Physicochemical properties of multicomponent poly(hydroxyalkanoates)

The properties of new five-component poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA) formed by short-and medium-chain monomers synthesized by the bacterium Wautersia eutropha B5786 were studied by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, and viscometry. The degree of crystallinity of PHA decreased from 72 to 57% as the molar fraction of hydroxyhexanoate increased from 2.5 to 18.0 mol%. The melting temperature (T _m) and decomposition temperature (T _d) of the multicomponent PHA are lower than those for poly(hydroxybutyrate), whose T _m and T _d are 168–170 and 260–265°C, respectively. Both parameters of the multicomponent PHA decrease to 156 and 252°C, respectively, as the hydroxyhexanoate mole fraction is raised. The effect of hydroxyhexanoate on the physicochemical properties of the PHA is similar to that of hydroxyvalerate observed previously.     

Silica gel dessication of amniotic membrane with related epithelium cells for ocular surface reconstruction

Cornea reparative regeneration when in various pathological states needs creating certain conditions to intensify the potential of regional stem cells mitotic activity. AIMS OF THE RESEARCH: To find out the degree of the epithelium AM preservation after preliminary processing and conservation by means of dehydration over silica gel with further sterilization; to study the effectiveness of clinical treatment of AM conserved in the surroundings with vital ability epithelium and AM dried over silica gel. MATERIALS AND METHODS: There was carried out an investigation of 18 samples of native amnion treated with antibiotics and 18 total surface amnion samples conserved by drying over silica gel and then sterilized by gamma rays. Clinical experiments were carried out on patients with severe chemical and thermal burns--18 people (21 eyes). After the burn trauma all the patients underwent the standard procedure of necrectomy, the covering of the eyeball with amniotic membrane dried over silica gel. CONCLUSION: The drying out of the amniotic membrane over silica gel on frames without being fixed on nitrocellulose paper makes the process of the amniotic membrane conservation simpler and makes it possible to preserve its unique biological qualities. The effectiveness of the regeneration of epithelium tissue of the eyeball surface with amniotic membrane dried over silica gel without the vital capacity cells of the epithelium layer is analogous to the regeneration of epithelium cells with amniotic membrane with vital capacity cells. With eye burns AM coverage hinders the formation of rough conjunctiva cicatrix, provides a favorable out-of-cell matrix substrate for epithelium migration and leads to quicker regeneration of one's own epithelium, makes further visual rehabilitation simpler.     

The restoration of anatomic form of atrophied alveolar processes of jaws with the help of bioimplant lioplast

The purpose of the present research was: 1. To investigate the opportunity of application of allogen osteoplastic materials such as Lioplast, received in Samara Tissue Bank of Samara State Medical University. 2. To work out a new technique of producing lyophilized allogen osteoplastic materials, such as Lioplast, with application of an ultrasonic method of clearing. 3. The development of various techniques of operative intervention on jaws for increase in volume of atrophied, as a result of secondary adentia, alveolar shoot. 4. The application of spongy allogen osteoplastic material as a skeleton for filling in surgical operations on jaws. 5. The demonstration of the Technique of a bone-periostic Lioplast 'sandwich' for formation of an alveolar shoot.     

Characteristics of proteins synthesized by hydrogen-oxidizing microorganisms

The study was conducted to determine the biological value of proteins synthesized by hydrogen-oxidizing microorganisms—the hydrogen bacteria Alcaligenes eutrophus Z1 and Ralstonia eutropha B5786 and the CO-resistant strain of carboxydobacterium Seliberia carboxydohydrogena Z1062. Based on a number of significant parameters characterizing the biological value of a product, the proteins of hydrogen-oxidizing microorganisms have been found to occupy an intermediate position between traditional animal and plant proteins. The high total protein in biomass of these microorganisms, their complete amino acid content, and availability to proteolytic enzymes allow for us to consider these microorganisms as potential protein producers.     

Physiological and Biochemical Characteristics and Capacity for Polyhydroxyalkanoates Synthesis in a Glucose-Utilizing Strain of Hydrogen-Oxidizing Bacteria, Ralstonia eutropha B8562

The physiological, biochemical, genetic, and cultural characteristics of the glucose-utilizing mutant strain Ralstonia eutropha B8562 were investigated in comparison with the parent strain R. eutropha B5786. The morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics of strain R. eutropha B8562 were similar to those of strain R. eutropha B5786. Genetic analysis revealed differences between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of these strains. The growth characteristics of the mutant using glucose as the sole carbon and energy source were comparable with those of the parent strain grown on fructose. Strain B8562 was characterized by high yields of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) from different carbon sources (CO₂, fructose, and glucose). In batch culture with glucose under nitrogen limitation, PHA accumulation reached 90% of dry weight. In PHA, β-hydroxybutyrate was predominant (over 99 mol %); β-hydroxyvalerate (0.25–0.72 mol %) and β-hydroxyhexanoate (0.008–1.5 mol %) were present as minor components. The strain has prospects as a PHA producer on glucose-containing media.     

Specificity of Lipid Composition in Two Botryococcus Strains,the Producers of Liquid Hydrocarbons

The structure of liquid hydrocarbons and fatty acids produced by the green alga Botryococcus was identified. Two representatives of this alga, Botryococcus braunii Kütz, strain IPPAS H-252, introduced into culture earlier and an organism isolated for the first time from the Shira Lake, were used for this identification. Fatty acid composition of B. braunii, strain H-252, lipids was characterized by a high content of trienoic acids of C16–C18 series. The hydrocarbon composition of this strain was represented by straight-chain and branched-chain C14–C28 components; long-chain linear aliphatic C20–C27 hydrocarbons (54.4%) and 2,6,10,14-tetramethylhexadecane (20.5%) predominated among them. The strain H-252 differed in its fatty acid and hydrocarbon composition from the strains described earlier as Botryococcus braunii. The fatty acid composition of the Botryococcus isolate was represented mainly by C12–C32 saturated and monoenoic acids. The hydrocarbons formed by this isolate were represented by dienoic and trienoic components. C29 (48.9–56.3%) and C31 (11.1–16.3%) hydrocarbons predominated among the C23–C31 dienoic hydrocarbons, and C27, C29, and C31 trienoic hydrocarbons comprised 2.5–2.6% of total hydrocarbons. This type of hydrocarbons and the lipid fatty acid composition were characteristic for the race A of B. braunii.
