    Notes: Optimal conditions for solid substrate fermentation of wheat straw with Chaetomium cellulolyticum in laboratory-scale stationary layer fermenters were developed. The best pretreatment for wheat straw was ammonia freeze explosion, followed by steam treatment, alkali treatment, and simple autoclaving. The optimal fermentation conditions were 80% (w/w) moisture content; incubation temperature of 37°C; 2% (w/w) unwashed mycelial inoculum; aeration at 0.12 L/h/g; substrate thickness of 1 to 2 cm; and duration of three days. Technical parameters for this optimized fermentation were: degree of substance utilization, 27.2%; protein yield/substrate, 0.09 g; biomass yield/bioconverted substrate, 0.40 g; degree of bioconversion of total available sugars in the substrate, 60.5%; specific efficiency of bioconversion, 70.8%; and overall efficiency of biomass production from substrate, 42.7%. Mixed culturing of Candida utilis further increased biomass production by 20%. The best mode of fermentation was a semicontinuous fed-batch fermentation where one-half of the fermented material was removed at three-day intervals and replaced by fresh substrate. In this mode, protein production was 20% higher than in batch mode, protein productivity was maintained over 12 days, and sporulation was prevented.

    Notes: More than 90% of initial pyritic sulfur was removed from bituminous coal samples (containing 2.1% pyritic sulfur) using the thermophilic organism Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. Microbial desulfurization rate was improved nearly ten fold by adjusting the N/P and N/Mg ratios in the nutrient medium. Environmental conditions were optimized. The optimal values of temperature and pH were 70°C and 1.5, respectively. The influence of certain process variables (such as coal pulp density, particle size, and initial cell number density) on the rate of pyritic sulfur removal were determined. A pulp density of 20%, particle size of D¯p 〈 48 μm, and an initial cell number density of 1012 cells/g pyrite in coal were found to be optimal. The carbon dioxide enriched air did not improve the rate of pyritic sulfur removal compared to pure air at 10% pulp density of coal samples containing 2.1% pyritic sulfur. The kinetics of microbial leaching of pyritic sulfur from coal was investigated. The rate of leaching was found to be first order with respect to pyritic sulfur concentration in the reaction medium.

    Notes: The stability of downflow stationary fixed-film (DSFF) reactors was evaluated under extreme organic shock loads. Reactors could handle five- to sevenfold increases in organic loading and recover to normal performance in a relatively short period of time (usually 24-72 h) during treatment of well-buffered sucrose and acetic acid wastewater at 27 and 35°C. Overloading was characterized by elevated volatile-acid concentrations, decreased reactor pH, and excess biofilm sloughing. Reactors could not cope with extreme organic shocks during treatment of poorly buffered sucrose wastewater. The pH of the mixed liquor was observed to be a more important factor than the volatile-acid concentration in determining whether DSFF reactors would recover in a reasonable period of time.

    Synergistic action of α-amylase and glucoamylase on hydrolysis of starch (1985)

    Notes: Synergistic action of α-amylase and glucoamylase on hydrolysis of starch is modeled by the kinetic equations presented in this paper. At the early stage of the reaction α-amylase acts as a contributor of newly formed nonreducing ends of starch molecules to glucoamylase by splitting the original starch molecules. This is expressed by the simultaneous differential equations which consist of each rate equation for α-amylase and glucoamylase. After the molecular weight of the substrate decreases to the value of about 5000, which is obtained experimentally in this work, the action of α-amylase can be neglected and the rate of formation of glucose obeys only the rate equation for glucoamylase.

    Notes: Continuous cultivation of Pelobacter acidigallici on gallic acid is accompanied by biofilm formation. Steady states can be obtained at dilution rates nearly twice the maximum growth rate. A two-compartment model is presented which allows us to determine rate constants of attachment and detachment. The model is based on the assumption that the biofilm is fully penetrated by the substrate. At high dilution rates the outcome of our experiments is mainly determined by the attachment rate. The influence of the thickness of the biofilm is discussed in order to demonstrate the limitations of the model.

    Enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation of corn for fuel alcohol (1985)

    Notes: The integration of enzyme saccharification with fermentation reduces the total time required to produce acceptable levels of ethanol. The use of a more concentrated mash (84.8 L total mash/bu corn) results in a 26.6% increase in ethanol productivity and a 21.4% increase in beer ethanol concentration compared to standard corn mash (96.6 L total mash/bu corn). Thus, the energy requirement and cost of distillation can be reduced. The addition of waste cola syrup at 30 g invert sugar/L total mash gave a 19% increase in ethanol concentration in the final beer and required only a small increase in the period of fermentation. Surplus laundry starch can replace 30-50% of the weight of corn normally used in fermentation without influencing ethanol production or the time required for fermentation. Both of these waste materials reduce the unit cost of ethanol and demonstrate the value of such substances in ethanol systems.

    Dried calcium alginate/magnetite spheres: A new support for chromatographic separations and enzyme immobilization (1985)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Dried spheres made from an alginate solution containing magnetite particles have excellent potential as a support for enzyme immobilization and chromatographic applications. The beads were found to be much stronger than gels such as polyacrylamide and dextran, indicating that high flow rates and pressures could be used in column separations. The support withstood not only temperatures of up to 120°C, but also most pH values and common solvents. While some solutions, such as phosphate buffers, dissolved the spheres, stabilization with Tyzor TE® eliminated this problem. The physical properties of the beads include a glasslike density of 2.2 g/mL, excellent sphericity, low porosity, and a narrow size distribution. The magnetite present in the support allows the beads to be used for magnetic separations such as high gradient magnetic filtration. Their high degree of microroughness provides a large exposed surface area for enzyme and ligand binding. Mixed Actinomyces fradiae proteases and Aspergillus niger α-amylase, two enzymes representative of classes which attack large substrates, were immobilized on the bead's surface with high activity and stability. A cyanuric dye which can be used in chromatographic applications (Cibacron Blue F3GA®) was also readily coupled to the surface of this support with good yield. The support should have a wide range of applications in bioseparation and immobilized biochemical technology.

    Notes: The integrated rate equation of Huang, originally used to describe the hydrolysis of insoluble acid treated cellulose, is shown equally applicable in describing the hydrolysis of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) using a dilution series of Cellulomonas sp. ATCC 21399 crude cellulase as enzyme preparation. Interpretation of the progress curves of hydrolysis of CMC according to the integrated rate equation is used to calculate a standard formula for the conversion of the rate of hydrolysis into the initial velocity of hydrolysis. The validity of the standard formula is tested, using enzyme preparations from Cellulomonas grown under varied conditions, and enzyme preparations containing purified endoglucanases from Cellulomonas.

    Notes: Porcine pepsin was immobilized by chemical aggregation using glutaraldehyde as a bifunctional crosslinking agent. The immobilzed pepsin followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Km = 5.3 × 10-5 M) and the yield of immobilization was 91%. The activation energy of the immobilized preparation was 90,613 cal/mol as compared to 67,532 cal/mol for native pepsin. Using acid-denatured hemoglobin and N-acetyl phenyl-alanyl-3, 5-diiodotyrosine (APDT) as substrates, the activities shown by the immobilized pepsin were, respectively, 67 and 79% that of the soluble pepsin. The immobiized pepsin showed marked stabilization against pH, temperature, urea, and guanidine hydrochloride. The activity of the immobilized preparation in the presence of urea was greater when hemoglobin was used as the substrate than when APDT was used as substrate. Storage of the preparation under refrigerated conditions for 160 days showed 58% retention in enzyme activity. The immobilized pepsin can be removed from the reaction mixture volume easily, retaining nearly 100% of its activity even after being used in seven consecutive assays.

    Notes: The effects of four pH steps and one dilution rate step are described for an ammonia-nitrogen-limited continuous culture of Escherichia coli B/r. Two of the pH steps, 6.06-5.49 and 5.96-5.60, led to prolonged transients in both cell density and rate-limiting nutrient concentration. The other two pH steps, 6.20-5.96 and 5.60-6.20, had almost no effect on the culture. The dilution rate step led to a sharp transition in the steady-state external pyruvate concentration. Monitoring of the external pyruvate concentration for the pH 5.96-5.60 step revealed that the transient phase continued long after the cell density and rate-limiting nutrient concentration returned to steady-state values. The implications for industrial and laboratory fermentations are discussed.
