for a period of 20 days (15 days of adaptation and 5 days of experimentation), in two experimental phases, with inverted treatments. Organic chromium was administered by intraruminal infusion of 1 mg of chromium-rich yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) throughout the adaptive and experimental period. The dry material rates of the diet and feces of the animals were evaluated to estimate consumption, digestibility, and fecal production. During the experimental period, blood, feces, and urine were collected every 24 h to determine chromium levels. There was no significant difference in the excretion of chromium in the urine, and no mineral remnants were detected in the blood. Excretion was generally fecal. There was greater excretion of chromium in the feces of lambs in the treated group on day 0 and day 3, compared with the control group. The use of organic chromium promoted an increase in the consumption of dry material in the treated animals only at day 0 (P?<?0.05). The production of fecal dry matter was greater among the treated lambs than among the animals of the control group on day 1, day 2, day 3, and day 4 (P?<?0.05). The results obtained showed that organic chromium associated with live yeasts is not absorbed by the body and do not affect the intake time in the dose used.     

Enantiocomplementary reduction of 3-phenylthiopropan-2-one by Bacillus sp.: effect of medium components

The enantioselectivity of the enzymes responsible for reduction of prochiral compound 3-phenylthiopropan-2-one was dependent on the concentration of yeast extract and glucose in the growth medium. Low concentrations of yeast extract (0.1-0.9% w/v) favored the formation of S-enantiomer (62% ee at 0.1% w/v yeast extract) of 3-phenylthiopropan-2-ol. However, R-enantiomer of the reduced product was formed when MSM was supplemented with yeast extract at a concentration of 1% (w/v) or more with a maximum ee of 85% at 2.0% (w/v) yeast extract supplement in the growth medium.     

Fermentation and microencapsulation of the nematophagous fungus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hirsutella rhossiliensis</Emphasis> in a novel type of hollow beads

In this work, fermentation and formulation aspects of the nematophagous fungus Hirsutella rhossiliensis BBA were investigated. When incubated in 2% (w/w) glucose and 0.5% (w/w) yeast extract medium in a 1-L Erlenmeyer flask without baffles, heavy pellet formation was observed. Only 40% of the mycelium had a size less than 500 μm. When a flask with three baffles was used, the portion of mycelium <500 μm rose to 95%. In the next step, the influence of aeration rate and stirrer speed on production of finely dispersed mycelium in a stirred tank reactor was investigated. The best fermentation results were obtained at 0.4 vvm and 400 rpm stirrer speed with 90% mycelium <500 μm and 5 g/L biomass. Then, mycelium was microencapsulated in hollow beads based on sulfoethylcellulose (SEC). Experiments on the capsule nutrient reservoir showed that 15% (w/w) corn gluten and 0.5% (w/w) yeast extract could be replaced with 3% (w/w) autoclaved baker's yeast which was never used as capsule additive before. Radial growth of mycelium out of dried hollow beads containing 1% (w/w) biomass and 3% (w/w) baker's yeast was faster than for alginate beads containing equivalent amounts of biomass and yeast indicating a higher bio-control potential.     

Dietary organic chromium supplementation and its effect on the immune response of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the potential effect of dietary chromium on the health of fish, particularly with respect to their metabolism and growth. Information as to the role of this mineral on their immune response, is limited however, so the aim of this study was to assess the effects of dietary chromium yeast supplementation on the immune response of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Juvenile rainbow trout (56 g average weight) were fed three semipurified diets containing different levels of chromium (1540, 2340 and 4110 ppb), obtained by supplementing a basal diet with 800 or 2570 ppb chromium yeast, for 6 weeks. After this, time differences in their immune response were examined. A positive influence was observed on serum lysozyme activity at this time in fish maintained on the high chromium diet. The respiratory burst of head-kidney macrophages was also examined, and statistical differences were found in the level of respiratory burst elicited by macrophages from both groups of fish fed supplemented chromium after 3 and 6 weeks of feeding (absorbance at 3 weeks: 0.118, 0.166. 0.151 and 6 weeks 0.114, 0.168, 0.151 for the 1540, 2340 and 4110 ppb groups). Macrophages of fish receiving diets supplemented with chromium also had a greater ability to phagocytose yeast after 6 weeks than the control fish (40.5, 48 and 48.5% macrophages phagocytic in the 1540, 2340 and 4110 ppb groups, respectively). The results of the study show that chromium yeast is able to modulate the immune response of rainbow trout, and this effect appears to be both dose- and time-dependent.     

Very high gravity wort fermentation by immobilised yeast

Using calcium alginate-entrapped yeast, 24% (w/w) wort was successfully fermented within 8 days. This is half the time needed for fermentation by free yeast. The highest ethanol concentration obtained was 10.5% (v/v). When the original wort gravity was increased, the specific rate of ethanol production remained constant 0.16 g gh^–1 and the viability did not fall bellow 95% of living cells. Protection of cell against osmotic stress by gel matrix was also confirmed by trehalose measurement. The maximum intracellular trehalose content in calcium alginate-entrapped yeast was 3 times lower compared to free yeast at 30% (w/w) wort fermentation.     

Hexavalent Chromium Reduction in Soils Contaminated with Chromated Copper Arsenate Preservative

The toxicity and mobility of chromium in the environment greatly depends upon its speciation. The reduction of hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium in a soil environment was examined by spiking three soil types (sandy, clayey, and organic soils) with a common wood preservative solution known as chromated copper arsenate (CCA). Chromium in the CCA preservative solution exists in the hexavalent form. The total and hexavalent chromium concentrations (mg/kg) were measured over a period of 11 months. Leachable chromium concentrations (mg/L) were assessed using the synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP). The degree and rate of hexavalent chromium reduction were similar for the sand and clayey soil, but much greater for the organic soil. Most of the chromium reduction occurred within the first month of the experiment. At the end of the experiment, approximately 50% of the hexavalent chromium was converted to the trivalent form in the sand and clayey soils. Hexavalent chromium concentrations were below detection in the organic soil at the end of the experiment. Nearly all of the chromium observed in the SPLP leachates was in the form of hexavalent chromium. Chromium leaching was thus greatest in the sand and clay soils where the hexavalent chromium persisted. The results indicate that hexavalent chromium in soils can persist for considerable time periods, in particular in soils with low organic matter content.

     

Combined use of three methods for high concentration ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Summary Ethanol concentration and fermentation productivity using Saccharomyces cerevisiae were substantially increased in shake flask cultures with a normal inoculum by combining 3 methods: (a) by making nutrient additions to the standard medium for ethanol production, (b) by immobilizing the cells in alginate beads and (c) by using a glucose step-feeding batch process. Ethanol concentration by free yeast was improved from 5.9% (w/w) to 9.6% (w/w) when a further 0.8% yeast extract and 1% animal peptone were added to the standard 30% (w/v) glucose nutrient medium. This was further increased to 12.8% (w/w) by using alginate immobilized yeast. The ethanol concentration was increased again, to 15.0% (w/w) by using the glucose step-feeding batch process.
