    Notes: Reliable dynamic descriptions of cellular growth are important for many practical applications including bioreactor design and control. A chemically structured growth model of Escherichia coli has been formulated and herein we focus on finding the essential dynamic order of the metabolic part of this model. Standard linear analysis is applied and the main finding is that the model contains three essential modes of motion over the time scale of growth. The doubling time is successfully predicted from an unstable growth motion and the metabolite composition of the three modes of motion suggests that only a three pool metabolic model is necessary. The three pools correspond to important groups of macromolecules; protein, nucleic acids and cell wall constituents.

    Notes: A photobioreactor system has been designed, constructed and implemented to achieve high photosynthetic rates in high-density photoautotrophic algal cell suspensions. This unit is designed for efficient oxygen and biomass production rates, and it also can be used for the production of secreted products. A fiber-optic based optical transmission system that is coupled to an internal light distribution system illuminates the culture volume uniformly, at light intensities of 1.7 mW/cm2 over a specific surface area of 3.2 cm2/cm3. Uniform light distribution is achieved throughout the reactor without interfering with the flow pattern required to keep the cells in suspension. An on-line ultrafiltration unit exchanges spent with fresh medium, and its use results in very high cell densities, up to 109 cells/mL [3% (w/v)] for eukaryotic green alga chlorella vulgaris. DNA histograms obtained form flow cytometric analysis reveal that on-line ultrafiltration influences the growth pattern. Prior to ultrafiltration the cells seem to have at a particular point in the cell cycle where they contain multiple chromosomal equivalents. Following ultrafiltration, these cells divide, and the new cells are committed to division so that cell growth resumes. The Prototype photobioreactor system was operated both in batch and in continuous mode for over 2 months. The measured oxygen production rate of 4-6 mmol/L culture h under continuous operation is consistent with the predicted performance of the unit for the provided light intensity.

    Notes: Secreting and nonsecreting hybridoma populations derived from the murine hybridoma cell line 167.4G5.3 were each grown in batch culture in low serum and serum-free media. Under serum-free conditions, a secreting population gained on a predominantly nonsecreting population and competed with the existing antibody-deficient cells effectively. It was found that this competition was sensitive to state of inoculum and medium composition. We conclude that the competition between a secreting and nonsecreting, or more generally, a producing and nonproducing, population is important; the appearance of the latter may not be a significant setback in terms of expected product titer.

    Notes: The influence of ammonia and lactate on cell growth, metabolic, and antibody production rates was investigated for murine hybridoma cell line 163.4G5.3 during batch culture. The specific growth rate was reduced by one-half in the presence of an initial ammonia concentration of 4 mM. Increasing ammonia levels accelerated glucose and glutamine consumption, decreased ammonia yield from glutamine, and increased alanine yield from glutamine. Although the amount of antibody produced decreased with increasing ammonia concentration, the specific antibody productivity remained relatively constant around a value of 0.22 pg/cell-h. The specific growth rate was reduced by one-half at an initial lactate concentration of 55 mM. Although specific glucose and glutamine uptake rates were increased at high lacatate concentration, they showed a decrease after making corrections for medium osmolarity. The yield coefficient of lactate from glucose decreased at high lactate concentrations. A similar decrease was observed for the ammonia yield coefficient from glutamine. At elevated lactate concentrations, specific antibody productivities increased, possibly due to the increase in medium osmolarity. The specific oxygen uptake rate was insensitive to ammonia and lactate concentrations. Addition of ammonia and lactate increased the calculated metabolic energy production of the cells. At high ammonia and lactate, the contribution of glycolysis to total energy production increased. Decreasing external pH and increasing ammonia concentrations caused cytoplasmic acidification. Effect of lactate on intracellular pH was insignificant, whereas increasing osmolarity caused cytoplasmic alkalinization.

    Notes: Sustained oscillations in cell concentration, average per cell DNA content, and average cell size were found in continuous photoautotrophic cultures of Chlorella vulgaris at low dilution rates (0.1/day). The period of oscillation was approximately 10 days. DNA histograms determined by flow cytometry exhibited reproducible pattern through consecutive oscillations. At the maximum cell concentration during an oscillation, the DNA histograms showed that the majority of the cells were not replicating their chromosomes, and most of the culture was comprised of single cells in G0/G1 phase. The cells then initiated DNA replication; however, because of the long generation time, the cell concentration decreased to a minimum, and at the same time the average per cell DNA content reached its maximum value. At this point the cells began to divide, and the cell concentration increased until it reached its maximum value at the beginning of the next oscillation. Calculations based on the supplied nutrients and comparison to biomass generation showed that the oscillatory behavior in continuous photoautotrophic cultures of C. vulgaris was not due to nutrient limitation, but most likely was due to the secretion of compounds that alter cell cycle kinetics. The oscillatory behavior disappeared when the dilution rate was increased to 0.3/day and the culture reached a stable steady state.

    Notes: A split-stream flow-injection analysis system is described for simultaneous determination of glucose and L-glutamine in serum-free hybridoma bioprocesses media. Amperometric measurement of glucose is based on anodic oxidation of hydrogen peroxide produced by immobilized glucose oxidase within a triple layer membrane of an integrated flow-through glucose-selective biosensor. Determination of L-glutamine is based on quantitating ammonium ions produced in a flow-through enzymes reactor containing immobilized glutaminase enzyme, and subsequent downstream potentiometric detection of these ions by a nonacting-based ion-selective polymer membrane electrode. Endogenous potassium and ammonium ion interference in the L-glutamine determination are eliminated by using a novel in-line tubular cation-exchange membrane unit to exchange these interferent species for cations undetectable by the membrane electrode. The first generation split-steam flow-injections system can assay 12 samples/h using direct injections of 50 μL of media samples, with linear responses to glucose in the range of 0.03 to 30mM, and log-linear response to L-glutamine from 0.1 to 10 mM. © 1993 Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An immunoglobulin G (IgG2b) producing hybridoma cell line (S3H5/γ2bA2) was cloned and subcloned. Twenty subclones were grown in parallel while being adapted in a stepwise fashion to serum-free medium. Following adaptation to serum-free medium, it was found that 16 of the 20 subclones remained at a relatively constant proportion of nonproducing cells. Three of the remaining subclones transiently deviated from this balance but eventually returned toward this population composition. One subclone continued to lose productivity. A population balance was reached at approximately 8% of the population being nonproducers. The loss of antibody productivity was thus highly reproducible. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Stoichiometrically based flux balance models provide a method to quantify the metabolic pathway fluxes within a living cell. Predictions of flux balance models are expected to have applications in pathway engineering as well as in bioprocess design and control. These models utilize optimality principles applied to metabolic pathway stoichiometry along with the metabolic requirements for growth to determine the flux distribution in a metabolic network. A flux balance model has been developed for Escherichia coli W3110 using five experimentally determined strain-specific parameters. In this report, we determine the sensitivity of the predictions of the flux balance model to these five strain-specific parameters. Model predictions are shown to be sensitive to the two parameters describing metabolic capacity, while they are relatively insensitive to the three parameters that describe the metabolic requirements for growth. Thus, when stoichiometrically based models are formulated for additional strains one needs to measure the metabolic capacity (maximum rates of nutrient and oxygen utilization) accurately. Determination of metabolic capacity from batch experiments is relatively easy to perform. On the other hand, the harder to determine maintenance parameters need not be as accurately determined. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Dynamic reaction diffusion models were used to analyze the consequences of aggregation for syntrophic reactions in methanogenic ecosystems. Flocs from a whey digestor were used to measure all model parameters under the in situ conditions of a particular defined biological system. Fermentation simulations without adjustable parameters could precisely predict the kinetics of H2 gas production of digestor flocs during syntrophic methanogenesis from ethanol. The results demonstrated a kinetic compartmentalization of H2 metabolism inside the flocs. The interspecies electron transfer reaction was mildly diffusion controlled. The H2 gas profiles across the flocs showed high H 2 concentrations inside the flocs at any time. Simulations of the syntrophic metabolism at low substrate concentrations such as in digestors or sediments showed that it is impossible to achieve high H2 gas turnovers at simultaneously low steady-state H2 concentrations. This showed a mechanistic contradiction in the concept of postulated low H2 microenvironments for the anaerobic digestion process. The results of the computer experiments support the conclusion that syntrophic H2 production may only be a side reaction of H2 independent interspecies electron transfer in methanogenic ecosystems.

    Notes: Loss of monoclonal antibody (MAb) productivity in long-term, free-suspended cell culture is often attributed to the appearance of a nonproducing population of hybridoma cell (NP) in the culture which has a growth advantage over the producing population (P). However, when an NP appears in long-term culture of entrapped cells, it may not be able to take over the whole culture in a short period of time due to the limited growth of the entrapped cells. In order to examine the hypothesis that entrapped cells can have improved stability of MAb productivity due to limited cell growth, free-suspended cell culture and calcium alginate-entrapped cell culture with inocula consisting of a P and an NP were compared with regard to stability of MAb productivity in a repeated fed-batch culture. In free-suspended cell culture, the NP appeared to take over the whole culture within three batches, and thereby MAb production completely disappeared. In entrapped cell culture, an NP appeared to outgrow the P rapidly only during an exponential growth phase, resulting in a significant decrease in specific MAb productivity, qMAb, from 11.58 μg/106 cell/day to 2.76 μg/106 cell/day. However, when the cell growth was limited in entrapped cell culture, the NP no longer outgrew the P rapidly, as indicated by the stable value of qMAb. In addition, when the cells recovered from the alginate beads by citrate buffer treatment were subcultured in free-suspended cell culture, MAb production rapidly deteriorated and completely disappeared within two batches. Thus, the P present at a small fraction of viable cell concentration in the beginning of the free-suspended cell culture, which were previously entrapped in alginate beads, seemed to be outgrown rapidly by the NP. Taken together, the results obtained from these experiments support the hypothesis that the limited cell growth in entrapped cell culture, which keeps an NP from taking over the whole culture, is responsible, in part, for the improved stability of MAb productivity. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
