Foam separation is a simple and economic method for separation of surface-active molecules such as proteins and enzymes from aqueous solutions. In this study, lactic acid broth, spent brewer’s yeast extract and residual beer was used to investigate the applicability and efficiency of foam separation technique in partial purification of fermentation products and recovery of valuable components from industrial waste streams. The effects of the process variables initial feed concentration, air flow rate, foaming time, liquid pool height and temperature on separation performance were studied and optimum conditions for removal of proteins from lactic acid broth was determined. Highest enrichment (172.2) and separation ratio (314) with a high protein recovery (45.2 %) were obtained by foaming 200 ml of lactic acid broth with an initial feed concentration of 0.018 mg/ml at an air flow rate of 38.5 cm3/min. Selectivity of foam separation in protein purification, and its effect on protein structure was investigated in brewery wastes using SDS-PAGE and native PAGE, respectively.

Human growth hormone-specific aptamer identification using improved oligonucleotide ligand evolution method
Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, Tuncer H. (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01)
LETEG is a method developed and used for the separation and purification of proteins employing a single-step ligand (aptamers) evolution in which aptamers are eluted with an increasing temperature gradient. Using recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) as the test purification target, and after avoiding cross reactions of aptamers with Bacillus subtilis extracellular proteins by negative SELEX, the effects of time and pH on aptamer binding to rhGH were investigated. The highest binding efficiency of aptamer...
Kinetic analyses of the effects of temperature and light intensity on growth, hydrogenm production and organic acid utilization by rhodobacter capsulatus
Sevinç, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2010)
Effects of temperature and light intensity on photofermentative hydrogen production by Rhodobacter capsulatus DSM1710 by use of acetic and lactic acids as substrates were studied. Experiments were conducted at 20, 30 and 38oC incubator temperatures under light intensities in the 1500 – 7000 lux range. pH of the medium and quantity of hydrogen forming together with quantity of biomass, and concentrations of acetic, lactic, formic, butyric and propionic acids in the medium were determined periodically. Growth...
Affinity purification and characterization of a G-protein coupled receptor, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ste2p
Lee, Byung-Kwon; Jung, Kyung-Sik; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Kini, Heejung; VerBerknioes, Nathan C.; Arshava, Boris; Naider, Fred; Becker, Jeffrey M. (Elsevier BV, 2007-11-01)
We present an example of expression and purification of a biologically active G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) from yeast. An expression vector was constructed to encode the Saccharomyces cerevisiae GPCR a-factor receptor (Ste2p, the STE2 gene product) containing a 9-amino acid sequence of rhodopsin that served as an epitope/affinity tag. In the construct, two glycosylation sites and two cysteine residues were removed to aid future structural and functional studies. The receptor was expressed in yeast cell...
Molecular cloning and co-expression of Thermoplasma volcanium proteasome subunit genes
Kocabıyık, Semra; Zwickl, Peter; Ozdogan, Seda (Elsevier BV, 2010-10-01)
In this study we describe, the construction of a co-expression vector allowing simultaneous production of Thermoplasma volcanium 20S proteasome alpha- and beta-subunits in Escherichia coli. This heterologous expression system provided high level production of fully active 205 proteasome that can be purified easily by using a conventional two-step chromatographic technique. The recombinant proteasome was purified to homogeneity 12-fold with a specific activity of 26.5 U/mg. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylam...
SURVIVAL KINETICS OF LACTIC-ACID STARTER CULTURES DURING AND AFTER FREEZE-DRYING
BOZOGLU, F; OZILGEN, M; BAKIR, U (Elsevier BV, 1987-09-01)
Survival kinetics of lactic acid starter cultures were modeled considering the microorganism and external medium interfacial area as the critical factors determining the resistance of the microorganisms to freeze-drying. Surviving fraction of the microorganisms increased with the increasing biomass concentration during freeze-drying, and this is attributed to the mutual shielding effect of the microorganisms against the severe conditions of the external medium. Survival of the microorganisms over the storag...
