    Notes: A. paraffineus ATCC 19558 grown in MMSM (modified mineral salts medium) containing hydrocarbon produced surfactant, with a maximum CMC-1 value obtained by using hexadecane as the carbon source. No activity of surface active agent in whole broth was observed when glucose was used in the MMSM instead of hexadecane. The biomass concentration obtained with glucose was about 40% of that obtained with hexadecane. Glucose (4%) in the medium contaning hexadecane caused a 27 and 21% decrease of biomass and surfactant concentrations, respectively. In the process of surfactant production, glucose can be used as a carbon source for growth, and hexadecane added later can serve for production of the surface active agent. The optimum temperature for production of surfactant is 27°C.

    Notes: The partition of surfactants and a biosurfactant-producing microorganism was studied in polyethylene glycol and dextran aqueous two-phase systems. In the presence of sodium phosphate, surfactants distributed themselves according to charge. Cationic surfactants preferred the bottom phase, while anionic surfactants were attracted to the top phase. Incresing the phosphate molarity or the pH resulted in a more 1-sided surfactant partitioning. Biosurfactant partitioning was weaker than synthetic surfactant partitioning due to the weaker effective charge and lack to strong specific affinity for any of the phase-forming polymers. Bacillus Subtilis cells partitioned very storngly to the bottom phase. The bioscurfactant, surfactin, produced by this microorganism partitioned to the top phase. Batch fermentations were carried out in an aqueous 2-phase system. Surfactin was produced in larger quanities in the 2-phase fermentation than in the regular mineral salts medium.

    Notes: This article presents a mathematical model for biomass, limiting substrate, and dissolved oxygen concentrations during stable operation of self-cycling fermentation (SCF). Laboratory experiments using the bacterium Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1 and ethanol as the limiting substrate were performed to validate the model. A computer simulation developed from the model successfully matched experimental SCF intracycle trends and end-of-cycle results and, most importantly, settled into an unimposed periodicity characteristic of stable SCF operation. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Self-cycling fermentation (SCF) in a stirred tank reactor was applied to the biodegradation of phenol by Pseudomonas putida. The technique resulted in stable and repeatable performance. Complete substrate consumption was achieved under all operating conditions investigated. SCF resulted in substrate utilization rates as high as 14.5 kg of phenol per cubic meter of fermentor volume per day of fermentation, higher than those that have been reported for batch, CSTR, and packed column fermentors. A mathematical model of the self-cycling fermentation process was expanded to include inhibitory substrate-microorganism combinations, and was shown to provide a good fit to both end-of-cycle and intracycle experimental data. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The presence of anions in solution was found to inhibit the uptake of La3+, Cd2+, Pb2+, UO2+2, and Ag+ by Rhizopus arrhizus biomass. The effects ranged from total inhibition of Cd2+ and Pb2+ uptake at equimolar concentrations of EDTA to no change in uptake of La3+ or UO2+2 at 12-fold molar excesses of Cl- or CO2-3. No anion was found to enhance metal uptake levels, and the degree of inhibition generally followed the series: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$${\rm EDTA } \ge \ge {\rm SO}_{^{^{^{\rm 4} } } }^{{\rm 2} - } \ge {\rm Cl}^ - \ge {\rm PO}_{^{^{^{\rm 4} } } }^{{\rm 3} - } \ge {\rm glutamate} \ge {\rm CO}_{^{^{\rm 3} } }^{{\rm 2} - } $$\end{document} The chemical equilibrium model REDEQL2 was adapted to treat metal uptake by R. arrhizus biomass and used to predict the effects of anions in solution. Comparisons with the experimental results are made and discussed in light of the assumptions underlying the model.
