    Notes: The optimal production of the fructan biopolymer levan by the bacterium Erwinia herbicola was investigated, including variations in nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous sources, pH, incubation time, culture yields up to 19% by weight produced based on conversion of sucrose as the carbon source when grown in a continuous culture system and processed by tangential flow filtration. Product identity was confirmed with gas chromatography (GC) and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and low-angle laser light scattering (LALLS) determination of the molecular weight of the product showed a significant difference in molecular weight values dependent on the method of analysis. Analysis by GPC resulted in molecular weight one order of magnitude lower than LALLS independent of sample, underscoring the unusual nature of this biopolymer.

    Notes: The isolation of chitosan from a fungal source offers the potential of a product with controlled physicochemical properties not obtainable by the commercial chemical conversion of crustacean chitin. A variety of culture and processing protocols using Mucor rouxii were studied for their effects on biomass yield and chitosan molecular weight. Weight-averaged molecular weight determined by gel permeation chromotography ranged from 2.0 × 105 to approximately 1.4 × 106 daltons. The chitosan yield ranged from 5% to 10% of total biomass dry weight and from 30% to 40% of the cell wall. Of the culture parameters studied, length of incubation and medium composition effected biomass production and molecular weight. Modification of the processing protocol, including the type and strength of acid, and cell wall disruption in acid prior to refluxing were used to optimize the efficiency of chitosan extraction.The degree of deacetylation of fungal and commercial chitosans was compared using infrared spectrometry, titration, and first derivative of UV absorbance spectrometry. The chitosan obtained directly from the fungal cell wall had a higher degree of deacetylation than commercial chitosan from the chemical conversion process.

    Description: The successful landing of human beings on Mars and the establishment of a permanent outpost there will require an understanding of the Martian environment by the engineers. A key feature of the Martian environment is the nearly ubiquitous presence of sand and dust. The process which the engineering community will undertake to determine the sensitivities of their designs to the current level of knowledge about Mars sand and dust is emphasized. The interaction of the engineering community with the space exploration initiative (SEI) mission planners and management is described.

    Description: NASA environmental models are discussed with particular attention given to the Mars Global Reference Atmospheric Model (Mars-GRAM) and the Mars Terrain simulator. The Mars-GRAM model takes into account seasonal, diurnal, and surface topography and dust storm effects upon the atmosphere. It is also capable of simulating appropriate random density perturbations along any trajectory path through the atmosphere. The Mars Terrain Simulator is a software program that builds pseudo-Martian terrains by layering the effects of geological processes upon one another. Output pictures of the constructed surfaces can be viewed from any vantage point under any illumination conditions. Attention is also given to the document 'Environment of Mars, 1988' in which scientific models of the Martian atmosphere and Martian surface are presented.
