Benzene, toluene and phenol were degraded completely at high initial concentrations by Pseudomonas putida F I ATCC 700007. Two hundred and fifty milligram per litre benzene, 225 mg/l toluene and 200 mg/l phenol were degraded individually in 19, 14 and 3 5 h, respectively. The biodegradation times increased on increasing the substrate concentration. The maximum biodegradation rates were 149 mg benzene/g dry cell h for 60 mg/l benzene, 44 mg toluene/g dry cell h for 110 mg/l toluene and 102 mg phenol/g dry cell h for 100 mg/l phenol. The specific growth rates were 0.530/h for 30 mg/l benzene, 0.410/h for 28 mg/l toluene and 0.037/h for 50 mg/l phenol and decreased on increasing the concentration of these compounds. Cell growth using toluene and benzene as carbon source was better and faster than growth in phenol. These substrates were also biodegraded as binary and tertiary mixtures. The presence of toluene, phenol and toluene-phenol binary mixture increased the biodegradation time of 60 mg/l benzene from 6 to 8, 11 and 8 h respectively. The presence of benzene and/or phenol did not affect significantly the biodegradation time of 55 mg/l toluene. The presence of benzene, toluene and benzene-toluene binary mixture decreased the biodegradation time of 200 mg/l phenol from 35 to 18, 15 and 16 h, respectively.

Preparation of cross-linked tyrosinase aggregates
Aytar, Burcu Selin; Bakir, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2008-02-01)
Tyrosinase from mushroom was immobilized as a cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) via precipitation with ammonium sulfate and cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The effects of precipitation and cross-linking on CLEA activity were investigated and the immobilized tyrosinase was characterized. Sixty percent ammonium sulfate saturation and 2% glutaraldehyde were used; a 3-h cross-linking reaction at room temperature, at pH 7.0 was performed; particle sizes of the aggregates were reduced; consequently, 100% ac...
Oxygen transfer effects in serine alkaline protease fermentation by Bacillus licheniformis: Use of citric acid as the carbon source
Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 1998-12-01)
The effects of oxygen transfer on serine alkaline protease (SAP) production by Bacillus licheniformis on a defined medium with C-c = 9.0 kg m(-3) citric acid as sole carbon source were investigated in 3.5 dm(3) batch bioreactor systems. The concentrations of the product (SAP) and by-products, i.e., neutral protease, amylase, amino acids, and organic acids were determined in addition to SAP activities. Ar Q(o)/V = 1 vvm airflow rate, the effect of agitation rate on DO concentration, pH, product, and by-produ...
Kinetics model for growth of Pseudomonas putida F1 during benzene, toluene and phenol biodegradation
Abuhamed, T; Bayraktar, E; Mehmetoglu, T; Mehmetoglu, U (Elsevier BV, 2004-04-30)
The effect of adaptation of Pseudomonas putida F1 ATCC 700007 (Pp F1) to the biodegradation of benzene (B), toluene (T) and phenol (P) was studied. The adaptation of microorganism to BTP decreased the biodegradation time from 24 to 6 It for benzene (90 mg/1) and toluene (90 mg/1), and from 90 to 18 It for phenol (50 mg/1). Andrews kinetics model for single substrate was solved to obtain maximum specific growth rates, half saturation and substrate inhibition constant. Cell growth using toluene (mu(max.T) = 0...
SETTLING KINETICS OF CHAMPAGNE YEAST
ARIKAN, O; OZILGEN, M (Elsevier BV, 1992-09-01)
Settling kinetics of champagne yeast were studied with 0.01, 0.05, and 0.10 m NaCl, CaCl2, AlCl3, and 1.00 +/- 0.01 OD660 (optical density at 660 nm) initial yeast concentration at pH 1. In the suspensions with 0.01 M NaCl, the pH of the medium varied between 1 and 3, and the initial yeast concentration changed between 0.74 and 1.25 OD660. Analysis of the data showed that the settling phenomena occurred in two steps: (i) establishment of the diffuse double layer to overcome repulsion, hence achievement of c...
Salt, EDTA, and pH effects on rheological behavior of mold suspensions
Dik, Tunay; Bozoğlu, T. Faruk (Elsevier BV, 1992-11)
The effects of surface properties on the rheological behavior of Aspergillus niger suspensions were studied at pH 2-7, with the addition of 0-0.10 m NaH2PO4, NaCl, CaCl2, AlCl3, and EDTA at shear rates of 0-21.6 s-1. The structural network concept was used to discuss the consequences of cell-cell interactions on the rheological behavior. Analysis of the data indicated that the suspensions containing CaCl2 nearly always had the smallest shear stress at all the pH values, indicating that, unlike with the yeas...
