In this study, heavy metal biosorption potentials of two white-rot fungi, Polyporous versicolor and Phanarochaete chrysosporium, which are commonly used in wastewater treatment were determined. Biosorption studies were performed for Cu(II), Cr(III), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) at the same operational conditions and the effectiveness of both fungi at removing these heavy metals was compared. It was found that both P. versicolor and P. chrysosporium were the most effective in removing Pb(II) from aqeous solutions with maximum biosorption capacities of 57.5 and 110 mg Pb(II)/g dry biomass, respectively. With P. versicolor, the adsorptive capacity order was determined to be Pb(II)>Ni(II)>Cr(III)>Cd(II)>Cu(II) whereas the order was Pb(II)>Cr(III)>Cu(II)=Cd(II)>Ni(II) with P. chrysosporium. As a general trend, metal removal efficiency with these fungi decreased as the initial metal ion concentration increased.

Biological network modelling based on differentially expressed proteins in a bacilysin-deficient strain of bacillus subtilis Kutnu, Meltem; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019) Bacillus subtilis is a non-pathogenic, Gram-positive organism which is known for producing a broad range of secondary metabolites with pharmacological and antimicrobial activities. The dipeptide bacilysin is one of the many antibiotics synthesized by certain strains of B. subtilis, and it is composed of L-alanine and the non-proteinogenic amino acid L-anticapsin. Earlier silencing studies by our group have suggested that bacilysin acts as a pleiotropic molecule on its host. Therefore, the absence or lack of...
Bioflocculation of activated sludge: The role of calcium ions and extracellular polymers Sanin, Faika Dilek (Informa UK Limited, 2000-12-01) In an attempt to identify the bioflocculation mechanisms, this study examines the role of calcium ions in flocculation of activated sludge. Two calcium specific chelants, ethylenebis (oxyethylenenitrilo)tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and sodium hexametaphosphate (HMT) are used to extract calcium ions. Both chemicals successfully extract the calcium ions from sludge structure, which is confirmed either by an increase in solution calcium concentration or by a decrease in calcium concentration in the sludge solid mat...
Polyethylene oxide-hydroxyapatite composite and microporous polyethylene oxide-polymethacrylic acid polymer complex preparation and characterization Banat, Raid M I; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Chemistry (2002) The first part of this study covers the crosslinking of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and its composite with calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) and their mechanical, swelling and morphological properties. Sheets of neat PEO (two different molecular weights) and composites of PEO-HA were prepared by compression molding. The composites and PEO thick sheets were crosslinked with exposure of UV- irradiation in presence of acetophenone (AP) for different periods of time. This simple method of crosslinking, UV-irradiation in...
Fermentation and oxygen transfer characteristics in serine alkaline protease production by recombinant Bacillus subtilis in molasses-based complex medium Calik, G; Pehlivan, N; Ozcelik, IS; Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (Wiley, 2004-11-01) Serine alkaline protease (SAP) production in a complex medium based on physically pretreated molasses by recombinant Bacillus subtilis carrying pHV1431::subC gene is described. The effects of oxygen transfer were investigated in 3.5 dm(3) bioreactor systems with controls for agitation rate, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and foam formation under two different agitation rates, ie N = 500 and 750 min(-1), and four different air flow rates, ie Q/V-R = 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 vvm, at a molasses concentration...
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...
