Human fetal pancreatic glands obtained from 31 consecutive prostaglandin-induced abortions were examined with respect to light microscopic structure and insulin content and release before and after cryopreservation. The crown-heel lengths of the fetuses ranged from 12 to 34 cm. Minced pancreatic fragments about 2 mm3 in size were cultured overnight in RPMI 1640 medium plus 10% fetal calf serum. The explants were incubated at 0 °C for 20 min in Hanks' solution containing 1 M Me2SO and subsequently cooled at 0.3 °C/min to ?70 °C before rapid quenching in liquid nitrogen. After storage for 4–150 days at ?196 °C the pancreatic fragments were rapidly thawed and suspended in RPMI 1640 (10% calf serum) for another overnight culture.After cryopreservation there was some morphological deterioration of the fetal pancreas. Before cryopreservation 13 of the fetal glands responded with a significant insulin release to an acute glucose plus theophylline challenge, while after cryopreservation 16 glands responded.Although cryopreservation lowered the insulin response there was a strong statistical correlation between the response obtained before and after freezing (P < 0.001). No correlation could be demonstrated between the insulin response and crown-heel length either before or after freezing. There was no obvious effect of cryopreservation on the pancreatic insulin content which showed a significant correlation with the crown—heel length both before and after freezing.It is concluded that cryopreservation of human fetal endocrine pancreas preserves the viability of the B cells. These observations provide a basis for further exploration of the suitability of human fetal pancreas for clinical transplantation.  相似文献

1. [3H]Batrachotoxinin A-20-α-benzoate ([3H]BTX-b) and [3H]saxitoxin ([3H]STX), radioligands that bind to distinct sites on the voltage-sensitive sodium channel, were bound specifically to saturable sites in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) brain synaptoneurosomes.2. Specific [3H]BTX-B binding was temperature dependent with highest levels of specific [3H]BTX-B binding observed at 7°C. Specific binding was inversely correlated with assay temperature at temperatures above 7°C.3. Saturating concentrations of scorpion (Leiurus quinquestriatus) venom (ScV) stimulated specific [3H]BTX-B binding at 27°C, but not at 7°C. The dihydropyrazole insecticide RH 3421 inhibited specific [3H]BTX-B binding at 7°C but had no effect on specific binding at 27°C. The sodium channel activators veratridine and aconitine and the local anesthetic dibucaine inhibited specific [3H]BTX-B binding at both 7°C and 27°C.4. Displacement experiments in the presence of ScV at 27°C gave an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) for [3H]BTX-B of 710 nM and a maximal binding capacity (Bmax) of 11.3 pmol/mg protein. Kinetic experiments established the rates of association (1.17 × 105min−1 nM−1) and dissociation (0.0514min−1) of the ligand-receptor complex.5. The binding of [3H]STX reached apparent saturation at 7.5 nM. Scatchard analysis of the saturation data indicated a Kd of 3.8nM and a Bmax of 1.9 pmol/mg protein.6. These studies provide evidence for high affinity, saturable binding sites for [3H]BTX-B and [3H]STX in trout brain preparations. Whereas certain neurotoxins modified the specific binding of [3H]BTX-B in trout brain synaptoneurosomes in a predictable fashion, other compounds known to affect specific [3H]BTX-B binding in mammalian brain preparations had no effect on specific [3H]BTX-B binding in the trout.  相似文献

Y0 is a rat x rat hybridoma cell line, which does not secrete immunoglobulin, produced using a fusion partner derived from the Y3 (Y3,Ag.1.2.3) rat myoloma cell line. Y0 and Y3 have both been widely used as fusion partners in the production of rat x rat hybridomas. Y0 has also been used in recombinant gene technology. Y0 cells grown in shake flask culture, using RPMI 1640 medium with 4mM l-glutamine and 5% foetal bovine serum, reached a maximal cell density of 1.5×106 cells ml–1 with 86% viability. Y0 cells which has been adapted to grow in ABC protein-free medium reached a maximal density, in shake flask culture, of 8.75×105 cells ml–1 with 79% viability. An improved protein-free medium, designated W38 medium, was developed. In shake flask culture, W38 medium supported Y0 cell growth to a density of 2.02×106 cells ml–1 with 96% viability. Two Y3 hybridomas, YID 13.9.4 cells and SAM 618 cells were adapted to growth in W38 medium. For both hybridomas, cell growth and product yield in shake flask culture using W38 medium was superior to that obtained with serum-containing RPMI 1640 medium.Abbreviations F12 Hams F12 medium - DMEM Dulbeccos medium - RPMI RPMI 1640 medium - FBS foetal bovine serum  相似文献

Progesterone production of granulosa cells cultured in vitro is stimulated and cell differentiation increased, by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This study examined whether the increased progesterone production observed when bovine granulosa cells are cultured occurs because (1) progesterone production by undifferentiated and/or differentiated cells is increased or (2) the differentiation of granulosa cells is stimulated. Viable bovine granulosa cells (2−3×105) from follicles 5–8 mm in diameter were cultured in the presence of 0, 1, 10 and 100 μu FSH (1 μu ≡ 1 μg NIH-FSH-S1) for 6 days at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air in 1 ml of a 1:1 mixture of Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium: Ham's F10 medium supplemented with 365 μg ml−1 l-glutamine, 100 U ml−1 penicillin and 100 μg ml−1 streptomycin. Progesterone production, total DNA and protein, and cell diameter were determined sequentially over the culture period. The increases in progesterone production (ng μg−1 DNA per 24 h), cytoplasmic:nuclear ratio (μg protein μg−1 DNA) and cell diameter (μm) over 6 days culture indicated that granulosa cells underwent differentiation in the presence of FSH. Progesterone production of undifferentiated granulosa cells (diameter 14 μm or less) was stimulated by FSH (P < 0.01) in a dose dependent manner (1.0±0.2, 2.9±0.3, 3.7±0.3 and 4.9±0.4 ng μg−1 DNA per 24 h for 0, 1, 10 and 100 μu ml−1 FSH respectively) but remained constant within dose (P > 0.05) during a 6 day culture period. FSH stimulated (P < 0.05) the rate of granulosa cell differentiation (10±3%, 53±13%, 74±21% and 82±10% differentiating cells per well for 0 μu, 1 μu, 10 μu and 100 μu ml−1 FSH respectively) but did not stimulate (P > 0.05) progesterone production by differentiating granulosa cells (8.7±0.5 ng μg−1 DNA per 24 h). In conclusion, the increase in progesterone production of FSH-stimulated granulosa cells cultured in vitro appears to be mainly due to an increase in the number of differentiating cells with a constant rather than an increasing progesterone production per cell.  相似文献

Keratella cochlearis (Gosse) was cultured non-axenically in Carefoot medium diluted with Erken water at 5 °C, 15 °C and 20 °C with Rhodomonas minuta (Skuja) as a food alga. The rotifer reached ca. 120 ind. ml?1, having generation times of 2–7 days, a Q10-value of ca. 2, and at the lowest temperature >20% longer posterior spines. When co-cultured with Chlorella sp., at 0–30 mg Ca l?1 and 1.6 meq NaHCO3 l?1 in medium L 11 at 20 °C, the maximum generation time and individual numbers were 3–4 days and up to 100 ind. ml?1, respectively. Animal numbers increased in relation to nutrient multiples, up to two multiples, of the culture medium L 16. Growth and length were reduced, although the width increased above two multiples of this culture medium. The trace metal tolerance was broad and increased additions of a metal mixture (L 11) slightly increased the length of the rotifers. No major changes in the length were observed when HCO3 or Ca were varied in the culture medium (L 11), although a decrease in the length was noted in old cultures.  相似文献

The involvement of endogenous opioids in modulation of prolactin (PRL) secretion during pregnancy in the pig was studied. Twenty-four crossbred pregnant gilts (150 ± 10 kg) were cannulated via the cephalic vein 24–48 h before treatment with 1 mg kg−1 body weight of naloxone (NAL) or 3 ml of saline (CONT) i.v. at Day 40 (NAL, n = 6; CONT, n = 6) or Day 70 (NAL, n = 6; CONT, n = 6) of pregnancy. Blood plasma was collected at 15 min intervals from 1 h before to 3 h after treatment with NAL or saline. At Day 40 of pregnancy, administration of NAL caused a decrease in mean plasma PRL concentrations at 60 min, 120 min and 180 min post-treatment (NAL, 19.1 ± 1.3 ng ml−1, P < 0.05; 15.8 ± 0.6 ng ml−1, P < 0.001; 14.6 ± 0.7 ng ml−1, P < 0.001, respectively) when compared with the CONT group (22.9 ± 0.7 ng ml−1, 21.6 ± 0.6 ng ml−1 and 22.4 ± 0.5 ng ml−1, respectively). Mean plasma estradiol concentration was higher (P < 0.01) in the NAL group during the second and third hour post-treatment than in the CONT group. At Day 70 of pregnancy, infusion of NAL also decreased (P < 0.001) plasma PRL concentrations at 60 min, 120 min and 180 min after treatment (20.1 ± 1.6 ng ml−1, 16.2 ± 1.5 ng ml−1 and 14.8 ± 0.4 ng ml−1, respectively) compared with the CONT group (33.4 ± 1.7 ng ml−1, 34.1 ± 1.3 ng ml−1 and 29.1 ± 0.9 ng ml−1, respectively). Estradiol concentrations were not different (P > 0.05) between groups in this stage of gestation. Mean concentrations of progesterone were similar during the pre- and post-treatment periods in both stages of pregnancy.These data would suggest a possible role of the opioids in modulation of PRL secretion at these stages of pregnancy in the pig.  相似文献

2-phenylethanol (2-PE), which is extracted naturally from plant or biotechnology processing, is widely used in the food and cosmetics industries. Due to the high cost of 2-PE production, the valorization of waste carbon to produce 2-PE has gained increasing attention. Here, 2-PE was produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae using tobacco waste extract (TWE) as the substrate. Considering the toxicity of nicotine and its inhibition of 2-PE, the tolerance of S. cerevisiae was first evaluated. The results suggested that the production of 2-PE by S. cerevisiae in TWEs could be carried out at 2·0 mg ml−1 nicotine concentrations and may be inhibited by 1·0 mg ml−1 2-PE. Thus, the compounds in the TWEs prepared at different temperatures were detected, and the results revealed that the TWEs prepared at 140°C contained 2·18 mg ml−1 of nicotine, had total sugar concentrations of 26·8 mg ml−1 and were suitable for 2-PE production. Due to feedback regulation, the 2-PE production was only 1·11 mg ml−1, and the remaining glucose concentration remained at 13·78 mg ml−1, which indicated insufficient glucose utilization. Then, in situ product recovery was further implemented to remove this inhibition; the glucose utilization (the remaining concentration decreased to 3·64 mg ml−1) increased, and the 2-PE production increased to 1·65 mg ml−1. The 2-PE produced in the fermentation broth was first isolated by elution from the resin with 75% ethanol and then by removing the impurities with 2·5% activated charcoal, and pure 2-PE was identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The results of this study suggest that TWE could be an alternative carbon source for 2-PE production. This could provide an outlet tobacco waste as well as reducing the price of natural 2-PE, although more strategies need to be explored to improve the production yield of 2-PE by using TWE.  相似文献

A chemically defined ram semen diluent (RSD-1) has been developed. RSD-1 maintained spermatozoal motility of diluted semen containing approximately 800 million spermatozoa ml−1 during cooling to 15°C and its storage for 1 h. Motility was further maintained when the cooled semen was diluted to 100 million spermatozoa ml−1 and incubated at 38°C for about 24 h. In contrast, a conventional milk-based diluent supported motility for less than 6 h at 38°C. Spermatozoal motility was influenced by the buffering capacity, osmolarity and the presence or absence of macromolecules and calcium in the chemically defined diluent. Among the organic buffers tested, MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulphonic acid) had a marked influence on the maintenance of spermatozoal motility. The presence of MOPS also overcame the detrimental effects of 2 mM calcium in Krebs Ringer improved (KR-I) buffer.  相似文献

Spodoptera frugiperda (IPLB-SF-21) insect cells were grown in shake-flasks and infected with a temperature-sensitive baculovirus to express the gene of chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) in serum-free medium (SF-900) and two serum-supplemented media (IPL-41 and Grace's). In temperature-shift experiments (cell growth at 33°C followed by virus replication at 27°C 3–4 days later), virus and CAT production were much poorer in the serum-free medium than in serum-supplemented media, though cell growth was virtually the same in the different media tested. In all the three media, highest virus and CAT titers were obtained at the lowest MOI (multiplicity of infection 0.02). This result is contrary to that obtained in constant-temperature culture (27°C for both cell growth and virus replication). Virus and CAT production was greatly improved when the entire culture was run at constant temperature. It appeared that infected cells were severely damaged at 33°C (6°C above the optimal 27°C), resulting in little or no virus and protein production. As a result of these temperature-shift experiments, a larger-scale (141 air-lift bioreactor) serum-free culture of Sf-9 insect cells was conducted at constant temperature (27°C) to produce recombinant protein (β-galactosidase). A cell density as high as 1×107 cells.ml−1, and a β-gal concentration of up to 104,000 unit.ml−1 were achieved.  相似文献

NS0 has been used as a fusion partner for the production of hybridomas and has more recently been engineered to produce recombinant protein. A protein-free culture medium, designated W38 medium, has previously been developed which supported high density growth of rat myeloma and hybridoma cell lines. NS0 cells failed to grow in W38 medium and in a number of protein-free culture media which support the growth of other myeloma cell lines. NS0 cells are derived from the NS-1 cell line, which is known to require exogencus cholesterol. It was found that NS0 cells grew in W38 medium supplemented with phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and albumin and that NS0 were auxotrophic for cholesterol. Protein-free growth of NS0 cells was achieved by using -cyclodextrin to replace albumin as a lipid carrier. The maximal cell density reached in this protein-free medium was in excess of 1.5×106 cell ml–1. The lipid supplements in the medium precipitated after a few days storage at +4°C. In order to overcome this problem a protocol was developed which allowed NS0 cells to be adapted to cholesterol-independent growth in W38 medium. NS0.CF (cholesterol-independent NS0 cells) were cultured continuously in W38 medium for several months. In shake flask culture a cell density of 2.4×106 cells ml–1 was achieved in W38 medium compared with 1.41×106 cells ml–1 in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% foetal bovine serum. NS0.CF cells readily grew in a 1 litre stirred bioreactor using W38 medium supplemented with Pluronic F68 reaching a density of 3.24×106 cells ml–1. NS0.CF were cloned protein-free by limiting dilution in W38 medium, giving colonies in wells that were seeded at an average density of 0.32 cells per 200 l. This study has demonstrated for the first time the growth of a cholesterol-requiring mouse myeloma cell line in a completely defined protein-free medium and its subsequent adaptation to cholesterol-independence.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - C cholesterol - CD cyclodextrin - F68 Pluronic F68 - GS glutamine synthetase - P phosphatidylcholine - PC-FBS phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol and foetal bovine serum - RPMI RPMI 1640 medium - MSX methionine sulphoximine  相似文献

Tolypocladium inflatum strains are known to produce Cyclosporin-A under submerged culture conditions. In the present study solid state fermentation was used to produce Cyclosporin-A. Tolypocladium inflatum strains when grown on moist wheat bran produced 310–459 mg of Cyclosporin-A kg of bran−1. Tolypocladium inflatum ATCC 34921 which produced 459 mg of Cyclosporin-A kg of bran−1 was improved to produce 1031±27 mg of Cyclosporin-A kg−1 of bran, by subjecting the spores to different mutagenic treatments. The mutated strain, designated Tolypocladium inflatum DRCC 106, produced 4843 mg kg−1 of bran under optimum fermentation conditions in 10 days when grown on wheat bran medium containing millet flour 20%, jowar flour 10%, zinc sulphate 0·15%, ferric chloride 0·25% and cobaltous chloride 0·05%. An inoculum of 60% initial moisture content 70%, initial bran pH 2·0 and incubation temperature 25°C were found to be optimal. Cyclosporin-A thus obtained was purified by solvent extraction, followed by column chromatography. The isolated product complies with the United States Pharmacopoeia specifications.  相似文献

Feeding rates of Brachionus plicatilis were studied for two types of food — algae Monochrysis lutheri and baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae. The main regularities of changes in filtration rate and ration were studied in small culture volumes (1 ml) for adult amictic females depending on food concentration (1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 · 106 cells · ml−1), ambient temperature (16 and 26 °C), and salinity (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 ppt). B. plicatilis ration did not depend on the salinity, but was largely determined by temperature and food concentration. It was found that at 16 and 26 °C the dependence of the ingestion rate (ration) on food concentration differed greatly. A hypothesis was suggested to explain this phenomenon. A critical concentration of both types of food at which the increase in the rotifer ration ceased is 4 · 106 cells · ml−1. This is the minimum “background” food concentration for B. plicatilis mass cultivation. The average rations measured at the concentration of M. lutheri and S. cerevisae of 4 · 106 cells · ml−1 where 1.3 ± 0.1 and 4.8 ± 1.3 μg dry weight. · ind−1 · day−1 at 26 °C and 0.54 ± 0.1 and 1.9 μg d. w. · ind−1 · day−1 at 16 °C, respectively. The rations obtained in the laboratory were corrected for the conditions of rotifer commercial production in the open field in summer time. The correct values were 0.86 and 0.72 μg d. w. · ind−1 · day−1 for algae and yeast, respectively.  相似文献

Snow meltwater containing 36 ng ml−1NO3-N (raised here to between 95–101 ng ml−1NO3-N) and 112 ng ml−1NH4+-N was sprayed onto illuminatedUsnea sphacelataat 2°C in a 2-1 capacity transparent perspex chamber force-ventilated with either air or O2- (and CO2-) free N2. The NO3-concentration in meltwater recirculated through a layer ofU. sphacelatafell toc. 8 ng ml−1after 1·25 h. Although the pattern of decline was broadly comparable in both air and N2, the initial rate of decline was lower in N2. When undepleted meltwater was continuously sprayed onto the lichen and the effluent collected for analysis, the lichen was found to retain 55% of the wet deposited NO3in air but only 27% under N2. Up to 90% of NH4+supplied in a continuous spray of meltwater was retained by the lichen but this was affected little by O2and CO2deprivation.  相似文献

The effect of cultivation temperature on the ATP pool and adenylate energy charge (EC) in Escherichia coli has been studied in both batch and continuous cultures. In batch culture, μmax and the ATP pool increased with increasing growth temperatures between 27–42°C (from 0.26 to 0.62 h−1, and from 5.1 to 8.2 nmol/mg dry wt., respectively). In continuous culture at a constant dilution rate (D = 0.2 h−1), with increasing growth temperatures between 28–43°C, the ATP pool increased about 2-fold (from 4.2 to 8.1 nmol/mg dry wt) and the EC from 0.80 to 0.99.  相似文献

The industrially-important thermostable lipase, TliA, was extracellularly produced in the recombinant Pseudomonas fluorescens by the homologous expression of TliA and its cognate ABC protein exporter, TliDEF. To increase the secretory production of TliA, we optimized the growth temperature and the culture medium of P. fluorescens. The total amount and the specific productivity of lipase was highest at 25 °C of cell growth temperature, although maximal cell growth was observed at 30 °C. Using the culture medium composed of 20 g dextrin l?1, 40 g Tween 80 l?1 and 30 g peptone l?1, TliA was produced at a level of 2,200 U ml?1 in a flask culture. The TliA production increased about 3.8-fold (8,450 U ml?1) in batch fermentation using a 2.5 l fermentor, which was about 7.7-fold higher than that of previously reported TliA production.  相似文献

Seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax (L.), movements were investigated between June and November 1993 using acoustic telemetry under semi-natural conditions. In the thermal range tested (5–27 °C), two decreases in activity appeared at 12 and 22 °C and swimming activity increased at night for oxygen content greater than 10 mg L−1. Light levels also modified swimming activity at the extremes: low or high values both decreased swimming. Moreover, swimming activity was demonstrated to be sensitive to wind and showed an increase for wind speeds higher than 8 m s−1. Under cyclonic weather conditions, fish displayed higher activity levels than in anti-cyclonic conditions. We also observed that an individual, studied under contrasted ambiant conditions, showed more fluctuating activity levels than those displayed by several individuals studied in similar weather conditions. This emphasizes the weight of naturally combined environmental factors on fish behaviour. Finally, the behavioural responses produced by meteorological factors sustain the hypothesis of fish anticipating their habitat changes.  相似文献

Sugarcane bagasse is one of the low-cost substrates used for bioethanol production. In order to solubilize sugars in hemicelluloses like xylan, a new thermotolerant isolate of Candida tropicalis HNMA-1 with xylan-hydrolyzing ability was identified and characterized. The strain showed relative tolerance to high temperature. Our results demonstrated 0.211 IU ml?1 xylanase activity at 40 °C compared to 0.236 IU ml?1 at 30 °C. The effect of high temperature on the growth and fermentation of xylose and sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate were also investigated. In both xylose or hydrolysate medium, increased growth was recorded at 40 °C. Meanwhile, the efficiency of ethanol fermentation was adversely affected by temperature since yields of 0.088 g g?1 and 0.076 g g?1 in the xylose medium, in addition to 0.090 g g?1 and 0.078 g g?1 in the hydrolysate medium were noticed at 30 °C and 40 °C, respectively. Inhibitory compounds in the hydrolysate medium demonstrated negative effects on fermentation and productivity, with maximum ethanol concentration attained after 48 h in the hydrolysate, as opposed to 24 h in the xylose medium. Our data show that the newly thermotolerant isolate, C. tropicalis HNMA-1, is able to efficiently ferment xylose and hydrolysate, and also has the capacity for application in ethanol production from hemicellulosic sources.  相似文献

The limiting amount of nitrogen required to trigger lipid accumulation in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides ATCC 10788 was studied, batchwise, by subjecting washed mid-exponentially grown cells to nitrogen at levels of 10−2 M down to 10−4 M per g l−1 of lean cells (2–5% fat content) in a mineral medium where glucose was present at 35 g l−1. The results showed that lipid accumulation always started sometime after nitrogen reached a level of 3 × 10−5 M and the specific initial lipid productivity was constant. Furthermore, the cells were subjected to nine combinations of temperature and pH, from (25° C, pH 4.5) to (35° C, pH 7.5) in the mineral medium supplemented with 0.5 g l−1 of yeast extract and 1 g l−1 (NH4)2SO4. As was expected, lipid content in the cells was higher at 25° C, but pH around 6.0–7.5 slightly enhanced the effect of lower temperature. The effect of pH was also noticed to affect the size of changes in the temporal profiles of the oil's fatty acid distribution prior to nitrogen depletion, whereas no significant difference in the fatty acid composition of the oil was shown after exhaustion of nitrogen from the medium for all combinations of temperature and pH.  相似文献

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a replacement of conventional single-use plastics. Bioprocess conditions of the extreme halophilic archaeon Halogeometricum borinquense strain RM-G1 were selected resulting in the synthesis of 66.80 ± 1.69 % PHA (of cell dry mass) in 72 h using glycerol and tryptone as carbon and nitrogen sources respectively, yielding volumetric productivity of 0.206 ± 0.006 gL−1 h−1 in a repeated batch process in a small-scale bioreactor where 20 % of the production medium was used as the inoculum for the subsequent batch. The purified PHA was characterized as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) with 10.21 mol% 3-hydroxyvalerate content possessing glass transition temperature -12.6 °C, degradation temperature 285 °C, number average molecular weight 156,899 Da, weight average molecular weight 288,723 Da, polydispersity index 1.8 and melting temperatures 139.1 °C and 152.5 °C. Maximum (21.7 ± 0.6 L m-2 h−1) and average (17.2 ± 0.6 L m-2 h−1) flux values were their respective highest and crystallization time was its least (3.0 ± 0.16 h) when ΔT was 90 °C and polytetrafluoroethylene membrane was applied for desalination of the bioreactor effluent by Direct Contact Membrane Distillation. While using polyvinylidene fluoride membrane, maximum 25.5 ± 0.5 L m-2 h−1 and average 18.6 ± 0.2 L m-2 h−1 fluxes were obtained and crystallization time decreased (3.25 ± 0.16 h) even when ΔT was lowered by 20 °C.  相似文献

Twenty-one strains of thermophilic fungi in the Forintek culture collection were screened for their production of xylanolytic (and cellulolytic) enzymes in both solid and aqueous media containing various hemicellulosic and cellulosic substrates. Thermoascus aurantiacus strain C436 was selected as the best producer of extracellular xylanase (1,4-β-d-xylan xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8) enzymes. High xylanase activity was detected in fungal culture filtrates even when realistic lignocellulosic residues (including steam-exploded aspenwood and untreated aspenwood sawdust) were used as substrates. Maximum xylanase activity (575.9 U ml−1) was detected in cultures grown in Vogel's medium containing oat-spelt xylan. The xylanase activity exhibited a temperature optimum of 75°C and pH optimum around 5.0. The half-lives of the xylanase activity at 70 and 60°C were 1.5 h and 4 days, respectively. Over 90% of the xylanase activity was retained after 12 weeks at 50°C. Crude culture filtrates concentrated by membrane ultrafiltration could effectively hydrolyse xylan and steam-exploded aspenwood hemicellulose to release near theoretical yields of low molecular weight pentose oligomers.  相似文献
