The effect of porogen viz. cyclohexanol and hexanol on PPO immobilization was studied. AGE copolymers with hexanol as a porogen were found to give higher binding and expression of PPO activity than GE polymers. Crosslinking of amino groups of enzyme with 5% glutaraldehyde for 6 h gave a stable binding of PPO on AGE-75(Hex) polymer with storage half-life of approximately 25 days.

The structural features of sulfur nanoparticles have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), diffused reflectance infra-red Fourier transform technique, and BET surface area measurements. XRD analysis indicates the presence of alpha-sulfur. TEM analysis shows that the morphology of sulfur nanoparticles synthesized in w/o microemulsion system is nearly uniform in size (average particle size 10 nm) and narrow particle size distribution (in range of 5-15 nm) as compared to that in aqueous surfactant systems. The EDS analysis indicated high purity of sulfur (&amp;gt; 99%).

Rhodococcus spp. MTCC 2574 was selected through screening of seven different Rhodococcus strains. The preliminary screening experiments (one-factor at a time) suggested that carbon source: mannitol, nitrogen source: yeast extract and meat peptone and inducer: n-hexadecane are the critical medium components. The concentrations of these four media components were optimized by using central composite rotatable design (CCRD) of RSM. The adequately high R-2 value (0.947) and F score 19.11 indicated the statistical significance of the model. The optimum medium composition for biosurfactant production was found to contain mannitol (1.6 g/L), yeast extract (6.92 g/L), meat peptone (19.65 g/L), n-hexadecane (63.8 g/L). The crude biosurfactant was obtained from methyl tert-butyl ether extraction. The yield of biosurfactant before and after optimization was 3.2 g/L of and 10.9 g/L, respectively. Thus, RSM has increased the yield of biosurfactant to 3.4-fold. The crude biosurfactant decreased the surface tension of water from 72 mN/m to 30.8 mN/m (at 120 mg L-1) and achieved a critical, micelle concentration (CMC) value of 120 mg L-1.

R. erythropolis MTCC 1526 was selected through screening of seven strains of Rhodococcus species. The Placket-Burman screening experiments suggested that sorbitol as carbon source, yeast extract and meat peptone as nitrogen sources, and acetamide as amidase inducer are the most influential media components. The concentrations of these four media components were optimised using a face-centred design of response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum medium composition for amidase production was found to contain sorbitol (5 g/L), yeast extract (4 g/L), meat peptone (2.5 g/L), and acetamide (12.25 mM). Amidase activities before and after optimisation were 157.85 units/g dry cells and 1,086.57 units/g dry cells, respectively.

Two optimization techniques-(1) artificial neural network (ANN) coupled with genetic algorithm (GA) and (2) response surface methodology (RSM)-were used for media optimization in order to enhance the biosurfactant yield by Rhodococcus erythropolis MTCC 2794. ANN and RSM models were developed, incorporating the quantity of four medium components (sucrose, yeast extract, meat peptone, and toluene) as independent input variables and biosurfactant yield [calculated in terms of percent emulsification index (% EI24)] as output variable. ANN-GA and RSM were compared for their predictive and generalization ability using a separate data set of 16 experiments, for which the average quadratic errors were similar to 3 and similar to 6%, respectively. ANN-GA was found to be more accurate and consistent in predicting optimized conditions and maximum yield than RSM. For the ANN-GA model, the values of correlation coefficient and average quadratic error were similar to 0.99 and similar to 3%, respectively. It was also shown that ANN-based models could be used accurately for sensitivity analysis. ANN-GA-optimized media gave about a 3.5-fold enhancement in biosurfactant yield.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;2.416&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savergave, Laxman S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gadre, Ramchandra V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaidya, Bhalchandra K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Narayanan, Karthik</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Strain improvement and statistical media optimization for enhanced erythritol production with minimal by-products from candida magnoliae mutant R23</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochemical Engineering Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candida magnoliae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erythritol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fermentation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Metabolite over-production</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Modelling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optimization</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUL</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 564, 1001 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">55</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">92-100</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mutants of Candida magnoliae NCIM 3470 were generated by ultra-violet and chemical mutagenesis to enhance erythritol production. The mutants were screened for higher reductase activity on agar plates containing high concentration of glucose and 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC). One of the mutants named as R23 gave maximum erythritol production, 60.3 g L(-1), compared to 14 g L(-1) of the parent strain. Glucose and yeast extract were identified as critical medium components which decide the ratio of polyols produced, mainly erythritol, mannitol and glycerol. In order to enhance the production of erythritol and to minimize the production of mannitol and glycerol, a four component-five level-three response central-composite-rotatable-design (CCRD) of response surface methodology (RSM) model was used. The optimum medium composition for erythritol production was found to contain (g L(-1)) glucose 238, yeast extract 9.2, KH(2)PO(4), 5.16 and MgSO(4) 0.23. Moreover, erythritol production was studied in a 10 L fermentor in batch and fed-batch mode using RSM optimized medium. In fed-batch fermentation, 87.8 g L(-1) erythritol was produced with 31.1% yield, without formation of any other polyols. Thus present study involving strain improvement followed by media and process optimization resulted in 6.2-fold increase in erythritol production and 3.4-fold increase in the yield.

The effect of monomer used and the effect of amount of cross-linking agent on covalent immobilization of aminoacylase were studied. Furthermore, the effect of porogen on immobilization of aminoacylase was also evaluated. AGE-co-EGDM copolymer beads gave higher binding of aminoacylase than GMA-co-EGDM copolymer beads. AGE-co-EGDM copolymer beads synthesized with lauryl alcohol as porogen and having 150% cross-linked density (i.e. AGE-(L)-150) gave maximum enzyme binding. Under optimum conditions, AGE-(L)-150 copolymer beads gave about 130 U/g of aminoacylase activity which corresponds to 72.24% of activity yield. Immobilized aminoacylase showed a broader pH, higher temperature and extended storage stability. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Under the optimum conditions, AP-CLEA expressed 74.9% activity recovery and 81.2% aggregation yield. The said method of co-aggregation and cross-linking significantly improved the catalytic stability of L-aminoacylase with respect to temperature and storage. AP-CLEA were employed for enantioselective synthesis of three unnatural amino acids (namely: phenylglycine, homophenylalanine and 2-naphthylalanine) via chiral resolution of their ester-. amide- and N-acetyl derivatives. The enantioselectivity of AP-CLEA was the highest for hydrolysis of amino acid amides; was moderate for hydrolysis of N-acetyl amino acids and was the least for hydrolysis of amino acid esters. Furthermore, AP-CLEA were found to retain more than 92% of the initial activity after five consecutive batches of (RS)-homophenylalanine hydrolysis suggesting an adequate operational stability of the biocatalyst.

Mutants with higher reductase activity were screened by means of 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride agar plate assay. Among the screened mutants, the mutant R9 produced maximum mannitol (i.e. 46 g l(-1)) in liquid fermentation medium containing 250 g l(-1) glucose and hence was selected for further experiments. Preliminary optimization studies were carried out on shake-flask level which increased the mannitol production to 60 g l(-1) in liquid fermentation medium containing 300 g l(-1) glucose. A two-stage fermentation process comprising of growth phase and production phase was employed. During the growth phase, glucose was supplemented and aerobic conditions were maintained. Thereafter, the production phase was initiated by supplementing fructose and switching to anaerobic conditions by discontinuing aeration and decreasing the speed of agitation. The strategy of two-stage fermentation significantly enhanced the production of mannitol up to 240 g l(-1), which is the highest among all fermentative production processes and corresponds to 81 % yield and 4 g l(-1) h(-1) productivity without formation of any by-product.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.823
