    Notes: Suspensions of Lactobacillus plantarum cells were subjected to either conventional heating, continuous microwave (CW) or pulsed microwave (PW) irradiation at 50°C for 30 min. Samples exposed to PW showed greater reductions (2 ∼ 4 log) in survival counts than those treated with either conventional heating or CW irradiation. As exposure time increased, PW resulted in a remarkable increase in 260 nm-absorbing compounds that leaked into the suspending menstruum, as compared to CW or conventional heating, indicating that PW irradiated cells were the most injured. The growth of PW irradiated cells was delayed about 24h and the final acidity of the culture broth was about 60 ∼ 80% that of other cells treated with conventional heating or CW irradiation.

    Notes: Gene araA encoding an l-arabinose isomerase (AraA) from the hyperthermophile, Thermotoga neapolitana 5068 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene encoded a polypeptide of 496 residues with a calculated molecular mass of 56 677 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence has 94.8% identical amino acids compared with the residues in a putative l-arabinose isomerase of Thermotoga maritima. The recombinant enzyme expressed in E. coli was purified to homogeneity by heat treatment, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The thermophilic enzyme had a maximum activity of l-arabinose isomerization and d-galactose isomerization at 85°C, and required divalent cations such as Co2+ and Mn2+ for its activity and thermostability. The apparent Km values of the enzyme for l-arabinose and d-galactose were 116 mM (vmax, 119 μmol min−1 mg−1) and 250 mM (vmax, 14.3 μmol min−1 mg−1), respectively, that were determined in the presence of both 1 mM Co2+ and 1 mM Mn2+. A 68% conversion of d-galactose to d-tagatose was obtained using the recombinant enzyme at the isomerization temperature of 80°C.

    Notes: A thermophilic microorganism, Bacillus thermoleovorans ID-1, isolated from hot springs in Indonesia, showed extracellular lipase activity and high growth rates on lipid substrates at elevated temperatures. On olive oil (1.5%, w/v) as the sole carbon source, the isolate ID-1 grew very rapidly at 65°C with its specific growth rate (2.50 h−1) and its lipase activity reached the maximum value of 520 U l−1 during the late exponential phase and then decreased. In addition to this, isolate ID-1 could grow on a variety of lipid substrates such as oils (olive oil, soybean oil and mineral oil), triglycerides (triolein, tributyrin) and emulsifiers (Tween 20, 40). The excreted lipase of ID-1 was purified 223-fold to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sephacel ion-exchange chromatography and Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration chromatography. As a result, the relative molecular mass of the lipase was determined to be 34 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The enzyme showed optimal activity at 70–75°C and pH 7.5 and exhibited 50% of its original activity after 1 h incubation at 60°C and 30 min at 70°C and its catalytic function was activated in the presence of Ca2+ or Zn2+.

    Notes: To improve the efficiency of the glucoamylase signal peptide (GSP) of Saccharomyces diastaticus for the secretion of foreign proteins, hybrid plasmids containing one of four types of GSP mutant (m1, Pro−18→Leu−18; m2, Tyr−13→Leu−13; m3, Ser−9→Leu−9; m4, Asn−5→Pro−5) were constructed and evaluated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using Bacillus endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase (CMCase) as a reporter gene. CMCase secretion by m1, m2 and m3 GSP mutants was increased, likely resulting from a higher probability of the modified GSP to assume an α-helical structure. Especially in the case of m3, the substitution of Leu for a polar residue, Ser−9, in the hydrophobic region resulted in approximately a twofold increase in extracellular CMCase activity. In mutant 4, which disrupts the α-helix of GSP, CMCase was less efficiently secreted.

    Notes: Summary Non-thermal inactivation of Lactobacillus plantarum cells as influenced by pressure and temperature of pressurized carbon dioxide was investigated to evaluate its potential use for preservation of foods and biological substances. Microbial inactivation by the pressurized CO2 was dependent principally on the transfer rate of CO2 into cells and effectiveness could be improved by increasing pressure and temperature. Microbial reduction of more than 6 logs occurred within 30 min under CO2 pressure of 2000 psi at 30 °C. The results showed that the pressurized CO2 treatment could be used as a potential non-thermal preservation technology for foods.

    Notes: The optimal glucose feeding policy for the fed-batch culture of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis is presented. The biphasic nature of growth results in a singular feed rate policy that is unique to this organism. When the operating cost is high, the reduction in operating time forces the cells to utilize both glucose and ethanol toward the end of fermentation time and results in a decreasing rate of glucose addition, unlike the normally observed in creasing feed rate. The optimal feeding policy depends heavily on the initial conditions and is highly sensitive to changes in kinetic parameters. A semiempirical scheme for feedback optimization is suggested for the fed-batch yeast culture.
