Effects of medium components on intracellular glucose isomerase (GI) production were investigated by Bacillus thermoantarcticus. The highest GI activity was obtained as 1630 U dm(-3) in the medium containing (g dm(-3)): 10.6, birchwood-xylan: 5.6, yeast extract: 5.9 (NH(4))(2)SO(4) at T = 55 C in 33 cm(-3) shake-flasks. When birchwood-xylan was replaced with oat spelt- or beechwood-xylan, GI activity decreased to 1372 and 1308 U dm(-3). respectively. Effects of pH at uncontrolled-pH (pH(UC) = 6.0) and controlled-pH (pH(C) = 6.0) operations, and oxygen transfer at the all, inlet rate of 0.5vvm and agitation rates of 300, 500 and 700 min(-1), were investigated in 3.0 dm(-3) bioreactor system with 1.65 dm(3) working Volume in the designed medium. The highest GI activity was attained at 500 min(-1), 0.5 vvm, pH(UC) = 6 as 1840 U dm(-3) where cell concentration was 2.3 g dm(-3). The use of agricultural waste xylan, as the carbon source resulted in concomitant production of xylanase and GI. The highest xylanase activity was attained as 9300 U dm(-3) at 500 min(-1) and 0.5 vvm. K(L)a varied between 0.008-0.033 s(-1) whereas the highest oxygen Uptake Fate was 0.002 mmol dm(-3) s(-1). Initially biochemical reaction limitations were effective: thereafter, mass transfer resistances became more effective,

Carbon sources affect metabolic capacities of Bacillus species for the production of industrial enzymes: theoretical analyses for serine and neutral proteases and alpha-amylase Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2001-07-01) The metabolic fluxes through the central carbon pathways were calculated for the genus Bacillus separately for the enzymes serine alkaline protease (SAP), neutral protease (NP) and alpha -amylase (AMY) on five carbon sources that have different reduction degrees (gamma), to determine the theoretical ultimate limits of the production capacities of Bacillus species and to predict the selective substrate for the media design. Glucose (gamma = 4.0), acetate (gamma = 4.0), and the TCA cycle organic-acids succina...
Biodegradation of 4-CP and 2,4-DCP mixture in a rotating biological contactor (RBC) şahinkaya, Erkan; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-01) In this study, the performance of a two stage rotating biological contactor (RBC) was evaluated for the treatment of synthetic wastewater containing peptone, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) at 5 rpm. Also, the effect of biogenic substrate (peptone) concentration on the reactor performance was investigated. High chlorophenols (> 98%) and COD (> 94%) removals were achieved throughout the reactor operation in the first stage and the second stage behaved as a polishing step. The observed ...
Enhanced recombinant human erythropoietin production by Pichia pastoris in methanol fed-batch/sorbitol batch fermentation through pH optimization Soyaslan, Elif Sukran; Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-15) The effects of pH on recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) production by Pichia pastoris was investigated at pH = 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0, where sorbitol and methanol were supplied to the bioreactor in batch and fed-batch mode, respectively, in the recombinant protein production phase (PP). For the first three phases, glycerol batch (GB), glycerol fed-batch (GFB) and methanol transition (MT), the growth profiles were almost the same for pH >= 5.0; however, at pH < 5.0 the growth rate was lower. The h...
Covalent immobilization of chloroperoxidase onto magnetic beads: Catalytic properties and stability Bayramoglu, Guelay; Kiralp, Senem; Yilmaz, Meltem; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Arica, M. Yakup (Elsevier BV, 2008-02-15) Amino groups containing magnetic beads were used in covalent immobilization of the enzyme "chloroperoxidase (CPO)" which is one of a few enzymes that can catalyse the peroxide dependent oxidation of a wide spectrum of organic and inorganic compounds. The magnetic poly(glycidylmethacrylate-methylmethacrylate-etbyleneglycol dimethacrylate), magnetic p(GMA-MMA-EGDMA) beads were prepared via suspension polymerization in the presence of ferric ions. The magnetic beads were characterized with scanning electron mi...
QCM-based DNA biosensor for detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) Karamollaoglu, Irem; Oektem, Hueseyin Avni; Mutlu, Mehmet Kayhan (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-15) Development of a mass sensitive quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-based DNA biosensor for the detection of the hybridization of CaMV 35S promoter sequence (P35S) was investigated for the screening of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Attention was focused on the choice of the coating chemistry that could be used for the immobilization of probe sequences on the gold surface of the quartz crystal. Two immobilization procedures were tested and compared considering the amount of the immobilized P35S probe ...
