The aim of this study is to investigate effects of oxygen transfer conditions on recombinant glucose isomerase (r-GI) production by Pichia pastoris under glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter (PGAP). Two different sets of operation strategies were investigated in terms of oxygen transfer conditions. In the first one, aeration rate was kept constant at QO/V = 3 vvm, 6 vvm, and 10 vvm while agitation rate was kept at N = 900 rpm; and in the second one, dissolved oxygen concentration was kept constant at CDO = 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 40% air saturation throughout the bioprocesses. In the strategies where oxygen supplementation was relatively high, QO/V = 6 vvm and 10 vvm, excessive abundance of oxygen at the earlier hours of the bioprocesses limited cell growth and GI activity. Regardless of the oxygen transfer conditions, the cell concentration and glucose isomerase activity profiles showed similar trends in each strategy with different highest values. The highest cell concentration was achieved when dissolved oxygen concentration was constant at 20% air saturation as 44 g L-1 at t = 9 h, while the highest recombinant GI activity was achieved when dissolved oxygen concentration was kept constant at 15% saturation as 4440 U L-1 at t = 15 h. The highest overall cell yield on substrate was obtained when the dissolved oxygen concentration was kept at 20% air saturation as 0.48 g cell g-1 substrate, which is the theoretical yield used for the calculation of substrate feeding rate. Lower GI activities were obtained by PGAP compared to alcohol oxidase 1 promoter (PAOX1); however, decrease in fermentation time by more than 3-fold and elimination of methanol usage make PGAP a favorable alternative to PAOX1-driven expression systems.

Longinos, Sotirios Nik; Longinou, Dimitra-Dionisia; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Toktarbay, Zhexenbek (2021-10-01)
This study examines the impact of three amino acids such as proline, methionine and tryptophan on methane (95%)-propane (5%) hydrate formation with the use of different impellers. The concentration of amino acids was 1 wt% at 24.5 bar and 2 degrees C. Based on experimental outcomes proline behaves as inhibitor and methionine and tryptophan perform as promoters. RT experiments both formed more quickly gas hydrates and indicated higher values in rate of hydrate formation compared to PBTU and PBTD experiments ...
The effect of arginine-428 mutation on modulation of activity of human liver flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) by imipramine and chlorpromazine
Adalı, Orhan; Philpot, RM (1999-07-01)
This study was carried out to investigate the molecular basis for modulation of recombinant FMO3-catalyzed activity by the tricyclicantidepressants, imipramine and chlorpromazine. A mutant of human liver FMO3 (T428R) was formed by site-directed mutagenesis and characterized along with the native enzyme in order to elucidate a possible structure-function relationship. Functional properties of native and T428R human FMO3s were studied with methimazole as substrate. Both enzymes catalyzed the S-oxidation of me...
Metabological engineering of Pichia Pastoris for extracellular thermostable glucose isomerase production
Ata, Özge; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
The aim of this study is to develop a metabolically engineered P. pastoris strain for production of an active extracellular thermostable glucose isomerase (GI) enzyme by using genetic engineering techniques. For this purpose, research program was performed in two sub-programs. In the first sub-program, xylA gene from Thermus thermophilus was amplified and inserted into pPICZα-A expression vector. Thereafter, this pPICZα-A::xylA vector was cloned into AOX1 locus in P. pastoris genome and expressed under alco...
The inhibitory effects of lindane in batch and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors
Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01)
In this study, the inhibitory effects of lindane (LIN) on originally unacclimated mixed anaerobic cultures were investigated by anaerobic toxicity assay (ATA) experiments. ATA experiments revealed that 10 mg/l LIN exerted inhibitory effects on anaerobic cultures, which was recoverable. Continuous reactor experiments conducted to determine the inhibitory effects of LIN and the maximum LIN loading rate achievable in two-stage upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors indicated that anaerobic granular cu...

Akgün, Yiğit; Çalık, Pınar; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Department of Chemical Engineering (2018)
The objectives of this thesis are investigation of the effects of oxygen transfer conditions on the recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Pichia pastoris under glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter (PGAP); and, separation and purification of the synthesized and secreted rhGH by zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 adsorbent (ZIF-8). The effects of the oxygen transfer were studied at three conditions at constant dissolved oxygen concentrations (CDO) of CDO= 1%, 5%, and 15%. The highes...
