    Notes: Oxygen transfer from gas to liquid under steady-state cocurrent flow conditions was modeled using the dispersion model, and the oxygen transfer coefficients were estimated from available data for a column with Koch motionless mixers. The dispersion in the column was estimated for several different gas and liquid flow rates using steady-state tracer experiments. The estimated oxygen transfer coefficients were compared with those estimated using complete mixing and plug flow models. The results indicate that the dispersion model is the most appropriate model for estimating the mass transfer coefficient from the available data.

    Notes: Chaetomium cellulolyticum, a newly isolated cellulolytic fungus, showed 50-100% faster growth rates and over 80% more final biomass-protein formation than Trichoderma viride, a well-known high cellulase-producing cellulolytic organism, when cultivated on Solka-floc (a purified, predominantly amorphorous form of cellulose) or partially delignified sawdust (consisting of a mixture of hardwoods) as the sole-carbon source in the fermentation media. However, in both cases, T. viride produced much higher quantities of free cellulases at faster rates and also degraded more substrate than C. cellulolyticum. It is concluded that the synthesis mechanisms and/or the nature of the cellulase complexes of the two types of organisms are quite different such that C. cellulolyticum is more optimal for single-cell protein (SCP) production, while T. viride is more optimal for the production of extracellular cellulases.It was also found that the amino acid composition of C. cellulolyticum is generally better than that of T. viride and compares favorably with those of the FAO reference protein, alfalfa, and soya meal. In addition, preliminary feeding trials on rats have shown no adverse effects of the SCP produced by C. cellulolyticum fermentations.

    Notes: The uptake mechanism of liquid hydrocarbons of low solubility in water was investigated, using microorganisms with different affinities for liquid hydrocarbon. Microorganisms which could utilize hydrocarbon were much more adherent to hydrocarbon than those which could not. The adhesive force between Candida intermedia IFO 0761 and hydrocarbon was higher than that of Candida tropicalis ATCC 20336, though both could utilize hydrocarbon. The total hydrocarbon uptake from the drop and accommodation forms of hydrocarbons was much higher than that from dissolved hydrocarbon. The uptake rate of drop-form hydrocarbon was nearly equal to that of accommodation-form hydrocarbon for C. intermedia, but was lower for C. tropicalis which shows lower adhesion to hydrocarbon.

    Notes: The response of a polarographic oxygen electrode to a step change and to an exponential change in bulk oxygen concentration was studied theoretically and experimentally for the case where there is a significant liquid film resistance at the outerside of the membrane-covered electrode. The probe response has been described considering the start-up period of the concentration changes (the period of time that will elapse before the new concentration level is established and/or before the volumetric mass transfer coefficient kLa regains its steady-state value after the gas supply is opened to the fermentor). A linear change of the pertinent characteristics is assumed during this start-up period. It is shown that a substantial error could be introduced by neglecting the start-up period for cases frequently occurring in practice. In addition, the dependences of the probe response on the direct contact of bubbles with an electrode and on the fluid flow field around it were discussed.

    Notes: The overall rate of reaction of a gel-immobilized urease particle necessarily depends upon the hydrogen ion concentrations within the particle. When the particle is unbuffered, the internal hydrogen ion concentrations are a consequence of the local rates of reaction and the rate of egress of the products of hydrolysis. A simple apparatus has been devised which allows a fairly rapid determination of the hydrogen ion concentration in the center of a particle for any given size, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and external pH. The products of urea hydrolysis are self-buffering in the region of pH 8.83 and for an external pH less than the self-buffering pH, the pH within the particle is increased because of the reaction. When the external pH is greater than the self-buffering pH, the converse occurs. The pH at the center of the particle approaches the self-buffering pH with an increase in particle size and enzyme concentration. The external pH necessarily differs in effect when above or below the self-buffering pH. An increase in the external substrate concentration has a limited effect, simply rendering the local rates of reaction to be of zero order. The center-line pH and therefore all internal hydrogen ion concentrations depend upon the parameter \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ L\sqrt {\rho _e} $\end{document} and the external pH. Differences between the external and center-line pH values of the order of units are unexceptional. The implications of the internal pH profiles on the local and overall rates of reaction are explored.

    Notes: A mathematical model is presented that describes the concentration of an amino acid in total cell protein as a function of its concentration in individual cell proteins or in sets of cell proteins. The resulting equation makes it possible to calculate how the makeup of cell proteins must change to obtain a specified alteration in the content of an amino acid in the total cell protein. It is recognized that protein species or sets of proteins that are distinguished by being richer or poorer in a key amino acid than the overall protein must undergo considerable variations in content. The necessary extent of these shifts suggests that the amino acid composition of total cell protein is not likely to be affected significantly by variations in the cultivation conditions.

    Notes: Glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Candida utilis were cultivated at various pH levels (3.0-7.5), temperatures (15-37.5°C), dilution rates (0.06-0.42 hr-1), and with one of two nitrogen sources (NH4+ or NO3-). Enterobacter aerogenes was also cultivated in the chemostat under nitrogen and phosphorus limitations. The amino acid profile of total cell protein is expressed as the content of each amino acid relative to the sum of all amino acids recovered after acid hydrolysis. Cell residues obtained after hot trichloroacetic acid extraction display small variations in amino acid profile. Some of these variations correlate with the growth rate at satisfactory levels of statistical significance. In C. utilis, the correlations cover increased levels of lysine, arginine, and leucine and decreased levels of serine and glutamic acid with increased “reduced dilution rate” (D/Dc). In E. aerogenes, increased levels of lysine and arginine and a decreased level of glutamic acid correlate with increased dilution rate. The directions of most of these correlations and the extents of those pertaining to lysine and arginine are consistent with the change predicted to occur simultaneously in the relative level of the ribosomal protein group.

    Notes: A model for the growth of an organism on multiple substrates was developed, assuming that each substrate has a competitive inhibition effect on the uptake of other substrates. The model was extended to examine mixed substrates, showing that the coexistence of several species at steady state in continuous cultures is possible, even when all the organisms all strongly prefer the one substrate. The diversity of nutrient sources in a real system may be a key factor in supporting a heterogeneous microbial population.

    Notes: An extracellular polymer was produced by continuous fermentation of Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus on kerosene in a 24 liter reactor. This polymer was composed of protein, lipid, and carbohydrates. The polymer possesed surface active properties, and had two critical micelle concentrations. Its effectiveness was quite comparable to the effectiveness of synthetic surface active agents such as Tween 80 and Span 20; however, its efficiency was much lower. The polymer also had emulsifying properties. Maximum emulsification was obtained at pH 6. The emulsifying properties were unaffected by high salt concentration [up to 5% (w/v) in Na+], and tolerated a water hardness up to 5,000 ppm. A 2 hr treatment of the polymer at temperatures higher than 65°C resulted in a loss of its emulsifying properties. Two microorganisms, named SLYS and Y, isolated from soil, were able to grow on the polymer as sole carbon and energy source, thus proving its biodegradability. SLYS was tentatively identified as Flavobacterium breve and Y as Flavobacterium devorans.

    Notes: A new approach to preparative organic synthesis in aqueous-organic systems is suggested. It is based on the idea that the enzymatic process is carried out in a biphasic system “water-water-immiscible organic solvent.” Thereby the enzyme is localized in the aqueous phase - this eliminates the traditional problem of stabilizing the enzyme against inactivation by a nonaqueous solvent. Hence, in contrast to the commonly used combinations “water-water-miscible organic solvent,” in the suggested system the content of water may be infinitely low. This allows one to dramatically shift the equilibrium of the reactions forming water as a reaction product (synthesis of esters and amides, polymerization of amino acids, sugars and nucleotides, dehydration reactions, etc.) toward the products. The fact that the system consists of two phases provides another very important source for an equilibrium shift, i.e., free energies of the transfer of a reagent from one phase to the other. Equations are derived describing the dependence of the equilibrium constant in a biphasic system on the ratio of the volumes of the aqueous and nonaqueous phases and the partition coefficients of the reagents between the phases. The approach has been experimentally verified with the synthesis of N-acetyl-L-tryptophan ethyl ester from the respective alcohol and acid. Porous glass was impregnated with aqueous buffer solution of chymotrypsin and suspended in chloroform containing N-acetyl-L-tryptophan and ethanol. In water (no organic phase) the yield of the ester is about 0.01%, whereas in this biphasic system it is practically 100%. The idea is applicable to a great number of preparative enzymatic reactions.

    Notes: A simplified procedure for the preparation of 1,4-α-glucan phosphorylase from Klebsiella pneumoniae is described. An 80-fold purification is achieved in two steps with an overall yield of about 50%. The specific activity of the homogeneous enzyme protein is 17.7 units/mg. Compared with glycogen phosphorylase from rabbit muscle the enzyme from K. pneumoniae shows a markedly higher stability against deforming and chaotropic agents. The 1,4-α-glucan phosphorylase was covalently bound to porous glass particles by three different methods. Coupling with glutaraldehyde gave the highest specific activity, i.e., 5.6 units/mg of bound protein or 133 units/g of glass with maltodextrin as substrate. This corresponds to about 30% of the specific activity of the soluble enzyme. With substrates of higher molecular weight, such as glycogen or amylopectin, lower relative activity was observed. The immobilized enzyme preparations showed pH activity profiles which were slightly displaced to higher values and exhibited an increased temperature stability.

    Notes: In a previous article, the method of preparation and the physical properties of porous (75 to 80% porosity) cellulose beads were described (Biotechnol. Bioeng., 18, 1057 (1976)). The present article reports that the chemical procedures employed for immobilizing enzymes on ordinary cellulose can be applied to the porous cellulose beads. The results showed more enzyme loading on the beads than ordinary cellulose. The choice of the procedures might also affect the mechanical strength of the cellulose beads.

    Notes: Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3., from Pseudomonas sp.) was entrapped in collagen membrane containing liquid crystal (4-methoxybenzilidene-4′-n-butylaniline). The activity of the lipase-liquid crystal membrane at an applied voltage of 4 V was 3.4 compared to a membrane tested without imposition of an external electric field. A linear relationship was observed between the activity of the lipase-liquid crystal membrane and the current. The apparent Michaelis constant (K′m) of the lipase-liquid crystal membrane under electric field was identical to that of the membrane under ordinary condition. Activation of the lipase-liquid crystal membrane was observed repeatedly, i.e., activation in the presence of an electric field and reversion to a basal level upon removal of the field occurred cyclically. Activity control of immobilized enzymes is desirable for switching devices of a bioreactor. Possible mechanisms of the lipase activation by electric field are discussed.

    Notes: A continuous high-speed horizontal colloid mill of novel design for use in the microbiological and food industries was tested for the disintegration of cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis. The mill consists of a horizontal vessel with round or oval cross sections fitted with a high-speed longitudinal agitator shaft on which are mounted disk agitators, alternating radially and obliquely to the shaft. The mill is partly filled with freely moving grinding elements which, during a continuous operation, are maintained in the vessel by a vibrating annular slot separator. Highly efficient cooling is provided by circulation of cooling fluid through a jacket surrounding the vessel as well as through the agitator shaft and disks. The radial agitator disks impart a radial motion to the grinding elements, while the oblique disks give rise to the axial movement of a substantial part of the elements. The crossing of paths thus achieved gives the mill a very high efficiency. Using a mill of 20 liter nominal capacity, the effects of agitator design, agitator speed, flow rate, and concentration of the cell suspension on the disintegration efficiency and heat production were studied. Ninety per cent of S. cerevisiae cells in a 15% suspension could be broken at a residence time of 2.5 min. The temperature rise did not exceed 8° C. The corresponding figure for C. utilis was 84%. The maximal flow rate was 400 liter/hr. Extrapolation indicates that available industrial mills of 300 liter capacity based on the same design can handle flows of 2000 liter/hr.

    Notes: The stereospecific hydrolysis of D,L-phenylalanine methylester with immobilized α-chymotrypsin was carried out as a model reaction for the racemate resolution of aromatic amino acids in a five staged fluidized-bed reactor (FBR). Owing to ester hydrolysis, a pH shift occurred along the reactor. Because of the pH-dependent enzyme activity a particular longitudinal pH profile had to be enforced by a proper entrance pH in order to gain an optimum conversion. In the FBR with optimum pH profile, higher conversions were achieved than in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at the pH optimum and at the same contact time. By the application of a proton balance and the results of kinetic measurements a model was developed for the prediction of the optimum longitudinal pH profile with regard to the maximum conversion.

    Notes: A continuous stirred tank fermentor (CSTF) used for cultivation of the fungus Morchella crassipes in ammonia base waste sulfite liquor (NH3-WSL) was considered as a multivariable linear system around its operating point. Pulse testing on the inputs (inlet jacket temperature, inlet pH, inlet substrate concentration) and their responses at the outputs (biomass, outlet temperature, outlet jacket temperature, outlet pH, outlet substrate concentration) were used for numerical determination of the transfer function matrix:

    Notes: A simple, low-priced 30 liter tower-type algal pilot plant for the cultivation of light- and motion-sensitive species is described. Two hundred g wet weight of Microcystis aeruginosa were obtained per harvest. Since the self-shading of denser cultures could be compensated for only to a limited extent by increasing the light intensity without damaging the cells, the efficiency of various culture-vessel widths was determined for the growth of Microcystis : the best results were obtained with a width of 3.5 cm. Light requirements of Microcystis were studied in shadowless suspensions. The compensation point of photosynthesis varied between 200 and 300 lx, depending on the preillumination, whereas the light saturation point was found to be near 4000 Ix. The light optimum for photosynthesis was not identical with that for good growth.

    Notes: Papain and lipase were immobilized on derivatized Sepharose 4-B. The activated agarose had a binding capacity of 1.2 μmol amino groups/ml packed agarose or 17 mg proteins/g dry agarose. The immobilized enzyme preparations were tested for the effects of pH of assay, temperature of assay, and substrate concentrations. The effect of 6M urea on the activity of papain was also determined. Soluble forms of the enzymes were used for comparison. Immobilization of the enzymes resulted in slightly different pH and temperature optima for activities. For immobilized papain Km (app) was similar to the one observed with soluble papain. Immobilization of lipase, however, caused a decrease in Km values. The immobilized enzyme preparations were stable when stored at 4°C and pH 7.5 for periods up to eight months. The soluble enzymes lost their activity within 96 hr under similar storage conditions. Immobilized papain did not lose any activity after treatment with 6M urea for 270 min, whereas soluble papain lost 81% of its activity after the urea treatment, indicating that the immobilization of papain imparted structural and conformational stability to this enzyme.

    Notes: It is shown that the mass transfer resistance can significantly distort the linearity of the Lineweaver-Burk plot of the kinetic data for a microbial culture which forms aggregates. For small flocs, the linearity of the Lineweaver-Burk plot is largely retained, but a different slope and intercept will be obtained compared with flocs free from mass transfer resistance. For large flocs, the Lineweaver-Burk plot shows pronounced curvature at high limiting substrate concentrations. Hence, if the true intrinsic kinetic parameters are to be extracted from a highly flocculating microbial culture, sufficient agitation has to be provided to remove the effect of mass transfer resistance. If the behavior of the flocculating microbial culture is to be explored, additional values for some physical parameters, such as the effective diffusion coefficient of the substrate in floc, the floc density, and the mean floc radius, are needed.

    Notes: The estimation of parameters in several dynamic models, which describe growth and substrate consumption, has been carried out using a modified Gauss-Newton-type method. The four models considered are Monod, Contois, linear specific growth rate, and an enzyme kinetic model. The initial values of the differential equations are included in the parameter vector which will be estimated. The efficiency of the method and the confidence limits of the parameters were studied using simulated measurement noise. The experimental results describe Trichoderma viride growing on glucose as the main carbon source.

    Notes: Despite the importance of biomass as a parameter in fermentation processes, there are no commercially available sensors suitable for its measurement. An indirect approach for the assessment of biomass concentration can be based on material balances and on the direct monitoring of fermentation parameters for which there are established sensors (e.g., gaseous oxygen and carbon dioxide). As a consequence, this method requires no assumption of cellular yield coefficients or rate constants. This approach is also readily adaptable to general use since it requires only some knowledge of the compositions of the substrate, cells, and noncellular products.

    Notes: The economics of yeast production depend heavily upon the cellular yield coefficient on the carbon source and the volumetric productivity of the process. The application of an on-line computer to maximize these two terms during the fermentation requires a continuous method of measuring cell density and growth rate. U fortunately, a direct sensor for biomass concentration suitable for use in industrial fermentations is not available. Material balancing, with the aid of on-line computer monitoring, offers an indirect method of measurement. Laboratory results from baker's yeast production in a 14-liter fermentor (with a PDP-11/10 computer for on-line analyses) show this indirect measurement technique to be a viable alternative. From the oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production data, gas flow rate, and ammonia addition rate, the cell density during the fermentation has been estimated and found to compare well with actual fermentation data.

    Notes: The kinetic behavior of a system of multiple enzyme in solution has been studied in a variable volume batch reactor at pH 5, controlled dissolved oxygen concentration, and T = 30°C. The enzymes used were glucoamylase (R. delemar), glucose oxidase (A. niger), and gluconolactonase (A. niger), all of which are important commercial biocatalysts, and a disaccharide was employed as the starting substrate. This study includes the basic kinetic properties of individual enzymes and interactions between components of the reaction mixture. Classical Michaelis-Menten single substrate or two substrate kinetic with parameters based on initial rate data predict correctly the batch time course of the sequential reaction network.

    Notes: Glucose isomerase in the form of heat-treated whole-cell enzyme prepared from Streptomyces phaeochromogenus follows the reversible single-substrate reaction kinetics in isomerization of glucose to fructose. Based on the Kinetic constants determined and the mathematical model of the reactor system developed, the preformance of a plug-flow-type continuous-enzyme reactor system was studied experimentally and also simulated with the aid of a computer for the ultimate objective of optimization of the glucose isomerase reactor system.The enzyme decay function for both the enzyme storage and during the use in the continuous reactor, was found to follow the first-order decay kinetics. When the enzyme decay function is taken into consideration, the ideal homogeneous enzyme reactor kinetics provided a satisfactory working model without further complicatin of the mathematical model, and the results of computer simulation were found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. Under a given set of constraints the performance of the continuous glucose isomerase reactor system can be predicted by using the computer simulation method described in this paper.The important parameters studied for the optimization of reactor operation were enzyme loading, mean space time of the reactor, substrate feed concentration, enzyme decay constants, and the fractional conversion, in addition to the kinetic constants. All these parameters have significant effect on the productivity.Some unique properties of the glucose isomerization reaction and its effects on the performance of the continuous glucose isomerase reactor system have been studied and discussed. The reaction kinetics of glucose isomerase and the effects of both the enzyme loading and the changes in reaction rate within a continuous reactor on the productivity are all found to be of particular importance to this enzyme reactor system.

    Notes: The properties of intracellular RNase in disintegrated cell suspensions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been studied. The influence of salt addition and/or incubation of the suspension on the activity of RNase and on the degradation of endogenous RNA was determined. No significant change in the RNase activity in the disintegrated suspensions was obtained by addition of 3% NaCl or by incubation at 50°C with 3% NaCl. During the incubation with NaCl the active RNase was able to degrade endogenous RNA. By incubation without salt the RNase was inactivated. Inactivation also occurred after extraction at alkaline pH. The RNase had an optima at pH 5-6 and temperatures between 50-60°C. The main part of the RNase in the unincubated suspension was soluble at pH 5.6 but not at pH 4.0. After incubation with NaCl the RNase was soluble at pH 4.0. No serious protein degradation occurred during the short time incubation needed for RNA reduction. 70% of the protein in the suspensions was recovered in the precipitate at pH 4.0 after 20 min of incubation. The corresponding protein recovery from unincubated suspensions was 77%.

    Notes: A new mechanochemical method for enzyme immobilization has been elaborated. The principle of this method consists of the following precepts. Partially hydrolyzed nylon fiber, the surface of which is known to be strewn with micro-cracks, is reversibly stretched (∼25%) and placed into an enzyme solution. Then, in the same solution, the fiber is made to relax and is taken out. The fiber retains considerable enzymatic activity even after numerous thorough washings (in a similar procedure without fiber stretching, equivalent washing removed all the enzymatic activity from the fiber). Immobilization on the fiber proceeds due to trapping of enzyme molecules by the microcavities on the surface of the support. The catalytic activity of mechanochemically immobilized chymotrypsin and trypsin is commensurable with their activity on covalent immobilization on nylon (calculated per unit of the macrosurface). A wide range of commercial polymers may be made of use as supports in the mechanochemical method of immobilization.

    Notes: Experiments were carried out on dextran-dextranase systems to test the prediction of a mechanistic model recently proposed by us, for the synergistic effect of combined exo/endo enzymic action in the degradation of polymeric substrate. Soluble forms of the substrate were used. Preliminary experiments with an insoluble form of the substrate were also carried out to demonstrate the applicability of the analytical techniques to these cases. Molecular weight distributions of the degradation products were determined (by gel-permeation chromatography) and the rates of production of glucose and of other reducing sugars were also measured. It was found that the exodextranase alone had very little effect on the molecular weight distributions compared to a significant shift towards lower molecular weight obtained with the endodextranase which was synergistically enhanced by the action of the combined enzymes. Glucose was produced more rapidly by the exoenzyme compared to the endoenzyme, but combinations of the two enzymes gave a rate enhancement greater than the linear sum of the effects of the two individual enzymes. In comparing the degradation indices and polydispersities of the various degradation products, similar synergistic effects of the combined enzymes in accordance with the theoretical predictions, were observed. The practical implications of these findings to the design of fermentation processes which depend on the action of endo- and exoenzyme mixtures are noted.

    Notes: Using ball milled cellulose as the only carbon source Trichoderma viride was grown in a continuous flow culture at pH = 5.0 and T = 30°C. Steady-state values for cell protein, cellulose, and cellulase for different substrate concentrations (4-11 g/liter) and dilution rates (0.033-0.080 hr-1) were obtained. Under steady-state conditions, 50-75% of the cellulose was consumed indicating a critical dilution rate on 0.17 hr-1.Cellulase activity (U/ml) in the fermentation broth increased slightly with increasing substrate concentration and decreased with increasing dilution rate, while the specific cellulase productivity (U/mg cell protein·hr) was fairly independent of the dilution rate, with a maximum around D = 0.05 hr-1.Following step changes in substrate concentration and dilution rate, new steady-state values were reached after three to five residence times (cell protein and cellulose) and four to six residence times (celullase activity).

    Notes: A theoretical model is developed for continuous multistage enzyme production systems, which consist of a growth fermentor used for growing microorganisms rapidly without enzyme production and a subsequent system of induction reactors in which enzymes induction and production occurs. The model allows the computation of the fraction of induced cells residing in the induction reactor for organisms exhibiting a lag phase in enzyme induction. For this model a general analytical solution was obtained for the cumulative internal residence time distribution of a series of n well-stirred vessels with a recycle. The theoretical results are compared in a preliminary way with experimentally measured cellulase productivities of continuous multistage cellulose fermentations with Trichoderma viride QM 9414.

    Notes: The kinetics of phosphate limited growth of two green algae Chorella pyrenoidosa and Selenastrum capricornutum have been studied in chemostats. Several kinetic models which express the specific growth rate as a function of the intracellular phosphours content have been examined, and one of the models was found to be significantly better than the other models. The principles of this model were described in a recent paper by Nyholm.The kinetics of phosphate uptake have been investigated by adding pulses of phosphate to the chemostats. The uptake by phosphours deficient cells could be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics for phosphate concentrations below approximately 500 μg P/liter. Further, with the assumption of a discontinuous adjustment of the uptake rate at the onset of phosphours deficiency, a complete kinetic model for growth and phosphate removal is proposed.The mean cell size and the contents of chlorophyll and RNA per unit dry weight have been measured for C. pyrenoidosa as a function of the dilution rate.

    Notes: The gas-liquid oxygen transfer rate is a key step in the production of antibiotics in submerged fermentation. If the gas-liquid oxygen mass transfer rate is not equal to the required liquid-solid oxygen mass transfer rate at a particular cell concentration, then productivity of the particular fermentation operation will not be the maximum possible value.One way to increase the productivity of a given fermentation tank installation is to increase the cell concentration and to increase the oxygen transfer by changing the mixer and air supply to match the new requirements. In order to evaluate the cost of making this change to the larger mixing equipment, a typical cost example is given which can easily be modified for other combinations of production cost and mixer cost. As an example, it is seen that a considerable savings can result from a given installation by primarily changing the oxygen transfer ability of the equipment to utilize a given fermentor more efficiently. Production cost savings of 8 to 25% are shown in the example cited.

    Notes: On the basis of elastic waves released by imploding cavitation bubbles, a mechanism for biological cell disintegration in high intensity ultrasounds has been proposed. Comparison of this mechanism with the published results on yeast cells shows many points of agreement suggesting that yeast cell disintegration in ultrasonic cavitation occurs by shear stresses developed by viscous dissipative eddies arising from shock waves.

    Notes: The principles of a method for the continuous manufacture of yogurt, based upon a two stage system, are given. The first stage, the prefermentation of milk at 45°C to a pH of 5.7, is described.The limitations of this continuous prefermentation are experimentally determined. No change in the balance of the yogurt bacteria, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, was observed. A mathematical approach is given for starting and stopping the process.

    Notes: Rates of CO2 desorption from fermentation broths under actual operating conditions were determined by measuring the CO2 partial pressure in the exit gas. The concentrations of CO2 physically dissolved in the broths were measured by the so-called tubing method. Values of kLa for CO2 desorption calculated from these values agreed well with the kLa values for oxygen absorption corrected for the difference in gas diffusivities. The dissolved CO2 concentration in the broth, which seems to bean important operating parameter, can easily be estimated from the CO2 partial pressure in the exit gas, a more easily measurable quantity, if the kLa value is known. For a given value of kLa, assumption of perfect mixing or plug flow in the gas phase made little difference in the calculated values of the dissolved CO2 concentration, indicating that the gas phase was probably in between perfect mixing and plug flow.In industrial fermentors, the CO2 partial pressure in the exit gas can practically be assumed to be in equilibrium with the dissolved CO2 concentration.

    Notes: The procedure and apparatus for the continuous coagulation of yogurt are described. The continuous coagulation takes place in a plug-flow fermentor. Prefermented milk is brought into this fermentor with the help of a centrifugal distributor, which avoids any undesirable mixing of the prefermented milk with the acidifying milk. A special stirring plate allows a stirring treatment in the coagulation tank. By this procedure the acidity and the viscosity of the final yogurt can be controlled between certain limits. The organoleptic characteristics of the continuous manufactured yogurt are good.

    Notes: A new method to estimate the oxygen transfer coefficient (KLa) from the experimental dynamic response data is presented. Employing a linear model which allows for gas phase, diffusion film, and oxygen electrode dynamics, the first moment of the response curve is simply related to the sum of the model parameters. Two separate experiments are used to characterize the measurement dynamics and to measure the unknown KLa parameter. The simple calculation procedure involves only measuring the area above the response curves.

    Notes: A laboratory-scale research program was undertaken to investigate the kinetics of the mesophilic (37°C) anaerobic digestion of brewery industry by-product. The purpose was to develop data for the design and operation of full-scale units which could be used to generate methane fuel gas from these materials. This is important because the brewery industry has been susceptible to shortages of natural gas in recent years. The minimum SRT is 2.3 days, although for design purposes as much as ten days is recommended. The biomass yield is 0.512 g volatile suspended solids (VSS)/g volatile solids (VS) or 0.421 g VSS/g chemical oxygen demand (COD). The maintenance requirement is 0.052 g VS/g VSS per day or 0.061 g COD/g VSS per day. The specific methane yield is 2.51 liter/g VSS, and the methane productivity is 0.32-0.41 liter/g dry substrate added or 0.69-0.91 liter/g destroyed. The maximum loading rate for which substrate inhibition is not observed is 6 g dry substrate added per liter per day. The results of the entire program indicate that processing brewery by-product in this manner is both technically feasible and economically attractive.

    Notes: We have demonstrated that a simple electrochemical cell can serve as a detector of NADH concentration in a flow system thereby providing an assay technique for NADH dependent enzymes. When this is applied to NADH produced by enzymatic reaction, then a reproducible measure of enzyme activity is obtained. This method of enzyme activity assay is applicable to a number of oxidoreductase enzymes which employ NAD+ or NADP+ as coenzymes to achieve substrate modification. The presence of electroactive species in samples of human serum has proved a serious problem in the electrochemical analysis of serum activity. These species produce a large background anode current at the anode voltage appropriate for NADH oxidation. The presence of this high current limits the usefulness of amplification of the current output to detect small changes in NADH concentration.

    Notes: A gram-negative bacterium strongly lytic toward living cells of the food yeast Saccharomyces fragilis was isolated by continuous-flow enrichment from compost. The organism was identified as a species of Arthrobacter. The extracellular lytic enzyme complex produced by this bacterium contained β-1,3-glucanase, mannan mannohydrolase, and proteolytic activities. The polysaccharases were inducible by whole yeast cells. In chemostat cultures on chemically defined media, synthesis of the polysaccharases was very slight and only detectable at dilution rates below 0.02 hr-1. Enzyme production in defined media was not solely dependent on growth rate but also was influenced by the growth limiting substrate and the culture history. The production of individual depolymerases and of the lytic activity was studied in batch and chemostat cultures containing yeast as the limiting substrate. The maximum specific growth rate of the Arthrobacter under these conditions was 0.22 hr-1. β-1,3-Glucanase and proteolytic activities were synthesized by exponentially growing bacteria but maximum lytic titers did not develop until the specific growth rate was declining, at which time mannan mannohydrolase syntheses was induced. In yeast limited chemostats polysaccharase syntheses were greatest at the lowest dilution rates examined, namely 0.02 hr-1. Further optimization of enzyme production was achieved by feeding the Arthrobacter culture to a second-stage chemostat. A comparison of lytic enzyme productivities in batch and chemostat cultures has been made.
