In this study the thermo-resistant green alga Micractinium sp. ME05 was cultivated in media containing molasses as a carbon source. Shake flask experiments and 2-L bioreactor experiments were conducted at different inoculum ratios, aeration rates, and agitation speeds. The experimental condition which resulted in the highest biomass concentration (3.73 +/- 0.45 g L-1) with 10% inoculum in 500-mL flasks was scaled up to 2-L flasks at two aeration rates (0.25 and 0.5 L min(-1)). An increase in biomass concentration from 2.35 +/- 0.53 to 3.06 +/- 0.21 g L-1 was observed with an increase of aeration rate from 0.25 to 0.50 L min(-1), which demonstrated significant effect of aeration rate on biomass concentration (p = 0.000 < 0.05). In 2-L bioreactor experiments, highest biomass productivity (0.53 +/- 0.076 g L-1 day(-1)) and lipid productivity (7.7 +/- 1.6 g L-1 day(-1)) were obtained with 5% (v/v) inoculum and 50 rpm agitation speed. The principal fatty acids were palmitic acid (C16:0) and linoleic acid (C18:2) comprising 30.2 +/- 1.01 and 45.2 +/- 1.32% of the total fatty acid content, respectively. Thus, the present study highlights the possibility of using molasses for biomass and lipid production with Micractinium sp. ME05 under different cultivation conditions. Using low cost feedstock such as molasses would be valuable in terms of evaluating waste materials for further biodiesel production.

Enhancement of Heterotrophic Biomass Production by Micractinium sp ME05 Engin, Iskin Kose; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2018-05-01) In this study, heterotrophic growth conditions for Micractinium sp. ME05 cells were investigated for the improvement of biomass production. Plackett Burman (PB) method was used to screen process variables, namely, pH, carbon source and yeast extract concentrations, temperature and inoculum ratio, that affect the biomass production. The Box-Behnken (BB) design of response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to evaluate the interaction effect of process variables and to optimize them. The biomass obtained f...
Bioproduction, structure elucidation and in vitro antiproliferative effect of eumelanin pigment from Streptomyces parvus BSB49 Bayram, Sinan; Dengiz, Çağatay; GERÇEK, Yusuf Can; ÇETİN, İdil; TOPÇUL, Mehmet Rıfkı (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01) In this study, the structure of the purified extracellular eumelanin pigment isolated from Streptomyces spp. was elucidated by detailed analysis via two different spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR and NMR). In vitro antiproliferative effects of eumelanin were evaluated on HeLa cell line. These experiments were carried out with the evaluation of the parameters including cell viability, cell index, and mitotic index. With the cell viability and cell index, IC50 concentration of eumelanin was determined as 10 μM...
DNA fingerprinting and genetic characterization of Anatolian Triticum spp. using AFLP markers Yildirim, Figen; Akkaya, Mahinur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-08-01) In this study, genetic analysis of Triticum spp. was carried out using AFLP markers. Six AFLP selective combinations were scored as presence and absence of bands for all the individual samples obtained from a single seed of each accession (70 accessions); T. baeoticum (21), T. monococcum (5), T. urartu (16), T. araraticum (7), T. dicoccoides (16) and T. dicoccon (5), resulting in 506 polymorphic AFLP bands. The phylogenetic tree showed two major clusters; one was composed of T. monococcum (AA) and T. baeoti...
Charaterization and indentification of bacteriocins from two lactococcus lactis subs lactis strains Akçelik, Oya; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biotechnology (2004) In this study, bacteriocins from two L. lactis subsp. lactis isolates of Turkey origin designated OC1 and OC2, respectively, were characterized and identified. The activity spectra of the bacteriocins were determined by using different indicator bacteria including Listeria, Bacillus and Staphylococcus spp. Bacteriocins were tested for their sensitivity to different enzymes, heat treatments and pH values. Loss of bacteriocin activities after ?-amylase treatment suggested that they form aggregates with carboh...
Leaf anatomy of five species of limonium mill. (plumbaginaceae Bal, Zeynep; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biological Sciences (2011) In this study, leaf anatomies of five species of Limonium Mill. (L. echioides, L. globuliferum, L. tamaricoides, L. anatolicum and L. Sinuatum) are studied. Taca belonging to five different sections of the genus Limonium as; L. echioides of the section Schizyhymenium, L. globuliferum of the section Sphaerostachys, L. tamaricoides of the section Limonium, L. anatolicum of the section Sarcophyllum and L. sinuatum of the section Pteroclados are used in this study. Throughout the species studied, L. tamaricoide...
