The effects of Ni(II), substrate and initial biomass concentrations on biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were studied by using an electrolytic respirometer. The effects of Ni(II) (2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 25.0 mg/l) and substrate (325, 650, 1300 mg/l as chemical oxygen demand) in a synthetic wastewater with differing initial biomass concentrations (1, 10, 100 mg/l) were investigated. The biomass-to-metal ratio was found to be the most important parameter affecting the measured BOD values. The maximum specific growth rates were calculated and the results of batch respirometric experiments were analysed both by graphical and statistical methods. In statistical analyses, a factorial experimental design approach was followed and results were treated by multiple regression techniques. A mathematical model was developed to express the maximum oxygen uptake in terms of nickel, substrate and initial biomass concentrations and their magnitudes of their effects were compared. The biomass-to-metal ratio was found to be very significant so that another model that expresses oxygen uptake in relation to the biomass-to-metal ratio and also to substrate concentration was developed. Finally, the effect of Ni(II) was demonstrated to depend on both substrate and initial biomass concentrations. This effect was stimulatory at low concentrations of Ni(II). and complete inhibition was never observed even at the highest concentration of Ni(II) studied, which was 25.0 mg/l.

Influence of oxygen transfer on benzaldehyde lyase production by recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) pLySs Angardi, Vahideh; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) In this study, the effects of oxygen transfer conditions on the synthesis of the enzyme benzaldehyde lyase as intracellular in recombinant E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS was investigated sistematically and a comprehensive model was developed to determine benzaldehyde lyase activity. For this purpose, the research program was carried out in mainly two parts. In the first part of study, the effects of oxygen transfer together with the mass transfer coefficient (KLa), enhancement factor E (=KLa/KLao), volumetric oxy...
Effect of H2O and SO2 on the activity of Pd/TiO2 catalysts in catalytic reduction of NO with methane in the presence of oxygen MITOME, Junko; Karakaş, Gürkan; Bryan, Kimberly A.; Ozkan, Umit S. (1998-06-18) Effect of H2O and SO2 on the NO reduction activity of the Pd/titania catalysts was examined in the NO+CH4+O-2 reaction. Steady-state and transient response experiments were performed using a tubular flow reactor. Isotopically labeled methane, (CH4)-C-13, was used in studying the transient behavior of the catalytic system. Reactor effluents were analyzed by using gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and chemiluminescense techniques. Steady-state reaction experiments showed that the catalyst has a high acti...
Effects of bioreactor operation parameters on intracellular reaction rate distribution in beta-lactamase production by bacillus species Arifoğlu, Müge; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004) 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 usi...
EFFECT OF TANNIC ACID ON GLUTATHIONE S-TRANSFERASE AND NAD(P)H: QUINONE OXIDOREDUCTASE 1 ENZYMES IN RABBIT LIVER AND KIDNEY KARAKURT, SERDAR; Adalı, Orhan (2011-01-01) Glutathione S-transferase and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 enzymes have important roles in detoxification and also activation of a wide variety of chemicals. Moreover, resistance of tumor cells against chemotherapeutic agents has been implicated in GST activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of polyphenolic compound tannic acid on rabbit liver and kidney glutathione S-transferase and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 enzyme activities. Tannic acid was found to be a potent inhibi...
Effects of Isoflurane, Halothane, and Chloroform on the Interactions and Lateral Organization of Lipids in the Liquid-Ordered Phase Türkyılmaz, Serhan; Regen, Steven L. (2011-12-06) The first quantitative insight has been obtained into the effects that volatile anesthetics have on the interactions and lateral organization of lipids in model membranes that mimic "lipid rafts". Specifically, nearest-neighbor recogntion measurements, in combination with Monte Carlo simulations, have been used to investigate the action of isoflurane, halothane, and chloroform on the compactness and lateral organization of cholesterol-rich bilayers of 1,2-dipalmitoylsn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in the...
