    Notes: If an analytical instrument or instrumental method gives a response matrix when analyzing a pure analyte, the instrument or instrumental method is called a second-order method. Second-order methods that generate a response matrix for a pure analyte of rank one are called rank-one second-order methods. If the response matrix of a pure analyte is not rank one, essentially two cases exist: medium rank (between two and five) and high rank (greater than five). Subsequently, medium- and high-rank second-order calibration tries to use medium- and high-rank second-order methods to analyze for analytes of interest in a mixture. A particular advantage of second-order methods is the ability to analyze for analytes of interest in a mixture which contains unknown interferences. Keeping this advantage is the challenge on moving away from rank-one second-order calibration methods. In this paper a medium-rank second-order calibration method is proposed based on least-squares restricted Tucker models. With this method the second-order advantage is retained.

    Notes: This paper is intended to convey the essence of Taguchi's design approach to chemists and others with an interest in chemometrics. Although most Taguchi-style applications worldwide have been in electronics and in elaborately transformed manufactures, examples are increasingly found in chemical processes and in the food industry.Foremost among Taguchi's contributions is the concept of designing processes and products to be robust to the uncontrollable environmental influences which they experience during their operation or lifetime. This concept is explained with a worked example.

    Notes: In order to improve the storage and CPU time in the numerical analysis of large two-dimensional (hyphenated, second-order) infrared spectra, a data-preprocessing technique (compression) is presented which is based on B-splines. B-splines have been chosen as the compression method since they are wellsuited to model smooth curves. There are two primary goals of compression: a reduction of file size and a reduction of computation when analyzing the compressed representation. The compressed representation of the spectra is used as a substitute for the original representation. For the particular example used here, approximately 0.16 bit per data element was required for the compressed representation in contrast with 16 bits per data element in the uncompressed representation. The compressed representation was further analysed using principal component analysis and compared with a similar analysis on the original data set. The results shows that the principal compotent model of the compressed representation is directly comparable with the principal component model of the original data.

    Notes: Rank annihilation factor analysis (RAFA) is a method for multicomponent calibration using two data matrices simultaneously, one for the unknown and one for the calibration sample. In its most general form, the generalized rank annihilation method (GRAM), an eigenvalue problem has to be solved. In this second paper expressions are derived for predicting the bias and variance in the eigenvalues of GRAM. These expressions are built on the analogies between a reformulation of the eigenvalue problem and the prediction equations of univariate and multivariate calibration. The error analysis will also be performed for Lorber's formulation of RAFA. It will be demonstrated that, depending on the size of the eigenvalue, large differences in performance must be expected. A bias correction technique is proposed that effectively eliminates the bias if the error in the bias estimate is not too large. The derived expressions are evaluated by Monte Carlo simulations. It is shown that the predictions are satisfactory up to the limit of detection. The results are not sensitive to an incorrect choice of the dimension of the factor space.

    Notes: A non-linear least squares iterative refinement has been implemented which shows high performance on a multiple-peak spectrum including baseline or background. Constraints as well as links within a range are introduced to drive the mathematical optimization: each peak parameter (i.e. height, position, Gaussian/Lorentzian mixing ratio and HWHM on both left and right sides) has assigned to it an allowed range of variation and can be strained to be correlated with other parameters belonging either to the same peak (symmetrical peaks) or to other peaks (doublets, triplets, etc.). Peak shapes typical of XP spectra are used and applications in the field of XPS are discussed. Through emulated curves with Poisson distributed noise, the accuracy and precision of back-calculated (refined) parameters have been estimated. Moreover, a confidence level calculated from X2 and degrees of freedom has been suggested to check the overall fitting of experimental curves where the signal-to-noise ratio is a priori unknown. An application to real C ls XP spectra is described as an example and a list of suggestions is given to match operator requirements. Finally, features of NLLSRC are discussed with respect to other approaches.

    Notes: New theoretical molecular indices are defined. They contain information about the whole molecular structure in terms of size, shape, symmetry and atom distribution. These indices are calcualted from the (x, y, z) co-ordinates of a molecule within different weighting schemes in a straightforward manner and represent a very general approach to describe molecules, molecular fragments, macromolecules and molecular conformations in a unitary conceptual framework. Their interpretability is quite evident and is defined by the same mathematical properties as the algorithm used for their calculation. Examples on the total surface area, toxicity of PCDD and PCDF and reaction rate of catalysed reactions show a high modelling power of these indices.

    Notes: Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ATR-FTIR) has been used to determine the amount of styrene-butadiene latex on the surface of coated papers and to predict the composition of the polymer. Spectrum recording was performed on the sample in its usual form without any modification.For quantitative analysis, partial least squares (PLS) regression, principal component regression (PCR) and multi-linear regression (MLR) were used to calculate models for prediction. The best result is obtained with PLS.We analysed two series of paper samples. The first analysis concerns the measurement of the quantity of latex of a constant quality on the coating surface. For 15 samples the concentration varied between 5 and 25 parts (grams per 100g of mineral pigments). We compared the predictive results at various resolutions. We obtained a relative error of 0.15 parts in latex at 4 cm-1 resolution. The second analysis concerns the measurement of the styrene/butadiene ratio in various types of latex. We obtained a relative error of 0.156 parts for styrene determination and 0.161 parts for butadiene determination.

    Notes: Finding methods for the optimization of weights in feedforward neural networks has become an ongoing developmental process in connectionist research. The current focus on finding new methods for the optimization of weights is mostly the result of the slow and unreliable convergence properties of the gradient descent optimization used in the original back-propagation algorithm. More accurate and computationally expensive second-order gradient methods have displaced earlier first-order gradient optimization of the network connection weights. The global, extended Kalman filter is among the most accurate and computationally expensive of these second-order weight optimization methods. The iterative, second-order nature of the filter results in a large number of calculations for each sweep of the training set. This can increase the training time dramatically when training is conducted with data sets that contain large numbers of training patterns. In this paper an adaptive variant of the global, extended Kalman filter that exhibits substantially improved convergence properties is presented and discussed. The adaptive mechanism permits more rapid convergence of network training by identifying data that contain redundant information and avoiding calculations based on this redundant information.

    Notes: An inverse mapping method called PCB (principal component backing), in which the point representing an unknown sample from a low-dimensional principal component subspace is back-projected to the high-dimensional original feature space, is proposed. Two sorts of boundary conditions, non-linear inverse mapping and linear inverse mapping, are used to obtain an accurate solution in the PCB method. The method is applied to the material design of high-Tc superconductors, predicting the composition and process conditions for the synthesis of F-doped Bi-based materials. Samples in the ‘optimal’ region with the highest Tc of the Bi-based ceramics have been predicted.

    Notes: A fast PLS regression algorithm dealing with large data matrices with many variables (K) and fewer objects (N) is presented For such data matrices the classical algorithm is computer-intensive and memory-demanding. Recently, Lindgren et al. (J. Chemometrics, 7, 45-49 (1993)) developed a quick and efficient kernel algorithm for the case with many objects and few variables. The present paper is focused on the opposite case, i.e. many variables and fewer objects. A kernel algorithm is presented based on eigenvectors to the ‘kernel’ matrix XX TYYT, which is a square, non-symmetric matrix of size N × N, where N is the number of objects. Using the kernel matrix and the association matrices XXT (N × N) and YYT (N × N), it is possible to calculate all score and loading vectors and hence conduct a complete PLS regression including diagnostics such as R2. This is done without returning to the original data matrices X and Y. The algorithm is presented in equation form, with proofs of some new properties and as MATLAB code.

    Notes: Lindgren et al. (J. Chemometrics, 7, 45-49 (1993)) published a so-called kernel algorithm for PLS regression of Y against X when the number of objects is very large. The algorithm is based solely on deflation of the cross-product matrices XTX, YTY and XTY. The algorithm is now described in a shorter and more transparent way and compared with a similar algorithm for the singular value decomposition of XTY.

    Notes: In this paper we discuss the practical implementation of the generalized rank annihilation method (GRAM). The practical implementation comes down to developing a computer program where two critical steps can be distinguished: the construction of the factor space and the oblique rotation of the factors. The construction of the factor space is a least-squares (LS) problem solved by singular value decomposition (SVD), whereas the rotation of the factors is brought about by solving an eigenvalue problem. In the past several formulations for GRAM have been published. The differences essentially come down to solving either a standard eigenvalue problem or a generalized eigenvalue problem. The first objective of this paper is to discuss the numerical stability of the algorithms resulting from these formulations. It is found that the generalized eigenvalue problem is only to be preferred if the construction of the factor space is not performed with maximum precision. This is demonstrated for the case where the dominant factors are calculated by the non-linear iterative partial least-squares (NIPALS) algorithm. Several performance measures are proposed to investigate the numerical accuracy of the computed solution. The previously derived bias and variance are proposed to estimate the number of physically significant digits in the computed solution. The second objective of this paper is to discuss the relevance of theoretical considerations for application of GRAM in the presence of model errors.

    Notes: A modified PLS algorithm is introduced with the goal of achieving improved prediction ability. The method, denoted IVS-PLS, is based on dimension-wise selective reweighting of single elements in the PLS weight vector w. Cross-validation, a criterion for the estimation of predictive quality, is used for guiding the selection procedure in the modelling stage. A threshold that controls the size of the selected values in w is put inside a cross-validation loop. This loop is repeated for each dimension and the results are interpreted graphically. The manipulation of w leads to rotation of the classical PLS solution. The results of IVS-PLS are different from simply selecting X-variables prior to modelling. The theory is explained and the algorithm is demonstrated for a simulated data set with 200 variables and 40 objects, representing a typical spectral calibration situation with four analytes. Improvements of up to 70% in external PRESS over the classical PLS algorithm are shown to be possible.

    Notes: In a variety of spectroscopic techniques the fundamental problem exists of determination of the individual spectral components, intrinsically overlapped in the measured spectrum. This is a typical deconvolution problem and several methods and techniques have been proposed for its solution in the technical literature, but suggestions of new approaches are still of interest. A new deconvolution procedure is presented here based on the use of the conjugate gradient minimization algorithm with the addition of sutiable constraints directly obtained by the application to the measured spectrum of the second-derivative operator or more sophisticated resolution enhancement procedures. Since in the examined case deconvolution essentially requires the minimization of a non-convex function, the use of such constraints is extremely important to supply suitable input parameters to the conjugate gradient algorithm to avoid obtaining minimum points which have no physical meaning. In our case each spectral compoent used for deconvolution has been assumed to have a Gaussian analytical definition fully identified by three parameters (amplitude, central frequency, spectral bandwidth), so that the input values required to start the deconvolution process are the number M of Gaussian components and 3M suitable initial approximations of the parameters above. It is shown that all this information can be obtained from the measured data. The deconvolution procedure was implemented by a FORTRAN Microsoft Version 5.1 program and experimental results relative to spectroscopic data obtained by FT-IR analysis of human serum albumin are reported. The results are discussed and compared with data obtained by the use of other techniques.

    Notes: Genetic algorithms have been proved to be a very efficient method in the feature selection problem. However, as for every other method, if the validation of the results is performed in an incomplete way, erroneous conclusions can be drawn. In this paper a development of a previous genetic algorithm is presented so that a full validation of the results can be obtained. Furthermore, this algorithm has been shown to perform very well also as an outlier detector, allowing easy identification of the presence of outliers even in cases where the ‘classical’ techniques fail.

    Notes: A graphical method of assessing differences between sets of rankings based on cumulative ranks is developed. The method can be used to identify rankings that differ over all or just part of the range of objects ranked. The method is applied to an example of sensory evaluation of green peas in which ten assessors scored six attributes on each of 60 samples.

    Notes: This work addresses the classification of high-dimensional time-dependent pyrolysis mass spectra of biological samples. The aim was the detection and classification of biological agents, and the developed approach resembles mixture analysis. The data were projected on to a low-dimensional subspace using singular value decomposition. Then a convex cone was formed on this subspace, showing as its corners physically meaningful components of the sample. This technique enabled separation of a biological material signal largely independent of the absolute amount of sample. The detection of the presence of any biological material could be accomplished based on the convex cone alone, without other reference to the mass spectra. Automated clustering of samples was successfully carried out using a minimal spanning tree.

    Notes: Multivariate images are very large data structures and any type of regression for their analysis is very computer-intensive. Kernel-based partial least squares (PLS) regression, presented in an earlier paper, makes the calculation phase more rapid and less demanding in computer memory. The present paper is a direct continuation of the first paper. In this study the kernel PLS algorithm is extended to include cross-validation for determination of the optimal model dimensionality. To show the applicability of the kernel algorithm, two examples from multivariate image analysis are used. The first example is an image from an airborne scanner of size 9 × 512 × 512. It consists of nine images which are regressed against a constructed dependent image to test the accuracy of the kernel algorithm when used on large data structures. The second example is a satellite image of size 7 × 512 × 512. Several different regression models are presented together with a comparison of their predictive capabilities. The regression models are also used as examples for showing the use of cross-validation.

    Notes: Rank annihilation factor analysis (RAFA) is a method for multicomponent calibration using two data matrices simultaneously, one for the unknown and one for the calibration sample. In its most general form, the generalized rank annihilation method (GRAM), an eigenvalue problem has to be solved. In this first paper different formulations of GRAM are compared and a slightly different eigenvalue problem will be derived. The eigenvectors of this specific eigenvalue problem constitute the transformation matrix that rotates the abstract factors from principal component analysis (PCA) into their physical counterparts. This reformulation of GRAM facilitates a comparison with other PCA-based methods for curve resolution and calibration. Furthermore, we will discuss two characteristics common to all formulations of GRAM, i.e. the distinct possibility of a complex and degenerate solution. It will be shown that a complex solution-contrary to degeneracy-should not arise for components present in both samples for model data.

    Notes: It is shown that the DATa ANalysis (DATAN) algorithm can be expressed in terms of rank annihilation factor analysis (RAFA). Subsequent advances in RAFA are applied to DATAN to eliminate the problems and restrictions associated with DATAN. The extension of DATAN in terms of the trilinear decomposition algorithm is discussed.

    Notes: The purpose of this short communication is to illustrate the use of conditional maximization (CM) in chemometric applications. The CM algorithm is useful in reducing the computational complexity when a high-dimensional and complicated maximization problem arises from fitting chemometric models. It can also be efficiently combined with the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for handling incomplete data, a problem that sometimes arises when only a part of the intended data can be collected. Three models from fluorescence spectroscopy are used for illustration.

    Notes: A method for selecting variables in the non-sequential direction of a two-way data matrix (e.g. wavelength in diode array HPLC) is described. Composition 1 and 2 resolvability indices are calculated according to the size of eigenvalues of uncentred data matrices as a window is moved along the sequential direction. A double-window technique is then performed where resolvability indices are calculated as a window is moved along the non-sequential direction. Some regions have higher resolvability indices and hence are more useful for resolution. Variables are ranked according to resolvability. Two simulations are analysed and it is shown that it is possible to obtain good resolution on a small subset of the original variables.

    Notes: The alternating least squares PARAFAC algorithm is a useful tool for resolving trilinear three-way data arrays. Occasionally, however, it becomes bogged down for many iterations in the vicinity of a poor quality resolution before moving on to a much superior optimum fit. We investigate this behavior in a simulation study and suggest ways of overcoming the obstacles it presents.

    Notes: This paper presents a method for identifying significant effects in fractional factorial designs. The method is based on comparing functions of the estimated effects with a scale invariant reference distribution. The method is illustrated and compared with alternative techniques on a dataset from processed cheese production. The method corresponded well to other methods (probability plotting and Bayes plot) that do not make use of error estimates. These methods were better than F-tests with few (two or four) degrees of freedom for error.

    Notes: A factor analysis algorithm that estimates the spectra of mixture components using the set of most dissimilar rows and/or columns is described and illustrated. This algorithm uses the distance as a measure of spectral similarity and is suitable for application to a variety of the bilinear matrix-formatted data types produced by hyphenated and multidimensional analytical techniqes. The algorithm requires that the data matrix contain at least one row or column that corresponds to the pure spectrum of each component to effect accurate spectral resolution. The performance of the method is illustrated using the resolution of excitation and emission spectra of up to four components from experimental fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEMs). In the case of the EEM, characteristic bands in an emission spectrum effect resolution of the excitation spectrum of the corresponding component, while characteristic bands in an excitation spectrum lead to resolution of the corresponding emission spectrum. The use of the set of most dissimilar rows and columns to evaluate the degree of overlap in the component spectra and compare the quality of row and column solutions is also described.

    Notes: An anaerobic upflow porous media biofilm reactor was designed to study the kinetics and stoichiometry of hydrogen sulfide production by the sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (ATCC 5575) as the first step for the modeling and control of formation souring (H2S) in oil field porous media. The reactor was a packed bed (50 × 5.5 cm) tubular reactor. Sea sand (140 to 375 μm) was used as the porous media. The initial indication of souring was the appearance of well-separated black spots (precipitates of iron sulfide) in the sand bed. The blackened zones expanded radially and upward through the column. New spots also appeared and expanded into the cone shapes. Lactate (substrate) was depleted and hydrogen sulfide appeared in the effluent.Analysis of the pseudo-steady state column shows that there were concentration gradients for lactate and hydrogen sulfide along the column. The results indicate that most of the lactate was consumed at the front part of the column. Measurements of SRB biomass on the solid phase (sand) and in the liquid phase indicate that the maximum concentration of SRB biomass resided at the front part of the column while the maximum in the liquid phase occurred further downstream. The stoichiometry regarding lactate consumption and hydrogen sulfide production observed in the porous media reactor was different from that in a chemostat. After analyzing the radial dispersion coefficient for the SRB in porous media and kinetics of microbial growth, it was deduced that transport phenomena dominate the souring process in our porous media reactor system. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The separation of penicillin G (Pen G) from phenylacetic acid (PAA) by use of a supported liquid membrane (SLM) system with Amberlite LA-2 dissolved in 1-decanol, supported on a microporous polypropylene membrane, was studied. The results show that the individual permeability of each component in mixture was lower than that in a single compartment system and, it suggests a strong transport competition between Pen G and PAA. The SLM system in this study proved to be a promising process for the selective separation of Pen G from PAA. The maximum separation factor was found to be 1.8 under a liquid membrane resistance controlled mechanism. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A liquid-liquid bubble column apparatus allows exposure of enzyme solutions to water-immiscible organic solvents with a known total interfacial area and welldefined time scales and flow. It allows clear distinction of the different classes of inactivation mechanism. With urease as a model enzyme, octan-2-one and butylbenzene act only through the effects of solvent molecules dissolved in the aqueous phase, giving first-order inactivation at 0.34 and 0.21 h-1, respectively. Hexane and tridecane act only through exposure to the interface. The amount of urease inactivated is proportional to the total area of interface exposed, rather than to elapsed time, and may be characterized by a rate of about 0.5 μkat m-2. This is consistent with the formation and (partial) inactivation of a complete adsorbed monolayer of protein. With butan-1-ol, both mechanisms contribute significantly to the observed inactivation. The presence of O2 increases the rate of interfacial inactivation, but not that by dissolved solvent. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Over the past 10 years, the baculovirus-insect cell system has become a powerful and versatile tool for the expression of a variety of heterologous proteins. In order to simplify separation of a cloned protein from the baculovirus-insect expression system, we have cloned a gene encoding for the protein of interest, a structural protein (VP2) of a strain (E/DEL) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), with a metal ion binding site (His)5 at its C-terminus. This chimeric protein (VP2H) has been expressed and one-step affinity purified with immobilized metal ions (Ni+2). With antigen capture-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (AC-ELISA), we determined that the conformation of this chimeric protein was no different from the recombinant wild-type VP2 protein. However, the two proteins (VP2 and VP2H) can be distinguished and resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and detected immunologically following Western blotting. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of dilution rate and feed solids concentration on the bacterial leaching of a pyrite/arsenopyrite ore concentrate was studied. A mathematical model was developed for the process based on the steady-state data collected over the range of dilution rates (20 to 110 h) and feed solids concentrations (6 to 18% w/v) studied. A modified Monod model with inhibition by arsenic was used to model bacterial ferrous ion oxidation rates. The model assumes that (i) pyrite and arsenopyrite leaching occurs solely by the action of ferric iron produced from the bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron and (ii) bacterial growth rates are proportional to ferrous ion oxidation rate. The equilibrium among the various ionic species present in the leach solution that are likely to have a significant effect on the bioleach process were included in the model. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of solvent on the activity of mushroom tyrosinase toward three substrates was studied at a constant water activity of either 0.74 or 0.86. No simple correlation was observed between enzyme activity and log P, but partition coefficients of substrate (Ps) and product (Pp) gave systematic relations with enzyme activity. When initial reaction rates were considered, there was a bellshaped relationship between enzyme activity and Ps with an optimal Ps for each substrate. This can be explained by assuming that the solvent affected the enzyme activity primarily by affecting the substrate concentration in the aqueous layer around the catalyst where the enzymic reaction occurs. When long-term reaction rates were considered, a high Pp/Ps ratio was consistent with preservation of enzyme activity. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A model that describes induction of protein synthesis from lac-based promoters has been developed and incorporated into the single-cell model of Escherichia coli with transcriptional and translational modifications. Unlike previous models of lac-based promoters, this model allows a priori prediction of the intracellular parameters controlling transcription from lac-based promoters with only the extracellular levels of substrate and inducer as inputs. Because of the structural detail of the model, it is possible to simulate different genetic constructions for comparison, such as Laclq strains versus wild-type cells, or including lacl on a multicopy plasmid. Expression from lac to tac promoters is predicted to yield 5% and 30% of the total cellular protein, respectively, with a pBR322-type plasmid. The model predicts the experimental observation that the Laclq strain is not as fully induced as the wild-type strains, even at higher inducer concentrations. Additionally, the model predicts the right order of magnitude of protein production from lac and tac promoters when mechanisms for attenuation of transcription at lower translational efficiency are considered. Finally, the model predicts that for high copy number systems ribosomes become limiting in the synthesis of plasmid-encoded proteins. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The nature and temporal development of ammonia inhbition were investigated in batch, fed-batch, and continuous cultures. Significant inhibition was observed when cells were inoculated in serum-containing or chemically defined medium containing more than 2 mM of ammonia. In contrast, no inhibition was observed at greater than 10 mM when the ammonia concentration was gradually increased over the span of a batch culture by feeding ammonium chloride. Strong growth inhibition was observed after each of five step changes (2.8 → 3.7 → 4.0 → 4.9 → 7.7 → 13.5 mM) in continuous culture. Following a period of adaptation at each higher value, the viable cell density stabilized at a new lower value. The lowering in viable cell density was caused by an increase in specific death rate and a decreased cell yield on glucose, glutamine, and oxygen. Increased ammonia concentration had little or no effect on the steady-state specific growth kinetics or specific antibody productivity. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Cephalosporin C was extracted from diluted or whole broth by PEG/salt aqueous two-phase systems. Parameters such as PEG molecular weight, salt type, pH, and salt concentration were investigated for finding a suitable extraction system. In PEG 600/ammonium sulfate or phosphate systems, Kc (partition coefficienct of cephalosporin C) was observed to be larger than 1, with Kd (partition coefficient of desacetyl cephalosporin C) being smaller than 1. The particular values of these coefficients would imply that the difficult separation of cephalosporin C and desacetyl cephalosporin C could possibly be achieved via the aqueous two-phase extraction. The addition of surfactants, water-miscible solvents, and neutral salts for enhancement of the separation efficiency was also investigated. The addition of surfactants to the system did not affect the separation efficiency substantially. Kc would increase whereas Kd decreased as a result of the addition of acetone, MeOH, EtOH, IPA, and n-BuOH. Meanwhile both Kc and Kd would decrease whenever neutral salts, NaCl, KCl, Kl, or KSCN, were added. The partitioning behavior of cephalosporin C and desacetyl cephalosporin C in filtered, whole, and different batches of broth was notably quite similar to that of diluted broth. The recovery yield of cephalosporin C in whole broth extraction was observed to be a function of centrifugal force used in phase separation. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Stromal cell-associated liver cell and bone marrow (BM) culture on three-dimensiional nylon screen or polyglycolic acid (PGA) felt templates conveys certain functional advantages to the parenchyma of these tissues. Hepatic parenchymal cells (PC) manifest long-term (∼2 month) expression of liver-specific activities including cytochrome P450 enzyme activity and the synthesis of albumin, fibrinogen, transferrin, and other proteins. PC also undergo proliferation in association with stromal cells that were pre-established on these templates. PC mitoses are directly proportional to available space within the template for their expansion indication that geometric or sterotypic parameters influence the growth of these cells in vitro. BM cultured on a similar template exhibits long-term multilineage hematopoietic expression and limited expansion of progenitor cell numbers. Progenitor cell concentration within the cultures can be substantially enhanced if these cells are liberated from co-culture and reseeded onto a template containing fresh stromal cells. BM and liver cel cultures established on felt composed of bioresorbable PGA filaments was grafted into various sites in rats. Liver co-cultures generated sinusoids and other liver-like structures in situ; active hematopoietic blasts were observed at sites of BM co-culture grafts. Biodegradable polymer constructs may prove useful for certain clinical applications as vehicles for the delivery of tissues that were engineered in culture.

    Notes: Bacterial profile modification (BPM) is being developed as an oil recovery technique that uses bacteria to selectively plug oil depleted zones within a reservoir to divert displacing fluids (typically water) into oil-rich zones. Leuconostoc mesenteroides, which produces dextran when supplied with sucrose, is a bacterium that is technically feasible for use in profile modification. However, the technique requires controlled bacterial growth to produce selective plugging.A kinetic model for the production of cells and polysaccharides has been developed for L. mesenteroides bacteria. This model, based on data from batch growth experiments, predicts saccharide utilization, cell generation, and dextran production. The underlying mechanism is the extracellular breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose and the subsequent production of polysaccharide (dextran). The monosaccharides are then available for growth. Accompanying sucrose consumption is the utilization of yeast extract. The cell requires a complex media that is provided by yeast extract as a source of vitamins and amino acids. Varying the concentration ratio of yeast extract to sucrose in the growth media provides a means of controlling the amount of polymer produced per cell. Consequently, in situ bacteria growth can be controlled by the manipulation of nutrient media composition, thereby providing the ability to create an overall strategy for the use of L. mesenteroides bacteria for profile modification.

    Notes: The N-linked glycosylation of the recombinant protein mouse placental lactogen-I (mPL-I) expressed by Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells under nongrowth conditions was inhibited by increasing levels of ammonium chloride (3 and 9 mM) in a serum-free, protein expression medium. The effect of ammonia on glycosylation was dependent on the extracellular pH (pHe). In media containing 0 and 9 mM ammonium chloride, the percentage of the most heavily glycosylated forms of secreted mPL-I decreased from ca. 90% to ca. 25% at pHe 8.0, and from ca. 90% to ca. 65% at pHe 7.6, respectively. However, at pHe 7.2, the most heavily glycosylated forms of secreted mPL-I decreased from ca. 90% to ca. 80% in media containing 0 and 9 mM ammonium chloride, respectively. Inhibition of mPL-I glycosylation was found to correlate with the calculated concentrations of the ammonia species (NH3). Control experiments showed that the ammonia effect on mPL-I glycosylation could not be attributed to increased chloride concentration or osmolarity, or to extracellular events after secretion of the recombinant protein into the supernatant. Ammonium chloride, 9 mM, inhibited the expression rate of MPL-I by CHO cells at low pHe. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A conceptual model describing the relative roles of sorption and precipitation processes for metals in solid-solution suspensions is presented. The model performance is demonstrated using experimental data on sorption and precipitation of metals in samples of activated sludge mixed liquor. Based on the experimental results presented here, it appears that, at total metal and mixed liquor suspended solids concentrations and pH values generally encountered in full-scale municipal (or combined municipal/industrial) activated sludge systems, metals are primarily removed by sorption processes.

    Notes: The experimental study has assessed a novel membrane bioreactor for mammalian cell culture. In the absence of a gas phase, the key features of cell damage associated with laminar and turbulent flow have been identified. The bioreactor employs a dimpled membrane in order to enhance transverse mixing in a narrow channel, but a fall in viable cell density has been observed at Reynolds numbers above Re = 83. In the laminar flow regime wall shear is the critical mechanism and an accurate calculation of shear rate in a complex channel has been achieved using the Reynolds analogy. Flow generating a wall shear rate in excess of 3000 s-1 has been shown to cause damage. Power dissipation measurements have been used to distinguish between laminar and turbulent flow and also to predict Kolmogorov eddy lengths. An additional turbulent bulk stress damage mechanism at higher Reynolds numbers (Re 〉 250) results in a very rapid fall in viable cell density.

    Notes: Using free and immobilized whole cells of Pichia pastoris, the biocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol was investigated in different two-phase systems. This reaction was strongly influenced by both the substrate and product inhibitions, and the production rate of benzaldehyde in the aqueous system became maximum at the initial substrate concentration of ca. 29 g/L with the aldehyde formation less than 4 to 5 g/L even after a longer reaction period. The reaction rates in the two-liquid phase systems were predominantly determined by the partitioning behaviors of the substrate and product between the two phases rather than by enzyme deactivation by the organic solvents. In the two-liquid phase systems, consequently, the organic solvent acted as a reservior to reduce these inhibitory effects, and it was essential to select the organic solvent providing the optimal partitioning of the substrate into the aqueous phase as well as the preferential extraction of the product into the organic phase. The whole cells immobilized in a mixed matrix composed of silicone polymer [〉50% (v/v)] and Ca alginate gel (〈50%) worked well in the xylene and decane media, providing comparable activities with the free cells. The production rate of aldehyde was also influenced by the solute partitioning into the hydrophilic alginate phase where the cells existed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Water-in-oil microemulsion systems have been studied in recent years for a number of applications in protein separation and enzymology. Although it is well established that reversed micelle systems provide an excellent medium for nonaqueous biocatalytic studies, there is still much speculation as to the interaction of the enzyme with the surfactant interface. Polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate (Tween 85) is a nonionic surfactant which has some interesting properties for microemulsion formation and protein solubilization. In conjunction with a separate article describing the structural features of Tween 85 reversed micelles in hexane with isopropanol as a cosurfactant, this work describes the activity of an enzyme, organophosphorus hydrolase, for degrading organophosphorus pesticides in this microemulsion system. Ternary phase diagrams were constructed to outline the phase boundaries at different temperatures and isopropanol concentrations, which elucidate the role of the cosurfactant alcohol, as well as some features of micelle structure. Kinetic and stability studies with organophosphorus hydrolase show the effect of enzyme partitioning between the micelle surfactant layer and aqueous core. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Extractive acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation was carried out successfully using pervaporation and a low-acid-producing Clostridium acetobutylicum B18. A pervaporation module with 0.17 m2 of surface area was made of silicone membrane of 240 μm thickness. Pervaporation experiments using make-up solutions showed that butanol and acetone fluxes increased linearly with their concentrations in the aqueous phase. Fickian diffusion coefficients were constants for fixed air flow rates, and increased at higher sweep air flow rates. During batch and fed-batch fermentations, pervaporation at an air flow rate of 8 L/min removed butanol and acetone efficiently. Butanol concentration was maintained below 4.5 g/L even though Clostridium acetobutylicum B18 produced butanol steadily. Pervaporation could not remove organic acids efficiently, but organic acids did not accumulate because strain B18 produced little organic acid and recycled added organic acids efficiently. With pervaporation, glucose consumption rate increased compared to without pervaporation, and up to 160 g/L of glucose was consumed during 80 h. Cell growth was not inhibited by possible salt accumulation or oxygen diffusion through the silicone tubing. The culture volume was maintained relatively constant during fed-batch operation because of an offsetting effect of water and product removal by pervaporation and addition of nutrient supplements. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: New biosorbent material derived from a ubiquitous brown marine alga Ascophyllum nodosum has been examined in packed-bed flow-through sorption columns. It effectively removed 10 mg/L of cadmium down to 1.5 ppb levels in the effluent, representing 99.985% removal. The experimental methodology used was based on the early Bohart and Adams sorption model, resulting in quantitative determination of the characteristic process parameters which can be used for performance comparison and process design. An average metal loading of the biosorbent (N0) determined was 30 mg Cd/g, corresponding closely to that observed for the batch equilibrium metal concentration of 10 mg Cd/L. The critical bed depth (Dmin) for the potable water effluent quality standard (0.005 mgg Cd/L) varied with the column feed flow rate (2.4 to 9.6 L/h · cm2) from 20 to 50 cm. The sorption column mass transfer and dispersion coefficients were determined, which are also required for solving the sorption model equations. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The pathway of poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) exhibits a mode of transcriptional control induced by environmental stress. A new cybernetic model for coordinated regulation of stress-induced metabolism was developed to predict the growth and the synthesis of PHB in Alcaligenes eutrophus. A plausible objective for this control is optimization of acetyl-CoA utilization so that the cells have a high degree of flexibility in their catabolism. The state equation for key protein synthesis was assumed to have a dependence on the nonlinear control variable. The proposed model can demonstrate the mixed-growth-associated synythesis of PHB. Reported unstructured models were compared statistically with the result of the simulation derived from the proposed model using the experimental data of this study and the literature. The proposed model appeared to provide an excellent description for the overall fermentation range. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Excessive production of acetate is a problem frequently encountered in aerobic high-cell-density fermentations of Escherichia coli. Here, we have examined genetic alterations resulting in glycogen overproduction as a possible means to direct the flux of carbon away from the acetate pool. Glycogen overaccumulation was achieved either by using a regulatory glgQ mutation or by transforming cells with a plasmid containing the glycogen biosynthesis genes glgC (encoding ADPG pyrophosphorylase) and glgA (encoding glycogen synthase) under their native promoter. Both strategies resulted in an approximately five-fold increase in glycogen levels but had no significant effect on acetate excretion. The glgC and glgA genes were then placed under the control of the isopropyl---D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) inducible tac promoter, and this construct was used to stimulate glycogen production in a mutant defective in acetate biosynthesis due to deletion of the ack (acetate kinase) and pta (phosphotransacetylase) genes. If glycogen overproduction in the ack pta strain was induced during the late log phase, biomass production increased by 15 to 20% relative to uninduced controls. Glycogen overaccumulation had a significant influence on carbon partitioning: The output of carbon dioxide peaked earlier than in the control strain, and the levels of an unusual fermentation byproduct, pyruvate, were reduced. Exogenous pyruvate was metabolized more rapidly, suggesting higher activity of gluconeogenesis or the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as a result of glycogen overproduction. Potential mechanisms of the observed metabolic alterations are discussed. Our results suggest that ack pta mutants over producing glycogen may be a suitable starting point for constructing E. coli strains with improved characteristics in high-cell-density fermentations. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We have examined the effect of genetically engineered charge modifications on the partitioning behavior of proteins in dextran/polyethylene glycol two-phase systems containing potassium phosphate. By genetically altering a protein's charge, the role of charge on partitioning can be assessed directly without the need to modify the phase system. The charge modifications used are of two types: Charged tails of polyaspartic acid fused to β-galactosidase and charge-change point mutations of T4 lysozyme which replace positive lysine residues with negative glutamic acids. The partition coefficient Kp for these proteins was related to measured interfacial potential differences Δφ using the simple thermodynamic model, In Kp = In Ko + (F/RT)Zp δφ. The protein net charge Zp was determined using the Henderson-Hasselbalch relationship with modifications based on experimentally determined titration and isoelectric point data. It was found that when the electropartitioning term Zp δφ was varied by changing the pH, the partitioning of T4 lysozyme was quantitatively described by the thermodynamic model. The β-galactosidase fusions displayed qualitative agreement, and although less than predicted, the partitioning increased more than two orders of magnitude for the pH range examined. Changes in the partitioning of lysozyme due to the various mutations agreed qualitatively with the thermodynamic model, but with a smaller than expected dependence on the estimated charge differences. The β-galactosidase fusions, on the other hand, did not display a consistent charge based trend, which is likely due either to the enzyme's large size and complexity or to nonelectrostatic contributions from the tails. The lack of quantitative fit with the model described above suggests that the assumptions made in developing this model are oversimplified. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A rotating annular reactor (Roto Torque) was used for qualitative and quantitative studied on biofilm heterogeneity. In contrast to the classic image of biofilms as smooth, homogeneous layers of biomass on a substratum, studies using various pure and mixed cultures consistently revealed more-dimensional structures that resembled dunes and ridges, among others. These heterogeneities were categorized and their underlying causes analyzed. Contrary to expectations, motility of the microorganisms not a decisive factor in determining biofilm homogeneity. Small Variations in substratum geometry homogeneity. Small variations in substratum geometry and flow patterns were clearly reflected in the biofilm pattern. Nonhomogeneous flow and shear patterns in the reactor, together with inadequate mixing resulted in significant, position-dependent differences in surface growth. It was therefore not possible to take representative samples of the attached biomass. Like many other types of reactors, the Roto Torque reactor is valuable for qualitative and morphological biofilm experiments but less suitable for quantitative physiological and kinetics studies using attached microorganisms. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Equilibrium isotherms for adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on a new adsorbent, a strongly basic crosslinked chitosan (Chitopearl 2503), which is hard and is not compressed by pressure in a column, have been presented and compared with diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) Sepharose Fast Flow (hard gel). In Chitopearl 2503, when only buffer existed in the BSA solution, the isotherm was not affected by the initial concentration of BSA but it was affected by pH considerably. The isotherm was favorable when pH ≥ pl (≅ 4.8). When NaCl existed in the BSA solution, the amount of BSA absorbed on the resin decreased with increasing concentration of NaCl. When the concentration of NaCl was 200 mol/m3, the resin did not adsorb BSA at all. The equilibrium data were correlated by the Langmuir equation reasonably well. The BSA may be adsorbed mainly by electrostatic attraction between negatively charged BSA and positively charged quanternary ammonium groups at pH 〉 pl and by protonation reaction of the primary ammonium groups by weak acid groups of BSA at pH = pl. These are confirmed by measuring the amount of inorganic ion exchanged for BSA. In DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow, the isotherm was favorable when pH 〉 pl but unfavorable ar pH = pl. The saturation capacity of BSA on Chitopearl 2503 is about 1.3 to 2.2 times larger than that on DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (Z-AspPheOMe), a precursor of the synthetic sweetner asparatame, was synthesized from N-(benzyloxycarbolyl)-L-aspartic acid (Z-Asp) and L-phenylalanine methyl ester (PheOMe) with an immobilized thermolysin in various organic solvents. We found that in tert-amyl alcohol containing a small amount of water the immobilized enzyme showed a high activity comparble to that in ethyl acetate with quite a high stability. The immobilized enzyme was fully stable up to 70°C in tert-amyl alcohol in the absence of the subatrate, and up to 50°C in the presence of the substrate. The high stability in the presence of the substrate was found due to the fact that the release of calcium ions, the stabilizing factor of thermolysin, is suppressed.The substrate concentration dependence of the initial synthetic rate with the immobilized enzyme was quite different from that with the free enzyme in the biphasic system, in contrast to that in ethyl acetate. Finally, Z-AspPheOMe was continuously synthesized in a column reactor using 200 mM PheOMe and 120 mM Z-Asp as the substrate for over 300 h at 45°C and a space velocity of 1 h-1 without any loss of acivity. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A new group-specific affinity membrane using metal chelates as ligands and inorganic glass hollow fiber microfiltration membranes as support matrices is developed and tested. The study focused on developing the optimum activation and coupling procedures to bind the chelating agent (iminodiacetic acid, IDA) to the surface of the microporous glass hollow fiber membrane and testing the resultant affinity membrane. Starting with three different glass surfaces, five modification reactions were evaluated. All the modified “active surfaces” were first tested for their protein adsorptive properties in batch mode with suspended microporous glass grains using model proteins with known binding characteristics with Cu-IDA systems. The metal loading capacities of the surfaces exhibiting favorable fractionation were then measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy.The results were compared with the results obtained with a commercial material used in immobilized metal affinity column chromatography. The protein binding characteristics of the hollow fiber affinity membranes were also evaluated under conditions of convective flow. This was performed by flowing single solute protein solutions through the microporous membrane at different flow rates. These results were then used to estimate the optimum loading and elution times for the process. A mathematical model incorporating radial diffusion was solved using a finite difference discretization method. Comparison between model predictions and experimental results was performed for four different proteins at one flow rate. These results suggested that the kinetics of adsorption was concentration dependent. Finally, the hollow fiber affinity membranes were challenged with two component mixtures to test their ability to fractionate mixed protein solutions. Efficient separation and good purity were obtained.The results presented here represent the development of a new fast flow affinity membrane process-immobilized metal affinity membranes (IMAM). © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A means of rapidly renaturing denatured protein was devised and evaluated. Three liquids were laminarly layered in a centrifuge tube, in which two solutions sandwiched liquid paraffin so as to form a pseudolipid bilayer. Denatured and aggregted protein placed on the upper surface of liquid paraffin was renatured as it passed through liquid-paraffin layer into the renaturation buffer during the centrifugation. The aggregated and denatured protein selectively passed through the liquid-paraffin layer, whereas other solutions, such as chaotropic agents or organic solvent, could not. This means that a rapid dilution condition favorable for protein renaturation was realized in a small scale. Aggregated and denatured BSA and ribonuclease A were renatured and resolubilized as they passed through the liquid-paraffin layer into an appropriate renaturation buffer solution. This method was also applied to the rapid heme reconstitution of myoglobin from Feprotoporphyrin IX to Zn-protoporphyrin IX. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The influence of polyhydric alcohols and carbohydrates on the thermostability, i.e., the heat inactivation kinetics, of Bacillus licheniformis α-amylase was studied in the temperature range 96° to 130°C. High concentrations (from 9 to 60 weight percent) of glycerol, sorbitol, mannitol, sucrose, or starch can markedly decrease the inactivation rate constant, k, and in the studied cases, this stabilizing effect grows stronger with increasing additive concentration. Statements about stabilization should, however, be specified carefully with respect to temperature, because EA is mostly altered likewise. For dissolved enzyme EA was almost always decreased in the presence of polyol or carbohydrate, whereas for immobilized enzyme it was augmented in each studied instance. The inactivation of dissolved enzyme can, in all the studied cases, be adequately described as a firstorder process. Immobilized enzyme, however, shows biphasic then first-order inactivation kinetics, depending on the additive concentration and temperature. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Fluorescent microparticles were used as tracer beads to measure the dynamics of solids in spherical biofilms in a biofilm airlift suspension reactor. Attachment to, release from, and penetration into the biofilms of the tracer beads were measured. The coverage of the biofilm surface was low and the steady state particle concentration on the surface was dependent on the biofilm surface characteristics. The measured attachment rate constant was identical in both experiments and appeared to be determined by the hydrodynamic conditions in the turbulent reactor. The attachment rate was much faster than the release rate of the tracer beads and, therefore, the solidsretention time in the biofilm particle is not due to a simple reversible adsorption-desorption process. The heterogeneity of the distribution oftracer beads on different sectors on the biofilm surface decreased duringthe attachment period. Due to random detachment processes the heterogeneity of the tracer bead distribution increased during the release periodThe tracer beads quickly penetrated into the biofilm and became distributed throughout the active layer of the biofilm. The observed penetration into biofilms, the nonuniform distribution on the biofilm surface, and the fast uptake and slow release of tracer beads cannot be described by a simple model based on a reversible adsorption-desorption mechanism, nor withexisting biofilm models. These biofilm models, which balance growth and advection assuming a uniform biofilm with a homogeneous surface, are inadequate for the description of the observed solids retention time in biofilms. Therefore, a new concept of biofilm dynamics is proposed, in which formation of cracks and fissures, which are rapidly filled with growing biomass, combined with nonuniform local detachment, explains the observed fast penetration into the biofilm of tracer beads, the long residence time, and the nonuniform distibution of fluorescent microparticles. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Cell culture of Taxus cuspidata represents an alternative to whole plant extraction as a source of taxol and related taxanes. Feeding phenylalanine to callus cultures was previously shown to result in increased taxol yields, probably due to the involvement of this amino acid as a precursor for the N-benzoylphenylisoserine side chain of taxol. Inthis study, we have examined the effect of various concentrations of phenylalanine, benzoic acid, N-benzoylglycine, serine, glycine, alanine, and 3-amino-3-phenyl-propionic acid on taxol accumulation in 2-year-old cell suspensions of Taxus cuspidata, cell line FCL1F, and in developing callus cultures of T. cuspidata. All compounds tested were included in media at stationary phase (suspensions) or after the period of fastest growth (calli). Alanine and 3-amino-3-phenyl-propionicacid were tested only in callus cultures and did not affect taxol accumulation. Significant increases or trends toward increases in taxol accumulationin callus and suspensions were observed in the presence of phenylalanine, benzoic acid, N-benzoylglycine, serine, and glycine. The greatest increases in taxol accumulation were observed in the presence of various concentrations of phenylalanine (1 mM for callus; 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM for suspensions) and benzoic acid (0.2 and 1 mM for callus and 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM for suspensions). Increases in taxol yields of cell suspensions in the presence of the most effective precursors brought taxol amounts at stationary phase from 2 μg · g-1 to approximately 10 μg . g-1 of the extracted dry weight. The results are discussed in termsof possible implications to taxol biosynthesis and in terms of practical applications to large-scale cell culture systems for the production ofthis drug. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Kinetic data for lipase-catalyzed interesterification reactions between free fatty acids and triglycerides were collected and the dynamics of the interesterification reactions were successfully modeled using tow rate experssions requiring a total of five adjustable parameters. One rate expression describes the disappearance of the free fatty acid (octanoic or linolenic acid), and the second describes the rate of release of fatty acid residues from the triglycerides (olive oil or milkfat). This model is able to account for the effects of the concentration of all chemical species participating in interesterification throughout the entire reaction. When the data for both milkfat and olive oil were subjected to nonlinear regression analyses using the same mathematical model, the parameter estimates for both systems were comparable. In addition to reproducing the tendencies observed experimentally, simulations of the interesterification system under a variety of initial conditions provided insight into the effects of several reaction variables which could not be examined experimentally. Among the most significant findings of the simulation work are (1) there is a limit beyond which increasing the initial concentration of water produces no further increase in the initial rate of the interesterification reaction; (2) an increase in the initial concentration of lower glycerides produces a concomitant increase in the rate of the interesterification reaction; (3) the free fatty acids inhibit the rate of hydrolysis of the fatty acid residues of the triglycerides; (4) there is a limit beyond which increasing the initial concentration of triglycerides produces no significant increase in the rate of either the hydrolysis reaction or the interesterification reaction. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy is used to characterize the active site dynamics of α-chymotrypsin solubilized in reversed micelles. Of particular interest is the behavior of the enzyme when the micellar system is subjected to enhanced gas pressures and low temperatures. At specific thermodynamic conditions, clathrate hydrates from from the intramicellar water, reducing the micelle size and water content. Also, beyond a critical pressure, micellar instbility results. The EPR spectra under these conditions indicate that the rotational correlation times increase appreciably only when the water-to-surfactant molar ratio, W0, is reduced to values lower than 10. The EPR characterization also reveals a remarkable resilience of the enzyme when subjected to pressure-induced changes; when returned to ambient conditions, activity and active site dynamics are fully restored. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An extracellular proteinase from Thermus strain Rt41A was immobilized to controlled pore glass (CPG) beads. The properties of the free and CPG-immobilized enzymes were compared using both a large (azocasein) and a small (peptidase) substrate. The specific activity of the immobilized proteinase was 5284 azoU/mg with azocasein and 144 sucU/mg for SucAAPFpNA. The percentage recovery of enzyme activity was unaffected by pore size when it was immobilized at a fixed level of activity/g of beads, whereas it increased with increasing pore size when added at a fixed level/m2 of support. Saturation of the CPG beads was observed at 540 azoU/m2 of 105-nm beads. Lower levels (50 azoU/m2 of 50-nm beads) were used in characterization experiments. The pH optimum of the immobilized Rt41A proteinase was 8.0 for azocasein and 9.5 for SucAAPFpNA, compared with the free proteinase which was 10.5 for both substrates. The immobilized enzyme retained 65% of its maximum activity against azocasein at pH 12, whereas the free proteinase retained less than 10% under the same conditions. Stability at 80°C increased on immobilization at all pH values between 5 and 11, the greatest increase in half-life being approximately 12-fold at pH 7.0. Temperature-activity profiles for both the free and immobilized enzymes were similar for both substrates. The stability of the immobilized proteinase, however, was higher than that of the free enzyme in the absence and presence of CaCl2. Overall, the results show that low levels of calcium (10 μM) protect against thermal denaturation, but that high calcium or immobilization are required to protect against autolysis. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The simultaneous growth and product formation in a microbial culture is an important feature of several laboratory, industrial, and environmental bioprocesses. Metabolic burden associated with product formation in these bioprocesses may lead to growth advantage of a nonproducing mutant leading to a loss of the producing population over time. A simple population dynamics model demonstrates the extreme sensitivity of population stability to the engineered productivity of a strain. Here we use flux balance analysis to estimate the effects of the metabolic burden associated with product secretion on optimal growth rates. Comparing the optimal growth rates of the producing and nonproducing strains under a given processing condition allows us to predict the population stability. In order to increase stability of an engineered strain, we determine processing conditions that simultaneously maximize the growth rate of the producing population while minimizing the growth rate of a nonproducing population. Using valine, tryptophan, and lysine production as specific examples, we demonstrate that although an appropriate choice of oxygenation may increase culture longevity more than twofold, total production as governed by economic criterion can be increased by several orders of magnitude. Choice of optimal nutrient and oxygen supply rates to enhance stability is important both for strain screening as well as for culture of engineered strains. Appropriate design of the culture environment can thus be used to enhance the productivity of bioprocesses that use engineered production strains. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Optimization of cellular productivity of an industrial microalgae fermentation was investigated. The fermentation was carried out at Coors Biotech Products Company, Fort Collins, Colorado. A mathematical model was developed based on the data collected from pilot plant test runs at different operating conditions. Pontryagin's maximum principle was used for determining the optimal feed policy. A feedback control algorithm was also studied for maximizing the cellular productivity. During continuous operation, the optimum dilution rate was determined by an adaptive optimization scheme based on the steepest descent technique and a recursive least squares estimation of model parameters. A direct search algorithm was also applied to determine the optimum feed rate. Comparison of the theoretical results of the different optimization schemes revealed that the direct search algorithm was preferable because of its simplicity. The experimental results of real time application of the feedback algorithm agreed fairly well with those of the theoretical analyses. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Details of the mechanism for ribosome synthesis have been incorporated in the single-cell Escherichia coli model, which enable us to predict the amount of protein synthesizing machinery under different environmental conditions. The predictions agree quite well with available experimental data. The model predicts that ribosomal protein limitations are important when the translational apparatus is in high demand. Ribosomal RNA synthesis is induced by an increase in translational activity, which, in turn, stimulates ribosomal protein synthesis. However, as the demand increases still more, the ribosomal protein mRNA must compete with the plasmid mRNA for ribosomes, and the efficiency of translation of ribosomal proteins is reduced. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Several studies have shown that one of the critical factors governing protein fouling of microfiltration membranes is the presence of denaturedand/or aggregated protein in the bulk solutions. Experiments were performed to evaluate the role of intermolecular disulfide interchange reactionson protein aggregation and membrane fouling during stirred cell microfiltration of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The flux decline during BSA filtration was quite dramatic due to the formation of a protein deposit thatfully covered the membrane pores. This flux decline could be completely eliminated by capping the free sulfhydryl group present on the BSA with eithera carboxymethyl or cysteinyl group, demonstrating the critical importance of this free thiol in the intermolecular aggregation reactions and, in turn, protein fouling. BSA aggregation during storage could be reduced by the addition of metal chelators (EDTA and citrate) or dithiothreitol, orby storage at lower pH (7.0) these solutions all had a significantly lower rate of fouling upon subsequent filtration. This behavior is completely consistent with the known chemistry of the thiol-disulfide interchange reaction, demonstrating that an understanding of these intermolecular (aggregation) reactions can provide a rational framework for the analysis and control of protein fouling in these membrane systems. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
