In this study, the effects of oxygen transfer (OT) on beta-lactamase production and on intracellular reaction rates were investigated with Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 2597. In order to clarify the oxygen transfer effects on the production of beta-lactamase, firstly a glucose based defined medium was designed and using this medium, the effects of bioreactor operation parameters, i.e., pH and temperature, on beta-lactamase activity and cell formation were investigated in laboratory scale batch-bioreactors using shake bioreactors having V=33 ml working volumes. Among the investigated bioprocess conditions, the highest beta-lactamase activity was obtained as A=115 U cm-3, in the medium with 7.0 kg m-3 glucose, 7.1 kg m-3 (NH4)2HPO4 and the salt solution, at pH0=7.5, T=37C, N=200 min-1. At the optimum conditions found in laboratory scale the effects of OT on cell generation, substrate consumption, product (beta-lactamase) and by-products formations were investigated at three different air inlet (Q0/ VR = 0.2, 0.5 and 1 vvm) and at three agitation rates (N=250, 500, 750 min-1) in V = 3.0 dm3 batch bioreactors consisting of temperature, pH, foam, stirring rate and dissolved oxygen controls. Along with the fermentation, cell, substrate and by-product concentrations, beta-lactamase activity, yield coefficients, specific rates, oxygen uptake rates and the liquid phase mass transfer coefficient values were determined. The highest beta-lactamase activity was obtained at 0.5 vvm 500 min-1 and at 0.2 vvm 500 min-1 conditions as ca. A=90 U cm-3 while the highest cell concentration was obtained as Cx=0.67 kg m-3 at 0.5 vvm 750 min-1 and at 0.2 vvm 750 min-1 conditions. KLa, increased with the increase in the agitation and aeration rates and its values varied between 0.007-0.044 s-1 and oxygen uptake rate varied between 0.4-1.6 mol m-3 s-1. Finally, the influence of OT conditions on

Regulatory gene effects on recombinant human growth hormone production by Bacillus subtilis Şahin, Merve; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010) In this study, regulatory gene effects on recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Bacillus subtilis were investigated. For this purpose, firstly Bacillus strains, which are deficient in abrB, aprE, degQ, degS, degU, scoC, sinI, sinR, and spo0A genes, were selected according to the regulatory gene network of aprE gene (serine alkaline protease gene of B. subtilis) since due to the degQ promoter and the pre-signal sequence of subC gene cloned in front of the hGH gene, hGH is produced by mimickin...
Obtaining durable enzyme powder via spray drying Namaldı, Ayşegül; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) Serine alkaline protease (SAP, EC 3.4.21.62) produced by Bacillus species, that are the microbioreactors within the bioreactors, is one of the major industrial enzymes. In this study, after production by Recombinant Bacillus subtilis (BGSC-1A751), carrying pHV1431::subc gene in the complex media and separation of solids, SAP was dried by using a spray drier. Experiments were performed to investigate the stabilization of SAP during spray drying and subsequent storage. Initially, the effect of air inlet tempe...
Studies on selective adsorption of aqueous glucose or fructose on various cationic forms of Zeolite Y Yeşiltepe, Suat Bora; Kıncal, N. Suzan; Department of Biotechnology (2006) The equilibria of adsorption on calcium and hydrogen forms of zeolite Y by equimolar solutions of 12.5 %, 20%, 25%, 30% and 35% w/v of mixtures of glucose, G and fructose, F; also the non-equimolar mixtures of 20% w/v glucose - 30% w/v fructose, 30% w/v glucose - 20% w/v fructose, 25% w/v glucose 35% w/v fructose, and 35% w/v glucose-25% w/v fructose solutions, which were prepared 24 hours in advance at the experimental temperature, have been studied batch wise at 50ºC. Glucose adsorption, in solutions tha...
Effect of starvation on the adhesive properties of xenobiotic degrading bacteria Sanin, SL; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Bryers, JD (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-31) The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of different starvation conditions on the surface characteristics and adhesive properties of bacteria. Three pure culture xenobiotic degrading bacteria were used in this study: Pseudomonas sp. strain A, Pseudomonas sp. strain D and Rhodococcus corallinus strain 11. These microorganisms were selected for to their ability to degrade cyanuric acid, which is a derivative of s-Triazine, a common herbicide. These microorganisms were separately starved for carbo...
Role of intracellular poroelasticity on freezing-induced deformation of cells in engineered tissues Ghosh, Soham; Özçelikkale, Altuğ; Dutton, J. Craig; Han, Bumsoo (The Royal Society, 2016-10-01) Freezing of biomaterials is important in a wide variety of biomedical applications, including cryopreservation and cryosurgeries. For the success of these applications to various biomaterials, biophysical mechanisms, which determine freezing-induced changes in cells and tissues, need to be well understood. Specifically, the significance of the intracellular mechanics during freezing is not well understood. Thus, we hypothesize that cells interact during freezing with the surroundings such as suspension medi...
