    Notes: This paper reports the activity of four dibutyltin(IV)-N-arylidene-α-amino acid complexes against the National Cancer Institute (NCI) panel of 60 cell lines. The results indicated that three of the organotin complexes (C17H25NO3Sn, C18H27NO3Sn and C20H31NO3Sn) exhibit their highest cytotoxic effect on the NCI-522 (non-small cell lung cancer) cell line. The fourth complex, C21H27NO3Sn, exhibits its highest cytotoxic activity on the cell line RXF-631L (renal cancer). In general, a low to moderate cellular response was observed for all the organotin complexes, with at least one cell line in each subpanel of cells exhibiting a very low growth inhibition response to all the organotin complexes. The low-responding cell lines included HOP-62 (non-small lung cancer), DLD-1 (colon cancer), SF-539 (CNS cancer), SK-MEL-5 (melanoma), IGROV-1 (ovarian cancer) and RPMI-8226 (leukemia). The results also indicated that the compounds did not exhibit any significant subpanel activity and suggested that the compounds were not active in all the cell lines contained in any subpanel. The low to moderate activity of these compounds across the cell lines was attributed to the presence of nitrogen-bearing ligands which prevented the dissociation of the compound and the subsequent binding to DNA. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The volatile antimony compound trimethylantimony (TMA) was detected in headspace gases over anaerobic soil enrichment cultures spiked with potassium antimony tartrate. The presence of TMA was variable (12 positives from 104 cultures) and dependent upon both the inoculum source (environmental sample) and enrichment culture conditions. Positives for TMA formation were obtained with variable frequency for four of the six soils tested and for three types of enrichment culture, designed to encourage growth of nitrate-reducing, methane-producing or fermentative bacteria. The identity of the volatile antimony compound produced in each of the three types of enrichment culture was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-atomic absorption spectroscopy. There was no evidence of any other volatile antimony compound in the headspace gases. These data suggest that the capability to generate TMA is widely distributed in the terrestrial environment and is attributable to different metabolic types of micro-organisms. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The methods of synthesis, elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopic data and fungicidal activity against Ceratocystis ulmi are reported for a series of triorganotin esters of N-arylidene-ω-amino acids of general formula R3SnOCO(CH2)nN = CHAr (R = Ph, n-Bu; Ar = 2-HOC6H4, 2-HOC10H6; n = 1, 2, 3 and 5). The crystal structures for two of the compounds, tributyltin N-2-hydroxynaphthalidene glycinate (1) and tributyltin N-2-hydroxynaphthalidene-β-alaninate (2), have been determined. Although both of these compounds have a trans-R3SnO2 structure, in compound 1 the carboxylate group is monodentate and the fifth coordination position around the tin atom is taken up by a coordinated phenolic group, whereas in 2 the carboxylate group is bridging. These two examples thus correspond to the two different structures reported for trans-R3SnO2 complexes. Both compounds were found to be active against Ceratocystis ulmi, but there was no significant difference in their levels of biological activity against this particular fungus. Apart from compound 1, the other tributyltin compounds reported are believed to adopt the carboxylate bridging mode shown by compound (2).Crystal data: for 1, crystals monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 12.9435(11) Å, b = 13.5769(10) Å, c = 15.7715(12) Å, β = 108.919(6)°, Z = 4, Rf = 0.046 and Rw = 0.058 for 1448 significant reflections; for 2, crystals monoclinic, space group C 2/c,a = 24.588(14) Å, b = 9.733(3) Å, c = 27.611(12) Å,β = 113.49(4)°, Z = 8, Rf = 0.053 and Rw = 0.069 for 3822 significant reflections. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The ferrocene/ferricenium redox system plays a significant role in biological oxidation, reduction and free-radical reactions. Of particular interest are the findings of earlier investigations which showed certain water-soluble ferricenium salts to possess appreciable antiproliferative activity against various murine tumor lines and a xenografted human colorectal adenocarcinoma. Solubility in water, a prerequisite for efficacious transport and dissipation in central circulation, was then proposed as a principal requirement for the ferrocene complex system to exert antineoplastic activity irrespective of the oxidation state in which it is administered. In order to shed more light on this question, we decided to investigate the antiproliferative properties of polymer-ferrocene conjugates containing the metal complex in the non-oxidized (ferrocene) form while fulfilling the critical requirement of water solubility. To this end, five selected, water-soluble conjugates, synthesized by reversible coupling of 4-ferrocenylbutanoic acid to variously structured polyaspartamides featuring pendant primary amino groups as coupling sites, were tested in vitro against cultured HeLa cells at concentrations up to 50 µg Fe ml-1. Optimal antiproliferative activities, with IC50 in the range of 2-7 µg Fe ml-1, were determined for three compounds possessing tertiary-amine functions susceptible to protonation at physiological pH. Lower activities (IC50 = 45-60 µg Fe ml-1) were demonstrated for two poly(ethylene oxide)-containing conjugates. However, no reasonable structure-performance relationships can be derived at this stage from the small number of compounds tested. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Legislation on methylmercury within the European Union (EU), e.g. in food (national regulations) or water (EC Directives), requires that the determinations are of proven quality; thus implies that they should be carried out under strict quality control (QC). One method of achieving good quality control in chemical analysis is to verify the analytical performance of methods by analysing Certified Reference Materials (CRMs). While CRMs of biological matrices (e.g. fish, mussels) are already available, there was a lack of materials for the QC of sediment analysis. This paper describes the preparation of an estuarine sediment reference material, the homogeneity and stability studies and the analytical work performed for the certification of the contents of total mercury and methylmercury. The results of a group of expert laboratories are discussed and the methods used to certify the mass fractions of total mercury (132 ± 3 mg kg-1 on a dry mass basis) and methylmercury (75.5 ± 3.7 μg kg-1 as CH3Hg+ on a dry mass basis) are described. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Butyltin concentrations in the sediments of two coastal areas of British Columbia, Canada, are reported. Two recent box cores from the deepest basin in the Strait of Georgia were sectioned and analyzed by GC-atomic emission spectrometry. No butyltin compounds were detected above 0.5 μgSn kg-1 (dry weight) in either core. These results are compared to those for a previous (1991) core from the same area. In that study, tributyltin (TBT) concentrations were in the range 1-2 μgSn kg-1 down the core and were higher than those of either of the degradation products, dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT). Radioisotope dating (210Po-210Pb counting methods) was used to establish the rates of sedimentation of 0.25 and 2.6 cm y-1 at the two sites. Data suggest that a combination of rapid deposition of new, less-contaminated material and degradation of previously deposited butyltin compounds has resulted in the observed absence. Thirty-three surface sediments from the northern BC coastal harbor at Prince Rupert, collected in 1995, were analyzed for butyltin residues by GC-FPD. Concentrations of TBT, DBT and MBT were in the ranges from below the appropriate limit of detection (LOD) to 1262, to 109 and to 37 μgSn kg-1, respectively. TBT/DBT ratios ranged from 0.2 to 62 with most above unity, indicating that there is continuing fresh input of TBT. The sources are almost exclusively large ocean-going vessels that use the harbor for long-term anchorage. These findings are discussed with reference to the global TBT status. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effects of: (1) the modifier type (methanol and formic, acetic and propionic acids), (2) complexing agents (diethylammonium diethyldithiocarbamate, ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) either with or without acidic modifiers, (3) the extraction temperature (50-80 °C) and pressure (30-50 MPa), (4) the extraction procedure (static-dynamic or dynamic), and (5) the volume of static modifier, on the extraction efficiency of native butyl- and phenyl-tin compounds from sediment, were evaluated comprehensively. The highest extraction efficiency for butyl- and phenyl-tin compounds was obtained at 30 MPa and 50 °C by using CO2 modified with acetic acid (200 μl in the cell). Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) extracts were hexylated and determined by GC-FPD using a 610 nm bandpass filter without any clean-up step. In summary, the developed analytical procedure is robust (no restrictor clogging; free from FPD interferences), it is low-cost (no complexing agents needed), it has a high sample throughput (〈3 h), it is independent of the matrix for the determination of butyltin compounds in sediment, and it provides the highest precision among the SFE procedures reported for organotin determination. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A radiotracer experiment was conducted in a controlled experimental ecosystem (microcosm) to determine the persistence and behavior of tributyltin (TBT) under conditions simulating a temperate, shallow estuarine ecosystem. Radiolabeled TBT was introduced to the estuarine microcosm, which contained estuarine water, sediment and fish. TBT and its degradation products were monitored for 40 days. TBT rapidly distributed among the compartments of the microcosm. The TBT half-life in the water column was 2.55 days for the first 11 days and then slowed to 13.4 days. More than 60% of the TBT and its metabolites were found in the sediment, indicating that the sediment was an important sink for butyltins. Higher concentrations of butyltins, relative to the water column concentrations, were found in the surface microlayer. TBT could be bioconcentrated by the fish to levels more than 200 times the exposure concentration, and underwent rapid degradation in the fish body, so that high concentrations of its metabolites were found in the fish. The concentrations of TBT adsorbed on the suspended particles were three orders of magnitude greater than that in dissolved form. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The method validation for the speciation of five arsenic species in urine samples by liquid chromatography hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is described. Arsenic species which are identified and quantified in urine samples are the anions of arsenic(III), arsenic(V), monomethylarsonic acid and dimethylarsinic acid, and the cationic arsenobetaine. Detection limits were obtained in the range 0.3-0.4 μg As l-1 while the repeatability was in the range 3-4% (RSD) for concentrations above five times the detection limit. Urine samples could be analysed directly after a ten-fold dilution step. Arsenic compound concentrations were determined in urine samples from a volunteer who consumed a portion of tuna fish high in arsenobetaine. It was found that arsenobetaine was excreted rapidly via the urine with maximum concentrations after 12 h. Nearly complete arsenobetaine excretion was reached after 48 h. Background levels of arsenic compounds were determined in 61 urine samples from non-exposed inhabitants of The Netherlands. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) hybrid networks have been prepared by the reaction of PDMS(OH)2, average molecular weight 26 × 103, 43.6 × 103 and 58 × 103, and methyltriethoxysilane (MeTEOS, 10-60 wt%) using a dibutyltin dilaurate or dibutyltin diacetate catalyst. By hydrolysis and homo- and co-condensation, MeTEOS forms a siliceous domain (MeSD) and acts as a crosslinker for the PDMS domain. Kinetic studies showed that high MeTEOS and catalyst concentrations and reduction of free surface area favor fast gelation and efficiency in converting MeTEOS to the MeSD. Under the water-sparse conditions utilized, cure was slow and substantial evaporative loss of MeTEOS occurred. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An investigation into the microstructural properties of CoxAg1 - x films, grown by pulsed laser deposition, as a function of deposition and post-deposition annealing temperature is reported. Surface morphology and microstructure were investigated by XPS, SEM and TEM measurements. Magnetic measurements were used to gain further information on particle size distributions through the analysis of the temperature dependence of the irreversible magnetization. Depending on cobalt content, deposition and post-deposition annealing temperature, the maximum of the cobalt grains diameter distribution was estimated to be in the range 2-6 nm. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The dynamical behavior of γ-Fe2O3 particles dispersed in a polymer have been investigated by a.c. susceptibility and Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements. The effect of interparticle interactions on the relaxation time is satisfactorily described by a superparamagnetic model where the dipolar energy is determined by a statistical calculation for a disordered arrangement of particles with volume distribution and easy axes in random orientations. The results indicate that the single particle anisotropy energy is mainly determined by surface anisotropy and that the energy barrier increases with the interaction strength. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Cultures of the fungus Scopulariopsis brevicaulis were grown in antimony-rich media. Although volatile compounds of other elements were readily detected in the culture headspace, volatile antimony compounds were formed irreproducibly and at only ultratrace levels. In order to monitor the media for nonvolatile methylantimony compounds, a method of sample preparation was developed, based on solid-phase extraction. This enabled the separation of large quantities of soluble inorganic antimony species from trace amounts of organoantimony compounds before speciation by HG-GC-AAS. By this methodology methylated antimony compounds were detected at concentrations of 0.8- 7.1 µg Sbl-1 in all media in which S. brevicaulis was grown in the presence of antimony(III) compounds. These methylantimony species were not detected in any of the nonliving or medium-only controls. Methylated compounds were not detected where S. brevicaulis was grown in the presence of antimony(V) compounds. This is the first study to show that antimony(III) compounds are biomethylated by S. brevicaulis under aerobic-only growth conditions. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The dynamic wetting behaviour on a perfluorinated, low-energy solid has been investigated for a carbohydrate-modified phenylsiloxane surfactant. The surfactant concentration, the rate of interface generation and the [solid/liquid interface area] : [liquid/vapour interface area] ratio were varied systematically. Dynamic data for the liquid/vapour (γlv) and solid/liquid (γsl) interfacial tension as well as their Lifshitz-van der Waals and donor-acceptor contributions were determined under strictly controlled conditions. Since γsl reacts sensitively to variations of the surfactant concentration and the rate of interface generation, the covering of the liquid/non-polar solid interface is assumed to be a spreading limiting factor. The corresponding γlv values remain constant and close to those obtained under equilibrium conditions. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The transport dynamics of tributyltin (TBT) between the surface microlayer and subsurface water were studied in experimental systems which simulated different surface sea states. A dynamic model was derived from a diffusion equation to describe the dynamics of the TBT transport process. With this dynamic model diffusion coefficients were determined, and the effects of surface sea states and temperature on the TBT transport process between the surface microlayer and subsurface water were also studied. Turbulence, breaking waves and elevated temperature can accelerate this transport. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A novel technique has been developed for the determination of trace amounts of methylmercury in various sample matrices. The newly developed HPLC method makes it possible to separate methylmercury and inorganic mercury with ultrasonic nebulization and detection by ICP MS for different mercury isotopic masses. The isotope-specific detection allows the application of the species-specific isotope addition method for the determination of methylmercury with a correction for artifact formation. The well-known water-vapour distillation method was used in combination with an enriched stable inorganic mercury isotope (200Hg2+) for the separation of methylmercury from various matrices. The subsequent determination of CH3 - 200Hg+ generated from 200Hg2+ was used in the correction for artifact formation during sample preparation. In comparison with a previously developed HPLC coupling technique with HPF-HHPN (high-performance flow/­hydraulic high-pressure nebulization), the stability of the detection procedure was improved considerably. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) for methylmercury was calculated to be about 0.015 μg kg-1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An analytical method is described for methylmercury determination in fish and aqueous samples using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) followed by gas chromatography-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (GC-AFS). The procedure involves aqueous-phase derivatization of methylmercury species with sodium tetraethylborate in a sample vial and subsequent extraction with a silica fiber coated with poly-­(dimethylsiloxane). The mercury derivatives are desorbed in the splitless injection port of a gas chromatograph and subsequently analyzed by GC-AFS. The headspace SPME procedure is used and parameters affecting the extraction, adsorption and desorption are evaluated. Results for methylmercury analysis in standard reference material (DORM-2) and fish samples are presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The macromolecular substitution approach for the synthesis of polyphosphazenes provides access to many different polymers. However, it precludes the use of reagents that contain two or more functional groups because such compounds would cause extensive crosslinking of the chains. This presents a problem because many of the uses for which polyphosphazenes seem ideally suited require the presence of -OH, -COOH, -NH2, -SO3H, -PR2 and other functional units in the side-chain structure. We have developed two approaches to introduce such active sites: (1) protection-deprotection reactions; and (2) direct reactions of active reagents with the organic side-groups of non-functional poly(organophosphazenes). These methods have been applied both at the molecular level and in the form of reactions carried out only at polymer surfaces. The resultant polymers have special properties that are valuable in the micro-encapsulation of sensitive biological agents; in the formation of hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or adhesive surfaces; in crosslinking reactions; and in the development of solid polymer electrolytes, bio-erodible polymers, pH-triggered hydrogels, polymer blends and interpenetrating polymer networks. Overall, more than 700 different polyphosphazenes are now known, and a large number of these are functional macromolecules targeted for specific property combinations and uses. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A diverse and entirely new class of monomer and polymer technology based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) reagents has been developed. POSS reagents are unique in that they are physically large (approx. 15 Å diameter and 1000 amu) and are composed of a robust silicon-oxygen framework that can be easily functionalized with a variety of organic substituents. Appropriate functionalization of POSS cages allows for their incorporation into traditional thermoplastic resins without modification of existing manufacturing processes. The incorporation of POSS segments into linear copolymer systems results in increased glass transition and decomposition temperatures, increased oxygen permeability and reduced flammability and heat evolution, as well as modified mechanical properties relative to conventional organic systems. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Organophosphazenes with a similar mesogenic moiety were prepared and their mesogenicity was studied by differential scanning calorinetry (DSC) measurements and polarizing microsope observations. In cyclotriphosphazenes with alk-­oxybiphenyl and Schiff base moieties, mesomorphic phase transitions were observed, but no mesomorphic phase was observed for the corresponding cyclotetraphosphazenes. In polyphos-­phazenes with an alkoxybiphenyl moiety, no mesomorphic phase was observed. The molecular structure of cyclotriphosphazenes facilitated the formation of a mesomorphic layer structure; in contrast, the formation of a mesomorphic layer structure did not occur in cyclotetraphosphazenes and polyphosphazenes, even though they bore a similar mesogenic moiety. Moreover, in cyclotriphosphazenes with an optically active alkoxybiphenyl group, a smectic C* phase was observed. The spontaneous polarization of the compound was -190 μ C m-2 at 436 K in 25 μ in cell using the triangular-wave method. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Poly(arylene ether) main-chain phosphonium ionomers were successfully synthesized and characterized. The reaction scheme involved first preparing the poly(arylene ether phosphine oxide) by a nucleophilic step or condensation polymerization of bisphenolates on activated aryl halides, wherein phenyl phosphine oxide was the activating group. High-molecular-weight, tough, film-forming polymers were produced with glass transition temperatures of 200°C or higher. The resulting materials were successfully reduced using phenylsilane in refluxing chlorobenzene. The derived phosphine or phosphine/phosphine oxide copolymer was reacted with alkyl halides to produce the phosphonium salts. The resulting materials showed enhanced hydrophilicity and in some cases could be successfully dispersed in water. In addition, chromophores such as Methyl Orange and Methyl Red were combined with the backbone ionomer to produce new film-forming, ionically linked species. The materials are of general interest for situations where water-dispersible intermediates, e.g. coatings, fiber sizings etc. are required. The phosphonium salts can be converted back to the phosphine oxide in fairly high yields by simple thermal methods and in quantitative yield by chemical methods (e.g. the Wittig reaction). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Our recent work directed at the design, synthesis, characterization and applications of new types of polyborazylene and polyborosilazane polymers is reviewed with a focus on the use of these polymers as processable precursors to BN and SiNCB composites. A design strategy based on the controlled functionalization of preformed polymers with pendant groups of suitable compositions and crosslinking properties has been employed to yield second-generation dipentylamine-polyborazylene (DPA) and pinacolborane-hydridopolysilazane (PIN-HPZ) polymers, which, unlike the parent polyborazylene (PB) and the borazine-hydridopolysilazane (B-HPZ) polymers, are stable as melts and can be easily melt-spun into polymer fibers. Subsequent pyrolyses of these polymer fibers then provide excellent routes to BN and SiNCB ceramic fibers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The attachment, growth and product synthesis of non-flocculating Zymomonas mobilis cell, fixed in stainless steel wire spheres (WS), were investigated. The carrier surface was activated by treatment with titanium (IV) chloride (TiCl4) and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (AS) in an attempt to raise the efficiency in the immobilization of the cells. System productivity for ethanol and levan production, using cells immobilized on a modified stainless steel in the batch fermentation of a sucrose medium, rose as a result of increased biomass compared to the productivity of cells fixed on untreated (control) metal surfaces. Stabilized ethanol synthesis was demonstrated in the course of four cycles (each cycle 48 h) of repeated fermentations with a stainless steel carrier treated with AS, and three cycles when TiCl4 was used. Levan synthesis decreased after three cycles with cells immobilized on a silanized surface. System productivity for ethanol and levan production after the fourth cycle in experiments with TiCl4-activated, silanized and unmodified carriers were Qeth = 1.01, 1.06 and 0.27 g/l × h; Qlev = 0.32, 0.29 and 0.12 g/l × h, respectively. However, the specific productivity of biomass for product synthesis was higher in fermentation systems with untreated stainless steel surfaces, probably due to some loss of physiological activity of cells attached to a modified carrier. Investigations of throughly washed activated stainless steel wire surfaces, by scanning electron microscopy after immobilization, showed significant attachment of cells to the carriers. A polymer layer covered the wire surface treated with TiCl4 after fermentations. This may be explained as the binding of extracellular polysaccharide, such as the fructose-polymer levan and yeast extract components, to the modified support via chelation. After four fermentations, craters and holes in the polymer layer were evident, probably as a result of CO2 formation. A small number of cells appeared on this layer. In view of the good ethanol formation during all fermentation cycles, it is probably that active Z. mobilis cells remained under the polymer layer. Wire treatment with AS resulted in the formation of long filamentous cells during fermentation and some disturbance of cellular fission. This may be partly explained by strong electrostatic interactions between the positively charged carrier surface and the predominately negatively charged surface of Z mobilis cells. However, this did not significantly affect other cellular functions. The surface of the wire treated with AG was practically without a polymer layer.

    Notes: In fixed-bed bioreactors, the influence of the oxygen content in the inlet air on the biodegradation of diesel fuel in unsaturated soil/compost mixtures was analyzed at 30°C over a period of 7 weeks. Firstly, a wide range from 0 to 80 vol.% O2 was investigated. Subsequently, the range below 5 vol.% O2 was examined more closely. Over the whole test period of seven weeks, no significant influence of oxygen could be observed above 1 vol. % O2 in the inlet air - either on the decrease of the total contaminants or on the total mineralization. Anaerobic conditions should be avoided for the degradation of diesel fuel. During the test period, the courses of CO2 production varied significantly depending on oxygen supply. Furthermore, a model was developed to estimate the total mineralization as a function of oxygen supply. More investigations are recommended in order to test this model for practical application.

    Notes: Zymomonas mobilis strain 113 “S” produces levan - an extracellular, viscous, biologically active, non-toxic fructose polymer with a unique structure and extraordinary properties. This polysaccharide was isolated at two different degrees of purity by alcohol precipitation from aqueous solutions and was characterized with respect to some rheological properties and stability of viscous solutions.The effects of temperature, pH and salt concentration on the viscosity of 1-3% levan solutions were examined. The viscosity of levan solutions was found to be quite stable and reversible at room temperature over a wide range of pH from 4 to 11. The viscosity was slightly affected by increased salt concentration. Levan solutions were rather stable at high temperatures (up to 70°C, 1 h, pH 6), where the viscosity could be almost completerly restored (up to 80-100%). Therefore, the degradation of the polymer structure under these conditions is probably insignificant. Temperatures of 70-100°C with a pH of less than 3.5 caused irreversible degradation of the levan structure.The above-mentioned properties of levan, obtained from Zymomonas mobilis 113 “S”, demonstrated the potential for the development of various therapeutic forms of pharmacologically-active levan and their application in medicine as well as in the food and other industries.

    Notes: The extractive purification of peroxidase from Armoracia rusticana roots and Glycine max seed coats in temperature-induced and affinity microsphere-containing aqueous two-phase systems was stuied. The extractive purification of peroxidase from Glycine max seed coats was carried out in a temperature-induced aqueous two-phase system formed by Triton X-45, Triton X-100 and sodium acetate at pH 5.5 A 99% yield with a 6-fold purification factor was obtained. When the clear top phase was subjected to concanavalin-A affinity chromatography, the purification factor rose to 41 and the yield dropped to 28%.A two-step purification process for peroxidase from Armoracia rusticana roots was developed by adding concanavalin-A affinity microspheres to a PEG/phosphate aqueous two-phase system. The method allows a 60% recovery of high purity peroxidase (1,860 guaiacol units per mg). A lower recovery rate and degree of purification of this enzyme was achieved after temperature-induced aqueous two-phase partition or acetone precipitation and concanavalin-A affinity column chromatography.

    Notes: Endo-β-glucanase (endo-β-1,4-glucano-glucanase EC 3.2.1.4), isolated from Trichoderma reesei, was immobilized in calcium alginate beads, retaining 75% of its original activity. The polyanionic moiety surrounding the immobilized enzyme displaced the pH-activity profile to alkaline regions with respect to that of the free enzyme. The enzyme was inhibited by carboxymethylcellulose, but this inhibition appeared to be decreased by immobilizatíon. The enzyme immobilized in alginate beads showed a Km value (1.02% w/v) lower than that of the enzyme (1.31%). The apparent Vmax of immobilized cellulase preparations (238.3 μmol glucose/ml × h) decreased by a factor of 0.59 with respect to that of the soluble enzyme. The optimum temperature (60°C) of the free and entrapped enzymes remained unaltered. In contrast, the half-life of the endoglucanase immobilized in calciumalginate beads was 4.6 h at 55°C and 5.4 h at 60°C, while that of the free enzyme was 3.0 h at 55°C and 1.2 h at 60°C. A technological application of the immobilized enzymes was tested using wheat straw as a source of fermentable sugars. The hydrolytic degradation of straw, by means of a crude extract of free and immobilized cellulases and β-glucosidase, released a large amount of reducing sugars from wheat straw after 48 h (between 250-720 mg glucose/g straw), carrying out more than a 90% saccharification. A mixture of immobilized β-glucosidase and free cellulases maintained 80% of the activity of the soluble counterparts, and the co-immobilization of both types of enzymes reduced by hydrolytic efficiency to half.

    Notes: The specific aspects of airlift reactors emphasizing their function relevance to particular application as bioreactors are presented.The two main groups of airlift reactors - external-loop and concentric-tube reactors - were investigated on a pilot-plant scale with regard to their performance during the cultivation of unicellular and filamentous microorganisms which produce Bacitracin, Cephalosporin C and Nystatin. Some results were compared to those obtained in conventional stirred tank bioreactors. The comparison was carried out based on physical properties (oxygen transfer rate (OTR), volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) and efficiency of oxygen transfer (EO2)), cell mass, productivity and substrate consumption, secondary metabolite production, and efficiency of the product formation with regard to the specific power input.It was shown that B. licheniformis, C. acremonium and S. noursei fermentations occurred similarly to those performed in stirred vessels, proving that the capacity of the airlift bioreactors surpassed the problems which arise from the morphology and rheology of the broths. From the chemical engineering point of view, it was obvious that the primary tasks of a bioreactor (uniform distribution of microorganisms and nutrients over the entire fermenter volume, appropriate supply of biomass with nutrients and oxygen) were fulfilled by the airlift bioreactors tested. In addition, the efficiency of oxygen transfer (OTR referred to power input) in the airlift fermenters proved to be about 38% higher than in the stirred tank bioreactors (expressed as average values), while the sorption efficiency (OTR referred to antibiotic production) was found to be 22% greater in the airlift system than in an STR.Therefore, the biosyntheses were performed with about a 30-40% increase in energy efficiency and energy savings compared to the conventional system.Moreover, the lack of mechanical devices in the airlift system provides greater safety and a gentler environment for the cultivation of microorganisms.

    Notes: In various bacterial strains belonging to the β-subdivision of proteobacteria which are capable of degrading chlorinated monoaromatic compounds, chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase genes were detected by PCR and Southern hybridization. Using PCR primers derived from the conserved sequence motifs of chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase genes tfdC, clcA and tcbC, PCR products of the expected size were obtained with the test strains, but not with negative control strains. The specificity of the PCR products was verified by hybridization using an oligonucleotide probe for an internal sequence motif which is evolutionarily conserved among chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenases and some other dioxygenases that catalyze the intradiol aromatic-ring-cleavage. Hybridization with the tfdC PCR product from the 2,4-D degradative plasmid pJP4 under stringent conditions revealed different extents of homology of the chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase genes to the canonical tfdC sequence in the various strains. These findings were confirmed by the nucleotide sequence analysis of the tfdC-specific PCR products. From our results, we conclude that the PCR primer set is more suitable than the hybridization with pJP4-derived gene probes for the detection of diverse chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase genes in proteobacteria.

    Notes: The degradation of lignocellulosic biomass of banana pseudoste was investigated during solid state fermentation (SSF) by P. ostreatus and P. sajor-caju. Both organisms proved to be efficient degraders of banana pseudostem biomass. P.ostreatus degraded hemicellulose (40% of dry weight, d.w.) better than cellulose (17.5% of d.w.) and lignin (10% of d.w.). P. sajor-caju also degraded hemicellulose (31% of d.w.) better than cellulose (12.4% of d.w.) and lignin (6% of d.w.). In both cases, a preferential removal of hemicellulose during the initial growth period and a delayed degradation of lignin were observed. The kinetics of cellulolytic, hemicellulolytic and lignolytic enzyme production in liquid culture were also examined. The activities of CMCase and β-glucosidase were highest at 16 days of growth and avicelase activity was at its maximum after 24 days (CMCase - 1.1 IU/ml, β-glucosidase - 0.09 IU/ml in the case of P. ostreatus; CMCase - 1.0 IU/ml, β-glucosidase - 0.087 - IU/ml in the case of P. sajor-caju.). Xylanase and laccase activity reached their maximum after day 16 and day 24 of incubation, respectively. (Xylanase - 1.1 IU/ml and laccase 3.0 IU/ml in the case of P. ostreatus; xylanase - 1.0 IU/ml and laccase - 3.6 IU/ml in the case of P. sajor-caju.). The efficient degrading capacity of test fungi demonstrated their potential use in the conversion of banana pseudostem biomass into mycelial protein-rich fermented animal feed.

    Notes: For the purpose of forming cells possessing more than three nuclei and of determining the factors inducing multinucleation, cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were treated with 0, 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0% [w/v] colchicine solution, with and without shaking. When the cells were treated with 1.0% [w/v] colchicine solution, the number of cells containing two to eight nuclei was the largest. The multinucleate cells could grow on potato dextrose agar medium and their multinucleate nature did not disappear for at least three generations. This means that such cells are genetically stable. The proliferation rate of the multinucleate cells was not superior to that of the original strain. However, by monitoring the weight loss of the flask, it was possible to indirectly estimate the increase in the alcohol production of the multinucleate cell. It was concluded that the shaking treatment and higher colchicine concentrations contributed to multinucleation.

    Notes: Candida rugosa was cultivated in a mixed-solid substrate containing coconut oil cake (COC) and fine and coarse wheat bran (1:1:1) with an initial water activity (aw) of 0.92. The substrate was modified by adding a mineral solution (5%), corn steep liquor (6%), maltose (2%), peptone (3%), olive oil (10%), gum arabic (0.4%), different fatty acids (0.3%) and Tweens (0.5%). Fermentation in a column fermenter significantly improved the lipase yield to 118.2 Units per gram of dry fermented substrate [U/gds] at 72 h. This result was obtained 24 hours earlier than in our former studies (87.76 U/gds at 96 h) in COC, and the yield showed a 38% increase. Growth was measured indirectly by determining the glucosamine content in the cell wall of the yeast contained in the fermented matter, after its hydrolysis.

    Notes: The root nodules of Melilotus alba DESR., a fodder legume, contained high amounts of IAA. A tryptophan pool present in the nodule might serve as a source of IAA production. Presence of IAA oxidase and peroxidase in the nodules indicated the metabolism of IAA, at least in part, in the nodules. The Rhizobium species isolated from the root nodules produced a high amount of IAA (190 μg/ml) from L-tryptophan supplemented basal medium. IAA production and microbial growth were coincident. The production of IAA by the Rhizobium sp. was increased by 315% when the medium was supplemented with lactose (1%), NiCl2 (10 μg/ml), cetyl pyridinium chloride (0.5 μg/ml) and glutamic acid (0.4%), in addition to L-tryptophan (3 mg/ml). The possible role of the rhizobial production of IAA on the rhizobia-legume symbiosis is discussed.

    Notes: In a prospective study, nuclear DNA was extracted from colorectal tumours and normal mucosa which had been fixed in buffered formalin and embedded into paraffin. DNA-extraction was performed using three different methods: a commercial kit which was not especially created for this use; a known fast procedure without DNA-cleaning steps; and a more conventional DNA-preparation protocol with DNA-cleaning. Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA was amplified by being targeted onto two β-globin fragments with different lengths (536 bp and 989 bp) and (CA)n repeats localized on chromosome 5q (D5S346) and chromosome 17p (TP53CA) with a length of about 100 bp for detection of microsatellite instability. The success rate of microsatellite amplification was 100% with all methods. The 536 bp β-globin fragment could be amplified with a success rate ranging from 40% to 100%. The amplification of the 989 bp β-globin fragment was unsuccessful. Significant differences were observed between the three methods in the final DNA concentration and DNA yield. In microsatellite instability studies of paraffin-embedded tissues, the investigator can expect a high success rate of nearly 100% using any of the described methods.

    Notes: An enzymatic process to decrease the phenolic content in canola meal was investigated. The new method was based on the addition of an enzyme preparation from the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor to concentrated meal-buffer slurries. This approach eliminated the extraction of the valuable meal components such as proteins and carbohydrates. Two systems were considered: (i) slurries with canola meal concentrations higher than 33% [w/v]; (ii) slurries with canola meal concentrations equal to or less than 12.5% [w/v] with n-hexane as the main component of the continuous phase.The concentration of sinapic acid esters decreased by 99% after a 1.5, 2 and 3 hour long treatment of the meal with an initial moisture content of 75% at 90°C, 70°C and 50°C, respectively. The process was carried out at temperaturs as high as 110°C. Both the enzyme and the moisture concentrations influenced the enzymatic process and their action was coupled. The concentration of oxygen strongly affected the process.The enzymatic process was able to be carried out in the presence of hexane as the main component of the continuous phase. The optimum temperature for such a process was 30-40°C, At 30°C, after 1 h of treatment, the meal phenolic content was decreased by 97%. The water uptake by the meal was diminished in the presence of hexane.

    Notes: TNM-FH Lepidopteran insect cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), while allowing limited vegetative growth of Paenibacillus larvae (wild-type strain), the causative agent of American foulbrood, contained no viable vegetative cells upon subculture, nor were any heat resistant spores produced in this medium alone. However, TNM-FH medium cotaining embryonic or midgut cells from Trichoplusia ni, hemocytes from Estigmene acrea, ovarian and embryonic cells from Spodoptera frugiperda, embryonic cells from Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera exigua and Pseudaletia unipuncta or ovarian cells from Lymantria dispar, supported both heavy vegetative cell growth and moderate production of heat resistant spores. EX-CELL 405 serum-free insect cell culture medium alone appeared to contain the appropriate nutrients required for both vegetative growth and sporulation of P. larvae. However, in the presence of embryonic cells from T. ni, limited vegetative growth occurred and the P. larvae cells appeared to die off. This was confirmed by the fact that no colony growth occurred upon subculture, nor were any heat resistant spores detected. This was true also in the presence of fat body cells from T. ni, except that a limited number of spores (4,000/ml) were detected in the form of cology-forming units (CFU) on plates following heating to 80°C for 20 minutes. In a parallel study with a wild-type strain of Bacillus popilliae, vegetative cells grew only in TNM-FH medium in the presence of mid-gut BTI-Tn-MG and ovarian (Tn-368) cells of T. ni. No heat resistant spores, however, were detected in any of the cultures. When BTI-Tn-MG and Tn-368 cells were further challenged with four variant cultures of B. popilliae, vegetative growth and limited sporulation were achieved. The BTI-Tn-MG cell line in TNM-FH medium produced as many as 12,000 spores/ml after 21 days in culture.

    Notes: The conversion of starch from unhydrolyzed cassava flour to ethanol by a pure culture of Endomycopsis fibuligera and by a co-culture of this amylolytic yeast and the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis was studied.The best overall results were obtained using the mixed culture. After 96 h of fermentation of a medium containing 150 g/l initial cassava starch, an ethanol concentration of 31.4 g/l, a productivity of 0.33 g ethanol/l × h and a yield of 0.21 g ethanol/g initial starch were reached. The highest yield (0.37 g/g) was obtained after 48 h when using a medium containing 50 g/l initial starch.

    Notes: Common theories of microbial growth and physiology are formulated exclusively in terms of the isolated microorganisms - especially bacteria. This is, however, an inadmissible simplification because it is obvious that the organization of microbial populations and colonies follows certain general rules.Bacterial colonies are able to generate complex interfacial growth patterns similar to those observed during diffusion-limited growth processes in non-living systems. One reason for these patterns is assumed to be the ability of many bacteria to swarm in an active manner on a substrate surface. Therefore the models of bacterial colony growth incorporate “random walkers”, which move actively in response to a gradient in the concentration of nutrients and communicate with each other by means of a chemotactic feedback.A selected number of yeasts were tested with regard to their colony growth patterns depending on the medium parameters such as nutrient concentration. Growth patterns similar to those which were described in literature for bacteria were also found in these experiments. It concerns in particular growth types like compact growth, fractal growth and dense-branching growth.This result allows a hypothesis to be formulated, that - especially in the case of fractal growth patterns - wandering of cells on a substrate surface may be induced by uncontrolled “swimming” on a thin water film caused by the metabolic activity (e.g. respiration) of the cells on the surface of the agar.Furthermore it was found that an interplay between changes in the individual morphology of yeast cells and the morphology transitions takes place. Such growth patterns are known for Candida sp. which are able to form pseudomycel and blastospores.

    Notes: Pioneering research efforts in the handling of municipal sewage in developing countries have involved the use of water hyacinth (Eichhornea crassipes) to purify sewage for possible re-use of the effluent water for domestic purposes. The ability of water hyacinth to remove pollution from raw sewage has been found to be impaired by sewage toxicity. Trials were therefore carried out to adapt water hyacinth to toxicity and thereby increase its ability to remove pollutants from raw sewage. The plants were adapted using an active bio-degrader consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella ozaenae, Klebsiella edwardsiella and Baccillus subtilis. The adaptation progressed through 20, 40, 60 and 80% sewage dilution until plants capable of growth in 100% raw sewage were obtained. Plants were observed for morphological growth and at four weeks, samples were collected for tissue analysis.The plants progressively absorbed nutrients from sewage up to the fourth week, when signs of toxicity were obsereved through wilting, loss of turgidity and reduction in leaf number. However, plants that survived through a series of adaptations under various sewage dilutions exhibited luxuriant growth on raw sewage. In synergy with the active bio-degrader, the efficiency of the adapted water hyacinth to remove pollutants (nutrients) from raw sewage was enhanced by 93%.

    Notes: The reusability of biomass in lactic acid batch fermentation with free cells of Lactobacillus paracasei was studied in a 2-1 fermenter and in a 50-1 fermenter. In lab-scale fermentation experiments, 33 to 100% of the cell mass formed was reused in the subsequent batch in each case. In a series of seven consecutive batches, maximum values of lactate formation productivity of 6.32 to 11.54 g/l × h were observed at initial cell concentrations of 2.1 to 24.6 g/l. In all of the experiments, the initial cell viability was 78% or greater than 78%, and the final cell viability did not fall below 70%. At cell concentrations above 20 g/l, the productivity of lactic acid formation did not increase further, but remained constant. Because its level could be influenced by varying the proportions between the content of yeast extract, peptone and initial cell mass (1:1:2, 1:1:1 and 3.3.1) in the medium and no inhibitory effects were observed, this finding can be attributed to nutrient limitation. A low degree of cell reuse was reached in an analogous series of experiments carried out in a 50-1 fermenter. In this case, the initial cell concentration varied between 0.5 and 1.1 g/l, and therefore cell growth was not limited by nutrients in the first period of fermentation. Lactate production was still stable after six cell-reuse operations. The lactic acid yield did not fall below 90%. Temporary storage of the biomass in a refrigerator for a time interval of one to two weeks caused no significant impairment of overall lactate production, but a proportional prolongation of the lag phase occurred with increasing duration of storage.

    Notes: A 4-nitrophenol degrading strain PNP1 isolated from the El-Harrach River near Algiers (Algeria) was studied with respect to its growth behaviour. According to the morphological and biochemical characteristics this strain was assigned to Pseudomonas putida. Besides 4-nitrophenol, the strain also used 1,2- and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene, benzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate as sources of carbon and energy, degrading them exclusively via the ortho pathway. Pseudomonas putida PNP1 degrades 4-nitrophenol through a purely oxidative pathway with release of the nitro group as nitrite. During cultivation with 4-nitrophenol in ammonium-containing mineral medium, the strain PNP1 grew optimally at pH 7 and at a temperature between 30 and 35°C and showed stoichiometric nitrite release (at pH 7 and 30°C MONOD model parameters μmax = 0.615 h-1 and KS = 0.145 mg/l). A phenomenological model for the description of growth inhibition at high 4-nitrophenol concentrations was derived (below 400 mg/l only weak inhibition and at 600 mg/l acute toxicity). In ammonium-free medium, the maximum specific growth rate was reduced to 0.318 h-1 and part of the 4-nitrophenol-N was used as the nitrogen source (32% N in biomass and 68% N in nitrite). The yield coefficients of strain PNP1 were smaller in ammonium-free than in ammonium-containing medium (e.g. with 4-nitrophenol YX/S = 0.305 g/g compared to 0.350 g/g), which can be explained by the energy expense for the assimilatory nitrite reduction in the biosynthesis of N-containing cellular compounds. But the oxygen consumption was only slightly influenced by the ammonium content of the cultivation medium (e.g. with 4-nitrophenol YO/S = 1.005 g/g compared to 0.954 g/g).

    Notes: An enzymic characteristic of Novo dextranase was presented. In addition to a high dextranolytic activity (7,200 U/ml), the crude enzyme also contained small amounts of protease, glucoamylase, polygalacturonase, carboxymethylcellulase, laminarinase and chitinase. A highly purified dextranase was then simply separated from a commercial preparation by column chromatographies on DEAE-Sepharose, CM-Sepharose, and by chromatofocussing on Polybuffer Exchanger PBE-94. The enzyme was recovered with an over 200-fold increase in specific activity and a yield of 84%. The final preparation was homogeneous, as observed during high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Size-exclusion HPLC indicated that dextranase had a molecular mass of 35 kDa and its isoelectric point, established by chromatofocussing, was 4.85. Analysis of the dextran break-down products indicated that purified dextranase represents an endolytic mode of action, and isomaltose and isomaltotriose were identified as the main reducing sugars of dextran hydrolysis. The enzyme was then covalently coupled to the silanized porous glass beads modified by glutaraldehyde (Carrier I) or carbodiimide (Carrier II). It was shown that immobilization of dextranase gave optimum pH and temperature ranges from 5.4 to 5.7 and from 50°C to 60°C, respectively. The affinity of the enzyme to the substrate decreased by a factor of more than 13 for dextranase immobilized on Carrier I and increased slightly (about 1.4-times) for the enzyme bound to Carrier II.

    Notes: The ability of a mixed natural microbial population, collected in an aerated lagoon treating Fluff pulp effluent and Streptomyces viridosporus strain T7A, to degrade lignosulphonate was evaluated. S. viridosporus growing in a mineral medium containing glycerol (7 g/l) and lignosulphonate (1 g/l) allowed 20% of lignosulphonate to be degraded after 18 days of incubation. A culture of the mixed population on culture medium after S. viridosporus growth was unable to degrade lignosulphonate products. Moreover, antagonism between S. viridosporus and the mixed population or between S. viridosporus and the isolated strains from this population was observed. The enhancement of lignosulphonate biodegradation by naturally occurring microorganisms in association with S. viridosporus (bioaugmentation strategy) seems to be difficult.

    Notes: The cleaning of the exhaust gases of a bioreactor containing volatile hydrocarbons in a bioreactor system with a closed gas circuit is described. The bioreactor system consisted of three different reactor types: a stirred tank which was filled with hydrocarbon-containing waste water to simulate the exhaust gases of a remediation process; a trickle-bed reactor for aerobic treatment of the exhaust gas from the stirred tank; and a photoreactor containing an algae culture which assimilated CO2 from the trickle-bed reactor and also produced O2. With this bioreactor system, it was possible to efficiently remove volatile organic compounds (VOC) from the waste gases. Depending on the type of waste water investigated, elimination rates of 41% to 93% of BTEX (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene) and 29% to 53% of VCH (volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons) were obtained. Due to the photosynthesis of the algae in the system's photoreactor, oxygen concentrations between 12% and 18% [v/v], equivalent to about 57% to 83% DOT, were obtained. This concentration permitted the aerobic degradation to be carried out without having to add fresh air. The trickle-bed reactor and the photoreactor worked continuously, whereas the waste water in the stirred bioreactor was replaced in different batches. The accumulation of toxic compounds in the nutrient solutions of the trickle-bed (EC-50 〉 30 g/l) and of the photoreactor (EC-50 〉 35 g/l) was low. Carbon dioxide concentrations in the gas flow were higher than in fresh air (1% to 3% [vol/vol]), but no long-term accumulation of CO2 occurred. This means that the algae in the photoreactor were active enough to assimilate the CO2 which had been produced. They were also able to produce sufficient oxygen for aerobic hydrocarbon degradation. The system described is a first step towards treating waste gases which results from the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated media in a closed gas circuit without any emission (e.g. VOC, CO2, germs).

    Notes: Protoplasts of a xylose-fermenting yeast strain (a fusion product of Pachysolen tannophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were fused with isolated nuclei of the xylan degrading filamentous fungus Fusarium moniliforme. Polyethyleneglycol 4000 was used as the fusogenic agent. Fourteen stable hybrids showing xylanase activity were obtained. It can be assumed that this ability was acquired from the nuclear genome of the fungus, since the parental yeast strain did not show any xylanase activity. The enzymatic activity was determined quantitatively. The parental strain of the fungus reached its maximum xylanase activity of 796 nkat/ml at 96 h of growth. Four of the hybrids had a xylanase activity of between 211 and 297 nkat/l at 24 h of growth. Zymograms of these hybrids showed the presence of xylanases when grown on xylan as the sole carbon source. Using pulse field electrophoresis gels, no difference between the chromosome pattern of the fusion products and the parental yeast strain was observed.

    Notes: The calluses of two hydroxyproline-resistant lines (D20-1 and D30-1) of Solanum tuberosum L. were transferred to a solidified MS medium containing 1.0 mg/I IAA, 2.0 mg/l zeatin, 40.0 mg/l adenine sulphate, 1 g/l casein hydrolysate, 20 g/l sucrose and 10 g/l agar for plant regeneration. The shoot regeneration was only achieved from the callus of line D20-1. Regenerated shoots exhibited morphological variability. The degrees of frost tolerance were higher in the leaves of the regenerated plants compared with the leaves of the non-selected control plants, but lower than that of the callus from which they were regenerated.

    Notes: The batch production of gluconic acid in the presence of glucose, sucrose and molasses was investigated using free mycelia of Aspergillus foetidus NRRL 337 in shake flasks. Eight growth parameters were chosen as independent variables. The temperature, pH, substrate type and initial concentrations, inoculum percentage and shake rate directly affected the specific microorganism growth and gluconic acid production rates. The optimum temperature and initial pH values were found to be 33°C and five to six, respectively. The maximum specific growth and gluconic acid production rates were established as 57 g/dm3 of glucose, 75 g/dm3 of sucrose and 150 g/dm3 of molasses. The optimum values of the shake rate, inoculum percentage and initial ammonium nitrate concentration were determined as 100 1/min, 0.5% and 1.5 g/dm3, respectively. The maximum gluconic acid concentrations corresponding to these initial substrate concentrations were observed to be 8.3 g/dm3, 17.4 g/dm3 37.0 g/dm3, respectively. The optimum specific microbial growth and gluconic acid production rates were found as 0.0145 1/h and 0.0375 g/g × h, respectively, for the fermentation conditions of SGo = 57 g/dm3, T = 28°C, initial pH = 6.5, N = 84 1/min, A = 0.5 g/dm3 and I = 0.5%.

    Notes: Covalent immobilization of thermostable α-amylases from catabolite resistant and sensitive Bacillus licheniformis strains on controlled pore glass (CPG) and porous silica (Spherosil) beads and ionic binding on DEAE-cellulose, Amberlite and Dowex were investigated. Preparations with satisfactory operational stabilities and activities up to 1,600 U/g of support (ionic binding) and 800 U/g carrier (covalent coupling) were obtained. Immobilization led to a narrowing of the pH interval of maximum activity. The fixed amylases were stable in limited pH regions around the optimum pH level. An enhancement of the enzyme thermostability was observed. Apparent shifts of the optimum temperatures were not found. The apparent Vmax decreased up to 80 times. The Km′ remained unchanged (for amylopectin as the substrate) or increased up to 10 times (soluble starch). Maltose, maltotriose and maltopentaose were the main products of the hydrolysis. A significant increase in maltopentaose content was observed.

    Notes: The formation of reactive groups on polyamide nets (nylon 6) and the subsequent immobilization of glucoamylase were investigated. Different mesh sizes of the nets and two chemical methods of enzyme coupling - i( partial hydrolysis of the polyamide with subsequent glutaraldehyde binding and ii) O-alkylation of the carrier using a treatment with a benzene-methyl sulphate mixture - were used. The reactivity of immobilized glucoamylase (GA) was tested by hydrolysis reactions using 1% starch solutions. The highest reactivity (140 μg glc/)min × cm2 was obtained for methylated nylon samples attached to a glass rod and by coupling glucoamylase on the nylon surface which had been treated with lysine and glutaraldehyde. This method resulted in a more reactive and more stable preparation of immobilized glucoamylase as compared to a simpler method of coupling glutaraldehyde to partially hydrolyzed nylon.

    Notes: Different cultural parameters that regulate pectinolytic enzyme production in vitro by Trametes trogii were studied. When grown in a medium containing pectin, T. trogii produced extracellular polymethylgalacturonase, polygalacturonase and pectin lyase but no pectate lyase activity. No significant differences in the maximum enzyme activities measured were observed with the addition of xylan, carboxymethylcellulose or both to the medium containing pectin. The addition of glucose to that medium considerably decreases all the activities studied, and in a medium with glucose as the sole carbon source no galacturonase activity could be measured, and pectin lyase activity was at its minimum. The low synthesis of pectin lyase in cultures containing glucose suggests that this enzyme is constitutive in contrast to the polygalacturonases that were not detected. The increase in pectin concentration stimulated growth and enzyme production. The highest specific activities were attained with the greatest concentration tested (15 g/l). Casamino acids were the best nitrogen source for enzyme production. Maximum growth was measured at pH 3.3; pH values of around 4.5 stimulated enzyme production, but high pectinase activities were also detected in media with more alkaline initial pH values (6.2 for galacturonases and 6.6 for lyases), probably owing to the specific induction of particular isoforms. In the range of 23 to 28°C, good results were obtained in growth as well as in enzyme production. The addition of Tween 80 promoted growth and gave the highest yield of polymethylgalacturonase and pectin lyase (0.37 and 36.2 E.U./ml, respectively). The highest polygalacturonase activity (1.1 E.U/ml) was achieved with polyethylene glycol. Tween 20 and Triton X-100 inhibited growth and pectinase production.

    Notes: Cell growth and organic acid production by Propionibacteria are dependent on the vitamin-nitrogen source in the culture medium. Final cell and propionic acid concentrations produced by Propionibacterium shermanii, using corn-steep liquor, were higher than those obtained utilizing yeast extracts. Since corn-steep liquor is much cheaper than yeast extract, the process becomes more attractive. By calculating the specific growth rates, it was observed that the critical propionic acid concentration, that prevents all growth (μX = 0), is different depending on the vitamin-nitrogen source used and its concentration. For example, for 5.0 and 15.0 g/l Oxoid yeast extract, those critical propionic acid concentrations were 16.0 and 27.0 g/l, respectively. Such propionic acid concentrations inhibit the cell growth, but not the formation of acid. The specific propionic acid production rate also indicates that the critical concentration for metabolic activity, when propionic acid is no longer produced (μP = 0), varies according to the vitamin-nitrogen source and its concentration in the medium. For 5.0 and 15.0 g/l Oxoid yeast extract, those concentrations were 22.1 and 30.1 g/l, respectively.

    Notes: The fermentation process of acid curd whey using pure cultures of L. bulgaricus and L. acidophilus was investigated. The influence of the starter culture amount on the acidification rate in the fermentation was specified, the biological value of fermented and fermented-ammoniated curd whey was determined, and the ability of fermented whey to prevent the injurious effect of Bac. mesenthericus on the wheat bread quality was examined.Acid curd whey was fermented up to a titratable acidity of 19.8-21.6 g lactic acid/kg whey using L. acidophylus and L. bulgaricus. Mathematical equations were developed on the basis of experimental data to calculate the titratable acidity (A) as a functionof fermentation time (τ) and temperature (t). Fermentation and fermentation-ammoniation processes increase the biological value of whey (the content of the vitamins B1, B2, B6, PP and the free amino acids increase). A new dry fodder BIOLAKTS was developed from fermented curd whey and was recommended for use in veterinary medicine. The fermentation-ammoniation process of curd whey was carried out by adding calculated amounts of non-protein nitrogen NH4OH to increase the total protein equivalent and to achieve mutual proportions of protein and lactose 1:1.4, as in skimmed milk. Fermented-ammoniated curd whey was used to obtain a skimmed milk substitute. A dry flour lactic acid concentrate (FLC) was created as a mixture of high quality wheat flour and evaporated fermented whey in established ratios. As our experiments prove, it can be used as an additive in bread-making to prevent the spoiling of wheat bread by Bac. mesenthericus.

    Notes: Samples of the edible mushroom Laccaria amethystina, which is known to accumulate arsenic, were collected from two uncontaminated beech forests and an arsenic-contaminated one in Denmark. The total arsenic concentration was 23 and 77 μg  As g-1 (dry weight) in the two uncontaminated samples and 1420 μg As g-1 in the contaminated sample. The arsenic species were liberated from the samples using focused microwave-assisted extraction, and were separated and detected by anion- and cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer as arsenic-selective detector. Dimethylarsinic acid accounted for 68-74%, methylarsonic acid for 0.3-2.9%, trimethylarsine oxide for 0.6-2.0% and arsenic acid for 0.1-6.1% of the total arsenic. The unextractable fraction of arsenic ranged between 15 and 32%. The results also showed that when growing in the highly arsenate-contaminated soil (500-800 μg As g-1) the mushrooms or their associated bacteria were able to biosynthesize dimethylarsinic acid from arsinic acid in the soil. Furthermore, arsenobetaine and trimethylarsine oxide were detected for the first time in Laccaria amethystina. Additionally, unidentified arsenic species were detected in the mushroom. The finding of arsenobetaine and trimethylarsine oxide in low amounts in the mushrooms showed that synthesis of this arsenical in nature is not restricted to marine biota. In order to minimize the toxicological risk of arsenic to humans it is recommended not to consume Laccaria amethystina mushrooms collected from the highly contaminated soil, because of a genotoxic effect of dimethylarsinic acid observed at high doses in animal experiments. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.No Abstract.
