    Notes: An apparatus is described for the aeration of a series of tissue cultures at rates which may be varied independently for each vessel. The composition of the aerating gas can be adjusted to any desired percentages of CO2 and O2. While designed particularly for study of the aeration requirements of submerged tissue growth, the equipment is equally adaptable for study of submerged growth of bacterial and other systems. The apparatus has been designed for future scale-up and is adaptable to both the overlay and bubble-through types of aeration. Flow rates necessary for producing mixtures of 5.0% CO2 and 95.0% air or 5.6% CO2, 14.0% O2, and 80.4% nitrogen are given. The described system has been operated satisfactorily and has proved to be an inexpensive and useful research tool.

    Notes: The rate of oxygen absorption by aqueous sodium sulphite solutions in tower-type fermentors up to 6 in. in diameter was related both to tower diameter and to the number of sintered Pyrex disks used for dispersing air entering the towers. Maximal rates of absorption were obtained in towers 2.5 in. in diameter. Under comparable conditions, rates of oxygen transfer in towers containing one aeration disk were approximately 30% higher than those in similar towers containing two or more disks. In towers greater than 6 in. in diameter, the absorption rate was independent of vessel diameter and number of aeration disks when more than one disk was used. Bubble coalescence was the main cause of the difference in the rate of oxygen absorption.

    Notes: The authors describe continuous cultivations of Escherichia coli possessing high penicillin-acylase activity in corn-steep liquor, peptone, and ammonium phenylacetate containing nutrient medium. If the cultivation is performed in the absence of ammonium phenylacetate the enzymic activities of cells from the batch as well as the continuous cultures are very low. The enzymic activity of cells in the batch process was considerably increased by the addition of 0.015% ammonium phenylacetate to the nutrient medium. Further increase of ammonium phenylacetate concentration did not result in any further increase of acylase activity. Continuous cultivation of the bacteria at the above ammonium phenyl-acetate concentration was unsuccessful, as the enzymic activity of the bacteria constantly decreased during the process. On increasing the concentration of ammonium phenylacetate in the medium to 0.15% the authors succeeded in maintaining the enzymic activity of the bacteria at the same level as in the batch process performed at 0.015% concentration, throughout the whole continuous cultivation. At the dilution rate D = 0.5 hr.-1 the concentration of cells in the culture effluent from the fermentor at the steady state was equal to cell concentration at the end of batch cultivation. In relation to the cultivation time the output of cells in continuous cultivation is almost seven times higher as compared with the batch process.

    Notes: These experiments show that ABS can be adsorbed and desorbed from microbial cell surfaces. The adsorption equilibria between the free and adsorbed phases are primarily influenced by the pH of the system. The effects of ABS upon the biochemical activities of bacteria depended upon the amount of ABS adsorbed and the type of bacteria present. The behaviour of ABS is essentially the same whether in the presence of pure or mixed bacterial cultures. Two desorption experiments with soil from a reclaimed water spreading basin which has received sewage over a six month period showed that at least 82% of the ABS “loss” was recoverable from the soil. In all the experiments carried out in this study no evidence was obtained for the biochemical degradation of ABS.

    Notes: With the emphasis being given to the development of biologically soft detergents, it is necessary to establish eriteria defining biodegradability of these materials. It is the authors' opinion that a biologically soft detergent should have the following characteristics: (1) Under normal operations the material should be 85% removable by activated sludge. (2) Normally high discharges of the detergent should not influence biological activity. (3) The detergent should ultimately degrade to carbon dioxide and water.

    Notes: Because branched-chain alkyl benzene sulfonate (ABS) is well known to create water pollution problems in surface water and ground water, a study was made on the biodegradation of this surfactant along with other anionic and nonionic surfactants in detergents by water bacteria. Biodegradation was evaluated by the conventional river die-away test employing the methylene-blue method or surface-tension techniques as analytical tools. Under anaerobic conditions, sugar detergents (sucrose esters) seem to be an ultimate solution to water problems created by branched-chain ABS; in aerated water, straight-chain ABS, sulfo tallow methyl esters, and nonionic surfactants are preferable to branched-chain ABS to improve water problems.

    Notes: Shock pressure waves with a frequency of 50/sec. and a maximal pressure of 60-70 kg./cm.2 greatly reduced the viability of E. coli. A similar effect was obtained also on staphylococci, enterococci, Salmonella Zanzibar, and coliphages T2. On the contrary no effect on spores of B. subtilis was found. The effect was practically independent of the maximal pressure within the range from 30-80 kg./cm.2, the highest pressure tested. The effect decreased with increasing cell density of the bacterial suspension. Bacteria surviving shock treatment died considerably more rapidly when stored at 4°C. than bacteria treated in the same way except for exposure to pressure waves. Morphological examinations with the aid of ordinary light microscopy as well as electron microscopy suggest that the effect was due to mechanical action on the bacterial cell walls.

    Notes: Sphaerotilus is usually present in biological waste treatment processes and is considered to be a nuisance organism because it may cause bulking of activated sludge. However, it may play an important role in the decomposition of putrescible organic matter in properly operated biological waste treatment processes. The research described herein is a study of the variety of types of organic compounds which may be decomposed by Sphaerotilus and the effect of some environmental factors upon the rate of decomposition. Although there are some types of compounds which cannot be decomposed by Sphaerotilus, it is shown that this organism is able to assimilate and oxidize a large variety of organic compounds and that it is tolerant of an extremely wide range of environmental conditions. The role of Sphaerotilus in biological waste treatment is discussed in the light of the data presented.

    Notes: It has been found that a bacterium (isolant C12B) grew poorly on 6 and 8 carbon alcohols, well on 10 and 12 carbon alcohols, and slowly but well on the 14 to 18 carbon compounds. Unexpectedly, resting cells oxidized the 6 and 8 carbon compounds most readily and cell-free extracts oxidized 6, 8, and 10 carbon alcohols. Extracts from cells adapted to sodium lauryl sulfate oxidized the 12 carbon alcohol as well, if small concentrations of substrate were used. The bacterium grew on benzene sulfonate and adapted resting cells oxidized that compound. Pure culture degradation studies revealed that isolant C12B used only 11% of tetrapropylene ABS supplied as a sole carbon source, whereas 66% of sodium lauryl sulfate was degraded. Intermediate quantities of kerosene-based alkyl benzene sulfonate and a tallow-derived detergent were utilized. Extracts of another bacterium, TEG-5, grown on tetraethylene glycol, contained enzymes which oxidized polyethylene glycols up to an average molecular weight of 600, but not any larger polymers. This oxidation was visualized by coupling to reduction of ferricyanide.

    Notes: Two sources of oxygen for man in closed-cycle space system environment have been considered in previous studies: (1) photosynthesis using algae, and (2) electrolysis of water. The latter system appears to be the most promising from the standpoints of energy and weight requirements and ability to operate in a zero gravity field. The surplus hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water may be utilized together with waste carbon dioxide, part of the oxygen, and waste urea by bacteria of the genus Hydrogenomonas to produce cellular protein which might be used as a source of food. A continuous culture system for the propagation of hydrogen-fixing bacteria consists of a baffled borosilicate glass culture vessel provided with an impeller, a reservoir vessel for the culture medium, and an overflow vessel for collecting the bacterial cells removed from the culture vessel. Complete feedback control of all parameters affecting growth can be provided by hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide sensors, and a pH electrode in the culture medium. In addition, total pressure is monitored. Cell density is controlled in the optimum range by means of a photoelectric cell which dictates the amount of fresh medium to be added and the amount of cells to be removed. Operating data indicate that some of the key parameters are the ratio of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in solution. The harvested bacterial substance is high in protein, which contains all the essential amino acids.

    Notes: A model of oxygen absorption in microbiological systems of zero order reaction rate is proposed. The partial differential equation was solved to predict the profile of the oxygen concentration boundary layer next to a gas-liquid interface. Generally speaking, the presence of microbial cells always helps to increase the oxygen absorption rate over that of physical absorption. Only when the microbiological reaction is slow as judged by the fact that the reaction time, tr, is much larger than the diffusion time, tD, can one rightfully approximate the oxygen absorption in microbiological suspensions by physical absorption.

    Notes: Glucoamylase bound to DEAE-cellulose in 0.05 M sodium acetate, pH 4.0, is active in the conversion of starch to glucose. The activity of the DEAE-cellulose-bound enzyme ranges from 16 to 55% of the activity of the free enzyme. Binding of the enzyme narrows the pH optimum to approximately 4.0 and lowers the temperature optimum to 40-50°C as compared to a 60°C temperature optimum for the free enzyme. Concentrations of acetate buffer above 0.1 M disrupt the DEAE-cellulose-enzyme complex. Columns were used with some success for the continuous conversion of starch. Pretreatment of the starch with α-amylase and clarification were necessary to prevent blocking of the column. Columns maintained activity for more than 3 weeks of continuous operation.

    Notes: One important economical method for producing singlecell protein is to spray dry the cultured cells. This study presents some preliminary data on the effects of spray drying on cell viability. Under conditions similar to those for the production of spray-dried milk, 4-5 log cycles destruction occurred. The results indicate that, the activation energy for thermal destruction of yeast was reduced from the normal heat treatment value of 84 kcal/°K mole to about 38 kcal/°K mole.

    Notes: Streptomyces mannosidase, like the enzyme from other sources, is shown to require a divalent cation for enzyme activity. N-Ethylmaleimide pretreatment of enzyme-containing cells eliminated the requirement of aeration for enzyme activity. Methyl-α-D-mannoside was found to be a strong inhibitor of the hydrolysis of both p-nitrophenyl-α-D-mannoside and mannosidost reptomycin. The enzyme is bound at or near the surface of the cell and is inactivated by sonic oscillation. Small participate matter containing most of the activity can be released from the cells into water, such release being inhibited by phosphate, Tris, or sodium chloride.

    Notes: Mathematical models of the interaction between predator and host populations have been expressed as systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Solutions of such systems may be periodic or aperiodic. Periodic, oscillatory solutions may depend on the initial conditions of the system or may be limit cycles. Aperiodic solutions can, but do not necessarily, exhibit oscillatory behavior. Therefore, it is important to characterize predatory-prey models on the basis of the possible types of solutions they may possess. This characterization can be accomplished using some well-known methods of nonlinear analysis. Examination of the system singular points and inspection of phase plane portraits have proved to be useful techniques for evaluating the effect of various modifications of early predator-prey models. Of particular interest is the existence of limit cycle oscillations in a model in which predator growth rate is a function of the concentration of prey.

    Notes: The enzyme L-amino acid oxidase of Crotalus adamanteus was covalently coupled to porous 96% silica glass particles. The insolubilized enzyme was active on several L-amino acids including: leucine, isoleucine, cysteine, phenylalanine, tryptophane, and methionine. No activity was observed with D-amino acids, L-asparagine, or L-proline. Maximum activity was observed at pH 7.8. Stability of the enzyme derivative was demonstrated by continuous operation of an enzyme column for 35 days, during which the bound enzyme oxidized over 5000 times its own weight of substrate.

    Notes: A method for analyzing the reactor behavior of a continuous, multistage tower fermentor is described. A model consisting of a system of interconnected, ideal subreactors is set up on the basis of the fermentor's configuration and flow pattern. The residence time distribution curve is used to test the validity of the model and the relative quantities of flow streams and regions in the model are determined. A least-square fitting procedure between measured and calculated distribution curves is used to identify the proper model. The application of this method to real cultivation conditions is also discussed. Using this approach, the multistage tower fermentor is shown to be equivalent to a cascade of four perfectly mixed tanks with a backtracking stream between stages.

    Notes: The conversion of naphthalene to salicylic acid by Pseudomonas fluorescens was studied as a model for dialysis fermentation. In a demonstration experiment, the continual removal of the product by dialysis and by intermittent replenishment of the dialysate reservoir caused cyclical changes in the concentrations of viable cells and product. The cumulative total amount of both cell mass and salicylate, however, continued to increase steadily until the experiment was terminated after 15 days. At this time the rate of product formation was highest and still increasing, although less than 10% of the cells were viable. The terminal amount of salicylate was about 20-fold greater than the maximum reached in the control fermentation, and was calculated to be 2.6-fold more productive even if the control were optimally recycled. Methods were projected to achieve still further improvements.

    Notes: The removal of cellular material from fermentation broths is of importance in many fermentation processes. The present work compares the performance of recently developed polyelectrolyte flocculating additives with traditionally available additives. Objectives are to establish criteria for the choice of a flocculating additive and establish optimum conditions for the formation of stable, fast settling floe, and for quantitative separation of cellular material from the medium. Fermentation broths of actively growing Candida intermedia were used to evaluate the effectiveness of fifty commercial flocculating additives at different dosages and pH values. Certain strong anionic and strong cationic polyelectrolytes and mineral hydrocolloids were found to be most effective in their enhancement of settling rates. Some differences in behavior exist between glucose grown cells, hydrocarbon grown cells, and washed cells in buffer suspension. Flocculation of cells from fermentation broths is concluded to be highly dependent upon adsorbed material. A high charge density to interact or compete with adsorbed material and a solubility in the adsorbed material are important factors in choosing an additive for a given application. The fluid mechanics of a flocculating suspension is an important variable since low shear does not provide adequate contacting between cells for floe formation and high shear leads to floe breakup. An apparatus was constructed to grow floe under constant fluid mechanical conditions both in laminar and turbulent flow regimes. Turbulent shear was found to be very important in forming large, compact floe in cases where irreversible ionic bridging is the mechanism as for the strong anionic polyelectrolyte, polystyrene sulfonate. Adequate mixing is required to disperse the flocculating additive, but the level of turbulence is relatively unimportant in cases where reversible colloidal bridging is the mechanism as for the mineral hydrocolloid, bentonite.

    Notes: In order to isolate proteins from microalgae, yeasts and bacteria, cell disintegration in a special ball-mill was performed. The degree of disintegration of the different microorganisms was compared. The dependence of disintegration on bead size and on the ratio between the volume of suspension and the volume of glass beads was also investigated. Nondisintegrated and disintegrated cells were extracted with sodium hydroxide and the amount of extractable nitrogen and the amount of nitrogen precipitable at pH 4.0 were determined. The dependence of yield on the sodium hydroxide concentration, extraction time, and temperature was studied. When extracting undisintegrated cells, very low yields were obtained and the nitrogen extracted was mostly nonproteinous. For disintegrated cells high yields were obtained. An optimum was found after extraction with 0.3-0.5% sodium hydroxide; at pH 11.0-11.5. The precipitate obtained represented 60-70% of the cell nitrogen. The nitrogen content of the precipitate was 12-14% of the dry weight.

    Notes: Optimization methods based on the continuous maximum principle and the calculus of variations were used to calculate optimum temperature profiles for batch penicillin fermentations. These methods were first applied to several general models to develop effective techniques for the numerical solution of the equations. Subsequently, these methods were applied to two particular models, derived from experimental data, and the optimum temperature profiles were determined. The results indicated that an improvement, in penicillin yield of about 15% was possible if the optimum temperature profiles were followed.

    Notes: The growth of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis in continuous culture has been studied when dissolved oxygen and glucose concentrations were held constant at a series of steady-state levels. Both oxygen and glucose controlled the degree of aerobic metabolism and of ethanolic fermentation. When the glucose uptake rate was low (between 1.2 and 2.8 mmoles per hour per gram of yeast) the relative distribution of glucose between ethanolic and aerobic fermentation was sensitive to oxygen: when dissolved oxygen was near to saturation, glucose metabolism was 0.98 aerobic; when dissolved oxygen was 0.01 saturated, 0.8 of intake glucose metabolism was by ethanolic fermentation. On the other hand when glucose intake was high (between 7.6 and 18.2 mmoles) metabolism was predominately by ethanolic fermentation even when dissolved oxygen concentration was at saturation. The extent, to which catabolism proceeded by an anaerobic or aerobic pathway, as judged by ethanol production, was controlled more by the uptake of glucose than of oxygen.

    Notes: Studies were made of oxygen transfer and power in 20-1. novobiocin fermentations with five sizes (23-60% of the tank diameter) of geometrically similar flatblade turbine impellers. The influence of changes in apparent viscosity on oxygen transfer and power was found to be related to impeller diameter. At constant agitator speed the oxygen availability rate (OAR) decreased with increase in apparent viscosity, but the magnitude of the reduction was less with a small impeller than with a large one. At constant power input the small-diameter impeller (23% of tank diameter) gave an OAR about 8 times that of the large one (60% of tank diameter) when tested in viscous beer, whereas with sulfite or yeast all impeller diameters gave the same OAR. Impeller tip velocity correlated with OAR independently of diameter for the five turbine sizes examined. The power required for optimal novobiocin yields increased with increase in turbine diameter, but the yields were independent of diameter at equal OAR.

    Notes: Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces carlsbergensis were grown in batch culture with and without oxygen control.The concentrations of A-, B- and C-type cytochromes of both yeasts were dependent on the oxygen concentration during growth as well as on the initial glucose concentration of the growth medium. S. cerevisiae cytochromes were maximal after growth in low glucose and low oxygen; S. carlsbergensis cytochromes were maximal after growth in low glucose and high oxygen. Except when glucose was in very low concentration, its catabolism by S. carlsbergensis was directed predominantly towards ethanolic fermentation regardless of the oxygen concentration. Growth rate, total cell mass and yield were maximal, and anabolism was closely balanced with catabolism, when glucose and oxygen of S. carlsbergensis cultures were both high. Under these conditions neither catabolism, respiratory or ethanolic, nor glucose uptake were maximal.

    Notes: A laboratory bench set-up for the continuous chemical sterilization of microbiological media using β-propiolactone was developed. The apparatus permits the sterilization of up to 4 liters/hr. of liquid media. The parameters of hydrolyzing time and temperature necessary to reduce the β-propiolactone to nontoxic levels were determined using a E. coli-nutrient broth system. The sterilization technique was applied successfully to a variety of media, and its potential usefulness on an industrial scale is discussed.

    Notes: Dissolved oxygen levels in fermentation systems are affected by (a) gas flow rate, (b) degree of agitation, and (c) oxygen partial pressure in the gas. Since the first two variables cannot easily be separated, a method for dissolved oxygen control has been devised based on the variation of oxygen partial pressure in the gas. Oxygen and nitrogen are fed to a special mixing valve capable of varying the proportions of the two gases while keeping the total flow rate constant. A dissolved oxygen electrode and control system adjust the valve setting to automatically maintain a preset oxygen level. Oxygen analyzers, monitoring the inlet and outlet gas streams, provide additional information from which oxygen absorption and uptake rates may be determined. The system provides a means for the quantitative and independent study of aeration and agitation effects. In addition, it offers a basis for routine control of oxygen levels in plant fermentation equipment.

    Notes: In a previous report it was concluded that steady-state operation of completely mixed reactors for growth of heterogeneous microbial populations, i.e., activated sludge processes, was extremely difficult to attain if maintenance of a constant sludge recycle ratio, c, was required, and equations were devised in which the concentration of cells in the recycle, xR, rather than the recycle ratio, was constant. In this report the equations are developed and computational analysis shows the effect on substrate and cell concentrations in the reactor of operational variables such as inflowing feed concentration, hydraulic recycle ratio, recycle sludge concentration, dilution rate, and the biological “constants” μm, ks, and Y. The stabilizing effect of operating with constant xR on the dilute-out pattern is shown.

    Notes: Kinetic data of the reaction between sulphite ions and dissolved oxygen depend on the purity of sulphite used. Thus it is adequate to determine them for each batch and concentration of sulphite used. Besides the dependence of reaction rate constants on catalyst concentration, it is usually also required to know their dependence on pH and on temperature. Both quantities can change to a great extent especially in absorption apparatus in which high sulphite conversion occurs. They profoundly influence the value of the reaction rate constant. To get a complete picture of the influence of these three quantities without repeating extensive kinetic measurements for every kind and concentration of sulphite used, a method for obtaining information on the influence of all three quoted quantities in the range of values of interest for application is presented.

    Notes: A 30-liter apparatus for growing cells continuously is described. Samples are taken automatically, thus obviating one of the main causes of contamination. In order to eliminate the continuous introduction of a gas stream, the pH was kept constant by means of the injection of NH4OH or NaOH. Under these circumstances, and by means of the two methods of agitation described - rotary and “by Vibromixer” - a quantity of cells of approximately 4 × 1010 is harvested every 48 to 72 hr.

    Notes: Two-step microbial transformation of 16α-hydroxycortexolone to its 1-dehydro-11α-hydroxy derivative, without isolating an intermediate, was achieved with an overall yield of 72% of product at a steroid substrate concentration of 3 mg/ml. The process included formation of the cycloborate complex of the substrate, hydroxylation of the borate complex with a suspension of Aspergillus ochraceus mycelium in phosphate buffer, and dehydrogenation of the 11α-hydroxylated intermediate with acetone-dried Arthrobacter simplex cells. The desired product was then obtained by breaking the resultant borate complex through acidification.

    Notes: The rates of release of 7 enzymes from bakers' yeast have been measured. The disruption process did not cause loss of activity of these enzymes. The various operating pressures, temperatures, and initial yeast concentrations used did not affect the rates of enzyme release relative to protein release. The release of acid phosphatase and invertase was faster than the overall protein release. Alcohol, glucose-6-phosphate, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases were released slightly faster or at the same rate as the overall protein and alkaline phosphatase and fumarase were released more slowly. These observations correlate well with the reported locations of these enzymes in the yeast cell.

    Notes: The kinetics of the enzymatic hydrolysis of sucrose by invertase have been examined, with particular emphasis on high substrate concentration. Initial rates of reaction were determined by following the production of glucose directly as a function of time over a wide range of substrate concentrations (0.04M to 2.06M). The resulting data reveal a reaction rate that increases gradually until the sucrose concentration reaches about 0.29M, after which the reaction velocity decreases with increasing sucrose concentration. Previous workers (e.g., Nelson and Schubert1) have reported a peak reaction velocity as determined by indirect polarimetric measurements of glucose, at a sucrose concentration of about 0.17M. These measurements, however, neglect the intermediate oligosaccharides formed by the transferase action of invertase,8-10 and assume equal amounts of glucose and fructose. According to Anderson et al.,10 these oligosaccharides interfere by producing an erroneously low reaction rate. Experimental results of this work confirm Anderson's observations, and show a further reaction rate increase of nearly 20% between sucrose concentrations of 0.177M and 0.285M under the same conditions of temperature, pH, and enzyme-concentration.Effects of substrate diffusion, solution viscisity, water concentration, and substrate inhibition were experimentally studied and the results incorporated into a kinetic model that has proven satisfactory in modeling the experimental results. This model takes into account inhibition by primary substrate, with concentration of the secondary substrate water, as a rate limiting factor at sucrose concentrations greater than 0.285M.The effects of the mixing, in terms of volumetric power input, on the relation rate have been tested. Approximately 40-fold increase in volumetric power input caused on increase in the reaction rate. These experiments have shown that bulk mass transfer is not a rate limiting factor under the experimental conditions.

    Notes: The growth of microorganisms in fermentations where oil had been maintained as the continuous phase was examined to determine whether advantage could be gained from the increased solubility of oxygen in hydrocarbon. Although cell concentrations were highest in the aqueous phase of oil-continuous systems, due to the large oil fraction, productivities achieved per unit fermenter volume were generally equivalent to those obtained from water-continuous systems. With the oil-continuous emulsions, the power requirement for aeration and mixing was less, and phase reversal resulted in a threefold concentration of cells in the aqueous medium, thereby facilitating their recovery.

    Notes: The release constant, k, of brewers yeast sonicated at powers up to 200 W at 20 kHz has been shown to be independent of cell concentration up to values of 60 g made up to 100 ml. It is inversely proportional to the volume of the treatment vessel in the range 75 to 450 ml, and almost proportional to the input acoustic power from 60 to 195 acoustic watts. A flow system is described and a relationship linking protein release, flow rate, and the protein release constant, determined from batch experiments, is derived. Good agreement between the theoretical prediction of protein release and experimental results with the flow system was obtained.

    Notes: The kinetics of the batch-wise liquid-phase oxidation of ferrous sulfate by the organism Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been studied over a range of temperatures from 20°C to 31°C and in the presence of an abundant supply of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other nutrients.The rate of oxidation was found to be accurately described by the equation \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \frac{{dS}}{{dt}} = \frac{{\mu _m SX}}{{Y(K + S)}} $$\end{document} where t = time hr, S = concentration of ferrous ions g Fe++/1., μm = maximum specific growth rate of bacteria, hr-1. Y = mass of bacteria produced per gram of iron oxidized g/g, K = saturation constant, g Fe++/l., and X = concentration of bacteria g/1.The value for the maximum specific growth rate, μm, was found to vary from 0.12 hr-1 at 20°C to 0.20 hr-1 at 31°C, while the value for the saturation constant K varied randomly between 1 and 2 g/1.A method has also been described which permitted evaluation of the relevant rate constants μm and K without direct knowledge of the bacterial population. This method was found to yield values of μm and K which agreed with values determined accurately by a statistical regression analysis of the experimental data.

    Notes: Bacterial strains were isolated from California coastal areas which showed the ability to oxidize normal paraffins, iso-paraffins, and aromatic hydrocarbons in a synthetic seawater medium. The ability to utilize a particular hydrocarbon was established not only on the basis of visible bacterial growth but also through a chromatographic technique which was standardized and which could define the amount of each hydrocarbon consumed by the bacteria in a mixture. Some of the strains exhibited vigorous hydrocarbon oxidation when exposed to synthetic mixtures of hydrocarbons as well as crude oil. Under conditions of aeration and agitation, mixed cultures could destroy approximately 50% of a South Louisiana crude oil in a period of 48 hr.

    Notes: Cultivation of Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus, which is capable of synthesizing an extracellular polymer and utilized hydrocarbons, has been reported. Growth studies in shake flasks and fermenters were made to obtain maximum polymer production. Polymer formation was found to be growth associated. The highest level of polymer accumulation was attained after 50-60 hr cultivation in the fermenter and it amounted to approximately 5.5-6 g/liter of fermentation broth. The medium contained initially 2% (v/v) kerosene as a carbon source. The maximum yield obtained corresponds to 37-40% (w/w) of kerosene supplied. At the same time the cell concentration was 10-13 g/liter which represents the yield of 67-87% (w/w). The rate of polymer production in the exponential phase was 0.25 g/liter hr and cell production rate was 0.27 g/liter hr. Sodium nitrate, 0.5%, and yeast extract, 0.3%, (w/w) were the best nigrogen sources for polymer formation. The highest level of polymer produced in broth was 6 g/liter.

    Notes: B. subtilis NRRL B3411 neutral protease has been extensively purified by solvent, and salt fractional ion, pigment removal with DEAE-cellulose followed by chromatography on hydroxylapatite, and a final passage through a Sephadex G-100 column. The neutral protease was shown to be homogeneous by disc gel and cellulose acetate electrophoresis, gel filtration chromatography, and ultra-centrifugation. The molecular weight was determined by osmometry and ultracentrifugation to be about 38-42,000 and the amino acid composition and zinc content determined. The general properties of the enzyme, pH-activity relationship, stability, effect of inhibitors, and specificity are discussed. Comparative studies were carried out on the B. subtilis NRRL B3411 and B. subtilis var. amylosacchariticus neutral proteases and these enzymes were found to be indistinguishable by the methods used, but quite distinct from the thermostable enzyme thermolysin from B. thermoprotcolyticus.

    Notes: A microbial ecosystem represents a delicately balanced population of microorganisms each interacting with and influencing the other members of the population. An understanding of the nature and effects of these interactions is essential to improving the performance of these ecologies, which are important, in such diverse processes as biological waste treatment procedures, water pollution abatement, industrial fermentations, human or animal digestives processes and in soil. There are several types of mocrobial interactions, such as commensalism, inhibition, food competition, predation, parasitism, and synergism, which either singly or in combination may influence the functioning of the microbial ecology.To understand interactions, it is necessary to perform a detailed study of the physiology of the individual predominating microorganisms to establish their requirements with respect to such environmental factors as nutrients, temperature, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, removal of waste products, or toxic materials which may be involved in control processes and to determine how these factors affect their capabilities. The sum total of this information will indicate the possible interactions between the microorganisms and will form the basis for conducting experiments either in the laboratory or with mathematical models. Such experiments will lead to an understanding of microbial activities and to the formulation of control measures, often using an alteration of the environmental factors for regulation of the microbial ecologies. Extensive research remains to be done on the microbial interact inns in obtain the desired, precise control of these ecological processes.

    Notes: Previous studies of oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) variation in monolayer (Roux bottle) cultures pointed out the need for data on pH and ORP patterns in simple spinner cultures. This information was desirable for optimizing conditions of growth in small 1-L and New Brunswick fermentors. Results of experiments in 250-ml centrifuge spinner vessels are presented showing that incubation of media prior to inoculation induces desirable qualities reflected in better growth. The importance of initial ORP values of the medium is discussed. The relationship of ORP levels to yield and longevity of cell growth is also considered. The ORP level of the medium at inoculation is shown to be effected by previous incubation.

    Notes: Characterization of proteolytic activity in preparations or fermentation broth is accomplished by methods based on a combination of disc electrophoresis and visualization of the activity. The methods permit a direct, comparison with reference preparations. All alkaline proteases studied, including the three subtilisins, were found to consist of several proteolytic components. The zymograms of the subtilisin type preparations show an irregular pattern. At least 14 different components may be observed, belonging to 6 types of mobility pattern, 3 of which could be assigned to the subtilisins. None of the components belongs to the group of metalloproteases. A quite regular pattern is shown by the zymogram of protease preparations produced by the alkalophilic Bacillus strains.A few of the components of the subtilisin preparations Maxatase and protease A were isolated by preparative disc electrophoresis and by disc electrofococusing, allowing a further characterization. Special attention was directed to the determination of properties specific for the application of subtilisins as additives in household detergents. Thermostability in sodium tripolyhosphate solution was found to range from about 10% for one of the minor components to 80% for the main component of Maxatase. Three types of curves representing the effect of pH on the activity were observed. The curve of the main component of Maxatase shows a characteristic shape with a maximum at pH 10.3: with other components lower pH optima were observed. Isoelectric points of the component were found to range from pH 7 to 10.

    Notes: Of several candidate disinfectants for use in tissue culture work, especially suspension cultures, sodium hypochlorite solution was selected to test its effect on growing cells. Metabolizing cells reduce, sodium hypochlorite oxidizes ; therefore NaOCl leakage into such systems must be neutralized with no untoward effects on the cells. Dilutions of routine disinfectant-grade sodium hypochlorite were tested against cell cultures. Those exposed to 15.62 to 31.25 ppm of NaOCl grew with no apparent cell damage.

    Notes: High substrate concentrations inhibit growth and may distort the metabolism of microorganisms. Mechanisms causing substrate inhibition are discussed and used to derive several mathematical models representative of the entire concentration range, including stimulation of growth by low substrate concentrations. These kinetic models are tested with a variety of batch culture measurements of specific growth rate and respiration rate at widely-ranging substrate concentrations. Using one of the kinetic models, equations are developed for batch, continuous, and exponential-feed reactors. Comparison of results obtained in continuous culture with results from exponential-feed culture systems is shown to offer a novel experimental method for evaluating the effect of the cell age distribution on the properties and metabolic activity of a culture.

    Notes: Two kinds of mathematical models have been developed for batch penicillin fermentations: (1) general models, based on averaged, nondimensionalized cell and penicillin synthesis curves from plant, scale fermentors and (2) particular models developed from specific sets of experimental data from two sources. Parameter-temperature functions used with the general models were assumed to have general shapes which could apply to many fermentations, i.e., they were based on the familiar temperature response of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Parameter-temperature functions for the particular models were determined from experimental data for batch runs at various temperatures.

    Notes: In view of the recent development that some petrochemical products are efficiently available as substrates for the fermentation industry, glycerol manufactured from propylene by chemical synthesis would also be hoped for the purpose. This paper describes some of the factors influencing mannitol production from glycerol by Torulopsis yeasts and a microbial conversion of glycerol to D-fructose via mannitol, in which two sequential steps of yeast and Acetobacter fermentation are involved. Torulopsis mannitofaciens CBS 5981 and Torulopsis vcrsatilis CBS 1752, exceptionally good mannitol producers, were selected for the study. High concentrations of nitrogen sources and KH2PO4 in the medium markedly decreased mannitol yield in spite of good utilization of the substrate. T. mannitofaciens produced mannitol in yield of 31% of the glycerol consumed at optimal condition. The fermentation by washed yeast cells gave much higher mannitol yield of more than 50%. A sequential fermentation process was carried out without isolation and purification of the intermediate and yielded.51.7%. D-fructose from the glycerol.

    Notes: Growth and lactic acid production by L. delbrueckii was studied in a dialysis culture system and the inhibitory effect of lactate confirmed by removing lactate from the culture medium by dialysis. It has been shown that lactate inhibits growth after the log phase and that the maintenance of low lactate concentrations after this point permits higher specific growth rates and higher maximum cell concentrations. Acid production is also significantly higher in a dialysis culture system. Finally, a modification of the Luedeking-Piret model, incorporating the lactate inhibition effect, is proposed.

    Notes: Extended culture, a special type of semicontinuous culture, permits prolonged maintenance of a constant or programmed environment in a growing culture by a controlled addition of one or more substrates. Differences between extended culture and continuous culture data are a measure of differences in the properties of cell populations with different cell age distributions but identical steady-state environments. Both extended culture and continuous culture were used to study the growth kinetics of Candida utilis (ATCC 9226) under conditions of substrate inhibition at controlled concentrations of sodium acetate in a carbon-limited mineral salts medium supplemented with 0.01 g/1 yeast extract. Acetate concentrations ranged from 1.2 g/l to 10.8 g/l (expressed as acetic acid), while yeast concentrations varied from 0.3 to 7.8 (g dry cells)/1. Rate parameters such as growth yields (Y), specific growth rates (μ), and linear growth rates (K), were calculated by computer from the data and theory presented herein. Specific growth rates as high as 0.54/hr were observed, although extended culture growth was more nearly linear than exponential in these experiments. Growth yields usually varied between 0.2 and 0.4 (g dry cells)/(g acetate), although values were as high as 0.8 for a brief period during one experiment. Growth yields at a given acetate concentration were correlated by an equation of the form 1/Y = 1/YG + m/μ. A maintenance coefficient (m) of 0.17 (g acetate)/(g dry cell-hr) was observed at acetate concentrations of 4.5 and 10. g/1. A typical maximum growth yield (YG) of 0.51 (g dry cell)/(g acetate) was obtained at 4.5 g/1 acetate, but an unusually high YG of 1.33 was found at 10. g/1 acetate. Oxygen uptake measurements are compared with these cell yield measurements. Linear growth rates in expended culture were correlated by the equation K = 0.89-0.70 (S/S0) where K has units of (g dry cell)/(l-hr), S is the instantaneous acetate concentration, and S0 is the initial acetate concentration. The extended culture kinetic data are shown to be substantially different from continuous culture kinetic data. Reason for these differences are discussed in light of diffrences in the cell age distributions, as well as possible differences in experimental conditions.

    Notes: Enzymes subjected to shearing in a viscometer are partially inactivated. It is possible with viscometry to calculate the degree of inactivation that occura when an enzyme solution flows through a capillary tube. When shear rate × exposure time is less than 104, there is little or no inactivation.The masa average shear-rate × time or shear, for laminar flow in a cylindrical tube is simply 16L/3D. It is surprising that for a single pass through a tube, the masa average shear is independent of flow rate and shear rate.

    Notes: Microscope electrophoresis was used to measure the electrophoretic mobility of polystyrene latex particles and bacterial, and mammalian tissue cells. The submicroscopic hydrophilic colloids (gelatin, serum albumin, and staphylococcal enterotoxin B) were adsorbed on latex carrier particles to determine their electrophoretic mobility and the effect of concentration, pH, electrolyte addition, and buffer ionic strength. Mobility curves as a function of pH were established for latex particles at 1 ppm concentration indicating an isoelectric point (IEP) at pH 3.6. The IEP for Escherichia coli B cells was measured at pH 2.8, Serratia marcescens at pH 2.6, Bacillus subtilis var. niger at pH 2.9, and L strain mouse fibroblast cells at pH 4.4. Using an adsorption technique, isoelectric points were measured for proteins: gelatin (acid form) at pH 9.4, serum albumin at pH 4.9, and staphylococcal enterotoxin B at pH 6.3.Procefures for examining electrophoretic characteristics of microscopic and submicroscopic biological particles are described in order to standardize procedures and to generate results applicable to an understanding of parameters influencing concentration and purification of colloidal biological particles.

    Notes: Glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Candida utilis were cultivated at various pH levels (3.0-7.5), temperatures (15-37.5°C), dilution rates (0.06-0.42 hr-1), and with different nitrogen sources (NH4+ and NO3-). The ratio of total nucleic acid to protein increased with increase in dilution rate at constant temperature and decreased with increase in temperature at constant dilution rate. The pattern of these variations is consistent with the hypothesis that the nucleic acid to protein ratio is a function of the ratio of the actual dilution rate to the critical dilution rate corresponding to each one of the cultivation temperatures. This ratio is called “reduced dilution rate.” A basis is proposed on which various microorganisms may be compared with respect to the ratios of cell protein to nucleic acid, RNA, ribosomal RNA, and polysomes.

    Notes: Enzymes can be encapsulated within a semipermeable membrane which allows reactants to enter and the products to diffuse out. The mass transport from the external fluid to the membrane and the combined mass transport and biochemical reaction from the membrane inwards can be modeled with recognized formulations; measurements of the overall reaction rate lead then to estimates of the permeability of the membrane itself.With capsules enclosing catalase, the permeability of collodion membranes to H2O2 is found to be large (〈2 × 10-2cm/sec) in comparison to rates in the other two diffusion zones. For this first-order reaction system, an analytical solution to the transient case of the well-stirred finite bath is found using the Laplace transform. With capsules enclosing urease, the nonlinear Michaelis-Menten kinetics apply to the enzymatic step. The steady-state operation of a column packed with urease microcapsules is analyzed with the aid of numerical computation and the membrane permeability for urea is found to be 10-3cm/sec.

    Notes: The predation of bacteria by protozoan in both continuous and batch cultures was studied using experimental and modeling techniques. The predator organism was the ciliate, Tetrahymena pyriformis. The bacterium, Aerobacter aerogenes, served as the prey. Several batch growth responses were observed each initiated at a different nutrient level. Continuous cultures were conducted over a range of dilution rates. The models studied were partially successful in simulating the empirical data. Deviations between the model and the actual population behavior are discussed and possible explanations for the differences proposed.

    Notes: The kinetics of C. tropicalis growth were investigated with pure n-hexadecane as dispersed phase substrate. Two distinct growth phases were found: In the first phase, exponential growth was independent of stirrer speed. The onset of the second phase, one of linear growth, was determined by stirrer speed. By the use of two different fermenter types, it was shown that the drop size of the dispersed phase was not primarily responsible for the observed kinetics. It was considered that the formation of biological flocs determined the observed growth pattern. This was substantiated by the results of continuous cultures in the different fermenter types, with various substrate concentrations.

    Notes: A new correlation is given for the prediction of the volumetric coefficient for mass transfer (KLa) in stirred tanks from dispersed gas bubbles to basal salt solutions of ionic strengths representative of fermentation media. The correlation includes the effects of both the operating parameters (agitation power per unit volume and gas superficial velocity) and the physicochemical properties of the system: interfacial tension, viscosity, density, diffusion, coefficient and, in particular, ionic strength. The effect of the latter was found to be most significant in the Newtonian systems of water-like viscosity investigated; no previous correlations have included the effect of ionic strength. KLa values were determined by using a dissolved oxygen probe to monitor the steady-state oxygen tension in continuous flow experiments, and/or the rate of change of oxygen tension in unsteady-state semibatch experiments. In the latter cases, results were computed by a nonlinear, least squares computer program which fitted the experimental data to a model of probe transient response characteristics. The general applicability of the model and the computational procedure was verified by comparing the results to those obtained with the same electrolyte solution in the steady-state mode. The experiments were run over a wide range of agitation power inputs, including those typical of both soluble- and insoluble-substrate fermentations. The correlation appears to be valid for both oxygen mass transfer with and without homogeneous chemical reaction in the liquid phase; in the former case, for example, sulfite oxidation, knowledge of the chemical reaction enhancement factor is required. In addition to predicting oxygen transfer capabilities, the correlation may be used for other sparingly soluble gases of interest in fermentation systems, such as methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide.

    Notes: Barely β-amylase (α-1,4-glucan maltohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.2) has been immobilized by covalent fixation to amino derivatives of epichlorohydrin crosslinked Sepharose mediated by cyclohexyl isocyanide and acetaldehyde. The enzyme conjugates contain up to 35% of the total activity of the β-amylase added to the coupling mixture. The profiles of activity versus pH and ionic strength are essentially the same for free and immobilized β-amylase, whereas the resistance to inactivation during storage and use is considerably enhanced by immobilization. Columns with immobilized β-amylase have been used for continuous degradation of starch. At 45°C, half of the initial activity remains after seven weeks, and the corresponding figure at 23°C is 85 percent.

    Notes: 5′Xanthylic acid was efficiently converted to 5′guanine nucleotides (5′GMP, 5′GDP, and 5′GTP) without being degraded to guanine via 5′GMP by decoyinine resistant mutants of strain KY 13315 which had been isolated from Brevibacterium ammoniagenes and was practically devoid of 5′nucleotide degrading activity. The concentration of phosphate in the medium showed a profound effect on the ratio of the accumulated 5′guanine nucleotides, making it possible to direct the fermentation towards 5′GMP or 5′GTP. A direct accumulation of 5′guanine nucleotides from carbohydrate was possible by mixed cultivation of a 5′XMP accumulating strain and a 5′XMP converting mutant. A maximum concentration of 9.67 mg of 5′guanine nucleotides per ml was obtained directly from glucose in such a mixed culture.

    Notes: Of 24 different polymer and surfactant materials examined, a carboxypolymethylene (“Carbopol”) was found to cause enhancement of respiration rates in an Aspergillus niger culture by as much as 200%. Enhancement of other fermentation parameters, such as cellular growth and amylase production, was also observed.The enhancement effects of Carbopol were examined with clusters of spores and mold pellets. In the first case, it appears that the ionized carboxyl groups of Carbopol induced electrostatic repulsion among the spores thus initiating pulp growth with increased interfacial area of contact between the mold and the nutrient medium. In the second case, the Carbopol additive formed a thin film attached to the surface of the pellets which seemed to be responsible for an increased rate of potassium transport and, hence, fermentation yields. Additive utilization as substrate and physiological changes in the culture were not observed in these cases.It was also found that the probability of pellet formation, the size of pellets formed, and the number of spores per pellet can be correlated to the energy input to the fermentation system.

    Notes: The steady state, nonlinear diffusion equations which describe reactions in constrained enzyme solutions are of great interest in many biological and engineering applications. As in other types of nonlinear differential equations, exact analytical solutions do not exist except in some simplified cases. In this paper, a general procedure is presented for solving numerically for the substrate concentration profile and effectiveness factor utilizing the transformation method suggested by Na and Na. Design correlations for enzyme solutions constrained within spherical membranes are included. The use of a unique definition of the Thiele Modulus in these charts permits the clear illustration of the effects of substrate concentration and external mass transfer resistances on the overall effectiveness factor for the catalyst particle.

    Notes: Studies are reviewed on the composition of hemolymph from Japanese beetle larvae, Popillia japonica. This research was conducted to determine the chemical environment required for sporulation of the milky disease organism, Bacillus popilliae. Amino acids, proteins, organic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and oxygen content were determined in hemolymph from healthy and diseased larvae. Oxygen content of hemolymph was measured by microelectrodes implanted in the hemocoel of living larvae. Vegetative growth of the pathogen reduces the dissolved oxygen; however, as sporulation occurs, oxygen concentration approaches normal values. Trehalose, the major hemolymph sugar, is reduced by ca. 50% during the course of milky disease. Neutral lipids, phospholipids, and hydrocarbons decrease markedly with infection. Both branched-chain and normal alkanes occur in hemolymph. Milky disease causes an increase in concentration of pyruvic, malic, glycolic, tartaric, and glyoxylic acids. The major hemolymph protein, a lipoglycoprotein, has a mol. wt. of ca. 500,000. Reduced concentration of this protein is accompanied by the appearance of a smaller protein. Amino acids that increase significantly as a result of infection are: Glutamic acid, aspartic acid, β-alanine, phenylalanine, threonine, lysine, and serine. Hemolymph contains few peptides of low molecular weight.

    Notes: Cellulase production by strains of Myrothecium verrucaria, Stachybotrys atra and Trichoderma viride was examined. Myrothecium verrucaria was found to give the greatest yields. A variety of media were examined as potential substrates for the industrial production of cellulase. The salts content of the medium was varied and was found to affect cellulase production. Glucose, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), filter paper and three industrial wastes were examined as possible cellulase inducers. Filter paper was found to be the most effective, followed by sugar cane bagasse and CMC.

    Notes: The validity of regarding the liquid phase in vigorously agitated sparged fermenters during the cultivation of single-celled aerobic microorganisms as essentially homogeneous is examined. Droplet formation from bursting bubbles and physical effects of the spray environment on single-celled microorganisms are discussed. The implications of droplet removal from the head space of fermenters by collision with and drainage down the walls are considered, particularly factors concerned with wall growth above the liquid level in fermenters.

    Notes: One of the main reasons for immobilizing an enzyme is to enable its reuse, or continuous use, in a reactor. Consequently immobilized enzyme stability is an important factor in enzyme reactor design. The performance of the reactor will decrease if during operation the support material disintegrates into smaller particles that pass out of the reactor system.When β-galactosidase is immobilized by covalent attachment to AE-cellulose, the smaller particles have a higher activity. After subjection of the immobilized enxyme to a shear stress the average particle size decreases and the total enzymic activity increases. A loss of small particles from the reactor, although constituting a small weight percent loss of support, will result in a disproportionately large loss in activity. The relevance of these observations to reactor performance is discussed.
