Enhancement of Heterotrophic Biomass Production by Micractinium sp ME05

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 from PB design was 1.07 g/L and pH, temperature and carbon source concentration were selected based on their positive effect on biomass production. Applying response optimizer tool of RSM, the highest biomass obtained was 2.08 g/L. The results revealed that a 1.9-fold increase in biomass concentration was achieved by manipulating cultivation conditions which would be valuable for large scale cost efficient industrial applications of biomass production.

Heterotrophic growth and oil production from Micractinium sp. ME05 using molasses
Engin, Iskin Kose; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2018-12-01)
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 concent...
Growth of agriculturally important Pseudomonas spp. and Azotobacter Chroococcum on beer waste and observation of their survival in peat
Abat, Benek; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2006)
In this study agriculturally important Pseudomonas spp. which may solubilize phosphate and Azotobacter chroococcum which can fix atmospheric nitrogen were grown on waste beer with 4 different concentrations and conditions for best growth were determined. Having potential of use as biofertilizers, they were put in the carrier material peat and survivals of them were observed for 3 months at three different temperatures. Biofertilizer can be defined as a substance which contains living microorganisms which, w...
Induced CYP1A mRNA, protein and catalytic activity in the liver of feral fish, leaping mullet, Liza saliens
Arinc, E; Kocabıyık, Semra; Su, E (2001-02-01)
In this study, we examined whether levels of P4501A mRNA expression were naturally induced in feral fish, Liza saliens, and whether CYP1A protein levels and associated enzyme activity, EROD, were also increased. Induction of mRNA was measured using a nucleic acid hybridization technique. For the hybridization studies, a new 33-mer oligonucleotide probe 5 ' -dCTC ATC CAG CTT CCT GTC CTC GCA GTG ATC AAT-3 ' was designed, which corresponded to the totally conserved amino acid motif of CYP1A protein from positi...
Characterization of bacteriocins from two Lactococcus lactis subsp lactis isolates
Akcelik, O; Tukel, C; Özcengiz, Gülay; Akcelik, M (Wiley, 2006-03-01)
In this study, bacteriocins from two Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis isolates from raw milk samples in Turkey 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 alpha-amylase treatment suggested that they...
Investigation of bioreactor operation conditions for serine alkaline protease production by Bacillus subtilis
Özdemir, Elif; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003)
In this study, complex medium was designed for increasing serine alkaline protease (SAP) production by recombinant Bacillus sp. In this context, the effects of glucose, sucrose, inorganic nitrogen source, casein, defatted soybean, and molasses and their concerted effects were investigated in agitation (N=200 min"1) and heating rate (T=37°C) controlled laboratory scale bioreactors. For this purpose, experiments were started by microorganism selection. It was found that, most suitable microorganism for comple...
