    Notes: Growth of Streptomyces tendae was investigated in submerged culture. Images of several mycelia were analyzed by means of an image-processing system. The studies revealed that tip growth angles and branching outgrowth angles could be regarded as normally distributed. Based on these results, a random model for directional growth of hyphal tips as well as directional growth of branches is proposed. This model shows curved elongation of hyphal tips, so that the morphological development of a mycelium up to the formation of a pellet is predicted, similar to that observed in nature.

    Notes: Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells were grown in Sf-900 serum-free medium and two kinds of serum-supplemented media (IPL -41 and Grace's). The specific growth rates of uninfected cells were found to be 0.024, 0.35, and 0.034 h-1 respectively, at 33°C. The IPL -41 medium supported to highest maximum cell density (10.6 × 106 cells/mL) compared to 3.5 × 106 and 8.7 × 106 cells/mL with the Grace's and serum-free media, respectively. In temperature shifdown experiments with a temperature-sensitive baculo-virus (acts10YM1CAT), virus titer and chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) expression were highest in the IPL -41 (5.1 × 107 PFU/mL and 20000 U/mL). Use of Grace's medium gave higher virus titers than the serum-free medium (4.4 × 106 vs 4.1 × 105 PFU/mL) as well as higher CAT titers (7050 vs 1980 U/mL). Interestingly, in the three media used, the highest virus and CAT titers were obtained at MOI (multiplicity of infection) of 0.02 At MOI of 2.0 virtually no increase in virus of CAT titer was observed. This result is contrary to those obtained at constant-temperature (27°C) infection and cell culture, in which higher virus titers and recombinant protein expression and obtained at higher MOI.

    Notes: A mathematical model for apical growth, septation, and branching of mycelial microorganisms is presented. The model consists of two parts: the determinstic part of the model is based on fundamental cellular and physical mechanisms; it represents the kinetics for growth of hyphal tips and septation of apical as well as intercalary compartments. In regard to random occurrences of hyphal growth and branching, the stochastic part deals with branching processes, tip growth directions, and outgrowth orientations of branches. The model can explain the morphological development of mycelia up to the formation of pellets. The results, as predicted by the model, correspond very closely to those observed in experiments. In addition, some unmeasured states can be ascertained, such as the distribution functions of hyphal length (biomass) and tips along pellet radii.

    Notes: Many filamentous bacteria and fungi tend to form pellets, or mixtures of dispersed mycelium and pellets in liquid fermentation broths. In some cases, a specific kind of morphology is required for optimum product yield. When quantitative analysis and characterization of the pellet morphology are needed, an image processing system can be used. It allows a fast and reproducible analysis of the frequency distribution of pellet size, mean pellet size, contents of pellets, or their shape. The use of such a system allows for an on-line analysis. For a demonstration of the method, results of two fermentations of Streptomyces tendae are shown.

    Notes: Flow cytometry was used to measure cell cycle parameters in Solanum aviculare plant cell suspensions. Methods for bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling of plant nuclei were developed so that cell cycle times and the proportion of cells participating in growth could be determined as a function of culture time and conditions. The percentage of cells active in the cell cycle at 25°C decreased from 52% to 19% within 7.6 d of culture; presence of a relatively large proportion of non-active cells was reflected in the results for culture growth. While the maximum specific growth rate of the suspensions at 25°C was 0.34 d-1 (doubling time: 2.0 d), the specific growth rate of active cells was significantly greater at 0.67 d-1, corresponding to a cell cycle time of 1.0 d. A simple model of culture growth based on exponential and linear growth kinetics and the assumption of constant cell cycle time was found to predict with reasonable accuracy the proportion of active cells in the population as a function of time. Reducing the temperature to 17°C lowered the culture growth rate but prolonged the exponential growth phase compared with 25°C; the percentage of cells participating in the cell cycle was also higher. Exposure of plant cells to different agitation intensities in shake flasks had a pronounced effect on the distribution of cells within the cell cycle. The proportion of cells in S phase was 1.8 times higher at a shaker speed of 160 rpm than at 100 rpm, while the frequency of G0 + G1 cells decreased by up to 27%. Because of the significant levels of intraculture heterogeneity in suspended plant cell systems, flow cytometry is of particular value in characterizing culture properties and behavior. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The misfolding of polypeptide chains and aggregation into the insoluble inclusion body state is a serious problem for biotechnology and biomedical research. Developing a rational strategy to control aggregation requires understanding the mechanism of polymerization. We investigated the in vitro aggregation of P22 tailspike polypeptide chains by classical light scattering, nondenaturing gel electrophoresis, two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and computer simulations. The aggregation of polypeptide chains during refolding occurred by multimeric polymerization, in which two multimers of any size could associate to form a larger aggregate and did not require a sequential addition of monomeric subunits. The cluster-cluster polymerization mechanism of aggregation is an important determinant in the kinetic competition between productive folding and inclusion body formation. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The analysis of by-products and impurities in illicit cocaine, including the isomeric truxillines, is important for derivation of both strategic and tactical intelligence. In the present study, various capillary electrophoresis techniques were investigated for this purpose. The use of the anionic β-cyclodextrin sulfobutyl ether IV as a run buffer additive at pH 8.6 gave a good separation of the truxillines and similar high molecular weight impurities in less than eight minutes. These impurities were first isolated from the bulk cocaine matrix using liquid-liquid extraction and size-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography. There was a red shift in the UV spectra obtained for the truxillines using photodiode array (PDA) UV detection during CE analysis. This anomalous behavior is attributed to photo-degradation of the truxillines during the PDA-UV irradiation process. Laser-induced fluorescence detection using a UV krypton/fluoride laser provided greater selectivity and sensitivity versus UV detection for certain uncharacterized high molecular weight impurities.

    Notes: Phospholipase A2 was isolated from Trypanosoma congolense and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzyme appeared to exist in a dimeric form with subunit molecular weights of 16 500 and 18 000. It had a pH optimum of 6·8. Kinetic analysis with different substrates, showed that the enzyme had exceptional specificity for 1,2,dimyristoyl-sn-phosphatidylcholine and 1,2,dioleoyl-sn-phosphatidylcholine with Km values of 1·85 × 10-3 M and 2·12 × 10-3 M respectively. The Arrhenius plot was linear with an activation energy of 5·8 kcal mol-1. Inhibition studies with parahydroxymercuribenzoate and tri-butyltinoxide were positive thus implicating a thiol group at the catalytic site of the enzyme. The enzyme was stable to heat treatment and possessed haemolytic and anticoagulating properties.

    Notes: Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was applied to the separation of the anti-HIV agents, michellamines A and B, and two other structurally related monomers found in the extract of the Ancistrocladus plants. Using buffers containing either 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.0), 50 mM sodium de-oxycholate and 10-20% acetonitrile or 5 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.0), 20 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and 25% acetonitrile allowed baseline separations of the four components in the mixture in less than 10 min. The MEKC methods gave sharper peaks and better resolution compared to high-performance liquid chromatography. For MEKC separation of the plant extracts, UV absorption detection provided adequate sensitivity; however, higher sensitivity could be achieved with UV laser-induced fluorescence detection (LIF). Using the sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing buffer and LIF, the limit of detection for michellamine B was ∼ 2 ng/mL. The sensitivity was degraded ∼100-fold when using the deoxycholate buffer because of high background fluorescence. Preliminary results show that MEKC with LIF is feasible for the sensitive detection of michellamine B in serum.
