Using Response Surface Methodology, carbon and nitrogen sources and agitation speed for cultivation of Aspergillus sojae expressing the alpha-galactosidase gene, aglB of Aspergillus fumigatus IMI 385708 were optimized. Compared to cultivation in modified YpSs medium, cultivation in 250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks agitated at 276 rpm and containing 100 mL of optimized medium consisting of 10.5% molasses (w/v) and 1.3% NH4NO3 (w/v), 0.1% K2HPO4, and 0.005% MgSO4 center dot 7H(2)0 achieved a 4-fold increase in alpha-galactosidase production (10.4 U/mL). These results suggest the feasibility of industrial large scale production of an alpha-galactosidase known to be valuable in galactomannan modification.

An extracellular - Pepstatin insensitive acid protease produced by Thermoplasma volcanium Kocabıyık, Semra (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) In this study, some parameters for the production and caseinolytic activity of an extracellular thermostable acid protease from a thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma volcanium were determined. The highest level of growth and enzyme production were detected at pH 3.0 over an incubation period of 192 h at 60 degrees C. The pH optimum for the acid protease activity was 3.0 and the enzyme was fairly stable over a broad pH range (pH 3.0-8.0). The temperature for maximum activity of the enzyme was 55 degrees ...
Selecting the right blood glucose monitor for the determination of glucose during the enzymatic hydrolysis of corncob pretreated with different methods Bahcegul, Erinc; Tatli, Emre; Haykir, Nazife Isik; Apaydin, Serpil; Bakir, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-01) In order to assess their accuracy for the determination of glucose during the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass, four different blood glucose monitors (BGMs), each utilizing a different enzymatic mechanism for the determination of glucose, were utilized in an experimental setup, which compares the efficiency of ionic liquid pretreatment with dilute acid and alkaline pretreatments applied on corncob. Among the tested devices, Optium Xceed was found to be the most accurate device for ...
Detoxification of Groundnut Cake Naturally Contaminated with Aflatoxin B-1 Using Rhodococcus erythropolis in Shake Flask Bioreactors Dogan, Onay Burak; ÖNAL ULUSOY, BARAN; Bozoglu, Faruk; Sagdicoglu-Celep, Adviye Gulcin; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01) Degradation of aflatoxin B-1 in groundnut cake, a residue after oil extraction, by Rhodococcus erythropolis was optimized using response surface methodology. The bacterium was first grown in synthetic medium to determine optimal growth conditions using the combination of the Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken methods and consequently aflatoxin B-1 in groundnut cake slurry was degraded under varying culture conditions. Optimal growth conditions were found as 22.5 A degrees C of temperature, pH 7, 100 mL of cult...
The inhibitory effects and removal of dieldrin continuous upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; DEMİRER, GÖKSEL NİYAZİ (Elsevier BV, 2003-09-01) The inhibitory effects and removal efficiency of dieldrin (DLD) in anaerobic reactors were investigated. Anaerobic toxicity assay (ATA) experiments conducted in batch reactors revealed that 30 mg/l DLD had inhibitory effects on the unacclimated mixed anaerobic cultures. Continuous reactor experiments performed in a lab-scale two-stage upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor system which was fed with ethanol as the sole carbon source, indicated that anaerobic granular cultures could be successfully ac...
Microbial biodiesel production by direct methanolysis of oleaginous biomass Thliveros, Panagiotis; Kiran, Esra Uckun; Webb, Colin (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01) Biodiesel is usually produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats with methanol, catalyzed by strong acids or bases. This study introduces a novel biodiesel production method that features direct base-catalyzed methanolysis of the cellular biomass of oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides Y4. NaOH was used as catalyst for transesterification reactions and the variables affecting the esterification level including catalyst concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time, solve...
