Production of d-lactic acid from rice bran, one of the most abundant agricultural by-products in Japan, is studied. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii IFO 3202 and defatted rice bran powder after squeezing rice oil were used for the production. Since the rice bran contains polysaccharides as starch and cellulose, we coupled saccharification with amylase and cellulase to lactic acid fermentation. The indigenous bacteria in the rice bran produced racemic lactic acid in the saccharification at pH 6.0-6.8. Thus the pH was controlled at 5.0 to suppress the growth of the indigenous bacteria. L. delbrueckii IFO 3202 produced 28 kgm(-3) lactic acid from 100 kgm(-3) rice bran after 36 h at 37 degrees C. The yield based on the amount of sugars soluble after 36-h hydrolysis of the bran by amylase and cellulase (36 kgm(-3) from 100 kgm(-3) of the bran) was 78%. The optical purity of produced d-lactic acid was 95% e.e. 相似文献

The application of the radiopasteurization method to fermentation media consisting mainly of molasses was investigated. γ-Irradiation was found to have an excellent pasteurization effect on the fermentation media and at the same time to bring about an increase in the fermentation rate and yield of ethanol. Percent survivals in molasses decreased to ca. 70% by heating at 80°C for 30 min, to ca. 10% by irradiation with 3.0 × 105 rad and to ca. 1% by 6.0 × 105 rad. Irradiated mash was suitable for the medium of the “starter”, since the rate and the degree of the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in irradiated mash did not differ from those of the growth in heat-pasteurized mash.In the case of the molasses mash supplemented with nitrogen sources, the fermentation rate and yield of ethanol in irradiated mash were larger than those in heated mash. Besides, in the absence of nitrogen sources a 14% difference in fermentation yield was seen between the mash irradiated with 3.0 × 105 rad and the mash heated at 80°C. With the doses ranging from 1.0 × 105 to 9.5 × 105 rad, concentrations of total sugar and direct reducing sugar, pH, and optical density of molasses were little affected by irradiation. 相似文献

Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCg) and related polyphenolic compounds found in tea are known to have antioxidative activities. However, they also have pro-oxidative activities such as generation of hydrogen peroxide. In this report, we investigated the effect on cells and showed the potential usage of EGCg in cell preservation. H(2)O(2) was generated from EGCg at concentrations of more than 300 microg/mL for 6 h at 37 degrees C, and high cytotoxicity for L929 cells were shown. In contrast, in the presence of 1 microg/mL catalase, the amount of generated H(2)O(2) was significantly low and cytotoxicity decreased markedly. This indicates that catalase eliminated H(2)O(2) generated by degradation of EGCg. Although H(2)O(2) generation was prevented, L929 cell proliferation was slightly inhibited in proportion to the concentrations of EGCg. L929 was exposed able to be 300 microg/mL to EGCg and 1 microg/mL catalase for maximum 18 days. EGCg inhibited the growth of L929 cells, and cell proliferation was restarted immediately after medium change for removing EGCg. We concluded that EGCg had a reversible growth inhibition when H(2)O(2) was eliminated from cell cultures. 相似文献

Effectiveness of γ-irradiation as a protective means against post-harvest decay in ‘Donner’ strawberries produced in Gumma Pref., Japan, was investigated. In case when strawberries were kept at 23°C, 10-% infection due to saprophytic fungi, such as Botrytis cinerea, Rhizopus and Penicillium, was found 3 days after zero-kiloroentgen (kR) irradiation, 4 days after 100-kR irradiation, and 5 to 6 days after 200-kR irradiation. For the purpose of wrap-film, ordinary cellophane was found to be more favorable than water-proof cellophane at room temperature.Main saprophytic fungus of ‘Donner’ berries was isolated and identified to be Botrytis cinerea Persoon. Lethal dose of B. cinerea was determined from its survival curve. 相似文献

We measured the respiration rate of Aurelia aurita payingspecial attention to the relationship between its metabolic ratesand body mass throughout ontogeny of the jellyfish in a sexualgeneration. Two different regression lines between respirationrates and body dry weight were obtained in ephyra to young medusa(bell diameter 4.2–19 mm, 0.07–14 mg dry weight) and medusa(BD17-120 mm, 12-2100 mg DW), at respective temperatures of 10 and15 °C. The cut off point of the metabolic rates was foundat the developmental stage just being metamorphosed into medusashape (BD 12–20 mm). The slope value of medusa respiration ratewas close to isometric scaling (0.9), whereas that of ephyra toyoung medusa was lower (0.6). Ecological implications of allometricscaling in the early developmental stages of ephyrae and metephyraeare discussed. 相似文献

Abstract A highly sensitive method for the quantification of methanogens in anaerobic digestor sludges was developed, based on an analysis of ether-linked glycerolipids. Core lipids were prepared from total lipids by HF treatment and mild methanolysis, and these core lipids were quantified as the corresponding 9-anthroyl derivatives by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The amounts, in terms of cell carbon content, of Methanosaeta and Methanosarcina were proportional to the amounts of α-hydroxyarchaeol and β-hydroxyarchaeol, respectively. Moreover, the total amount of core lipids was well correlated with the cell mass of aceticlastic and H2 /CO2 -consuming methanogens. The limit of detection for Methanosaeta concilii was 17 ng of cell carbon when the signal/noise ratio was 3. This method allowed us to quantitate aceticlastic methanogens with high accuracy and to make a rough estimate of total methanogenic cells without any interference by the multifarious impurities that are present in anaerobic sludges. These results suggest that the present method will be a useful tool for investigations of methanogenic ecosystems. 相似文献

Muscular recovery after exercise is an important topic in sports medicine, and accurate and quantitative measurements of changes in muscle are required to assess muscular recovery. In the present study, we report a new analytical method to measure muscular changes quantitatively. The technique consists of three independent methods: image processing of two-dimensional MR images, morphological analysis using three-dimensional MR images, and diffusion tensor MRI. Using this method, we investigated changes in the quadriceps and biceps femoris and gluteus maximus muscles and surrounding tissues before and after 1 mo of exercise wearing training equipment. The subjects were 21 healthy adult female volunteers, 14 of whom wore training equipment and 7 who wore normal equipment. The percentage of adipose tissue in muscle after exercise in subjects who wore training equipment was on average 4.4% (P < 0.001) lower than that before exercise, and the peak point of the dorsal hip after exercise with use of the equipment was on average 10.8 mm higher than that before exercise. Further, the fractional anisotropy of water diffusion in muscles increased by an average of 0.039 (P < 0.001) after exercise with use of training equipment. In contrast, there was no significant difference before and after exercise in subjects who wore normal equipment. These results show that walking exercise while wearing training equipment thickens and tightens the muscular fiber tissues. This noninvasive measurement approach may allow quantitation of the athletic ability of the muscles, which is not measured conventionally, and is an effective method for analyzing skeletal muscles. 相似文献

Protoplasts with high division activity were obtained reproduciblyfrom mesophyll cells of axenic shoot culture of three wild speciesof Asteraceae, Artemisia vulgaris L., Chrysanthemum indicumL. and Ch. zawadskii Herbich, by means of a suitable combinationof enzymes with a gentle pipetting treatment. Ammonium ion was found to inhibit cell division in the protoplastculture of these Asteraceae species but to accelerate it inthe case of tobacco. The inhibiting effect of ammonium ion wasdrastic on the protoplast of Artemisia but moderate on thatof Ch. indicum and Ch. zawadskii. The total concentration ofthe major inorganic elements had little effect on the divisionfrequency of protoplasts in these species.
