    Notes: Summary Removal of gaseous metabolites in an aerated fermenter affects ajmalicine production by Catharanthus roseus negatively. Therefore, the role of CO2 and ethylene in ajmalicine production by C. roseus was investigated in 3 l fermenters (working volume 1.8 l) with recirculation of a large part of the exhaust air. Removal of CO2, ethylene or both from the recirculation stream did not have an effect on ajmalicine production. Inhibition of ethylene biosynthesis in shake flasks with Co2+, Ni2+ or aminooxyacetic acid did not affect ajmalicine production. However, the removal of CO2 did enhance the amount of extracellular ajmalicine.

    Notes: Abstract The productivity of a cell culture for the production of a secondary metabolite is defined by three factors: specific growth rate, specific product formation rate, and biomass concentration during production. The effect of scaling-up from shake flask to bioreactor on growth and production and the effect of increasing the biomass concentration were investigated for the production of ajmalicine by Catharanthus roseus cell suspensions. Growth of biomass was not affected by the type of culture vessel. Growth, carbohydrate storage, glucose and oxygen consumption, and the carbon dioxide production could be predicted rather well by a structured model with the internal phosphate and the external glucose concentration as the controlling factors. The production of ajmalicine on production medium in a shake flask was not reproduced in a bioreactor. The production could be restored by creating a gas regime in the bioreactor comparable to that in a shake flask. Increasing the biomass concentration both in a shake flask and in a stirred fermenter decreased the ajmalicine production rate. This effect could be removed partly by controlling the oxygen concentration in the more dense culture at 85% air saturation.

    Notes: A metabolic model for biological phosphorus removal under denitrifying conditions has been established. The model is based on previous work with aerobic phosphorus removal. The form of the kinetic equations used is the same as for the aerobic model. The main difference is the value of P/NADH2 ratio in the electron transport phosphorylation with nitrate (δN). This value was determined independently from batch tests with an enriched culture of denitrifying phosphorus-removing bacteria. The measured δN was approximately 1.0 mol ATP/mol NADH2. This indicates that the energy production efficiency with nitrate compared to oxygen is approximately 40% lower. These batch tests were also used to identify a proper set of kinetic parameters. The obtained model was subsequently applied for the simulation of cyclic behavior in an anaerobic-anoxic sequencing batch reactor at different biomass retention times. The simulation results showed that the metabolic model can be used successfully for the denitrifying dephosphatation process. The obtained kinetic parameters for denitrifying enrichment cultures, however, deviated from those obtained for the aerobic enrichment cultures. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Using available biochemical information, metabolic networks have been constructed to describe the biochemistry of growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis on a wide variety of carbon substrates. All networks contained only two fitted parameters, the P/O ratio and a maintenance coefficient. It is shown that with a growth-associated maintenance coefficient, K, of 1.37 mol ATP/ C-mol protein for both yeasts and P/O ratios of 1.20 and 1.53 for S. cerevisiae and C. utilis, respectively, measured biomass yields could be described accurately. A metabolic flux analysis of aerobic growth of S. cerevisiae on glucose/ethanol mixtures predicted five different metabolic flux regimes upon transition from 100% glucose to 100% ethanol. The metabolic network constructed for growth of S. cerevisiae on glucose was applied to perform a theoretical exercise on the overproduction of amino acids. It is shown that theoretical operational product yield values can be substantially lower than calculated maximum product yields. A practical case of lysine production was analyzed with respect to theoretical bottlenecks limiting product formation. Predictions of network-derived irreversibility limits for Ysp (μ) functions were compared with literature data. The comparisons show that in real systems such irreversibility constraints may be of relevance. It is concluded that analysis of metabolic network stoichiometry is a useful tool to detect metabolic limits and to guide process intensification studies. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The growth of plant cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus in batch fermentors was studied at different initial phosphate levels of the medium. On the basis of the observations and existing knowledge with respect to phosphate metabolism in cultured C. roseus cells, a structured mathematical model was developed for the description of the kinetics of growth and intracellular accumulation of glucose and phosphate, as a function of glucose and phosphate supply. It was shown that the model offers not only good description of the growth of the cells in batch culture at different initial phosphate levels, but also provided a satisfactory description of the growth in glucose limited chemostats. © 1993 Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Oxygen and nutrient limitation was investigated in order to identify the origin of a lower specific ajmalicine production in Catharanthus roseus cultures at high cell densities in an induction medium. The effect of oxygen limitation was explored by comparing two identically aerated and agitated high cell density bioreactor cultures with dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of 15% and 85% of air saturation, with respect to alkaloid formation and related enzymes activities. Oxygen had an evident effect on ajmalicine production: in the high DO cultures production was more than 5 times higher than in the low DO cultures. The difference in ajmalicine production between high and low DO could not be explained by the enzyme activity profiles. Moreover, the productivity in the high density culture could not restored to the level of a low density culture (at a high DO) by increasing the DO alone. The effect of nutrient limitation was studied with response surface methodology in shake flask cultures. Nutrient limitation could not be demonstrated to be responsible for the productivity loss. Alkaloid and enzyme measurements in the shake flask cultures supported previous findings that the tryptamine pathway may regulate alkaloid production, provided that the terpenoid pathway is sufficiently active. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In the aerobic phase of the biological phosphorus removal process, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate, produced during anaerobic conditions, is used for cell growth, phosphate uptake, and glycogen formation. A metabolic model of this process has been developed. The yields for growth, polyphosphate and glycogen formation are quantified using the coupling of all these conversions to the oxygen consumption. The uptake of phosphate and storage as polyphosphate is shown to have a direct effect on the observed oxygen consumption in the aerobic phase. The overall energy requirements for the P-metabolism are substantial: 25% of the acetate consumed during anaerobic conditions and 60% of the oxygen consumptions is used for the synthesis of polyphosphate and glycogen. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The relation between dissolved oxygen (DO) and the ajmalicine production rate of Catharanthus roseus was investigated in 15-L tank reactors at constant stirrer speed and gas flow rate. Below a DO concentration of 29% of air saturation the ajmalicine production rate was less than 0.06 μmol/g/d. Above a DO of 43% the ajmalicine production rate was constant at 0.21 μmol/g/d. Between a DO of 29% and 43% there was a strong relation between the ajmalicine production rate and the DO concentration. After a period of at least 12 days at DO ≤29% the culture lacked the ability to adapt to a DO ≥57%. A kinetic equation is proposed for the relation between DO and the specific ajmalicine production rate. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A structured metabolic model is developed that describes the stoichiometry and kinetics of the biological P removal process. In this approach all relevant metabolic reactions underlying the metabolism, considering also components like adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nic-otinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH2) are describedbased on biochemical pathways. As a consequence of the relations between the stoichiometry of the metabolic reactions and the reaction rates of components, the required number of kinetic relations to describe the process is reduced. The model describes the dynamics of the storage compounds which are considered separately from the active biomass. The model was validated in experiments at a constant sludge retention time of 8 days, over the anaerobic and aerobic phases in which the external oncentrations as well as the internal fractions of the relevant components involved in the P-removal process were monitored. These measurements include dissolved acetate, phosphate, and ammonium; oxygen consumption; poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB); glycogen; and active biomass. The model satisfactorily describes the dynamic behavior of all components during the anaerobicand aerobic phases.© 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

    Notes: Plant cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus and Nicotiana tabacum were grown in stirred tank bioreactors operated in batch and continuous mode. The stoichiometry of growth of both species in steady-state glucose limited chemostats was studied at a range of different dilution rates. A linear relation was applied to describe specific glucose uptake, oxygen consumption, and carbon dioxide production as a function of the growth rate. Specific respiration deviated greatly from the linear relation. An unstructured mathematical model, based on the observed stoichiometry in the glucose limited chemostats, was applied to describe the growth in batch culture. From a comparison between the observed growth pattern in batch fermentors and computer simulations it appeared that the stoichiometry of growth of the C. roseus culture was different under steady-state and dynamic conditions. It was concluded that a mathematical model for the growth of suspension culture plant cells in which the biomass is considered to be a single compound with an average chemical composition is of limited value because large changes in the conmposition of the biomass may occur. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
