Rumen microorganisms were used in a batch fermentor to investigate whether they could be used to produce acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and methane from cotton fibers. The kinetics of product formation were studied with the initial medium pH values of 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0. Propionic acid, butyric acid, and methane production were growth associated; acetic acid production was found to be nongrowth associated. The largest amounts of bacteria and protozoa were attained with the initial pH of 7.0. The highest specific production rate constants were observed for acetic acid with initial pH of 6.0. Almost the same values were observed for the rate constants of propionic acid production with initial pH values of 6.0 and 7.0. No propionic acid and methane were produced at pH 8.0. Butyric acid was produced only when the initial pH was 7.0. The rate constants of methane production decreased with the increasing initial pH values.

KINETICS OF MICROBIAL-GROWTH, GAS-PRODUCTION, AND DOUGH VOLUME INCREASE DURING LEAVENING
AKDOGAN, H; OZILGEN, M (Elsevier BV, 1992-02-01)
Microbial growth, gas production, and volume increase were studied experimentally at 10-degrees-C, 15-degrees-C, 20-degrees-C, 25-degrees-C, and 30-degrees-C in a sourdough production process. Microbial growth was simulated with the logistic equation. Gas production and dough volume increase rates were simulated with the Luede-king-Piret and saturation equations, respectively. In a leavening process, carbon dioxide is produced by the Bakers' yeast and entrapped into the gas cells formed by the gluten fil...
KINETICS OF MULTIPRODUCT ACIDOGENIC AND SOLVENTOGENIC BATCH FERMENTATIONS
OZILGEN, M (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1988-12-01)
Large amounts of data indicated that most of the metabolic processes of the acidogenic (acid producing) and the solventogenic (solvent producing) fermentations were regulated by product accumulation. A simple unstructured model simulated microbial growth, product formation and substrate utilization in six different fermentations, where five different microorganisms produced various combinations of ten different products. Specific growth rates of these microorganisms decreased proportionally with overall pro...
Degradation of chlorinated compounds by Penicillium camemberti in batch and up-flow column reactors
Taseli, BK; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-01)
A Penicillium camemberti strain isolated in this laboratory was studied for its ability to degrade chlorinated compounds including pentachlorophenol (PCP), 2-chlorophenol and trichloroacetic acid. The batch experiments were conducted in shake flasks using PCP as co-substrate resulting in around 56% PCP removal by the fungus. Experiments in shake flasks not containing acetate but Tween 80, produced 86% of PCP and 53% of 2-chlorophenol removals in 21 days. PCP was also fed to a column reactor with an adsorbab...
Mass flux balance-based model and metabolic pathway engineering analysis for serine alkaline protease synthesis by Bacillus licheniformis
Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 1999-07-01)
A mass flux balance-based stoichiometric model of Bacillus licheniformis for the serine alkaline protease (SAP) fermentation process has been established. The model considers 147 reaction fluxes, and there are 105 metabolites that are assumed to be in pseudo-steady state. Metabolic flux distributions were obtained from the solution of the model based on the minimum SAP accumulation rate assumption in B. licheniformis in combination with the off-line extracellular analyses of the metabolites that were the so...
Kinetics of riboflavin production by Brewers' yeasts
Tamer, I.M.; Özilgen , Mustafa; Ungan, Suat (Elsevier BV, 1988-12)
The kinetics of riboflavin production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces carlsbergensis in synthetic media and wort were studied. The results indicated that riboflavin was produced by growing cells only. Riboflavin production rate was proportional to growth rate of the yeasts in the exponential phase. Riboflavin was depleted in the stationary phase. The depletion rate was expressed with a first-order kinetic expression in yeast concentration. The kinetics of substrate utilization and ethanol prod...
