Characterization of factors influencing the growth of Anabaena variabilis in a bubble column reactor

The combined effect of superficial gas velocity, pH, initial phosphate concentration, and light intensity on cell growth was investigated for the mass production of cyanobacterial cells. The light intensity was manipulated to maintain a specific irradiation rate (q(i)) at a constant level for high cell density culture. The optimum condition for the batch culture was achieved at a superficial gas velocity of 2.0 cm/s, pH 7.0, and an initial phosphate concentration of 55 mg/l when the specific irradiation rate was controlled above 11.5 micromol/s/g dry cell. In this condition, the specific growth rate and cell productivity were 1.47 day(-1) and 0.98 g dry cell/l/day, respectively.     

Influence of pH,temperature and culture media on the growth and bacteriocin production by vaginal Lactobacillus salivarius CRL 1328

AIMS: To study the influence of pH, temperature and culture medium on the growth and bacteriocin production by vaginal Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius CRL 1328. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study was performed using a complete factorial experimental design. Lactobacillus salivarius was cultivated in LAPTg and MRS broths, adjusted to specific initial pH, and at different temperatures of incubation. The growth, which was evaluated by the Gompertz model, was higher in MRS broth than in LAPTg broth. The initial pH of the culture medium and the temperature had a dramatic effect on the production of bacteriocin. The optimal conditions for bacteriocin production were different to those for optimal growth. The decrease in the pH of the culture medium was parallel to the growth; pH had similar final values in both the MRS and the LAPTg broths. CONCLUSIONS: The optimal growth conditions were recorded in MRS broth, with an initial pH of 6.5 and a temperature of 37 degrees C. The maximum bacteriocin activity was obtained in LAPTg after 6 h at 37 degrees C, and at an initial pH of 6.5 or 8.0. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The application of a complete factorial design, and the evaluation of the growth parameters through the Gompertz model, enabled a rapid and simultaneous exploration of the influence of pH, temperature and growth medium on both growth and bacteriocin production by vaginal Lact. salivarius CRL 1328.

Effects of culture conditions on the growth and auto-aggregation ability of vaginal Lactobacillus johnsonii CRL 1294

AIMS: To evaluate the effects of different physico-chemical factors on the growth and auto-aggregating ability of vaginal Lactobacillus johnsonii CRL 1294. METHODS AND RESULTS: L. johnsonii CRL 1294 was cultivated in different culture media, initial pH and temperature of incubation. The growth parameters were estimated by the Gompertz model, being optimal (higher final biomass and growth rate, and shorter lag phase) at an initial pH of 6.5 and at a temperature of 37 degrees C, both in LAPTg and MRS. The auto-aggregation ability, which was assessed by a model of exponential association, was evidenced in all the growth phases, being higher at pH 5 or 6.5. CONCLUSIONS: The growth of L. johnsonii CRL 1294 was affected in different way by all the physico-chemical factors tested. However, the auto-aggregation ability increased mainly at low initial pH of growth media. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The auto-aggregation ability under different culture conditions of a vaginal Lactobacillus strain was systematically and statistically evaluated for the first time. The higher cellular aggregation evidenced at low pH could be a fundamental characteristic in the acidic vaginal environment to promote the protective role of lactobacilli.

Biodegradation of 4-chlorophenol by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6</Emphasis>: effect of culture conditions and degradation kinetics

Among known microbial species, Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6 has shown very good potential to treat phenolic wastewaters. In this study, the levels of various culture conditions, namely initial pH, agitation (rpm), temperature (°C), and inoculum age (h) were optimized to enhance 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) biodegradation and the culture specific growth rate. For optimization, central composite design of experiments followed by response surface methodology (RSM) was applied. Results showed that among the four independent variables, i.e., pH, agitation (rpm), temperature (°C), and inoculum age (h) investigated in this study, interaction effect between agitation and inoculum age as well as that between agitation and temperature were significant on both 4-CP biodegradation efficiency and culture specific growth rate. Also, at the RSM optimized settings of 7.5 pH, 207 rpm, 29.6°C and 39.5 h inoculum age, 100% biodegradation of 4-CP at a high initial concentration of 300 mg l⁻¹ was achieved within a short span of 18.5 h of culture. The enhancement in the 4-CP biodegradation efficiency was found to be 23% higher than that obtained at the unoptimized settings of the culture conditions. Results of batch growth kinetics of A. chlorophenolicus A6 for various 4-CP initial concentrations revealed that the culture followed substrate inhibition kinetics. Biokinetic constants involved in the process were estimated by fitting the experimental data to several models available from the literature.

基于DOE设计和氨基酸补加策略提高CHO细胞表达抗CD20单克隆抗体*

中国仓鼠卵巢细胞(CHO)流加培养生产单克隆抗体是目前主流培养方式,其中环境参数(pH和温度)和营养成分均影响细胞生长、碳氮源代谢和外源蛋白表达,是培养过程中关键的控制参数。采用实验设计(design of experiment,DOE)方法研究培养参数(温度、pH)对CHO细胞生长和抗CD20抗体表达的影响,建立营养限制型氨基酸流加策略,实现抗CD20抗体的高表达。结果表明,温度是影响蛋白质表达的显著因素,35℃有助于提高细胞密度和目标抗CD20抗体表达,而pH对抗CD20表达影响不显著,且温度和pH无交互作用,经DOE预测分析最佳培养条件是温度35℃和pH7.0。在该最佳培养条件下,在培养后期酪氨酸和半胱氨酸的浓度都低于0.1mmol/L。在培养的第2天通过补加1.5mmol/L酪氨酸和1mmol/L半胱氨酸避免营养限制,抗CD20抗体表达水平提高了24.1%,且对蛋白糖型无影响。     

Batch culture kinetics of l-lactate fermentation employing Streptococcus sp. IO-1

We isolated a l-lactate producing cocci which grows at 37°C as the optimal temperature and pH of 7.0 that is capable of converting glucose to l-lactate with a conversion rate greater than 90%. No other stereochemical isomer of lactic acid was detected in the culture broth by enzymatic analysis. The fermentation exhibits typical end product inhibition and this was confirmed by culturing using medium to which 1% lactate was supplemented as the initial inhibitor. Numerical analysis of the cultures which were carried out at different initial sugar concentrations showed that the specific rates for growth, substrate consumption and lactate formation could be expressed using uncompetitive inhibition formulae. Using these equations, it may be possible to estimate the cell density, remaining sugar concentration and product formation at any phase of the batch fermentation without operation.

The effect of pH on the toxicity of ammonia to a murine hybridoma.

The growth inhibition of a murine hybridoma mediated by ammonium chloride was shown to vary with the pH of the culture medium. Values for the initial media concentration causing 50% growth inhibition (IC50) ranged from 4 mM to 7.6 mM as the pH was reduced from 7.8 to 6.8. A significant negative correlation was observed between the IC50 and the NH3 concentration of the medium, suggesting that ammonia and not ammonium may be the toxic species in the culture medium. The optimum initial pH for cell growth was 7.4. However, this optimum shifts to lower pH as ammonia accumulates in culture as a metabolic by-product. This suggests that in order to obtain high cell yields, it may be beneficial to adopt a culture strategy of lowering pH during cell growth to offset the inhibitory effects of accumulated ammonia.

基于日均温度的华山松径向生长敏感温度研究

树干木质部形成周期与温度密切相关,存在影响形成层活动的敏感温度,但是尚未研究尝试从树木年轮中探索影响径向生长的敏感温度。华山主峰的华山松径向生长对气候变化较敏感,且华山西峰的气象站记录了1953年以来气象资料,这为探索树木径向生长与温度的关系提供了宝贵的材料。以华山主峰的华山松年轮资料和日值温度资料为基础,通过分析历年日平均温度的变化过程和年轮宽度、早材宽度、晚材宽度、最小密度以及最大密度的相关性,尝试探索华山松径向生长与日均温度变化的关系。结果表明春季一定温度的初日时间对华山松径向生长有较大的影响,其中3 ℃和8 ℃初日时间和持续时间对年轮宽度的促进作用最明显,而3 ℃对早材宽度影响较大,8℃初日时间对晚材的影响较大;高于11 ℃的温度会对华山松的径向生长造成限制,其中以11 ℃的作用最明显;而温度的终日时间对年轮特征影响较小。说明3 ℃是早材形成的敏感温度,8 ℃是晚材形成的敏感温度,温度高于11 ℃会对华山松的径向生长构成胁迫。这证明华山松年轮特征中包含了较多的气候信息,形成层活动和木质部的生长存在阈值温度,通过分析不同温度的生长期与年轮特征的关系可以找到影响华山松径向生长的敏感温度。这些敏感的温度是通过什么生理过程影响木质部的形成尚无法得知,但是这为解释树木生长对全球温度升高的响应以及利用华山松年轮重建历史气候提供了重要依据。
