The aerobic biodegradation of high concentrations of 1-propanol and 2-propanol (IPA) by a mixed microbial consortium was
investigated. Solvent concentrations were one order of magnitude greater than any previously reported in the literature. The
consortium utilized these solvents as their sole carbon source to a maximum cell density of 2.4 × 109 cells ml−1. Enrichment experiments with propanol or IPA as carbon sources were carried out in batch culture and maximum specific growth
rates (μmax) calculated. At 20 °C, μ
max values were calculated to be 0.0305 h−1 and 0.1093 h−1 on 1% (v/v) IPA and 1-propanol, respectively. Growth on propanol and IPA was carried out between temperatures of 10 °C and
45 °C. Temperature shock responses by the microbial consortium at temperatures above 45 °C were demonstrated by considerable
cell flocculation. An increase in propanol substrate concentration from 1% (v/v) to 2% (v/v) decreased the μ
max from 0.1093 h−1 to 0.0715 h−1. Maximum achievable biodegradation rates of propanol and IPA were 6.11 × 10−3% (v/v) h−1 and 2.72 × 10−3% (v/v) h−1, respectively. Generation of acetone during IPA biodegradation commenced at 264 h and reached a maximum concentration of
0.4% (v/v). The results demonstrate the potential of mixed microbial consortia in the bioremediation of solvent-containing
waste streams.

Lipids are important entomopathogenic nematode nutritional components because they are energy reserves and serve as indicators
of nematode quality. The composition and concentration of the media lipid component determine bacterial and nematode yields.
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and its symbiont, Photorhabdus luminescens, were cultured in media containing various lipid sources. As lipid concentration increased from 2.5% to 8.0% (w/v), the final
yield and productivity [calculated from the number of infective juveniles (IJ)] increased significantly from 2.1 × 105 IJ ml−1 to 2.8 × 105 IJ ml−1 (P < 0.05) and from 8.9 × 105 IJ l−1 day−1 to 11.8 × 105 IJ l−1 day−1 (P < 0.05), respectively. The nematode yield coefficient (IJ per gram of media), however, decreased from 2.8 × 106 to 2.2 × 106 (P < 0.05), while recovery increased from 45.3% to 58.0% (P < 0.05). Bacterial cell mass remained constant at 4.6 mg ml−1 with changing lipid content (P > 0.05). The largest nematode yield (2.8 × 105 IJ ml−1) was achieved within 8 days, using a medium containing an 8% (w/v) olive and canola oil (50:50 w/v) combination. Moreover,
developmental synchrony was achieved in this medium with 96% infective juveniles. In short, lipid sources rich in mono-unsaturated
fatty acids and poor in saturated fatty acids produced optimal nematode growth.

The carbon-flux via algal bloom events involves bacteria as an important mediator. The present study, carried out during the
spring inter-monsoon month of April 2008 onboard CRV Sagar Manjusha-06 in the Eastern Arabian Sea, addresses the bloom-specific
flow of carbon to bacteria via chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM). Eleven stations monitored were located in the
coastal, shelf and open-ocean areas off Ratnagiri (16°59′N, 73°17′E), Goa (15°30′N, 73°48′E) and Bhatkal (13°58′N, 74°33′E)
coasts. Visible bloom of “saw-dust” color in the Ratnagiri shelf were microscopically examined and the presence of cyanobacteria
Trichodesmium erythraeum and T. thieabautii with cell concentrations as high as 3.05 × 106 trichomes L−1 was recorded. Total bacterial counts (TBC) varied between 94.09 × 108 cells L−1 in the bloom to 1.34 × 108 cells L−1 in the non-bloom area. Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) concentrations averaged 2.27 ± 3.02 m−1 (absorption coefficient 325 nm) in the bloom to 0.28 ± 0.07 m−1 in the non-bloom waters respectively. CDOM composition varied from a higher molecular size with lower aromaticity in the
bloom to lower molecular size and increased aromaticity in the non-bloom areas respectively. Strong positive relationship
of TBC with Chlorophyll a (R
2 = 0.65, p < 0.01) and CDOM concentrations (R
2 = 0.8373, p = 0.01) in the bloom area indicated hydrolysis and/or uptake of CDOM by bacteria. Absorption by mycosporine-like amino acid
palythene (λ
max = 360 nm) was recorded in the filtrate of bloom. Morphotypes of Trichodesmium-associated bacteria revealed a higher frequency of Gram-positive rods. The role of bacteria in relation to changing CDOM
nature and as a factor in affecting oxygen content of the water column is discussed in context of the Arabian Sea. 相似文献

A Pseudomonas sp. strain NGK 1 (NCIM 5120) was immobilized in various matrices, namely, alginate, agar (1.8 × 1011 cfu g−1 beads) and polyacrylamide (1.6 × 1011 cfu g−1 beads). The degradation of naphthalene was studied, by freely suspended cells (4 × 1010 cfu ml−1) and immobilized cells in batches, with shaken culture and continuous degradation in a packed-bed reactor. Free cells brought
about the complete degradation of 25 mmol naphthalene after 3 days of incubation, whereas, a maximum of 30 mmol naphthalene
was degraded by the bacteria after 3–4 days of incubation with 50 mmol and 75 mmol naphthalene, and no further degradation
was observed even after 15 days of incubation. Alginate-entrapped cells had degraded 25 mmol naphthalene after 3.5 days of
incubation, whereas agar- and polyacrylamide-entrapped cells took 2.5 days; 50 mmol naphthalene was completely degraded by
the immobilized cells after 6–7 days of incubation. Maximum amounts of 55 mmol, 70 mmol and 67 mmol naphthalene were degraded,
from an initial 75 mmol naphthalene, by the alginate-, agar- and polyacrylamide-entrapped cells after 15 days of incubation.
When the cell concentrations were doubled, 25 mmol and 50 mmol naphthalene were degraded after 2 and 5.5 days of incubation
by the immobilized cells. Complete degradation of 75 mmol naphthalene occurred after 10 days incubation with agar- and polyacrylamide-entrapped␣cells,
whereas only 60 mmol naphthalene was degraded by alginate-entrapped cells after 15 days of␣incubation. Further, with 25 mmol
naphthalene, alginate-, agar- and polyacrylamide-entrapped cells (1.8 × 1011 cfu g−1 beads) could be reused 18, 12 and 23 times respectively. During continuous degradation in a packed-bed reactor, 80 mmol naphthalene
100 ml−1 h−1 was degraded by alginate- and polyacrylamide-entrapped cells whereas 80 mmol naphthalene 125 ml−1␣h−1 was degraded by agar-entrapped cells.

Solute mobilities in cuticular membranes of six species (Hedera helix, Malus domestica, Populus alba, Pyrus communis, Stephanotis floribunda, Strophantus gratus) were measured using plant hormones, growth regulators and other organic model compounds varying in molar volumes from 99
to 349 mL · mol−1 The dependence of mobilities (k*) on molar volume (V
x
) was exponential and could be described with equations of the type log
k*=log
k*0−′
V
x
. The y-intercepts (log
k*0) represent mobilities of a hypothetical solute of zero molar volume. The parameter β′ is a measure of size selectivity of
cuticular membranes and no differences among the six species were observed. At 25 °C the average β′ was 0.0095 mol · mL−1. Solute mobility decreased by about a factor of 8.9 when molar volume increased by 100 mL · mol−1 and the mobility of a compound with V
x
= 100 mL · mol−1 was about 700-fold higher than the mobility of a compound with V
x
= 400 mL · mol−1. Size selectivity decreased with increasing temperatures and for Strophantusβ′-values of 1.6 × 10−2 to 8.0 × 10-4 mol · mL−1 were obtained for 10 and 30 °C, respectively. The-intercepts (log k*0) differed among plant species by 3 orders of magnitude and since size selectivity was the same for all species, solute mobilities
for solutes having zero molar volumes were the sole cause for differences among species in solute mobilities and permeabilities.
We argue that these differences in k*0 are related to tortuosity of the diffusion path. These results were used to derive an equation which predicts rates of cuticular
penetration on the basis of k*0, the average size selectivity of 9.5 × 10−3 mol · mL−1 and the driving forces of penetration.

The relationship between body temperature (T
b) and the plasma concentrations of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and angiotensin II (AII) was examined in conscious, adult Pekin
ducks. Exposure of birds to an ambient temperature of 40 °C for 3 h increased T
b by about 1.5 °C and increased breathing rate five-fold. Plasma osmolality was elevated from the normothermic value of 294.9 ± 1.4
mosmol kg−1 by about 8 mosmol kg−1 Circulating AVT levels increased by about 2 pg ml−1 from a basal concentration of 4.98 ± 0.15 pg ml−1, a rise which could be accounted for by the change in osmotic status. Plasma AII concentrations were unchanged from the pre-heat
exposure value of 31.8 ± 3.4 pg ml−1. Time control birds, exposed only to an ambient temperature of 22 °C demonstrated no significant changes in any of the measured
variables. The results suggest that an increased T
b has no direct effect on the circulating concentrations of AVT or AII in ducks.

Water conductance of the cuticular membrane (CM) of mature sweet cherry fruit (Prunus avium L. cv. Sam) was investigated by monitoring water loss from segments of the outer pericarp excised from the cheek of the fruit.
Segments consisted of epidermis, hypodermis and several cell layers of the mesocarp. Segments were mounted in stainless-steel
diffusion cells with the mesocarp surface in contact with water, while the outer cuticular surface was exposed to dry silica
(22 ± 1 °C). Conductance was calculated by dividing the amount of water transpired per unit area and time by the difference
in water vapour concentration across the segment. Conductance values had a log normal distribution with a median of 1.15 × 10−4 m s−1 (n=357). Transpiration increased linearly with time. Conductance remained constant and was not affected by metabolic inhibitors
(1 mM NaN3 or 0.1 mM carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone) or thickness of segments (range 0.8–2.8 mm). Storing fruit (up to 42 d, 1 °C) used as a source of
segments had no consistent effect on conductance. Conductance of the CM increased from cheek (1.16 ± 0.10 × 10−4 m s−1) to ventral suture (1.32 ± 0.07 × 10−4 m s−1) and to stylar end (2.53 ± 0.17 × 10−4 m s−1). There was a positive relationship (r2=0.066**; n=108) between conductance and stomatal density. From this relationship the cuticular conductance of a hypothetical astomatous
CM was estimated to be 0.97 ± 0.09 × 10−4 m s−1. Removal of epicuticular wax by stripping with cellulose acetate or extracting epicuticular plus cuticular wax by dipping
in CHCl3/methanol increased conductance 3.6- and 48.6-fold, respectively. Water fluxes increased with increasing temperature (range
10–39 °C) and energies of activation, calculated for the temperature range from 10 to 30 °C, were 64.8 ± 5.8 and 22.2 ± 5.0 kJ
mol−1 for flux and vapour-concentration-based conductance, respectively.

Brass coupons (70% Cu 30% Zn) were exposed to a cooling freshwater system of an oil refinery, in order to investigate susceptibility
of the metal to biofilm formation. The coupons were fixed on bypasses at points which allowed the circulation of makeup, cooling
and return water. The number of aerobic, anaerobic and sulfate-reducing bacteria was determined in both the planktonic and
the sessile phases. Maximum bacterial concentrations were detected in the cooling water, corresponding to 2.1 ± 0.1 × 106 CFU ml−1 (planktonic phase) and 1.3 ± 0.2 × 105 CFU cm−2 (sessile phase) for aerobic bacteria and to 3.2 ± 0.3 × 105 cells ml−1 (planktonic phase) and 6.2 ± 0.7 × 105 cells cm−2 (sessile phase) for anaerobic bacteria. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were observed only in the planktonic phase, being
found in greater numbers in the return water. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis indicated that biofilm formation
occurred at the three monitored sites and showed a diversity in cell morphology. Nonetheless, no evidence of corrosion was
observed on the brass coupons during the experimental period.

Ten accessions belonging to the Brassica oleracea subspecies alba and rubra, and to B. oleracea var. sabauda were used in this study. Protoplasts were isolated from leaves and hypocotyls of in vitro grown plants. The influence of selected factors on the yield, viability, and mitotic activity of protoplasts immobilized
in calcium alginate layers was investigated. The efficiency of protoplast isolation from hypocotyls was lower (0.7 ± 0.1 × 106 ml−1) than for protoplasts isolated from leaf mesophyll tissue (2 ± 0.1 × 106 ml−1). High (70–90%) viabilities of immobilized protoplasts were recorded, independent of the explant sources. The highest proportion
of protoplasts undergoing divisions was noted for cv. Reball F1, both from mesophyll (29.8 ± 2.2%) and hypocotyl (17.5 ± 0.3%)
tissues. Developed colonies of callus tissue were subjected to regeneration and as a result plants from six accessions were
obtained. 相似文献

A gene expression system using recombinant Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (baculovirus) and Sf-9 cells has been scaled up to the 10-L tank level and shown to be capable
of producing herpes simplex virus (HSV) protease in serum-free media. High densities of Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf-9) cells were achieved by modifying two 10-L Biolafitte fermenters specifically for insect cell growth. The existing
Rushton impellers were replaced by marine impellers to reduce shear and the aeration system was modified to allow external
addition of air/O2 mixtures at low flow rates through either the sparge line or into the head space of the fermenter. To inoculate the tanks,
Sf-9 cells were adapted to grow to high cell densities (6–10 × 106 cells ml−1) in shake flasks in serum-free media. With these procedures, cell densities of 5 × 106 cells ml−1 were routinely achieved in the 10-L tanks. These cells were readily infected with recombinant baculovirus expressing the
247-amino acid catalytic domain of the HSV-1 strain 17 protease UL26 gene as a glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion protein (GST-247). Three days after infection at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 3 pfu cell−1, the GST-247 fusion protein was purified from a cytoplasmic lysate by Glutathione Sepharose 4-B affinity chromatography
with reproducible yields of 11–38 mg L−1 of recombinant protein and ≥ 90% purity. Maximum production of this protein was observed at a cell density of 5.0 × 106 cells ml−1.

The use of clove oil as a potential anaesthetic for freshwater amphipods was examined at 20 °C. Individuals of Gammarus minus, a common species in southern Illinois, USA, spanning the entire body size range (4.3–14.3 mm), were used to test four anaesthetic
concentrations varying from 1.48 × 10−4 ml ml−1 to 5.9 × 10−4 ml ml−1. Small-bodied individuals (mean size = 5.4 mm ± 0.27SE) were used to test additional concentrations, up to 14.7 × 10−4 ml ml−1, a 10-fold span, to identify potential lethal concentrations. At the lowest concentration, time to anaesthesia and recovery
was constant at all body sizes. For the three next higher concentrations, time to anaesthesia decreased with increasing concentration
while recovery time increased. Activity of amphipods was not affected by the ethanol carrier. In addition, activity did not
differ between amphipods that had recovered from anaesthesia and unexposed amphipods. At clove oil concentrations of 8.84
× 10−4 ml ml−1 and 14.7 × 10−4 ml ml−1, mortality was 7 and 40%, respectively, indicating, that 5.9 × 10−4 ml ml−1 was a safe working concentration. No mortality was observed with Gammarus acherondytes, a federally endangered cave amphipod on which the protocol with 80 μl of stock was used in the field. The method enabled
us to obtain information on the endangered amphipod which normally would have required the sacrifice of individuals. Thus,
research can continue on species for which population numbers are low and for which basic information is needed to formulate
meaningful recovery plans. 相似文献

Annual and interannual variability in phytoplankton at a permanent station off Kerguelen Islands, Southern Ocean 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
From November 1992 to February 1995 a quantitative and qualitative phytoplankton study was conducted at a permanent station
(Kerfix) southwest off the Kerguelen Islands, in the vicinity of the Polar Front (50°40′S–68°25′E). Phytoplankton populations
are low in this area both during summers and winters. They consist, in order of decreasing cell abundance, of pico- and nanoflagellates
(1.5–20 μm), coccolithophorids (<10 μm), diatoms (5–80 μm) and dinoflagellates (6–60 μm). Flagellates form the dominant group
throughout the year and attain the highest summer average of 3.0 × 105 cells l−1. Next in abundance year-round are coccolithophorids with the dominant Emiliania huxleyi (highest summer 1992 average 1.9 × 105 cells l−1), diatoms (summer 1992 average 1.0 × 105 cells l−1) and dinoflagellates (average 3.8 × 104 cells l−1). Winter mean numbers of flagellates and picoplankton do not exceed 8.4 × 104 cells l−1; those of the three remaining algal groups together attain 2 × 104 cells l−1. Summer peaks of diatoms and dinoflagellates are mainly due to the larger size species (>20 μm). The latter group contributes
most to the total cell carbon biomass throughout the year. Dominant diatoms during summer seasons include: Fragilariopsis kerguelensis, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Chaetoceros dichaeta, C. atlanticus, Pseudonitzschia heimii, and P. barkleyi/lineola. This diatom dominance structure changes from summer to summer with only F. kerguelensis and T. nitzschioides retaining their first and second positions. Any one of the co-dominant species might be absent during some summer period.
The variable diatom community structure may be due to southward meandering of the Polar Front bringing “warmer” species from
the north, and to the mixing of the water masses in this area. The entire community structure characterized both during summer
and winters by the dominance of flagellates can be related to deep mixing (ca. 40–200 m) of the water column as the probable
controlling factor.

The culture-medium composition was optimised, on a shake-flask scale, for simultaneous production of high activities of endoglucanase
and β-glucosidase by Thermoascus aurantiacus using statistical factorial designs. The optimised medium containing 40.2 g l−1 Solka Floc as the carbon source and 9 g l−1 soymeal as the organic nitrogen source yielded 1130 nkat ml−1 endoglucanase and 116 nkat ml−1β-glucosidase activities after 264 h as shake cultures. In addition, good levels of β-xylanase (3479 nkat ml−1) and low levels of filter-paper cellulase, β-xylosidase, α-l-arabinofuranosidase, β-mannanase, β-mannosidase, α-galactosidase and β-galactosidase were detected. Batch fermentation in
a 5-l laboratory fermentor using the optimised medium allowed the production of 940 nkat ml−1 endoglucanase and 102 nkat ml−1β-glucosidase in 192 h. Endoglucanase and β-glucosidase showed optimum activity at pH 4.5 and pH 5, respectively, and they
displayed optimum activity at 75 °C. Endoglucanase and β-glucosidase showed good stability at pH values 4–8 and 4–7, respectively,
after a prolonged incubation (48 h at 50 °C). Endoglucanase had half-lives of 98 h at 70 °C and 4.1 h at 75 °C, while β-glucosidase
had half-lives of 23.5 h at 70 °C and 1.7 h at 75 °C. Alkali-treated bagasse, steam-treated wheat straw, Solka floc and Sigmacell
50 were 66, 48.5, 33.5 and 14.4% hydrolysed by a crude enzyme complex of T. aurantiacus in 50 h.

A mesocosm experiment (enclosure volume 220 l) was designed such that sea ice inhabited by Arctic Sea ice organisms was formed
and maintained under natural conditions at 66°N in Rovaniemi, Finland. The experiment was run from natural freezing in December
1994 to melting in April 1995. The ice was inhabited by diatoms, chlorophyceae, heterotrophic flagellates, ciliates, nematodes
and turbellarians. Biomass in the ice, expressed as Chlorophyll a concentration, was 20–110 μg l−1; total cell densities varied from 5 × 106 to 35 × 106 cells l−1. Amongst phototrophic organisms, a succession from a flagellate-dominated community (Chlamydomonas sp.) to a multi-species diatom-dominated community was observed. Typical Arctic species such as Nitzschia frigida and Melosira arctica were present in the ice. Bacterial concentration varied between 2 × 108 and 7 × 108 cells l−1. At least two trophic levels were present in the ice.

The participation of cyclic nucleotide-dependent intracellular signalling pathways in the pigment translocation induced by
pigment-dispersing hormone (α -PDH) or pigment-concentrating hormone (PCH) was investigated in the erythrophores of the freshwater
shrimp, Macrobrachium potiuna. Cholera toxin, forskolin and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3′5′ monophosphate (dbcAMP) were able to induce pigment dispersion
with effective agonist concentrations for half maximal response (EC50 s) of 2.8 · 10−11 mol · l−1, 7.0 · 10−7 mol · l−1 and 3.3 · 10−7 mol · l−1, respectively. KT5720 (10−7 mol · l−1 and 10−6 mol · l−1) significantly shifted the dose response curve to α -PDH to the right. Dibutyryl cyclic guanosine 3′5′ monophosphate (dbcGMP)
was ineffective in inducing either pigment aggregation or dispersion. 2′5′ dideoxyadenosine (DDA) and SQ22,536 essentially
elicit a pigment-aggregating response in a dose-dependent manner. These effects were not due to the activation of purinergic
receptors, since concentrations up to 10−4 mol · l−1 of adenosine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and up to 10−3 mol · l−1 of uracil triphosphate (UTP) did not elicit pigment aggregation. In order to verify if PCH decreased cyclic adenosine 3′5′
monophosphate (cAMP) levels, cumulative dose-response curves to PCH in the absence and presence of pertussis toxin and 8-MOM-IBMX
were determined. However, neither drug significantly affected PCH activity. The levels of cAMP in the integument cells of
M. potiuna were significantly increased (P < 0.05) by α -PDH (10−7 mol · l−1) and forskolin (10−6 mol · l−1), but were not affected by PCH (10−7 or 10−10 mol · l−1). In conclusion, α -PDH seems to elicit pigment dispersion through the activation of a Gs-protein coupled receptor resulting
in cAMP increase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activation. Furthermore, although a decrease in cAMP was assumed
to be responsible in turn for the action of PCH, such a decrease could not be directly demonstrated.

The combined effects of temperature (2–46°C) and pH (1.55–6.25) on the growth of Candida pelliculosa isolated from guava nectar produced in Cameroon were studied using a turbidity method, ie measurement of optical density
at 630 nm. A quadratic polynomial model was constructed to predict the effects and interactions of these two environmental
conditions on the maximal optical density obtained (r
2 = 0.97). The relation between optical density and population density of C. pelliculosa (CFU ml−1) was also established using an exponential regression (r
2 = 0.99). According to the model, maximal growth conditions were 37°C and pH 6.25 for obtaining the maximal optical density
of 1.25 corresponding to about 60 × 106 CFU ml−1. A good agreement of the model was found between the predicted values and the observed values of maximal optical density.
The model was validated by the experimental values of maximal optical density obtained in the growth of C. pelliculosa in commercial guava nectar (pH 3.15).

The distributions of bacterial populations in sea ice and underlying seawater were investigated on the continental shelf of
the “Terre Adélie” area. A reference station was sampled weekly from January 1991 to January 1992. In winter, the survey included
a minimum of six sampling layers: surface and bottom ice, brine, seawater from the interface, and at 0.5 and 2 m depth. In
seawater, the total bacterial abundance ranged from 0.5 × 105 cells ml−1 in July to 6.0 × 105 cells ml−1 after ice break. Values reaching 2.5 × 106 cells ml−1 were recorded in the overlying ice cover. Mean cell volumes were twice as high in brine as in seawater. The saprophytic bacterial
abundance ranged from 5.0 × 104 CFU (colony-forming units) ml−1 in some winter interface samples to less than 1.0 × 103 CFU ml−1 in most of the summer seawater samples. In sea ice a clear decreasing gradient for most of the studied bacterial parameters
from the surface layers towards the bottom layer was found. The ice cover had a discernible impact on underlying seawater,
but its influence was restricted to a limited interface layer. 相似文献

Viral abundance, burst sizes, lytic production and temperate phage were investigated in land-fast ice at two sites in Prydz
Bay Antarctica (68°S, 77°E) between April and November 2008. Both ice cores and brine were collected. There was no seasonal
pattern in viral or bacterial numbers. Across the two sites virus abundances ranged between 0.5 × 105 and 5.1 × 105 viruses ml−1 in melted ice cores and 0.6 × 105–3.5 × 105 viruses ml−1 in brine, and bacterial abundances between 2.7 × 104 and 17.3 × 104 cells ml−1 in melted ice cores and 3.9 × 104–32.5 × 104 cells ml−1 in brine. Virus to bacterium ratios (VBR) showed a clear seasonal pattern in ice cores with lowest values in winter (range
1.2–20.8), while VBRs in brine were lower (0.2–4.9). Lytic viral production range from undetectable to 2.0 × 104 viruses ml−1 h−1 in ice cores with maximum rates in September and November. In brine maximum, lytic viral production occurred in November
(1.18 × 104 viruses ml−1 h−1). Low burst sizes were typical (3.94–4.03 viruses per bacterium in ice cores and 3.16–4.0 viruses per bacterium in brine)
with unusually high levels of visibly infected cells—range 40–50%. This long-term investigation revealed that viral activity
was apparent within the sea ice throughout its annual cycle. The findings are discussed within the context of limited data
available on viruses in sea ice. 相似文献

Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) degradation in Spirulina followed first-order reaction kinetics. At an accelerated temperature range of 45 to 55°C, the degradation rate constants
(k
r) of GLA obtained were 4.0 × 10−2 to 8.8 × 10−2 day−1. The energy of activation (E
a) was 16.53 kcal mol−1, and the Q10 was 2.22. Based on 20% GLA degradation, the shelf life of sun-dried Spirulina at 30°C is 263 days or 8.6 months using the Arrhenius plot, and 258 days or 8.5 months using the Q
10 approach.

Large-scale production has been the major obstacle to the success of many biopesticides. The spreading of microbial biocontrol
agents against postharvest disease, as a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fungicides, is quite dependent
on their industrial mass production from low-cost raw materials. Considerable interest has been shown in using agricultural
waste products and by-products from food industry as nitrogen and carbon sources. In this work, carob pulp aqueous extracts
were used as carbon source in the production of the biocontrol agent Pantoea agglomerans PBC-1. Optimal sugar extraction was achieved at a solid/liquid ratio of 1:10 (w/v), at 25°C, for 1 h. Batch experiments were
performed in shake flasks, at different concentrations and in stirred reactors at two initial inoculums concentrations, 106 and 107 cfu ml−1. The initial sugar concentration of 5 g l−1 allowed rapid growth (0.16 h−1) and high biomass productivity (0.28 g l−1 h−1) and was chosen as the value for use in stirred reactor experiments. After 22 and 32 h of fermentation the viable population
reached was 3.2 × 109 and 6.2 × 109 cfu ml−1 in the fermenter inoculated at 106 cfu ml−1 and 2.7 × 109 and 6.7 × 109 cfu ml−1 in the bioreactor inoculated at 107 cfu ml−1. A 78% reduction of the pathogen incidence was achieved with PBC-1 at 1 × 108 cfu ml−1, grown in medium with carob extracts, on artificially wounded apples stored after 7 days at 25°C against P. expansum. 相似文献
