This challenge has prompted intensive research in new advanced treatment technologies, some of which currently making their way to full-scale installations. These comprise polishing treatments such as -ltration, chemical oxidation and specialized Nocculation techniques and pre-treatment steps includ- ing anaerobic digestion, -xed--lm bioreactors, FentonIs reagent oxidation, elec- trolysis, or foam Notation. Though several of these new technologies are promising in terms of cost and performance, they all su†er limitations which require further research and/or need broader validation. A segment of the research deals with the separate handling of speci-c sub-streams such as dyebath effluents to which membrane -ltration is sometimes applied. The main limitation of this approach is the treatment of the concentrate stream. The spectrum of available technologies may, in the future, be further broadened to include oxidation, specialized bio-sorptive processes, solvent extrac- fungi/H 2 O 2 -driven tion, or photocatalysis. 1998 SCI ( J.

This thermal stabilizing activity increased exponentially in respect to sorbitol concentration in the range 250-400 mg cm -3 and was dependent on the pH, showing a maximum at pH values between 5.25 and 8.0. The circular dichroism (CD) thermal scanning profile (50°C h -1 ) at 224 nm showed that changes in the secondary structure of xylanase started at 65°C, while in the presence of sorbitol (400 mg cm -3 ) these modifications started at 80°C.

The aim was to determine conditions for both high specific enzyme activity and high volumetric enzyme productivity. Significant differences in the specific enzyme activity and specific and volumetric enzyme productivity were found at the corresponding steady states when the DO was varied between 0 and 90%. Maximum lactase production was attained at 10% DO. Under this condition the best results were an enzyme activity of 5910 IU g -1 , specific production rate of 1810 IU g -1 h -1 and volumetric production rate of 1530 IU dm -3 h -1 . This seem to be due to the fact that at low aeration conditions the yeast metabolism is more reductive and as a consequence it verifies both higher specific lactose consumption rate and higher enzyme expression than in full aeration conditions. The results of this investigation are also compared with those of other studies of lactase production by Kluyveromyces sp.","PeriodicalId":15303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology","volume":"22 1","pages":"71-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82828064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The catalyst with Sm/Mg ratio of 0.11, prepared using magnesium acetate and magnesium carbonate as a source of MgO and calcining at 950°C, is found to be highly active and selective in the OCM process.

The strains of Enterococcus hirae are characterised by their penicillin resistance, the mother strains ATCC9790, the penicillin-sensitive mutant AS21 and the penicillin-resistant mutant R40 present an MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration of penicillin) of 1-2, 0.075 and 80 μg cm -3 , respectively. Preliminary results showed that the penicillin-resistant cell wall (R40) had more affinity for nickel than the others. The maximum amount of fixed nickel average 2.03 μmol of Ni mg -1 of R40 cells walls, 1.06 μmol of Ni mg -1 of AS21 cell walls and 0.96 μmol of Ni mg -1 of ATCC cell walls. The Scatchard model showed at least two types of nickel fixation sites, with low and high affinity respectively, and a negative cooperativity between sites. Application of the BET isotherm implies a multilayer adsorption process in which one layer does not need to be completely saturated before the succeeding ones. The potentiometric titration curve showed the proton affinity distribution of the cell walls. Two protonation constants were obtained, one at pH 4.5 which corresponded to the pK a of a weak acid, and one at pH 7.2 which corresponded to the pK a of the couple of H 2 PO 4 - /HPO 4 2- .","PeriodicalId":15303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology","volume":"40 1","pages":"45-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80158383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
