    Notes: A correlation for estimating the diffusion coefficients of protein molecules is presented. The correlation is based upon literature values of the protein diffusion coefficients and molal volumes for 143 proteins. The correlation can be used for the estimation of diffusion coefficients using only molecular weight. Accuracy is such that a linear regression on 301 proteins showed 75% of the diffusion coefficients estimated fell within 20% of the experimental values. The relationship between this correlation, the Stokes-Einstein equation, and the Wilke-Chang correlation is discussed.

    Notes: In a recent publication, a technique was outlined for measuring surface aeration rates in an agitated vessels while sparging, and it was shown that surface aeration rates fall rapidly with increasing sparge rates. That work was conducted in a 0.61 m diam vessels. The work reported here was done in a small vessel (0.22 m diam) where surface aeration has been reported to be of particular significance. In general, the results obtained in the small vessel confirmed those in the large one and in addition were generally in good agreement with those recently published elsewhere for an almost identical geometry. For typical practical power inputs and sparge rates, the rate of surface aeration was never more than 20% of the sparge rate and generally less than 5%. These results indicate that surface aeration is of considerably less importance than has generally been believed following the findings of workers who estimated its effect by comparing KLa values under unsparged conditions with those when sparging.

    Enhancement of cellulose accessibility and enzymatic hydrolysis by simultaneous wet milling (1980)

    Notes: It has been shown that the rate of enzymatic saccharification of cellulosic materials including “pure” cellulose (Whatman CF-11 cellulose), newsprint, lignocellulose (prehydrolyzed to remove hemicelluloses), and wood can be substantially increased by simultaneous wet milling. An enhanced hydrolysis rate was sustained above that observed for ball milling: providing a more extensive saccharification. The cellulosic substrates were wet milled with a variety of grinding elements, such as sand, glass beads, and stainless-steel beads, agitated in a shaker bath. Simultaneous hydrolysis was achieved with a 2% substrate slurry in a 0.1M acetate buffer at 45°C and pH 5. The effectiveness of this process was dependent upon the lignified matrix of the cellulose microfibrils, the grinding elements, and the oscillation frequency of the shaker bath. Wet milling “pure” cellulose for 48 hr, with 3.5 mm glass beads and 200 oscillations/min (opm), yielded 1031 mg reducing sugar/g substrates (93% saccharification) as compared to 483 mg (44%) for the ball-milled sample and 253 mg (23%) for the unmilled material. With the lignified substrates stainless-steel beads (3.5 mm) were more effective than glass. For lignocellulose 529 mg sugar/g substrate (93% saccharification) could be obtained by wet milling with cellulase for 24 hr. This was about three times greater than that of the ball milled (169 mg, 30%) and 10 times greater than that of the unmilled (52 mg, 9%) substrates. The method was also effective for wood particles (60 mesh) giving 143 mg sugar/g wood (approximately 38% saccharification) in 48 hr, whereas the ball-milled sample gave only 79 mg (21%) and the unmlilled substrate 38 mg (10%). These observations can be explained on the basis of the current crystalline theory for the morphology of the cellulosic microfibrils. The advantage of wet milling and simultaneous hydrolysis apparently depends on a continuous generation of accessible sites and sustained rapid hydrolysis rate as the saccharification proceeds, where in the pretreated substrates the hydrolysis rate slow down as the active sites are reduced.

    Notes: β-Xylosidase from a commercial Aspergillus niger preparation was purified by differential ammonium sulfate precipitation and either gel permeation or cation exchange chromatography, giving 16-fold purification in 32% yield for the first technique or 27-fold purification in 19% yield for the second. The second method in addition almost completely removed interfering β-glucosidase activity. Enzymes prepared by this method was immobilized to 10 different carriers, but only when it was bound to alumina with TiCl4 and to alkylamine porous silica with glutaraldehyde were substantial efficiencies and stabilities achieved. With alumina, the variation of activation procedure, amount of β-xylosidase offered, and activation solution composition yielded maximum activities of over 40 U/g with approximately 70% immobilization efficiency. Variation of binding pH and incubation time led to a maximum immobilized activity of 1.3 U/g with 78% immobilization efficiency on silica.

    Notes: Cells form the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (ATCC 26012) were successfully immobilized by entrapment in a polyacrylamide gel. The resulting gel showed high methanol oxidase activity especially after treatment with a detergent (CTAB). The enzymatic properties of the gel-entrapped cell were not very different from that of the soluble enzyme except that no inhibition was observed at high methanol concentration. In continuous reactors, the gel-entrapped cells showed a much higher stability than other enzyme preparations. The inactivation mechanism was investigated and proved to be the oxidation of essential SH group(s) of the methanol oxidase molecule by hydrogen peroxide. Treatment with β-mercaptoethanol prevented inactivation or regenerated activity.

    Notes: Polymethylglutamate (PMG), a synthetic polypeptide, was used as a new carrier to immobilize urease (EC 3.5.1.5) and uricase (EC 1.7.3.3) by the azide method. The enzymes could be immobilized onto PMG in various forms, such as film, fiber, coating on various beads, and a silicon tube. The retained activities of the immobilized enzymes were excellent (more than 95%), therefore it was possible to immobilized almost all activities of the enzymes added in the coupling mixtures. Heat stabilities of the resulting immobilized enzymes were markedly improved, while the optimal pH and Km values remained almost unchanged. The urease immobilized on the PMG-coated glass beads packed in a column, was found to retain its activity more than 80% of the initial value, even after the occasional use for a year. In view of the improved retained activities and stabilities of the immobilized enzymes, PMG may therefore be a very versatile matrix for the immobilized enzymes.

    Notes: Heat conduction solution enable rapid determination of the heats of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism of substrate by microorganisms. Aliquots of 1.0 ml cell suspension, 5 × 109 cell/ml, were mixed with a few dozen nmol substrate contained in 0.5 ml, under a controlled atmosphere of air, O2, or N2. At these substrate concentration, with adapted microorganisms, metabolism and its heat generation are usually complete within 300 to 600 sec. The raw data yield ΔHapp values. The ΔHapp were determined in the range 0.001 to 0.010% substrate, and extrapolated (limit substrate concentration →0), to yield Δ0H̄, the limiting differential molar heat of metabolism. The Δ0H̄ values express the heat generated when there is rapid metabolism but little new growth, minimal contribution by H+ transfer from metabolites, and maintenance of aerobicity or anaerobicity as specified. Escherichiacoli B/5 was used for aerobic and anaerobic combustion of eight sugars. Pseudomonas multivorans, and an Acinetobacter, strain B-1, were used for aerobic metabolism of benzene, toluene, naphthalene, and a methylnaphthalene. The larger heats of combustion of the hydrocarbons enable the use of aqueous solutions of hydrocarbons well below their solubility limits. The quotient Δ0H̄/n (n = atoms carbon/molecule substrate) varies from (-)36 to (-)67 kcal/mol carbon for the sugars. The most reduced sugar yields the largest exothermic heats. The quotient varies from (-)27 to (-)81 kcal/mol carbon for the aromatic hydrocarbons. Comparison of the calorimetric heats of metabolism of those from total aerobic combustion in aquo (where available) give measure of the efficiencies with which the heat contents of the aqueous substrate are used by the bacteria.

    Notes: From 1972 to 1977 a large laboratory effort was devoted to determining data on efficacy, safety, environmental impact (on nontarget organisms), and some preliminary field work using several isolates of Bacillus sphaericus. The B. sphaericus strains were found to be specific in their mosquito larvicidal activity, not causing mammalian toxicity nor apparent perturbation of the environment. During this period several fermentation and industrialization problems were investigated so that by 1978, using new strains and cultures, it was possible to have prepared kilogram amounts of an active dry stable powder, of strain 1593, for field evaluation. These field evolution. These field evaluations are presently still in progress. Control has been seen particularly against Culex, Anopheles, and Psorophora species, with some what less control aganst Aedes species. Unlike the agriculturally oriented Bacillus thuringiensis candidates, B. sphaericus bacterial cell, which is digested in the larval midgut (within a peritrophic membrane), releasing a toxin as early as 15 min after ingestion. Subsequent death of the larva ensues. Recent evidence suggests that applied B. sphaericus powder will survive in aquatic situations (ditches, ponds, and tree holes) for at least nine month. Comparisons of the B. sphaeicus strains with recently isolated strains of B. thuringiensis (var. israelensis), the latter being particularly active against Aedes species, indicates that they may be useful complements of each other in overall mosquito control strategies. The recent isolation of several new strains of B. thuringiensis, from WHO-CCBC accessions from Roumania, indicate that although the B. thuringiensis isolate is a rare event when compared to the occurrence of B. sphaericus isolates (they usually occur together in accessions from which B. thuringiensis is isolated), several new useful strains of B. thuringiensis should be anticipated. The longevity of the B. thuringiensis strains in the wild has not yet been investigated.

    Notes: Partial acid hydrolysis was studied as a per treatment to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis, such a pretreatment was carried out in a continuous flow reactor on oak corn Stover, newsprint, and Solka Floc at temperatures ranging from 160 to 220°C, acid concentration ranging from 0 to 1.2%, and a fixed treatment time of 0.22 min. The resulting slurries and solids were than hydrolyzed with Trichoderma ressei QM 9414 cellulase at 50°C for 48 hr. For all substrates except Solka Floc, increased glucose yields were achieved during enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated materials as compared to hydrolysis of the original substrate. In several cases, after pretreatment, 100° of the potential glucose content of the substrate was converted to glucose after 24hr of enzymatic hydrolysis. It is felt that the increased glucose yields achieved after this pretreatment are due to acid's removal of hemicellulose, reduced degree of polymerization, and possibly due to a change in the crystal structure of the cellulose.

    Notes: Enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble soybean protein by a protease enzyme produced by Penicillium duponti K 1104, was investigated in a batch reactor. The reaction conditions were 30-55°C and pH 3.4-3.7. The mechanism of solubilization of the insoluble protein by the Penicillium duponti enzyme was deduced from a series of experiments. Kinetic models were developed that involved adsorption followed by peptic digestion of protein, inhibition of low-molecular-weight peptides, and enzyme deactivation. The uncoupled kinetic parameters were estimated using the Marquardt nonlinear parameter estimation algorithm. A bang-bang production of soluble and partially soluble protein is suggested for higher productivity. The essential amino acids pattern of the enzyme-Hydrolyzed soy protein was comparable with the unhydrolyzed protein isolate. Aggregation of the soluble protein for an extended time was observable. The low-molecular-weight soluble protein was incorporated into noncarbonated beverages. The amount of protein that could be incorporated into a can of 355 ml noncarbonated beverage, without observable changes in the optical density and also aggregation of the protein, was 2.5 g soluble protein. Beverages with caramel color showed excessive decrease in optical density and precipitation. The kinetics and diffusion in a multipore immobilized-enzyme recycle reactor will be considered in part II of this series.

    Notes: A simple model is developed for the energy transformation in growing microbial systems. The model is based on a linear equation for ATP consumption in the processes of growth and maintenance. A combination of this equation with macroscopic balances for the various components, the systems exchanges with the environment, and application of the concepts of the elementary balance allow the derivation of linear equations for the exchange of substrate, oxygen, and carbon dioxide with the environment. For growth on one sole carbon and energy source the model allows the definition of a critical substrate yield are expected and below which is decreasing substrate yield and energy supply growth limitation are expected. This restriction can be interpreted in a variety of other ways. It supplies a rationale for non-energy-production-coupled transfer of hydrogen to oxygen or wasteful expenditure of ATP in growth on highly reduced substrates. It also allows the formulation of a limit to the maximum yield on oxygen that can never be exceeded in growth on highly reduced substrates.

    Notes: Many changes that occur in a cell during the cell cycle can be demonstrated in synchronous cultures and can reveal dimensions of cell metabolism not attainable by the study of balanced growth of asynchronous populations in batch cultures or the steady state in chemostat cultures. The release of 14CO2 from specifically labeled glucose by phased (continuously synchronized) cultures follows a characteristic pattern (profile) that depends upon the stage in the cell cycle and the period of labeling used. Successive profiles throughout a cycle showed differences that were altered under different nutrient-limiting growth conditions. Profiles obtained with glucose-1-14C, glucose-2-14C, glucose-3,4-14C, and glucose-6-14C and phased cells of Candida utilis under N-, P-, and C-limited growth demonstrated the variable character of the metabolic activity that occurred in the cells while contour changes within the profiles across the cycle indicated possible correlations with activities of the hexose monophosphate, Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas, and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways during the cell cycle. The basis of these changes and their use as elementary parameters for study of problems of physiological changes in vivo are considered.

    Notes: An enzyme electrode is described for quantitative determination of phenol at micromolar concentrations. Immobilized phenol hydroxylase is attached to the surface of a Clark oxygen electrode. The Maximum rate of oxygen consumption is linearly dependent on phenol concentration over the 0.5-50μM range. The electrode can be used for at least 150 assays without an activity loss. Readout is very rapid - within 30 sec of sample addition. The electrode response is independent of pH between pH 6.5 and 9.5. The response increases linearly with temperature in the interval 10-40°C. It is necessary to incubate the enzyme electrode in a buffer containing NADPH for a few minutes before the addition of sample. This is to make the electrode response independent of the diffusion rate of this cosubstrate. This and other diffusional effects on the performance of the phenol electrode are discussed.

    Stability of the Cellulase of Trichoderma reesei under use conditions (1980)

    Notes: Enzyme stability studies have been reinvestigated under the conditions used for cellulose hydrolysis (pH 4.8, 50°C, 24 hr). The cellobiohydrolase (CBH) component as measured on Avicel is less stable than other enzymes of the cellulase complex, and is 60% inactivated by merthiolate (and other Hg compounds) under the above conditions. Endo-β-1,4-glucanase is much more stable, and more resistant to merthiolate and other compounds. Under unshaken conditions the Avicelase of the Rutgers strain C 30 shows greater stability to heat than that of other available strains. Biocides must be selected not only for their ability to prevent contamination, but also for their compatibility with cellulases. Tetracycline and chlortetracycline are inexpensive, effective in very low concentrations, have no harmful effect on the enzymes, and are compatible with the yeasts that subsequently grow on the sugar solutions to produce alcohol. Attempts have been made to stabilize the enzymes by chemical modification in such a way as to maintain their solubility. Glutaraldehyde treatment greatly increased the enzyme size, lowered the pI values, and gave a slight shift in the pH activity curve. There was, unfortunately, no increase in enzyme stability, and the activity of enzymes on solid celluloses was adversely affected. Shaking greatly reduced the hydrolysis of Avicel by Trichoderma reesei C 30 enzyme. The adverse effect was accompanied by a decrease in recoverable enzyme and protein.

    Studies of growth conditions in wood for three white-rot fungi and their cellulaseless mutants (1980)

    Notes: White-rot fungi, which have the ability to degrade all the wood components including lignin, are of great interest in biotechnological processes based on wood and other lignocellulosic materials. It was demonstrated earlier that enough lignin can be degraded to cause a decrease in the energy demand for production of thermomechanical pulp if wood chips are pretreated by cellulaseless mutants of white-rot fungi. This paper concerns the growth conditions in wood for three white-rot fungi and their cellulaseless mutants in order to determine optimal conditions for such pretreatment processes. The pH and temperature optima have been determined as well as the growth rate in wood. The results show that the growth rate in wood. at least for Cel 44 (a cellulaseless mutant of Sporotrichum pulverulentum), is not the rate-limiting step in delignification. From different mixtures of urea and NH4H2PO4 the optimal nitrogen source was determined for the mutants. The optimal C/N ratio was found to vary between 160/1 and 400/1. It is suggested that the lower the C/N ratio, the faster the growth. It was also demonstrated that both water- and acetone-extractable substances in wood supported the growth of cellulaseless mutants. When some glucose was added to the wood, the weight loss caused by Cel 44 increased. All these observations support earlier findings that lignin in wood cannot be degraded by white-rot fungi unless a more easily metabolizable carbon source is used simultaneously.

    Notes: The partition of n-hexadecane in the spent growth medium of Acinetobacter sp. HOI-N was determined by measuring the increase in the relative aqueous solubility of 3H-hexadecane as compared to controls. The amount of hexadecane partitioned was proportional to the protein concentration. The specific solubility of hexadecane (nmol/mg protein) was analyzed by least-squares fitting yielding an average slope of 0.6 with a standard deviation of 0.3, indicating either nonequilibrium of hexadecane or physical aggregation of protein. The amount of hexadecane partitioned was concentration dependent yielding optically clear microemulsions at hexadecane concentrations of less than 1.4mM and macroemulsions at hexadecane concentrations of 1.4mM or greater. Preliminary results indicated that hexadecane and partitioned by a lipoprotein complex.

    Notes: Crude extract from sweet sorghum supplemented with vetch juice was utilized as the carbohydrate source for fermentative production of lactic acid. Fermentation of media containing 7%(w/v) total sugar was complex completed in 60-80 hr by Lactobacillus plantarum, product yield averaging 85%. Maximum acid production rates were dependent on pH, initial substrate distribution, and concentration, the rates varying from 2 to 5 g(liter·hr.) The lactic acid yield was lowered to 67% under limited medium supplementation. The fermented ammoniated product contained over eight times as much equivalent crude protein (N × 6.25) as the original medium. Unstructured kinetic models were developed for cell growth, lactic acid formation, and substrate consumption in batch fermentation. With the provision of experimentally determined kinetic parameters, the proposed models accurately the fermentation process.

    Notes: In recent years considerable effort has been made in the Netherlands toward the development of a more sophisticated anaerobic treatment process, suitable for treating low a strength wastes and for applications at liquid detention times of 3-4 hr. The efforts have resulted in new type of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process, which in recent 6 m3 pilot-plant experiments has shown to be capable of handling organic space loads of 15-40 kg chemical oxygen demand (COD)·m-3/day at 3-8 hr liquid detention times. In the first 200 m3 full-scale plant of the UASB concept, organic space loadings of up to 16 kg COD·m-3/day could be treated satisfactorily at a detention times of 4 hr, using sugar beet waste as feed. The main results obtained with the process in the laboratory as well as in 6 m3 pilot plant and 200 m3 full-scale experiments are presented and evaluated in this paper. Special attention is given to the main operating characteristics of the UASB reactor concept. Moreover, some preliminary results are presented of laboratory experiments concerning the use of the USB reactor concept for denitrification as well as for the acid formation step in anaerobic treatment. For both purposes the process looks feasible because very satisfactory results with respect to denitrification and acid formation can be achieved at very high hydraulic loads (12 day-1) and high organic loading rates, i.e., 20 kg COD·m-3/day in the denitrification and 60-80 kg COD·m-3/day in the acid formation experiments.

    Notes: The possibilities of using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) heavy ends, predominantly volatile liquid n-alkanes (a location-specific hydrocarbon feedstock) for single-cell protein (SCP) production are examined against criteria established to define potentially attractive SCP production processes. The factors discussed include the use of the heat of vaporization for fermentor cooling, the efficiency of conversion of nalkane vapors, problems of maintaining constant composition substrates when feeding volatile liquid n-alkane vapors to laboratory fermentors, the possible solvent effect of liquid n-alkanes, and the possibilities of competitive inhibition. The study confirms that mixed volatile n-alkane feedstocks will introduce major physical and biological problems for both product and process research and development. Even when the technical problems are solved, the economic question of whether a direct production route using the feedstock as the fermentation substrate or an indirect route involving the conversion of the feedstock, by chemical means, into methanol, which can then be used as the fermentation substrate, needs careful examination.

    Notes: Dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides (NRRL B-512F) was purified by ultrafiltration and gel filtration chromatography in 54% yield. The specific activity of a heart cut was 58.6 U/mg; cumulative purification of that preparation was 247-fold. Of 13 carriers surveyed, only alkylamine porous silica gave immobilization efficiencies consistently above 15 %. Immobilization to silica changed the properties of dextransucrase relatively little, the optimum pH for activity remaining at 5.2, while that for stability decreased from pH 5.5-6 to pH 5.2. In short assays, highest activities of both soluble and immobilized dextransucrase occurred at 30°C. Activation energies below that temperature were 8.6 kcal/mol for the former form and 1.7 kcal/mol for the latter. Maximum stabilization of soluble dextransucrase was attained by 5mM Ca2+.

    Notes: Glucanohydrolase from Trichoderma reesei, having a molecular weight of 52,000, was evaluated for kinetic properties with respect to cellobiose. Results from this work include: (1) initial rate studies that show that glucanohydrolase hydrolyzes cellobiose by a competitive mechanism and that the product, glucose, inhibits the enzyme; (2) low-pressure aqueous liquid chromatography that shows that formation of a reversion product, cellobiose, is minor and occurs in detectable amounts only a very high (90mM) cellobiose concentrations; (3) development of an equation based on the mechanism of glucanohydrolase action as determined by initial rate kinetics, which accurately predicts the time course of cellobiose hydrolysis; (4) derivation of an initial rate expression for the combined activity of cellobiase and glucanohydrolase on cellobiose. Based on data in this paper it is shown that the difference in inhibition pattern of the two enzymes could be used for determining the contamination of one enzyme by small quantities of the other.

    Notes: An immobilized growing cell system was applied to the continuous L-isoleucine production by Serratia marcescens. In the new immobilized-cell systems using the carrageenan gel method. S. marcescens cells in the gel required nutrients and oxygen for growth, and the numbers of living cells per milliliter of gel increased to the levels of that of free cells in the liquid medium. This immobilized growing cell system exhibited high and stable activity for isoleucine production under steady-state conditions. Continuous isoleucine production was carried out by feeding the nutrient medium under aeration into a fluidized bed reactor containing the immobilized cells. In the continuous operation, an efficient production was maintained by automatically controlling the pH of the reaction mixture at 7.5. The productivity of isoleucine increased using multibed reactors. In a two-bed reactor system, the effluent L-isoleucine concentration reached 4.5 mg/ml at a retention time of 10 hr, and a steady state was maintained for longer than 30 days.

    Notes: Several baculvirusus of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) have been produced and tested for microbial control of various Lepidoptera spp. To date, there are three registered preparations of NPV that are exempt from the requirement of tolerance by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States (US). The first and only commercially available viral preparation used in agriculture was developed by Sandoz, Inc. under the name of Elcar® for control of Heliothis spp. on cotton. The other two baculovirus preparations were developed and registered by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for control of Douglas-fir tussock moth and gypsy moth on forests. Several methods are being used for production of NPV viruses: (1) field collection of diseased larvae, (2) laboratory rearing of insects followed by infection with viral inoculum, (3) tissue culture. and (4) tissue culture and mass rearing larvae. Recent progress in mass production of insect virus points toward the adoption of tissue culture with the whole organism technology for production of a standardized viral product. The practical usefulness of various baculovirus preparations has been demonstrated for protection of forests from defoliation by various lepidopterous species. In agriculture, Elcar® has been successfully marketed and has been very well received for use in integrated pest management on cotton. Recent development also demonstrated that use of adjuvants further increase the efficacy of Elcar® against Heliothis spp. on cotton.

    Notes: The kinetic response of Streptococcus cremoris HP to growth at super optimal temperatures is reported. The response to a step increase in temperature was shown to be transient and to result from an increased metabolic rate caused by the raised temperature combined with thermal deactivation of the cell mass present. The catabolic and anabolic activities of the cell were shown to decay at different rates resulting in an accumulation of cells capable of catabolism (energy production) but unable to reproduce. The proposed mechanism was confirmed by independent estimates of the catabolic and anabolic activities of the culture. A mathematical model based on the proposed mechanism and incorporating simultaneous exponential growth, thermal death, and catabolic uncoupling of anabolically inactive cells was developed. Experimental evaluation of the model indicated the presence of a delay in deactivation of metabolic activity in response to a temperature transient. After the inclusion of this delay in death, it was confirmed that the model was capable of prediction of the balanced growth and transient response of this organism to changes in growth temperature. The delay in death was shown to be of major significance to the control of a simulated cheddar cheese fermentation.

    Notes: A single-stage aerobic continuous process for the conversion of poultry waste into single-cell protein is described. The slurried manure was supplemented by molasses. Kinetics and possible mechanisms for the suggested conversion-scheme have been investigated. A Box-Wilson experimental design has been employed to elucidate the effect of environmental conditions on reactor performance. Temperature, pH, and percent solids concentration in the feed (media composition) were the independent process variables, while the minimum residence time for the nearly complete utilization of total uric acid and ammonia nitrogen, the amount of carbon required per gram of nitrogen consumed, and protein content of the product were considered as dependent variables. Optimal environmental conditions for the minimum raw material cost and for the maximum percent protein, lysine, and methionine content of the product were determined. The operating conditions of 25°C, pH 7.5, 1.5% solids in the feed, and a residence time of 8.1 hr were found to be the most appropriate conditions maximizing the “profit” function, which is defined as the difference between the product value and raw material cost.

    Notes: Flow microfluorometry, which provides detailed information on the state of a microbial population, has been employed to characterize the Bacillus subtilis population during time intervals in which significant changes in the culture amylase activity occur. Four different batch experiments have been conducted, and the influences of inoculum age, fermentation temperature, and aeration rate on microbial population dynamics and amylase activity have been examined. Relatively high rates of amylase activity increase are observed twice during the batch, first as double cells initiate sporulation and later during germination. Rapid decreases in amylase activity are observed in highly (25-50%) sporulated populations, and in at least one experiment, during a transition from large, rounded protoplast forms to normal rod morphology. Amylase and protease activities do not follow parallel nor proportional trajectories in these 72 hr batch fermentations.

    Energy requirements and process design considerations in compression-milling pretreatment of cellulosic wastes for enzymatic hydrolysis (1980)

    Notes: The effectiveness of compression-milling pretreatment of lignocellulosics for enzymatic hydrolysis has been demonstrated for a wide variety of substrate sources. Reductions in the degree of crystallinity and the degree of polymerization of cellulose and partial destruction of the structural integrity of lignocellulosics brought about by compression milling significantly increase the susceptibility of cellulose to enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymatic hydrolysis yield was found to be directly related to the specific energy input to the cellulosic substrate (kWh/1b substrate) by compression milling, and the energy input can be controlled by the milling time. The enzymatic hydrolysis yeilds from cellulosic materials pretreated by compression milling also vary significantly depending on the source and kind, the composition milling also vary significantly depending on the source and kind, the composition (contents of lignin and other components), and the structure. The power requirements for compression milling which renders equivalent hydrolysis yields also depend on the source and kind of lignocellulosics to be pretreated. For newspaper, the specific energy input required for 55% sugar yield is estimated as 0.3 kWh/lb substrate including 15% power loss. The additional sugar yield gained from the enzymatic hydrolysis of compression-milled newspaper (over and above the sugar yield of untreated substrate) is determined as 453 g sugar/kWh energy input.

    Notes: The production of tylosin and related compounds by Streptomyces fradiae NRRL 2702 was studied in batch and chemostat cultures using a soluble synthetic medium. In batch culture, a trophophase-idiophase kinetic pattern was observed with tylosin, macrocin, and relomycin accumulating in the idiophase. When the organism was grown in chemostat culture, the specific rate of production of tylosin and related compounds (qtylosin) was found to be a function of the growth rate. The maximum value of (qtylosin) was observed when D = 0.017 hr-1. At this growth rate only tylosin and relomycin accumulated in the medium. By varying the concentration of glucose in the ingoing medium it was possible to study the effects of glucose on tylosin synthesis in chemostat cultures. At a growth rate of 0.017 hr-1, the maximum value of qtylosin was 0.71 mg tylosin/g dry weight (DW)/hr when the glucose uptake rate was 7 mg glucose/g DW-hr. This value of qtylosin was 40% greater than the maximum qtylosin observed in batch culture. When glycerol was substituted for glucose in the medium, it was possible in chemostat culutures to get values of qtylosin approximately 20% greater than those obtained with glucose at the same uptake rate. By varying the concentration of sodium glutamate in the ingoing medium it was possible to show that increasing the specific uptake rate of sodium glutamate increased the values of qtylosin obtained. Similar chemostat experiments where the inorganic phosphate concentration in the ingoing medium was varied showed that increased the uptake of phosphate decreased the values of qtylosin obtained. Also increasing the uptake rate of phosphate increased the relomycin-to-tylosin ratio. By taking into consideration the suppressing effects of glucose and the stimulating effects of sodium glutamate on tylosin synthesis, it was possible to formulate a medium that resulted in a value of qtylosin of 1.1 mg/g/hr being obtained at a growth rate of 0.03 hr-1. Batch fermentations with this medium did not follow a trophophase-idiophase kinetic pattern, but instead tylosin was actively synthesized during a period of rapid mycelial growth.

    Efficiency of bovine liver catalase as a catalyst to cleave H2O2 added continually to buffer solutions (1980)

    Notes: Empirical estimations of H2O2 concentration in a system containing bovine liver catalase and continually supplied with H2O2 were done to evaluate the efficiency of the enzyme to cleave H2O2. It was found that the continuous addition of H2O2 leads to the formation of steady-state concentrations of H2O2 in the medium. At a constant catalase concentration both the level and the duration of the steady state are dependent on the flow rate of H2O2. The increase of the catalase concentration in the medium does not change the steady-state level, it merely leads to the maintenance of the steady state for longer durations. At higher flow rates of H2O2, no steady state could be maintained, even when catalase was present in high excess. The incomplete cleavage of H2O2 by catalase under these conditions is due to the low affinity of catalase toward H2O2 (high Km value, apparent Km = 0.1M H2O2) and to the rapid inactivation of the enzyme during the continuous addition of H2O2.

The choice of process conditions is discussed in relation to the effects of temperature on column efficiency, column life, growth of microbial contaminants, and the rates of thermal decomposition of the substrates. At the preferred temperature of 10°C columns were operated continuously for one month with only small losses in efficiency.

    Notes: An investigation of the rotating biological contractor (RBC) process variables to determine the efficiency of biological oxygen demand (BOD) removal is presented. Operating parameters including influent BOD content (〈355 mg/liter), flow rate, disk surface area, hydraulic loading, disk rotational speed, liquid retention time, stage number, and wastewater temperature were evaluated. The BOD predictive model was developed using literature data with multiple regression analysis. This study shows that influent BOD concentration, hydraulic loading, stage number, and wastewater temperature are the most significant variables in predicting the RBC system performance. The model presently developed was verified by field data concerned with the treatment of both domestic and low-strength industrial wastewaters. Also, the results calculated by this model were compared to those obtained from Weng's model.

    Notes: A two-member methane-utilizing mixed culture of bacteria, formed by combining two pure cultures isolated from a naturally occurring methane-utilizing mixed culture, was studied in continuous culture. From the nutritional requirements and substrate ranges of the pure cultures, a mechanism for the interspecific interactions occurring in the mixed culture was proposed. Product formation kinetics were determined in continuous culture for each product involved in the proposed mechanism. From this proposed mechanism a mathematical model was derived based on simple material balance equations around a single-stage chemostat. The steady-state predictions of this model were compared to experimental results obtained from continuous-culture experiments with the two-member methane-utilizing mixed culture. Interspecific interactions occurring in two-member methanol-utilizing and three-member methane-utilizing mixed cultures have also been discussed.

    Notes: The gas environment is solid-substrate fermentations of rice significantly affected levels of biomass and enzyme formation by a fungal species screened for high amylase production. Constant oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures were maintained at various levels in fermentations by Aspergillus oryzae. Control of the gas phase was maintained by a “static” aeration system admitting oxygen on demand and stripping excess carbon dioxide during fermentation. Constant water vapor pressures were also maintained by means of saturated salt solutions. High Oxygen pressures stimulated amylase productivity significantly. On the other hand, amylase production was severely inhibited at high carbon dioxide pressures. While relatively insensitive to oxygen pressure, maximum biomass productivities were obtained at an intermediate carbon dioxide pressure. High oxygen transfer rates were obtained at elevated oxygen pressures, suggesting, in view of the stimulatory effect of oxygen on amylase production, a stringent oxygen requirement for enzyme synthesis. Solid-substrate fermentations were highly advantageous as compared with submerged cultures in similar gas environments. Not only were amylase productivities significantly higher, but the enzyme was highly concentration in the aqueous phase of the semisolid substrate particles and could be extracted in a small volume of liquid. Results of this work suggest that biomass and product formation in microbial processes may be amenable to control by the gas environment. This is believed to offer an interesting potential for optimizing selected industrial fermentation processes with respect to productivity and energy consumption.

    Notes: The kinetics of the hydrolyses of cellotriose and of cellotetraose by cellobiohydrolase were studied using a convenient integral technique. Reaction mechanisms and mathematical models were postulated to describe the reactions. The end-products of the reaction were found to be inhibitory toward hydrolysis in a competitive mode. Hydrolysis of cellotetraose produces cellobiose and hydrolysis of cellotriose produces cellobiose and glucose. Both sugars inhibit the enzyme with cellobiose being a stronger inhibitor.

    Notes: Laboratory-scale biofilm reactors were used to evaluate a model of the kinetics of steady-state biofilm and the concept that there is a minimum concentration, Smin, below which no steady-state activity can occur. With acetate as the ratelimiting substrate, the steady-state concept of Smin was verified for naturally grown biofilms. Substrate removal and biofilm thickness declined rapidly as the substrate concentration approached Smin, which was 0.66 mg/liter for acetate. Using independently derived kinetic parameters, the model of steady-state-biofilm kinetics successfully predicted substrate utilization and biofilm thickness without the need for fitting factors. The results imply that organic materials may persist in water and wastewater, in part, because they are too low in concentration to supply sufficient energy to sustain the microorganisms.

    Notes: A balance of electrons available from acetic acid consumed for growth and oxygen uptake in the aerobic- and photoheterotrophic growth of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides S on acetate-minimal medium could be realized the same as in the carbon balance. The unmeasured amounts of yeast extract consumed by the cells grown on propionate-yeast extract media were indirectly estimated from the balance equation of electrons available from carbon substrates. The specific consumption rate of the yeast extract increased with an increase in propionate consumption rate in aerobic and photoheterotrophic cultures. Growth yields from acetic acid and from propionic acid plus yeast extract were calculated on the electron level, i.e., YX/ave g cell produced/equivalent electrons available from substrate consumed. YX/ave values were 5.0 to 5.8 g cell/ave in photoheterotrophic cultures and 2.7 to 3.6 in aerobic-heterotrophic cultures regardless of different medium compositions.

    Notes: The design of a 125 liter aerated recirculating tower fermentor is presented. The tower has an external recirculation loop and a broth take-off point designed to give selective retention of biomass in the fermentor. This allows operation with high throughput rates using a low conentration feed. The aspect ratio in the main tower is approximately 14:1, but good mixing is promoted by the rapid recirculation of the broth. The construction of the fermentor and costs are given in details, illustrating that the fermentor may offer a cheap alternative to conventional systems.

    Notes: Enzymes, such as urease and uricase, were entrapped in three kinds of hollow fibers. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constants Km(app) obtained for these enzyme reactors were always larger than Km of free enzyme because of the permeation resistance of substrate across the hollow-fiber membrane. Km(app) increased with increasing degree of permeation resistance across the membrane by the increase in enzyme concentration. The half-life of the entrapped urease in the continuous reaction system was 60-80% of that of free enzyme. Activation energies of hollow-fiber enzyme reactors were always smaller than that of the free enzyme, because the activation energy of permeation was smaller than that of the enzyme reaction.

    Notes: A process is described in which the baboon endogenous virus (BaEV) is produced under optimum conditions in cell culture, and concentrated by hollow-fiber ultrafiltration technology under conditions of large-scale production. This system has advantages over conventional systems in that the flow rate is increased 2.5-fold during concentration. Thermal inactivation of BaEV was retarded by the addition of lactose glutamate to the harvested tissue culture fluid. After concentration, at least 91% of the virus RNA-directed DNA polymerase is recovered with a concomitant increase in infectious virus. Materials needed for modifying described systems may be obtained from commercial sources.

    Effect of pore diffusion limitation on dextrin hydrolysis by immobilized glucoamylase (1980)

    Notes: Data reported here and previously indicate that when dextrin is hydrolyzed in the presence of immobilized glucoamylase, use of a larger average molecular weight substrate leads to lower overall rates of hydrolysis, while the maltose concentration during the bulk of the reaction and the maximum glucose concentration are lower than when the soluble form of the enzyme is employed under the same conditions. Computer simulation of the system demonstrated that all three observations were caused by pore diffusion limitation: the first by slow diffusion of substrate, the second by slow diffusion of intermediates, and the third by slow diffusion of glucose. Follow-up experiments with glucoamylase immobilized to particles of different sizes confirmed this finding, as results with the smallest beads were identical to those with soluble glucoamylase.

    Notes: Three feedback strategies for the on-line control of cell densities in a mixed-culture system have been examined. A competitive mixed-culture system of Candida utilis and Corynebacterium glutamicum grown on glucose as the limiting carbon source was modeled using Monod growth kinetics. First-order time constants were added to simulate transient growth effects. Multivariable feedback control of cell densities by manipulation of substrate feed and dilution rate was investigated. Feedback strategies directed to minimizing control interactions were found to be superior to classical feedback. Transients in the growth-rate response produced oscillations in cell density and required retuning of control constants. The relative time constants of the two species were important, with the largest oscillations resulting when the faster growing organism had the faster time constant.

    Notes: A comparative study was conducted into the immobilization of β-galactosidase, albumin, and γ-globulin on an epoxy-activated polyacrylic matrix (oxirane C, Röhm-Pharma GmbH, Darmstadt). The kinetic parameters of the immobilized β-galactosidase were investigated with three kinds of miniaturized analytical reactors: namely, stirred batch, continuous stirred-tank, and packed-bed reactors. The optimum binding conditions, saturation activity and Michaelis constant of immobilized β-galactosidase are given, together with determinations of the binding capacity of the oxirane C matrix for the three proteins investigated. For beta;-galactosidase a saturation activity of 1300 U/g oxirane C was reached. The maximum binding, achieved by experiment, was 140 mg/g with 0.69 yield for albumin, 120 mg/g with 0.61 yield for γ-globulin, and 40 mg/g with 0.42 yield for β-galactosidase. From these data the inner surface of the matrix as a function of the size of the bound proteins was estimated.

    Notes: Two types of polyethylenimine-coated glass microbeads (13-44 μm) were synthesized and used for the immobilization of glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger and catalase from A. niger and beef liver. The two types of beads were distinguishable by differences in their surface topography. Immobilizations were performed by adsorption followed by treatment with glutaraldehyde. The immobilized-enzyme activities per unit support of all of the enzymes tested were compared with and found to be superior to the immobilized activities attainable on aminopropyl-activated glass microbeads. When enzyme was present in less than saturating amounts, the coated beads were able to remove 100% of the glucose oxidase activity initially present in the immobilization solution, with 78-87% of that activity expressed on the support surface. Bound glucose oxidase was more stable to thermal inactivation than native enzyme.

    Extraction of hemicellulose from ryegrass straw for the production of glucose isomerase and use of the resulting straw residue for animal feedTechnical Paper No. 5143 of the Agricultural Experimental Station, Oregon State University. (1980)

    Notes: The hemicellulose fraction of ryegrass straw was extracted with NaOH and used for the production of glucose isomerase by Streptomyces flavogriseus. The level of hemicellulose extracted increased proportionately with increasing NaOH concentration up to about 4%, then the rate of increase slowed down. Hemicellulose extraction was facilitated by the combined application of heat and NaOH. Approximately 15% hemicellulose (12% as pentosan) could be obtained by treating straw with 4% NaOH for either 3 hr at 90°C or 24 hr at room temperature. The highest level (3.04 units/ml culture) of intracellular glucose isomerase was obtained when the organism was grown at 30°C for two days on 2% straw hemicellulose. The organism also produced a high yield of glucose isomerase on xylose or xylan. The NaOH-treated straw residue, after removal of hemicellulose, had approximately 75% higher digestibility and 20% higher feed efficiency for weanling meadow voles than untreated straw. Thus, the residue could be used as animal feed. A process for the production of glucose isomerase and animal feed from ryegrass straw was also proposed.

    Notes: In a system where yeast cells grow on n-alkanes dissolved in oil drops suspended in water, the dispersed oil phase will, in most cases, be fully segregated. This means that each drop has its own history that depends on its degree of saturation with yeast cells. This degree of saturation with yeast cells is determined by a stochastic process depending on adsorption, desorption, and cell production. Although many authors mention segregation as a phenomenon likely to occur, so far this segregation has hardly been taken into account. In this paper the interaction of the population of completely segregated oil drops with the population of yeast cells, which results in growth, is described. The consequences of the model are elucidated by the discussion of some extreme cases. The batch fermentation of hydrocarbons by yeast cell is simulated by means of a Monte Carlo procedure. Adsorption, desorption, and production of yeast cells are considered as chance processes. The history of all individual drops is recorder. The influence of the chance of desorption appears to be much larger than that of the chance of adsorption (at the investigated range). Also the size of the inoculum at the start of the process appears to have a strong influence on the course of fermentation.

The purified enyzme exhibited a molecular weight of approximately 80,000 daltons, being composed of two identical subunits of about 42,000 daltons each. The Km for glucose is 1.33M, the Km for frucotse is 1.67M. The enzyme has an optimal pH of 7.0. The presence of the cobalt ion is not required to produce optimal activity of the enzyme if the proper amount of magnesium is present.

    Notes: Penicillin acylase has been immobilized to carboxymethylcellulose and to the resin Amberlite XAD7. The reaction kinetics of the enzyme were affected by both intrinsic (molecular) and microenvironmental effects. The Michaelis constant for the enzyme increased after immobilization as a result of an intrinsic effect of the reagent, glutaraldehyde, used for enzyme immobilization. Microenvironmental effects were of two types: diffusional limitation of access of substrate and a reaction-generated pH depression in the support particles. This depression of internal pH was observed in all the preparations and could be reduced by addition of pH buffering salts to reactor. An adsorbed pH-indicating dyc was used to determine the surface and internal pH of particles of XAD7-penicillin acylase under various reaction conditions. The extent of diffusional rate limitation in XAD7-penicillin acylase was related to the penetration depth of protein into the porous support particles. The penetration depth of protein and thus the diffusional limitation of the reaction rate could be controlled by the conditions of preparation of the immobilized enzyme. A staining technique was used to observe the location of the protein.

    Notes: Trichoderma QM 9414 was aerobically grown on glucose as the sole carbon and energy sources in a chemostat culture. The specific rates of glucose consumption (QG), oxygen consumption (QO2), and carbon dioxide production (QCO2) at the steady state were measured to estimate the growth and maintenance requirements. From the results it was estimated that 2 mol adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were produced when1 mol NADH was oxidized through the respiratory chain of this microorganism. The true growth yield for ATP (YATP) and specific ATP consumption rate for maintenance (QATPm) calculated with this value were 0.0106 g dry cell/mmol ATP and 5.2 mmol ATP/g dry cell/hr, respectively. Using the relationships between specific growth rate (μ) and (QCO2) and between μ and QG obtained from chemostat-culture data, cell and glucose concentration histories were estimated from the carbon dioxide production rate during the batch culture. The estimated cell concentrations agreed with the experimentally measured values. Glucose concentration were slightly overestimated.

    Notes: A methanogenic population was immobilized onto agar gel, polyacrylamide gel, and collagen membrane. Agar-gel-entrapped methanogenic microorganisms gave the highest activity. The optimum agar concentration was between 1.5 and 3% (w/v), and the optimum microbial content was 20 mg wet cells/g gel. The optimum conditions for methane production by immobilized whole cells were pH 7.0-7.5 and 37-45°C. The rate of methane production was initially 1.8 μmol/g gel/hr. Methane productivity was gradually increased and reached a steady state (4.5μmol/g gel/hr) after 25 days of incubation. The immobilized methanogenic microbial population continuously evolved methane over a 90 day period. No difference in methane productivity was observed after three months of storage at 5°C. Methane was also produced by immobilized whole cells under aerobic conditions. Furthermore, carbohydrates, such as glucose, in wastewater completely decomposed by immobilized whole cells.

    Notes: The population dynamics of continuous mixed cultures with pure commensalism, commensalism plus competitive assimilation, pure mutualism, and mutualism plus competitive assimilation was disused. The population does not display oscillatory phenomena where there is a single interaction of commensalism or mutualism. Damped oscillations take place when two interactions (such commensalism and competitive assimilation or mutualism and competitive assimilation) coexist in the continuous mixed culture. The stability of these systems was discussed in detail.

    Notes: Research into bulking in laboratory-scale activated-sludge plants are reported upon. A correlation between sludge volume index (SVI) and biopolymer content (exocellular polymer, ECP) has been determined or sludge obtained under various operating conditions and with different chemical and physical characteristics. This paper interprets that correlation. A method for ECP determination that is quicker and just as precise as the gravimetric one and which enables this parameter to be used not only to interpret bioflocculation mechanisms but also as a parameter for evaluating optimal plant operation is reported.

    Notes: Aspergillus niger β-xylosidase was characterized when in soluble form and when immobilized to alkylamine porous silica with glutaraldehyde and to alumina with titanium tetrachloride. Energies of activation averaged 13.4 KcaL/mol for the soluble enzyme, 9.0 Kcal/mol when immobilized to alumina, and 8.0 Kcal/mol when bound to silica. The highest activity of all forms of β-xylosidase was found near pH 3. The soluble enzyme was highly stable at pH 4, where lowest rates of decay occurred, and temperature of 65°C and below. The decay rates of alumina-bound β-xylosidase and pH 4 and equivalent temperatures were approximately 10 times as high. Michaells constants were 0.200 and 0.262mM for o-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside with soluble and alumina-bound β-xylosidase, respectively.

    Notes: A distributed parameter model for an airlift fermentor is presented. A riser represents the airlift fermentor, with plug flow in both gas and liquid phases, a well-mixed section that acts as gas separator, and a downcomer with plug flow. The set of equations proposed makes possible both the understanding and design of the system. Macroscopic balances shows a behavior that is very close to conventional continuous stirred tank fermentor from the viewpoint of biomass production. In addition, the model predicts concentration profiles of biomass, substrate and oxygen in the liquid, and oxygen in the gas phase. This allows estimation of optimal gas flow rate for sufficient oxygen transfer with minimum energy input.

    Notes: The effect of regular variations in the input limiting nutrient concentration at different cycle amplitudes on the growth and composition (elemental and macromolecular) of Escherichia coli ML30 in chemostat culture is described. The cycle time was maintained constant at 2.0 hr. The basal level of nutrient fed to cultures was also maintained constant but the concentration amplitude was varied over a range from 0.2 to 5.0 g/liter. A lag between the stimulus and organisms response was observed and found to be independent of cycle amplitude over most of the range examined. Increasing the cycle amplitude did not effect the cell yield from glucose or the elemental composition of the organisms. However, large variations in the macromolecular composition of the cells (on a dry weight basis) were found; at 4.0 g/liter amplitude the cells contained some 82% protein. The relevance of this type of reactor operation in large-scale fermentations is discussed.

    Notes: At least two experimental nematode biological insecticide formulations are currently being produced in small quantities around the world, These formulations are efficacious and people are willing to pay money for them. Advantages for the use of these parasites can be: nonpolluting, self-perpetuating, safe, and not harmful to beneficial organisms. The disadvantages are: relatively short shelf-life, acceptability, moisture, price, and dispersal techniques. One of the preparations is a nematode that vectors a bacterium. It can be produced at the rate of 100 × 106 infective nematodes/2 liter container at a cost of 2 cents/106. It can kill over 1000 species of insects. The other product kills over 60 species of mosquitoes and has been sold as mermithid nematode eggs in moist sand. This mosquito parasite can be established in the new site and self-perpetuate to suppress mosquito parasite can be established in the new site and self-perpetuate to suppress mosquito populations. It kills the mosquito before pupating. Increased research activity, using these parasites in the last ten years, has stimulated interest in these organisms for pest insect control.

    Notes: Despite the chronic and debilitative nature of the infection they cause, several species of microsporidia and neogregarines offer a good potential as microbial control agents, particularly against insect pests of high economic thresholds. Techniques for mass production of protozoa have usually involved per os, inoculation or injection of the protozoa into their usual or alternate hosts. The spores are harvested subsequently from heavily infected host tissues by grinding, filtration, and differential centrifugation. Although fresh spores are used in most field tests, the spores of many species can be stored with high survival either frozen or in water at low temperatures (0-4°C) for up to several months. Sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a serious factor limiting spore persistence. However, the protozoa do not appear to be significantly limiting spore persistence. However, the protozoa do not appears to be significantly more susceptible to UV radiation than other insect pathogens and persistence can be prolonged with UV protectants. Most field tests with protozoa have involved the application of spores in sprays and have usually resulted in a high degree of infection in the target host species. The potential for control of few species has been improved by formulation of spores in to baits, and the potential of other species will likely increase if suitable bait formulation can be devised in the future. One species, Nosema locustae, formulated as a bait, has been successfully used to control grasshoppers on rangelands. Limited laboratory and field studies have also suggested that increased short-term control might be obtained if candidate protozoan species can be combined with certain insecticides. While recent and increased efforts have been devoted to assess the potential of protozoa as microbial control agents, potential hazards to nontarget organism have been investigated for only three species. Their close relation taxonomically to protozoa pathogenic for mammals will necessitate careful evaluation of the safety of candidate control species for nontarget organisms.

    Notes: A saccharification of cellulosic material using culture filtrate from the stationary phase of a culture of Thermomonospora sp. produced primarily cellobiose up to levels inhibitory to further saccharification, while the use of whole broth resulted in the production of glucose as well. Glucose production was enhanced and continued throughout the saccharification (24-36 hr) by several additions of cellobiase activity in the form of culture solids. Using Solka-Floc as substrate, the “difference sugar” level (total soluble sugar minus glucose) rapidly rose to the same relatively stable concentration under various hydrolysis conditions, which was independent of the total sugar and glucose concentrations. A rapid hydrolusis rate was observed initially during saccharification, followed by a much slower rate of sugar production. Repeated centrifugation of the reaction mixture and replacement of the supernatant with fresh enzyme solution resulted each time in the reinitiation of a rapid hydrolysis rate. Saccharifications using A vicel microcrystalline cellulose, acid-swollen cellulose, and cotton as substrates were also studied. A modified method of making phosphoric-acid swollen cellulose is described. Saccharification of this substrate by culture filtrate and sequential additions of culture solids resulted in an inverse relationship between the attained glucose concentration and cellobiose-cellotriose concentrations.

    Notes: A 22 m long. 20 liter tubular loop fermentor (TLF) has been tested for oxygen transfer characteristics and as a reactor for mycelial growth. Model calculations show that the flow pressure drop has an important influence on the axial oxygen profiles. A design model that accounts for this influence is presented. Using the model, KLa values are calculated from the results of sulfite oxidation experiments. These are correlated with power consumption and aeration rates. The KLa dependence on aeration rate was found to be less than found with tank reactors. The growth kinetics of three metabolite-producing mycelial organisms in the TLF are presented: a Streptomyces, a Fusarium, and a Acrophialophora. In order to determine the influence of reactor type on the growth and product formation, these cultures have been grown in tanks and shake flasks. The antibiotic, product spectrum of Streptomyces is compared on the basis of inhibition tests and it is shown that the distribution of products is reactor dependent. The Fusarium culture produced a previously unknown metabolite, whose concentration in the loop fermentor was four times higher than in a shake flask. The Acrophialophora culture grew twice as fast in the loop fermentor, but produced essentially none of the specific product. Power Consumptions of up to 8 kW/m3 in the tubular fermentor did not appear to harm the mycelia.

The optimal batch cultivation conditions with respect to pH, temperature, aeration, agitation, and initial concentration of growth-limiting substrate were determined. A dynamic model describing the process was designed and fitted to the experimental data. The application of a method for estimating exotoxin and bacterial concentrations from on-line measurable quantities such as oxygen consumption and heat production is presented.

    Notes: A Lactobacillus sp. isolated from soil and capable of growing on xylose-containing medium exhibited high glucose isomerase activity. The enzyme was thermostable, stable toward dialysis, and activated by heat treatment. It did not show the presence of xylose or ribose isomerase activities; the Km for glucose and xylose substrates were 0.48M and 0.513M, respectively. The heat treatment of ultrasonic crude extract gave insoluble fixed active glucose isomerase enzyme. The properties of free and immobilized enzyme in heat-fixed whole cells differed in many respects. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity changed from 70 to 85°C, the optimum substrate concentration changed from 1.0M to 2.4M, and the optimum pH from 7.4 to 6.0. Co2+ and Mg2+ ions activated the enzyme when used singly, but in combination they inhibited the enzyme and Mn2+ had no effect on the enzyme. Free and immobilized enzymes, when used in the used in the conversions of corn and bagasse hydrolysates to fructose, gave 58, 25.6%, and 50, 27.6% conversions, respectively. Immobilized enzyme retained a significant activity for more than 30 hr and was able to operate at higher glucose concentrations showing less products inhibition effect as compared to free enzyme. In the batch process it was able to operate for about eight cycles.

    Notes: Continuous production of L-alanine from L-aspartic acid using immobilized Pseudomonas dacunhae was investigated. Pseudomonas dacunhae cells were immobilized with carrageenan gel. The L-aspartate β-decarboxylase activity of immobilized cells was enhanced by incubating the immobilized cells with a solution of 1M ammonium L-aspartate (pH 5.5) containing 0.1mM pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP) at 37°C over 20 hr. The enzyme activity of immobilized cells was 59% that of intact cells. The pH profile of the enzyme reaction was broader in the immobilized cells than in the free cells. The enzyme activity of immobilized cells was maintained through repeated uses when a substrate solution containing 0.1mM PLP was used. Complete conversion of L-aspartate to L-alanine was attained when a solution of 2M ammonium L-aspartate (pH 6.2) containing 0.1mM PLP was passed upward through the immobilized cell column at a retention time of 8 hr at 37°C. Glutaraldehyde treatment of the immobilized cells resulted in a slight decrease of the enzyme activity but a marked increase of the operational stability. The half-life of enzyme activity was 46 days in glutaraldehyde-treated immobilized cells.

    Notes: The applicability of Contois' kinetic equation to aerobic and anaerobic treatments of organic wastes is investigated. A refractory coefficient to account for the nonbiodegradable portion of the organic substrates in the digester is incorporated into the kinetic equation. The kinetic equation is applied to the data for aerobic digestions of organic substrates and for anaerobic treatment of dairy wastes. They all show a very good fit of the kinetic equation to the data. Furthermore, the kinetic parameters and the refractory coefficients are shown to be independent of influent organic substrate concentration. This study confirms previous reports that the effluent quality of biological treatment systems for organic wastes depends on influent organic waste concentration. The effect of temperature on the kinetic parameters and the refractory coefficient for anaerobic treatment of sewage sludge are studied. It shows that the kinetic parameters vary with temperature, while the refractory coefficient remains fairly constant. Equations to predict biodegradable treatment efficiency and volumetric substrate utilization rate are also briefly discussed.

    Notes: Five kinds of immobilized invertases (IMI) - covalently of porous glass and ion-exchange resins and ionically on ion-exchange resins - have been prepared and their kinetic characteristics for sucrose hydrolysis, such as Km, K, pH profile, and thermal stability were studied. Comparing the values of Km and activation energy and the entropy of IMI with those of native invertase, it was concluded that the immobilization influences not binding but kinetic specificity. The effects of the immobilization method on thermal stability were also discussed.

    Notes: A multienzyme complex consisting of invertase, glucose oxidase, and catalase was reconstituted by binding glucose oxidase using concanavalin A (Con A) to the cell wall of Sacchararomyces cerevisiae, previously induced for maximal activities of invertase and catalase. The cell flocculate obtained was stabilized by entrapment in polyacrylamide using γ irradiation at 100 kR. This complex showed a shortening of the lag period and enhancement in gluconic acid production as compared to a similar mixture of soluble enzymes. The efficacy of the multienzyme complex has been compared with that of mixed multienzyme system composed of individually immobilized enzymes. The immobilized multienzyme complex in a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor system could be operated for continuous conversion of sucrose to fructose and gluconic acid. The reactor system did not show any loss in efficiency in a continuous operation over 20 days.
