This study reports the isolation of Pseudomonas sp. strains with monochloroacetate (MCA) degradation function, from uncontaminated soil, and the use of Southern blot hybridization technique to detect MCA degrading catabolic genes and their divergence. Based on their capacity to remove Cl- from MCA in a minimal medium containing 185 ppm Cl-, the strains were classified into three groups: poor degraders (Cl- release between 0-15 ppm), medium degraders (Cl- release between 16-30 ppm), and high degraders (Cl- release between 31-45 ppm). We have applied a gene probe assay for determining the diversity of MCA degradative genotypes of 61 strains. Two different gene probes, dehCI and dehCII were used in Southern blot hybridization assays. Majority of the DNA samples that produced signals on the membrane blots (18 out of 24) hybridized with only dehCI DNA probe, while 6 strains hybridized with only dehCII probe. On the other hand, 37 isolates did not hybridize to either of the gene probes used. The results indicated the high specificity of the DNA hybridization method and the divergence of metabolic functions and/or genotypes among the native MCA-degrading Pseudomonas sp, populations in the soil.

Growth of agriculturally important Pseudomonas spp. and Azotobacter Chroococcum on beer waste and observation of their survival in peat Abat, Benek; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2006) In this study agriculturally important Pseudomonas spp. which may solubilize phosphate and Azotobacter chroococcum which can fix atmospheric nitrogen were grown on waste beer with 4 different concentrations and conditions for best growth were determined. Having potential of use as biofertilizers, they were put in the carrier material peat and survivals of them were observed for 3 months at three different temperatures. Biofertilizer can be defined as a substance which contains living microorganisms which, w...
Characterization and purification of a bacteriocin produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris Dündar, Halil; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Department of Biotechnology (2006) In this study, a new bacteriocin isolated from a Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris strain was purified to homogeneity by pH mediated cell adsorption-desorption, solid phase extraction with Amberlite XAD-16, cation-exchange chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The purification resulted in an electrophoretically pure protein that was smaller than 6 kDa as judged by SDS-PAGE. The bacteriocin was found to be very hydrophobic and cationic and could be adsorbed by synthetic calcium s...
Enhancement of Heterotrophic Biomass Production by Micractinium sp ME05 Engin, Iskin Kose; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2018-05-01) In this study, heterotrophic growth conditions for Micractinium sp. ME05 cells were investigated for the improvement of biomass production. Plackett Burman (PB) method was used to screen process variables, namely, pH, carbon source and yeast extract concentrations, temperature and inoculum ratio, that affect the biomass production. The Box-Behnken (BB) design of response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to evaluate the interaction effect of process variables and to optimize them. The biomass obtained f...
Effects of pH and feeding strategy on metabolite profiling of beta-lactamase producing bacillus licheniformis İler, Nazar; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) In this study, the effects of pH and different feeding modes on beta-lactamase production and cell metabolism were investigated with Bacillus licheniformis (ATCC 25972). For this purpose, first, the effects of pH on beta-lactamase activity, cell formation, substrate consumption, as well as intracellular sodium, potassium, ammonium ion, amino acid and organic acid concentrations were investigated in V= 3.0 dm3 batch bioreactors consisting of temperature, pH, foam, stirring rate and dissolved oxygen controls....
Determination of metabolic bottlenecks using reaction engineering principles in serine alkaline protease production by recombinant bacillus sp. Telli, İlkin Ece; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004) In this study, firstly, bioprocess characteristics for Serine Alkaline Protease (SAP) production, using recombinant Bacillus subtilis carrying pHV1431::subC, were examined. The cell concentration, substrate concentration, SAP activity and SAP synthesis rate profiles demonstrated that the system reaches to a steady state in terms of cell growth and SAP synthesis between t=15-25 h, therefore, this time interval is appropriate to employ both metabolic flux analysis and metabolic control analysis, which apply s...
