    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei zwei Blei-exponierten Männern im Alter von 34 und 39 Jahren persistierte eine erhöhte Konzentration des Erythrozyten-Protoporphyrins um das Vier- bis Zwölffache der oberen Normgrenze über mehrere Jahre. Es handelt sich um eine Zink-Protoporphyrinämie, ohne daß eine Bleiintoxikation oder Anämie vorlag. Der 34jährige hatte sich über zehn Jahre regelmäßig als Blutspender zur Verfügung gestellt und war mehrfach schon wegen Eisenmangel behandelt worden. Hämoglobin, Erythrozytenzahl, Hämatokrit und Eisen lagen an der unteren Normgrenze; die Aktivitäten der Porphobilinogen-Synthase (PBG-S), Uroporphyrinogen-Synthase und -Decarboxylase in Erythrozyten sowie die Porphyrinvorläufer- und Porphyrinausscheidung im Urin war normal. Die Protoporphyrinämie wurde auf einen prälatenten/latenten Eisenmangel zurückgeführt. Bei dem 39jährigen hingegen war die Aktivität der PBG-S auf 388 µmol/l·h gegenüber dem Mittelwert der Kontrollen (1 190±210,x±SD,n=50) herabgesetzt, begleitet von einer geringgradig erhöhten Ausscheidung von δ-Aminolävulinsäure und Koproporphyrin im Urin und einer hochnormalen Bleikonzentration im Blut. Bei seinen Familienangehörigen fand sich weder eine Protoporphyrinämie noch eine hämatologische Störung. Sechs von acht Familienmitgliedern in drei Generationen wiesen eine erniedrigte Aktivität der PBG-S auf: 600±160;p〈0,001 verglichen zu Kontrollen. Diese Familienmitglieder sind heterozygot in bezug auf den PBG-S-Mangel; sie sind klinisch unauffällig im Vergleich zu Homozygoten mit einem akuten Porphyrie-Syndrom. Die Zink-Aktivierung des Enzyms und seine Reaktivierung durch Dithiothreitol waren normal im Gegensatz zur PBG-S von Patienten mit Bleivergiftung. Die Ursache der biochemischen Symptome einer subklinischen Bleiintoxikation bei dem Propositus wird in dem hereditären PBG-S-Defekt gesehen, der ihn für eine niedrige Bleiexposition sensibilisiert. Die Bestimmung der PBG-S wird zur Entdeckung Heterozygoter empfohlen. Als neue molekulare Basis für die Pathogenese der Bleiintoxikation wird der hereditäre PBG-S-Mangel erkannt.
    Notes: Summary For several years, a 4–12-fold increase of the upper normal limit in erythrocyte protoporphyrin concentrations persisted in two men 34 and 39 years of age who were chronically exposed to lead. We are dealing with a zinc protoporphyrinemia in both cases, without lead intoxication or anemia. The 34-year-old had been a regular blood donor for 10 years and had already been treated for iron deficiency several times. Hemoglobin, red cell counts, hematocrit, and iron were at the lower normal limit. The activity of porphobilinogen synthase (PBG-S), uroporphyrinogen-synthase and -decarboxylase as well as urinary porphyrin precursors and porphyrin excretion were normal. Protoporphyrinemia was said to be due to a prelatent/latent iron deficiency. In the 39-year-old, the activity of PBG-S was lowered to 388 µmol/l·h, as compared to the mean of controls (1,190±210,x±SD,n=50), in connection with a slightly elevated excretion of δ-aminolevulinic acid and coproporphyrin in the urine and a high-normal blood lead level. In his family there was no history of either a protoporphyrinemia or a hematological disturbance. Six of eight family members in three generations showed a diminished activity of PBG-S: 600±160,P〈0.001 compared to controls. These family members are heterozygous with regard to the PBG-S deficiency; they are clinically unobtrusive in comparison to homozygotes with an acute prophyria syndrome. Activation by zinc and reactivation by dithiothreitol were normal in contrast to PBG-S from patients with lead intoxication. The cause of biochemical symptoms of subclinical lead intoxication developed by the propositus is probably due to the hereditary PBG-S deficiency which sensitizes him to low-level lead exposure. The determination of red cell PBG-S activity can be recommended as a test detecting heterozygotes. The hereditary PBG-S deficiency is recognized as a new molecular basis for the pathogenesis of lead intoxication.

    Notes: The influence of the osmotic pressure on the viability of yeast cells was studied in batch processes. It could be found, that the viability is a function of the total osmotic pressure obtained by adding the partial osmotic values of the principal ingredients saccharose, ethanol and salts dissolved in the medium. At optimum process conditions (pH, T, etc.) the cells can tolerate the osmotic pressure up to fixed value π1. Above π1 the viability decreases linearly and upward of a second threshold value π2 nonlinearly. In the case of the used strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hansen Sc 5 the values of the both points are π1 = 25 atm and π2 = 47 atm.

    Notes: In commercial batch processes the productivity of product formation is low. But a significant increase of productivity can be achieved in continuous fermentations. By using high flow rate fermenter systems characterized by a relatively long retention time of biomass in comparison with the retention time of the liquid we can realize a high-performance fermentation. The problem of holding back the biomass within the reactor could be solved by means of membranes being impenetrable to the cells, but permeable to the hydraulic phase. Such a process technology was successfully tested for its applicability in alcoholic and lactic acid fermentations. The maximum productivities obtained on this way were ṗ = 120 g/l. · h for ethanol production and ṗ = 51 g/l. h for lactic acid fermentation, respectively.

    Notes: In growth-factor limited fermentations carried out in continuous high-flow rate fermenters the relationship existing between the specific ethanol formation rate and the ethanol concentration was found to change its characteristics from a linear function into a nonlinear one at high biomass concentrations. The deviation from the linear inhibitory behaviour of the cells was the greater the more the biomass concentration increased.A very good correspondence between the experimentally found productivities of ethanol formation and its adequate values obtained by calculation could be attained by using an improved steady-state productivity model, in which the variability of the function v = f(P) had been considered.

    Notes: Potato starch hydrolysis products were analyzed for glucose, maltose, higher oligomeric carbohydrates (to a degree of polymerization, dp 11) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) using high-performance liquid chromatography.For quick qualitative and quantitative analyses short glass columns [12] of high efficiency were useful.The hydrolyses were carried out by means of enzymes (e.g. α- and β-amylase) or mineral acids. For the acid degradation procedures hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid of different concentrations (0.1…2.0 N) during times ranging from 5 to 60 min at temperatures ranging from 100 to 140°C were used.Maximum glucose contents (163.4 g/l and 169.3 g/l) were found after 40 to 50 min of hydrolysis in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid heated to 120°C. These values are equivalent to 78.9% or 81.7% glucose yield referred to the initial potato starch amount, respectively. The calculated HMF concentrations were 140 and 180 mg/l.

    Notes: The shape of the temperature profile curve of ethanol production changes in the presence of ethanol. So the characteristic points of the curve are shifted to lower values at increasing ethanol concentrations. As a reason for it the potentiation of thermal deactivation effects by ethanol already at lower temperatures is assumed. Compared to it, the activation energy of ethanol for mation in the suboptimal temperature range was found to be unaffected by alcohol.

    Notes: Differential values of the specific ethanol production rate \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ v_{(t)} = \frac{1}{{x_{(t)} }} \cdot \frac{{dP}}{{dt}} $$ \end{document} can be calculated exactly from experimental batch fermentation process data by use of a nonlinear regression programme. The method used is based on the fact, that the function P = f(t) can be approximated by an exponential equation. The specific ethanol production rate is calculated then from the first differential derivation of this equation using the appropriated values of actual biomass concentration. For two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae a linear and nonlinear kinetic pattern, respectively, was found for product formation. This result can be explained by a simple mathematical relation according to ν=ν0 - a . Pb,in which the exponent becomes 1 in the case of linear kinetic pattern.

    Notes: Lactic acid and short-chain carboxylic acids C1-C5 were analyzed on an Aminex HPX-87H column using UV and RI detection. The HPLC method was applied to complex fermentation media of a microbial lactic acid formation process. The resulting chromatograms of the yeast extract or culture medium showed some UV-absorbing substances that interfered partially with peaks of short-chain carboxylic acids.In contrast to UV monitoring, RI detection gave only a few small peaks of these so-called “background chromatograms”. Also glucose used as substrate could be quantified in the culture medium, because of which RI detection should be preferred.Furthermore, a self-prepared cation-exchange resin (SAC = S-DVB) based on a poly(styrenedivinylbenzene) partially comparable in its properties with Aminex resins was useful for fast (about 4 minutes) and not too expensive determinations of lactic and acetic acid in fermentation media.Applying this separattion system to fermentation solutions detected by RI as well as UV monitoring results in the quantitative analysis of lactic acid kinetics identical with an Aminex HPX-87H column were achieved.Finally, the simplicity of lactic-acid analysis is illustrated by examples of dairy products only centrifugated and diluted in double distilled water before injecting on a cation-exchange column.

    Notes: The influence of sucrose concentration on the specific ethanol production rate was studied during batch processes using the yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hansen Sc 5. From experimental data a model could be derived for the simulataneous effect of substrate and product inhibition. It was found that both the decreases of fermentation activity of the cells caused by sucrose and ethanol have an additional relation to each other. This model also takes into consideration the fact that the maximum ethanol concentration P′ can't be realized at high substrate concentrations in a batch process. Compared to it sucrose concentrations below 100 g/l did not inhibit the ethanol production by the strain used in this investigation.

    Notes: The production costs of ethanol are dependent on the efficiency of the substrate-ethanol conversion to a high degree. The more the substrate used during the fermentation is converted into alcohol the better is the economy of the process.Therefore the ethanol yield Y SP is an important object of the process optimization.In batch fermentation processes the most essential influence factors are the initial biomass concentration X0, the initial substrate concentration S0, the temperature T, and the pH-value.A model reflecting the complex relationships between these influence factors and the ethanol yield could be obtained by regression. It allows an exact valuation of these optimum process parameters which are necessary for realizing high ethanol yields in the batch fermentation.For the strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sc 5 used in this research was found an ethanol yield maximum YSP = 0·5384 at the parameters X0 = 64.61 g/l S0 = 82.91 g/l T = 36.45°C pH = 6.54.
