Production of 2,3-butanediol in a membrane bioreactor with cell recycle

Summary The production of 2,3-butanediol by Enterobacter aerogenes DSM 30053 was studied in a cell recycle system with a microfiltration module. Emphasis was put on the influence of oxygen supply, cell residence time, dilution rate, and pH. Under optimal conditions a productivity as high as 14.6 g butanediol + acetoin/l per hour was achieved with a product concentration of 54 g/l and a product yield of 88%. This productivity is three times higher than that of an ordinary continuous culture. The achievable final product concentration of a cell recycle system was limited by the accumulation of the inhibiting by-product acetic acid, which increased very rapidly at low dilution rate. To maximize product concentration a fed-batch fermentation was carried out with stepwise pH adaption at high cell density. A final product concentration of 110 g/l was obtained with a productivity of 5.4 g/l per hour and a yield of 97%.     

血友病患者血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒抗体检测

对浙江省1982～1984年注射了美国产浓缩Ⅶ因子制剂的18例血友病患者,用酶联免疫吸附法(ELTSA)检测了血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒(LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ)抗体,发现4例阳性,并经免疫荧光试验和Western印迹法证实。2例应用了国产浓缩Ⅷ因子者抗体阴性。一例从美国来华旅游死于艾滋病者,LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ抗体阳性。本研究证明,LAV/HTLVⅢ病毒巳通过美国生产的Ⅷ因子制剂传入中国。     

百日咳杆菌去内毒素及保护性抗原的纯化

内毒素(Endotoxin,简称ET)是百日咳全菌苗(Bordetellapertussis vaccine)产生副作用的主要毒素之一,且不易除去。现有的分离方法,如蔗糖密度梯度离心法,较繁琐,成本高。本文采用Sepha-cryl S-300凝胶层折法可以简便有效的去除大部分内毒素。初步毒素试验结果表明:已达到日本生物制品规格的要求。两种保护性抗原FHA和LPF-HA也得到进一步分离纯化,为今后研制高效的百日咳组分菌苗提供了实验条件。     

Dual action of respiratory inhibitors: inhibition of germination and prevention of dormancy induction in lettuce seeds

`Grand Rapids' lettuce Lactuca sativa L. seeds germinate readily at 15°C but poorly at 25°C in darkness. When held in dark at 25°C for an extended period, the ungerminated seeds become dormant as shown by their inability to germinate or transfer to 15°C in darkness. Induction of dormancy at 25°C was prevented by exposure to CN<sup>−</sup>, azide, salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), dinitrophenol, and pure N<sub>2</sub> as determined by subsequent germination at 15°C on removal of inhibitors. The effectiveness of inhibitors to break dormancy declined as dormancy intensified. At relatively low levels, CN<sup>−</sup>, SHAM, and azide promoted dark germination at 25°C while at high levels they were inhibitory. Uptake of O<sub>2</sub> by seeds held at 25°C for 4 days in 1.0 millimolar KCN was inhibited by 67% but was promoted 61% when KCN was removed. Correspondingly greater inhibition (79%) and promotion (148%) occurred when 1.0 millimolar SHAM was added to KCN solution. When applied alone, SHAM had little effect on O<sub>2</sub> uptake. These data indicate that Cyt pathway of respiration plays a dominant role in the control of both dormancy induction and germination of lettuce seeds, and `alternative pathway' is effectively engaged in presence of CN⁻. The channeling of respiratory energy use for processes governing germination or dormancy is subject to control by physical and chemical factors.

A scheme is proposed that illustrates compensatory use of energy for processes controlling dormancy induction and germination. A block of germination, e.g. by low water potential polyethylene glycol solution or a supraoptimal temperature spares energy to be utilized for dormancy induction while a block of dormancy induction by low levels of CN⁻ (similar to GA and light effects) drives germination. Blocking both processes by inhibitors (e.g. CN⁻, CN⁻ + SHAM) presumably leads to accumulation of `reducing power' with consequent improvement in O₂ uptake and oxidation rates of processes controlling germination or dormancy induction upon removal of the inhibitors.
