    Notes: The utilization of mixtures of methanol (C1) and glucose (C6) of different composition by the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha was studied in carbon-limited chemostat culture. For all mixtures tested a similar utilization pattern was observed: At low dilution rates both carbon sources were utilized simultaneously, but at high dilution rates the cells used glucose only and the unutilized methanol accumulated in the culture medium. When grown with C1 only, the cells exhibited a critical dilution rate Dc(C1) of 0.19 h-1, but when C1-C6 mixtures were used as the carbon and energy substrate, the yeast was able to completely utilize C1 at dilution rates considerably higher than Dc(C1). The dilution rate at which the transition from C1-C6 growth to C6 growth occurred (Dt) was strictly dependent on the composition of the C1-C6 mixture in the feed, and Dt increased with decreasing proportions of C1 in the mixture. During mixed substrate growth the formation of biomass from the two substrates was additive. The results reported indicate that the utilization of C1-C6 mixtures and hence Dt in H. polymorpha are subject to two different regulatory regimes. When the cells were growing with C1-C6 mixtures containing more than 60% C1, the transition form C1-C6 to C6 growth was most probably influenced by the maximum C1 oxidizing capacity of the cells, whereas for growth with mixtures containing less than 40% C1, a growth rate of 0.28-0.30 h-1 seemed to be the limiting barrier for the simultaneous utilization of the components of the binary carbon and energy substrate mixture.

    Notes: Conditions for high-cell-density fermentations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains producing recombinant-DNA-derived proteins were established. Strains producing human immune interferon (IFN-γ) from the constitutive PGK promoter failed to grow to high cell densities and exhibited low plasmid stability. Regulated expression of IFN-γ was obtained in similar strains by employing a hybrid yeast GPD promoter that was subject to carbon source regulation due to the presence of regulatory DNA sequences from the yeast GAL 1,10 intergenic region. IFN-γ expression programmed by this vector was low during growth on glucose and was induced by galactose. Previously defined fermentation conditions employing glucose as a carbon source were applied to this strain, resulting in high ceil densities with higher plasmid stability. Various methods of galactose induction of IFN-γ expression in high-cell-density fermentations were investigated. Optimal conditions resulted in a 2000-fold induction and production of 2 g IFN-γ/L fermentation culture.

    Notes: A high surface area hollow fiber reactor was developed for mammalian cell culture. The reactor employs an interfiber gel matrix of agar or collagen for cell support. A model was developed to predict cell density as a function of fiber spacing. Optimum spacings are calculated for two sizes of Celgard hollow fibers. Ehrlich Ascites Tumor (EAT) cells were grown to an estimated density of 1.1 × 108 viable cells/mL in the extracapillary space - corresponding to an overall reactor density of 7 × 107 cells/mL. On the basis of available kinetic and diffusivity data, the model predicts that lactate accumulation may limit cell growth in the early stage of medium utilization, while oxygen delivery becomes limiting at later stages.

    Notes: A kinetic model of ethanol fermentation conducted under a variety of conditions in a continuous four-stage reactor is proposed. The expressions for specific growth and product formation rates are: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \mu = \mu _0 {\rm exp( - }k_1 P){\rm (1 - }X/X_1) \\ \nu _P = \nu _0 {\rm exp( - }k_2 P){\rm (1 - }X/X_2) \\ $$\end{document} Parameters were identified by nonlinear programming and shown to fit data correctly for steady states of seven different experiments. The product inhibition constants were of 27 and 84 g/L, respectively. Secondary inhibitions were represented by the linear biomass term. The proposed model gave a better description of phenomena than one which only took ethanol inhibition into account. The same model also fitted batch fermentation data, with only some parameters altering significantly. The use of this model for on-line purposes is discussed.

    Notes: In order to better understand the high plasmid stability in immobilized recombinant E. coli cells, the effects of dilution rate on the pTG201 plasmid stability, the copy number, and the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (encoded by XyIE gene) production were, at first, studied in free E. coli W3101 continuous cultures in minimal media. It was found that decreasing specific growth rate increased the plasmid copy number and the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity but the stability decreased. In continuous culture with immobilized cells, an increase was shown in plasmid copy number and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity probably due to the distribution of growth in the gel beads. Besides mechanical properties of gel beads which may allow limited cell divisions, the increase in plasmid copy number is involved in enhanced plasmid stability in immobilized cells. In the same way, an experiment conducted in LB medium dealing with competition between pTG201-free and pTG201-containing E. coli B cells was described. It was shown that the competition was not more pronounced in gel bead compared to a free system. The effects of nutritional limitations on pTG201 plasmid stability and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity during chemostat cultivations in free and immobilized E. coli B cells were also investigated. It was found that immobilization of cells increased the stability of pTG201 even under glucose, nitrogen, or phosphate limited cultures. However in the case of magnesium depleted culture, pTG201 was shown to be relatively instable and a decrease in viable cell number during the immobilized continuous culture was observed. By contrast to the free system, the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity increased in immobilized cells under all culture conditions used.

    Notes: The saccharification of the polysaccharides of barley, oat, and wheat straws and Solka Floc was studied using the extracellular enzyme system synthesized by mutant strain NTG III/6 of the fungus Penicillium pinophilum 87160iii. The enzymes obtained in cultures containing Solka Floc or barley straw as the carbon source were compared. Solka Floc at 10% (w/v) concentration was hydrolyzed to the extent of 70% in 72 h at 50°C using a reaction mixture containing 7 filter paper units/mL of cellulase induced on Solka Floc, but hydrolysis was increased to 90% when the enzyme induced on barley straw was used. Under the same conditions, the polysaccharides in barley, oat, and wheat straws were hydrolyzed, respectively, in 72 h, to the extent of 42-48%, 62%, and 52%, but hydrolysis was increased to 93%, 100%, and 92%, respectively, after treatment of the substrates with alkaline-H2O2 reagent at room temperature.

    Notes: The disruption of native and recombinant strains of Escherichia coli was studied using a high-pressure homogenizer (Microfluidizer). The cells were grown in both batch and continuous fermentations. Cell suspensions ranging from 4 to 175 g dry wt/L were investigated at disruption pressures ranging from 30-95 MPa and at up to five passes. For both types of cells, the fraction of cells disrupted was dependent on the growth rate and concentration of the cells, the disruption pressure, and the number of passes through the disrupter. A model is presented that correlates the fractional disruption with these operating variables. The recombinant strain disrupted more readily than the native strain; 95 to 98% disruption of the former was achieved in two to three passes at a pressure of 95 MPa.

    Notes: An algorithm is presented for detecting the appearance of contaminants during batch or fed-batch fermentations, using only presently available on-line measurements. Its adaptive nature enables it to rely on almost no prior knowledge of the real process. The necessary on-line measurements are total biomass and its production rate; it is also shown how a physical variable such as oxygen uptake can be used alone instead. The algorithm's properties are studied theoretically and through simulations. These were confirmed by on-line experimental results, obtained with a Yeast culture, both pure and contaminated by a Bacteria. The algorithm does not detect contaminants when none are there, and it also provides a convergent estimate of a pure culture's specific growth rate. Contaminated cultures are recognized by the algorithm, and this detection can be made more or less conservative. After detection, the various estimates may diverge, due to general observability difficulties, though this divergence can itself be monitored. Moreover, the algorithm is easy to tune and its qualitative behavior is quite insensitive to its adjustable parameters. A practical criterion and scheme for implementation are proposed. The generality of the approach, which far exceeds the experimental system used, is finally discussed.

    Notes: Ultrathin-layer sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis in combination with silver staining is a highly sensitive and rapid method for molecular size analysis of urinary proteins. First results are achieved after 4 h (electrophoretic run, 100 min, followed by Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining, 2 h). After additional silver staining, including a recycling step, the results are ready for evaluation within 7 h. Urine samples do not need to be concentrated. Within a single gel, 25-27 samples can be run side by side under identical conditions and thus compared without ambiguity. By coelectrophoresis of pure proteins and immunological analysis 13 urinary proteins could be identified and for 7 of them the detection limits were determined. Glomerular protein patterns in samples of urine with a protein concentration in the normal range are compared with the concentration of albumin and transferrin measured by a sensitive enzyme immunoassay. Typical renal and extrarenal protein patterns are shown.
