    Notes: A new osmotolerant mutant strain of Zymomonas mobilis was successfully used for ethanol production from beet molasses. Addition of magnesium sulfate to hydrolyzed molasses allowed repeated growth without the need of yeast extract addition. The kinetics and yields parameters of fermentation on media with different molasses concentrations were calculated. The anabolic parameters (specific growth rate, μ, and biomass yield, YX/S) were inhibited at elevated molasses concentrations while the catabolic parameters (specific ethanol productivity, qp, and ethanol yield, Yp/s) were not significantly affected. In addition to ethanol and substrate inhibition, osmotic pressure effects can explain the observed results.

    Notes: The physiology and central carbon metabolism of Corynebacterium glutamicum was investigated through the study of specific disruption mutants. Mutants deficient in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PPC) and/or pyruvate kinase (PK) activity were constructed by disrupting the corresponding gene(s) via transconjugation. Standard batch fermentations were carried out with these mutants and results were evaluated in the context of intracellular flux analysis. The following were determined. (a) There is a significant reduction in the glycolytic pathway flux in the pyruvate kinase deficient mutants during growth on glucose, also evidenced by secretion of dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde. The resulting metabolic overflow is accommodated by the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) acting as mechanism for dissimilating, in the form of CO2, large amounts of accumulated intermediates. (b) The high activity through the PPP causes an overproduction of reducing power in the form of NADPH. The overproduction of biosynthetic reducing power, as well as the shortage of NADPH produced via the tricarboxylic acid cycle (as evidenced by a reduced citrate synthase flux), are compensated by an increased activity of the transhydrogenase (THD) enzyme catalyzing the reaction NADPH + NAD+↔NADP+ + NADH. The presence of active THD was also confirmed directly by enzymatic assays. (c) Specific glucose uptake rates declined during the course of fermentation and this decline was more pronounced in the case of a double mutant strain deficient in both PPC and PK. Specific ATP consumption rates similarly declined during the course of the batch. However, they were approximately the same for all strains, indicating that energetic requirements for biosynthesis and maintenance are independent of the specific genetic background of a strain. The above results underline the importance of intracellular flux analysis, not only for producing a static set of intracellular flux estimates, but also for uncovering changes occurring in the course of a batch fermentation or as result of specific genetic modifications. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: To alleviate plasmid instability and to prolong the production phase of subtilisin, integrable plasmid and spore mutants are used. Compared with batch-type shake flask cultures, spore mutants' ability to produce subtilisin can be well pronounced in fed-batch and continuous cultures. Hence, the two culture methods make it possible to identify the peculiar characteristics of the spore mutants unobtainable in batch culture. Spore mutants can enhance subtilisin productivity and prolong subtilisin production time in fed-batch culture as well as enable us to use very low dilution rates (〈0.1 h-1) without losing productivity in continuous culture, thereby improving the conversion yield of the nitrogen source. At 0.05 h-1 the spollG mutant of Bacillus subtilis DB104 (Δnpr Δapr) (Emr) spollG (Bimr):: pMK101 (Cmr) showed a subtilisin yield about ten times higher than that from wild-type DB104 (Δnpr Δapr)::pMK101 (Cmr). © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description / Table of Contents: Influence of grain size on mechanical properties and dry oscillating sliding wear of Al2O3-ceramicsSpecimens with average grain sizes varying between about 0.8 μm and 12 μm were produced by cold isostatic pressing of high purity Al2O3-powder followed by sintering between 1300°C and 1700°C. Hardness, Young's modulus, bending strength and fracture toughness were measured as a function of average grain sizes. Tribological tests were carried out on the different microstructures at normal laboratory air and room temperature by using a ring-on-block tribometer.Experimental results showed the dependence of mechanical properties on grain size, hardness and bending strength obeying a Hall-Petch type relation, approximately. Coefficient of friction was relatively independent of grain size under the test conditions used. However, wear intensity increased substantially if a critical grain size was surpassed. This was due to a change in mechanisms of material removal which was confirmed by scanning electron microscopical studies of the worn surfaces.
    Notes: Aus hochreinem Al2O3-Pulver wurden durch kaltisostatisches Pressen und Variation der Sintertemperatur zwischen 1300°C und 1700°C Formkörper mit unterschiedlichen mittleren Korngrößen zwischen etwa 0,8 und 12 μm hergestellt. Untersucht wurde der Einfluß der Korngröße auf mechanische und tribologische Eigen-schaften.Die Ergebnisse zeigten, daß mechanische Eigenschaften wie Härte, E-Modul, Biegebruchfestigkeit und Bruchzähigkeit von der Korngröße bzw. den Sintertemperaturen abhingen, wobei im Fall der Härte und Bruchfestigkeit näiherungsweise eine Hall-Peteh-Beziehung vorlag. Während die Reibungszahl relativ unabhängig von der Korngröße war, trat in der Verschleißintensität aufgrund geänderter Mechanismen ein starker Anstieg mit zunchmender Korngröße auf. Rasterelektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen zeigten, daß der Verschleiß durch plastische Verformung, Mikrobruch, Kornfragmentierung und Deckschichten beeinflußt wurde.

    Notes: In this paper we have reviewed the feasibility of using a shock wave lithotripter to loosen the interface between the bone and acrylic bone cement for revision arthroplasty. We have reviewed the physics of shock wave and its applications in medicine, especially its interaction with tissues. The calculations show that the energy is greatly reduced at the interface both in the soft tissue-bone interface and cement-bone interface. On the other hand, a tensile and compressive pressure can be operated at the cement-bone interface that can cause the interface to break if the pressure exceeds the tensile strength of the cement-bone interface.Subsequent papers will deal with in vitro and in vivo application of the shock wave in the treatment of the cement-bone interface in order to weaken it and consequently for easier extraction of bone cement from the intramedullary canal.

    Notes: In order to apply the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter (ECWSL) technique to the loosening of the bone-cement interface for the extraction of the cement during revision arthroplasty it is essential to know the dose-response characteristics. The present study shows that the number of shocks needed to break the interface between a 2- and 6-mm-thick bovine femoral bone and bone cement is similar to the fatigue behavior of a material, that is, Log(N) = C(kV) + D, where N is the number of shock impulses, kV is the power setting of the lithotripter machine in kilovolts, and C and D are constants. Iso-pressure distribution of the traveling shock wave front through a simulated bone in a Plexiglass® tube using Fuji® pressure film showed quantitative pressure contours from which one can understand the effective area of shock wave and its distribution. The most effective area of the shock wave was about 1.5 cm in diameter at 23 and 25 kV with pressure at least 7.0 MPa which is more than sufficient to break the bone-cement interface in tension.

    Notes: The present study was conducted to compare the push-out strength of the treated and control samples obtained after implantation of intramedullary rod in canine femurs with bone cement to simulate the femoral stem implantation for 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months. Contralateral femur served as control. The result showed a significant decrease in push-out interfacial strength after shock wave treatment (average 48.4% decrease compared with control, p 〈 0.0001) which is similar to the in vitro results. There was no significant difference if the shock treatment was applied and left for 2 weeks or 4 weeks compared to the ones tested immediately after sacrifice. There were some soft tissue damage immediately following shock treatment in the focal area but this returned to normal in 2 weeks. Human cadaveric femoral bones and the canine bone (the dosage level was higher for the human bone than canine). The number of impacts used to extract the bone cement plug out of a human femur segment (5-cm long) decreased about 68% at 23 and 25 kV treatment power level. These preliminary studies indicate that the shock wave can be utilized to reduce the interfacial strength of the bone and bone cement although more studies are needed to assess its efficacy in terms of cost, long-term effect on patients and the exact mechanism of the loosening before this technique can be used clinically.

    Notes: Aspects of thermal, morphological, and rheological properties of biodegradable poly-D(-)(3-hydeoxybutyrate) (PHB) blended with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) have been studied. Thermal properties and morphology of the blends were examined by scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. A rotational theometer with parallel plate geometry was also adopted to investigate the rheological properties of these blends. In addition, dynamic ciscoelasticity was measured by a Rheovibron as functions of time and temperature. From these measurements, PHB and PEO were observed to be miscible in the melt state. In the case of the blend systen 80/20 PHB/PEO by weight, the vacant domains of the PHB were filled with PEO particles, and this morphological state enhanced the rheological properties. Furthermore, PHB and its blends were found to have high crystallinities, but to have unstable thermal behavior about Tm.
