Response surface optimization of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis HD 500 fermentation for the production of its toxin proteins Cry4Ba and Cry11Aa was performed. Since the interaction of the medium components as well as cultivation conditions were expected to influence the production of the toxin proteins, an experimental chart was prepared by accepting the previously reported optimal values for the most important parameters as zero points: [Mn], 10(-6) M; [K2HPO4], 50 mM; C:N ratio, 20:1 and incubation temperature; 30 degrees C. When the combinations of these variables at different levels were studied at 30 batch cultures and analysed for the optimum toxin protein concentrations: temperature, 28.3 degrees C; [Mn], 3.3 x 10(-7) M; C:N ratio, 22.2 and [K2HPO4], 66.1 mM yielded the highest concentrations of both Cry4Ba and Cry11Aa toxin proteins.

Substrate interactions during the biodegradation of benzene, toluene and phenol mixtures
Abu Hamed, T; Bayraktar, E; Mehmetoglu, T; Mehmetoglu, U (Elsevier BV, 2003-09-30)
Benzene, toluene and phenol were degraded completely at high initial concentrations by Pseudomonas putida F I ATCC 700007. Two hundred and fifty milligram per litre benzene, 225 mg/l toluene and 200 mg/l phenol were degraded individually in 19, 14 and 3 5 h, respectively. The biodegradation times increased on increasing the substrate concentration. The maximum biodegradation rates were 149 mg benzene/g dry cell h for 60 mg/l benzene, 44 mg toluene/g dry cell h for 110 mg/l toluene and 102 mg phenol/g dry ce...
SURVIVAL KINETICS OF LACTIC-ACID STARTER CULTURES DURING AND AFTER FREEZE-DRYING
BOZOGLU, F; OZILGEN, M; BAKIR, U (Elsevier BV, 1987-09-01)
Survival kinetics of lactic acid starter cultures were modeled considering the microorganism and external medium interfacial area as the critical factors determining the resistance of the microorganisms to freeze-drying. Surviving fraction of the microorganisms increased with the increasing biomass concentration during freeze-drying, and this is attributed to the mutual shielding effect of the microorganisms against the severe conditions of the external medium. Survival of the microorganisms over the storag...
Preparation of cross-linked tyrosinase aggregates
Aytar, Burcu Selin; Bakir, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2008-02-01)
Tyrosinase from mushroom was immobilized as a cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) via precipitation with ammonium sulfate and cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The effects of precipitation and cross-linking on CLEA activity were investigated and the immobilized tyrosinase was characterized. Sixty percent ammonium sulfate saturation and 2% glutaraldehyde were used; a 3-h cross-linking reaction at room temperature, at pH 7.0 was performed; particle sizes of the aggregates were reduced; consequently, 100% ac...
Optimal conditions for enhanced beta-mannanase production by recombinant Aspergillus sojae
Ozturk, Bengu; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Ogel, Zumrut Begum (Elsevier BV, 2010-07-01)
Optimization of the growth conditions for maximum P-mannanase production in shake flasks by using recombinant Aspergillus sojae ATCC11906 (AsT1) was carried out by Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology. The highest beta-mannanase activity on the fourth day of cultivation at 30 degrees C was obtained as 363 U/ml in the optimized medium consisting of 7% sugar beet molasses, 0.43% NH(4)NO(3), 0.1% K(2)HPO(4) and 0.05% MgSO(4) (by weight per volume) at 207 rpm. On the sixth day of cultivation under...
SETTLING KINETICS OF CHAMPAGNE YEAST
ARIKAN, O; OZILGEN, M (Elsevier BV, 1992-09-01)
Settling kinetics of champagne yeast were studied with 0.01, 0.05, and 0.10 m NaCl, CaCl2, AlCl3, and 1.00 +/- 0.01 OD660 (optical density at 660 nm) initial yeast concentration at pH 1. In the suspensions with 0.01 M NaCl, the pH of the medium varied between 1 and 3, and the initial yeast concentration changed between 0.74 and 1.25 OD660. Analysis of the data showed that the settling phenomena occurred in two steps: (i) establishment of the diffuse double layer to overcome repulsion, hence achievement of c...
