The nutritional and temperature requirements of a naturally occurring mixed culture of thermophilic microorganisms were studied. Investigations concerning the effect of temperature on the growth characteristics of the mixed culture showed that the rate of growth was highest between 55 and 58 degrees C. Furthermore, it was found that the minimal nutritional requirements for maximum growth of these microorganisms included methionine, magnesium, calcium, and the necessary carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus sources. It was shown that a mixed culture was nutritionally less fastidious than the pure cultures of individual organisms isolated from the mixed culture; this observation illustrated the possibility of symbiotic growth of thermophilic microorganisms insofar as meeting their individual nutritional requirements.

Biochemically based modeling study of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba growth and development Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea; Wolf-Gladrow, Dieter; Bathmann, Ulrich (2008-01-01) A biochemical model of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba was developed to investigate the physiological mechanisms which enable krill to survive winter, when food is scarce. In this modeling approach data sets on the biochemical composition of krill and its food sources are combined into a model that takes food quality into account rather than just food availability during different seasons. Krill is defined in terms of protein, neutral lipid, polar lipid, carbohydrate, chitin, and ash content, and the mode...
Production of thermophylic α-amylase from aspergillus sp. and its utilization for various applications Gazaloğlu, Mehmet; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Biotechnology (2017) The objective of this study was to scale up the production of thermophilic α-amylase and its use to obtain fermentable sugar as the main carbon source for microorganisms such as baker’s yeast and Lactobacillus casei. Aspergillus niger N402 was the strain used for determining the fermentation parameters (carbon and nitrogen source, fermentation volume/total flask volume ratio (FV/TFV), pH & temperature of the fermentation and spore inoculum level.) Different strains (Am13, AmC18, and AmC28) were also tested ...
Physiological traits of saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated from traditional wines in Turkey Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Food Engineering (2017) Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the yeast species that is the most important among enological microorganisms. The main characteristic properties that differ Saccharomyces from other yeasts are high ethanol and sulfur dioxide tolerance. In this study, Emir and Kalecik Karası grape varieties, harvested in vintage were used in traditional wine production. 37 strains were isolated from washing water of grapes, grape juice and samples taken during wine production. Selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were ident...
Effect of starvation on the biochemical compositions and respiration rates of ctenophores Mnemiopsis leidyi and Beroe ovata in the Black Sea Anninsky, BE; Finenko, FA; Abolmasova, GI; Hubareva, ES; Svetlichny, LS; Bat, L; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2005-06-01) The proximate biochemical composition and metabolic rates of ctenophores Mnemiopsis leidyi and Beroe ovata from the Black Sea were examined with respect to starvation conditions. Although organic matter content in B. ovata was two times higher than that of M. leidyi (2.51 +/- 0.53 and 1.4 +/- 0.17 mg g(-1) of wet weight, respectively), these species did not significantly differ in their biochemical composition. In both species protein formed about 80% of the total organic matter, lipids amounted to about 10...
Biochemical composition of Mnemiopsis leidyi in the southern Caspian Sea Yousefian, M; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2003-01-01) The biochemical composition of the invasive ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi from the southern Caspian Sea was analysed in terms of total fractions of protein, lipid, ninhydrin-positive substances (NPS), polysaccharides ( PS) and low molecular-weight carbohydrates (LMC). The sum of organic substances per gram dry weight was 84.2 mg g(-1). Protein was the major organic fraction followed by lipid and NPS. The NPS/protein and LNC/PS ratio were 0.45 and 0.50 respectively. Starvation of M. leidyi for a 5-day period...
