BACKGROUND: This paper describes results obtained for different participating research groups in an interlaboratory study related to biochemical methane potential (BMP). In this research work, all experimental conditions influencing the test such as inoculum, substrate characteristics and experimental conditions were investigated. The study was performed using four substrates: three positive control substrates (starch, cellulose and gelatine), and one raw biomass material (mung bean) at two different inoculum to substrate ratios (ISR).

Granulation of a mixture of suspended anaerobic and aerobic cultures under alternating anaerobic/microaerobic/aerobic conditions: a preliminary study Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande (Wiley, 2005-07-01) This paper focuses on a new granulation study area where a mixture of suspended anaerobic and aerobic cultures was used as seed. Mixed suspended anaerobic and aerobic cultures exposed to alternating anaerobic/microaerobic/aerobic conditions developed granulates up to 2.5 mm in size. The granules developed displayed both oxygen uptake (3.83 - 8.75 mg dissolved oxygen g(-1) volatile suspended solids h(-1)) and methanogenic activities (7.5 cm(3) CH4 d(-1)) comparable to those of aerobic and anaerobic control c...
EFFECTS OF SUBSTRATE CONCENTRATION ON GROWTH AND LACTIC-ACID PRODUCTION BY MIXED CULTURES OF LACTOBACILLUS-BULGARICUS AND STREPTOCOCCUS-THERMOPHILUS OZEN, S; OZILGEN, M (Wiley, 1992-01-01) The kinetics of growth and lactic acid production by mixed cultures of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus were modeled with a set of modified logistic and Luedeking-Piret equations. The specific growth rates and the inhibitory effect of each individual species on the mixed culture growth were found to be determined by the media composition. The kinetic analysis clearly showed that the contribution of each microbial species to the mixed culture growth process changed drastically when the...
Effect of pH, flow rate and concentration on the sorption of Pb and Cd on montmorillonite: II. Modelling Altin, O; Ozbelge, OH; Doğu, Timur (Wiley, 1999-12-01) A mathematical model is proposed and compared with experimental data for the migration of heavy metal ions (Pb and Cd) during the flow of aqueous solutions through calcium-saturated montmorillonite packing. The main system parameters are pH, flow rate and concentration. It is assumed that the Liquid phase in the porous montmorillonite can be divided into two regions, mobile and immobile; that adsorption and ion exchange on the clay surface are instantaneous, and that adsorption isotherms are Linear througho...
Metabolic reaction network of Pichia pastoris with glycosylation reactions: Flux analysis for erythropoietin production Eskitoros, Melda S.; Ata, Ozge; Çalık, Pınar (Wiley, 2014-11-01) BACKGROUND: Biochemical reaction network of Pichia pastoris was improved by including N-glycosylation pathway reactions to determine the intracellular reaction rates for glycosylated protein production.
Oxygen transfer effects in beta-lactamase fermentation by Bacillus licheniformis in a glucose-based defined medium Çalık, Pınar; Calik, G (Wiley, 2005-09-01) The effects of oxygen transfer on the beta-lactamase production by Bacillus licheniformis were investigated in a glucose-based defined medium. The experiments were conducted in 3.0 dm(3) batch bioreactor systems at three different air inlet (Q(O)/V-R = 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 vvm) and agitation rates (N = 250, 500 and 750 min(-1)). During the fermentation, the concentrations of the cell, glucose, by-products, ie organic and amino acids, oxygen transfer coefficients (K(L)alpha), yield coefficients, specific rates a...
