Continuous ethanol production using induced yeast aggregates

Summary The induction of yeast cell aggregates in a column reactor was initiated by packing yeast cell paste of Saccharomyces uvarum into the column, and then YMP broth was fed into the column from the bottom at a linear flow rate of 2.5 cm/h. Thereafter, yeast cells aggregated in the column within 48 h without a supply of oxygen. When this yeast aggregate column reactor was used for continuous ethanol production, a final ethanol concentration of 10.8% (w/v) was obtained from 23% (w/v) of glucose in a YMP broth with a dilution rate of 0.05 h^-1, and 4.9% (w/v) was obtained from 10% (w/v) of glucose with a dilution rate of 0.6 h^-1. The theoretical yield was above 97% in both cases. The ethanol production rates were 13 g¹ h^-1 l^-1 and 90 g¹ h^-1 l^-1 for producing 10.8% (w/v) and 4.9% (w/v) of ethanol respectively. This column reactor was maintained at a steady state for more than one month.

Physico-chemical model for DNA alkaline elution: New experimental evidence and differential role of DNA length,chain flexibility and superpacking

For a better understanding of data provided by DNA alkaline elution technique, a new analytical model has been developed which takes into consideration both the physicochemical properties of in situ DNA strand (length and flexibility/superpacking) and the geometric and hydrodynamic configuration of the elution apparatus (flow and filter conditions). Simulation by this model of experimental data previously obtained before and after carcinogens administration, has shown that for constant flow and filter conditions elution profiles are dependent, not only from DNA molecular weight, but also from a parameter critically related to modifications in chain flexibility/superpacking. This has been confirmed by several independent observations, including the time-dependent changes in non-denaturing lysing solution monitored by hydroxylapatite and alkaline elution techniques.     

辐射对大鼠肺巨噬细胞Fc受体表达和特异吞噬功能的影响

以往的实验表明,巨噬细胞(Macrophages简称Mф)对一定辐射剂量内的照射表现出较强的辐射抗性。因此学者们转向研究照射后时间依赖性的Mф损伤变化。这主要是涉及照射后所致的迟发损伤效应。有关大剂量照射后,短时间观察Mф损伤效应的研究报道甚少。为此本文观察了大鼠肺巨噬细胞(AlveolarMacrophages简称AM)在体外受100—500 Gy     

The effects of 2-deoxy-D-glucose and sympathetic denervation of brown fat GDP binding in Sprague-Dawley rats

Central administration of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) decreases brown fat thermogenesis. This effect is suggested to be mediated via a central control mechanism. Our study was designed to determine the importance of the sympathetic nervous system in the response of brown fat to intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of 2-DG. Unilateral denervation of interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) was performed on male Sprague-Dawley rats (300 g body weight). Nine days after surgery, rats were injected i.p. with either saline vehicle (0.9% sodium chloride) or 2-DG (360 mg/kg wt) and then killed one hour later. Sympathetic denervation resulted in 50% decreases in total IBAT protein and in mitochondrial protein recovered. In the denervated lobes, mitochondrial GDP binding (expressed as nmol/mg mitochondrial protein and as total activity recovered) was decreased to 36% and 18%, respectively. Injection of 2-DG did not change mitochondrial protein content in either the innervated or denervated IBAT. In the innervated lobes, 2-DG significantly lowered GDP binding to 55% of that in saline-treated animals, whether expressed per mg mitochondrial protein or as total recovered activity. In contrast, 2-DG did not further decrease GDP binding in the denervated lobes. In conclusion, the effects of i.p. injection of 2-DG on brown fat thermogenesis (as evidenced by GDP binding) appear to be primarily mediated via the sympathetic nervous system.     

M protein (M1) of influenza virus: antigenic analysis and intracellular localization with monoclonal antibodies.

A panel of 16 monoclonal antibodies recognizing M protein (M1) of influenza virus was generated. Competition analyses resulted in localization of 14 monoclonal antibodies to three antigenic sites. Three monoclonal antibodies localized to site 1B recognized a peptide synthesized to M1 (residues 220 to 236) with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titers equivalent to or greater than that seen with purified M1; therefore, site 1B is located near the C terminus of M1. Sites 2 and 3 localize to the N-terminal half of M1. Antigenic variation of M proteins was seen when the monoclonal antibodies were tested against 14 strains of type A influenza viruses. Several monoclonal antibodies showed specific recognition of A/PR/8/34 and A/USSR/90/77 M proteins and little or no reactivity for all other strains tested. Immunofluorescence analysis with the monoclonal antibodies showed migration of M protein to the nucleus during the replicative cycle and demonstrated association of M protein with actin filaments in the cytoplasm. Use of a vaccinia virus recombinant containing the M-protein gene demonstrated migration of M protein to the nucleus in the absence of synthesis of gene products from other influenza virus RNA segments.     

Stable Defined Substrate for Turbidimetric Assay of Endoxylanases

A stable xylan suspension was prepared and characterized. Hydrolysis of the particles converts them into soluble fragments, thereby lowering the turbidity of the suspension. The small volume of the assay mixture, the short incubation time required, and the simplicity of the procedure permit the rapid analysis of many samples. Furthermore, the procedure can be used to assay xylanase activities in the presence of other reducing materials and is also useful for monitoring low-level xylanase activities.     

Intervention trial with selenium for the prevention of lung cancer among tin miners in Yunnan,China

This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of conducting a double-blind clinical trial for the prevention of lung cancer with selenium (Se) in Yunnan Tin Corporation, the People's Republic of China, where the incidence rates of lung cancer are extraordinarily high among the miners. Forty healthy miners were randomized to either 300 μg of Se in high Se malt cakes or an identical placebo of malt cakes daily for one year. Subjects consumed their usual daily diet. The low Se concentrations in plasma (0.05±0.008 μg/mL) and hair (0.442±0.085 μg/g) reflected their low dietary Se intake in the control subjects. In Se-supplemented group, the Se status was increased by 178% for serum and 194.8% for hair. The serum GSHpx activity was increased by 155.7%, whereas the lipid peroxide level was reduced by 74.5% compared to the placebo. The results of UDS assay indicated that the lymphocyte DNA damage induced by ultraviolet irradiation and carcinogen 3,4-benzpyrene could be protected by Se supplementation. Se-supplementation did not affect the liver function test (SGPT), as well as the concentrations of hemoglobin, albumin, and cholesterol. Thus, daily intake of 300 μg Se in form of Se-malt as a chemopreventive measure is safe and effective to humans with low Se status.
