    Notes: Abstract: Escherichia coli was grown in carbon- and energy source-limited fed batch cultures to study the effect of osmotic stress and different feed rates on the growth kinetics. An unstructured model based on the linear equation for substrate consumption provided an adequate description of the bacterial growth during the first phase of biomass production (20 h), except for cultures exposed to osmotic stress by the addition of 0.5 M NaCl. The addition of salt to the culture media had a large effect on the energetics, that could not simply be described in terms of an increased maintenance requirement. In the later phase of growth, an extensive decline in viability for all cultures was observed. Coincidentally, the specific sugar uptake rate approached a lower limit. It is concluded that the total obtainable biomass in a fed batch culture is strongly affected by the magnitudes of the substrate feed rate and the ionic strength of the culture medium.

    Notes: Summary A technique for maintaining constant activity during continuous production with immobilized, non-growing cells has been developed. A single stage continuous system with alginate immobilized Clostridium acetobutylicum, was mainly fed with a glucose medium that supported fermentation of acetone-butanol but did not permit microbial growth. The inactivation that occured during these conditions was prevented by pulse-wise addition of nutrients to the reactor. Using this technique the ratio of biomass to butanol was reduced to 2% (w/w) compared to 34% in a traditional batch culture. At steady state conditions butanol was the major end product with a yield coefficient of 0.20 (g/g glucose). The productivity of butanol was 16.8 g/l·day during these conditions. In a corresponding system with immobilized growing cells the ratio of biomass to butanol was 52–76% and the formation of butyric and acetic acid increased thereby reducing the yield coefficient for butanol to 0.11 (g/g). With the intermittent nutrient dosing technique constant activity from immobilized non-growing cells has been achieved for 8 weeks.

    Notes: Summary Preparations of living Pseudomonas denitrificans cells immobilized in alginate gel were used in the denitrification of water. In the presence of an exogenous carbon source the entrapped microorganisms reduced nitrate and nitrite to gaseous products and to achieve complete reduction, carbon to nitrogen ratios of over two were required. The effects on denitrification of particle size and the number of bacteria in the gel were investigated. Apparent Km values for nitrate and nitrite reduction were calculated for free and immobilized cells. When the immobilized cells were incubated in nutrient media, an increase in reduction rate was observed and this was shown to be caused by the growth of cells within the gel particles. Immobilized P. denitrificans cells retained 75% of their initial nitrate reduction capacity after 21 days of storage at +4°C. The operational stability of the alginate-immobilized cells was studied both in batch and in a column which was operated continuously. A column (45 g of alginate-cell fibers in 80 ml) denitrified a high nitrate drinking water (100 mg NO3/l) with a rate of 300 ml of nitrate and nitrite free water/day/g of gel. The half life for nitrate reduction was estimated to be 30 days.
