Immobilization was found to result in increased intensity and stability of bioluminescence. The elements determining the stability of bioluminescence were investigated. Selection of the strain was found to be of the highest importance. Among immobilized cells, Photobacterium phosphoreum exhibited the most intense and prolonged light emission, while Vibrio harveyi showed the least one. The technological procedures for cryogenic immobilization of photobacteria were determined. The role of the environment of gel formation in the preservation of the bioluminescence activity was determined. In the gels formed in rich medium for submerged\u0000cultivation of photobacteria, almost 100% luminescence activity was preserved, while light emission was considerably prolonged. Bioluminescence intensity of the preparations was shown to depend significantly on pH of the incubation medium. The pH shift to acidic values during prolonged incubation of immobilized cells was shown to be one of the factors of bioluminescence quenching. The stress effects of cryogenic immobilization\u0000were found to have an insignificant effect on the temperature profile of bioluminescence. Decreased reduction rate of the luciferase flavin substrate was shown to be a possible reason for bioluminescence quenching.</p>","PeriodicalId":18732,"journal":{"name":"Mikrobiologiia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36568656","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}

Compared to the standard cryoprotector concentrations, sucrose and glucose (5% and higher) in skim milk, as well as freezing at ‒70°C with subsequent storage at the same temperature resulted in improved survival of bifidobacteria. Under such conditions, the number of viable cells (CFU) after 12 months of storage was two to three orders of magnitude higher than in the case of the standard lyophilization procedure. Investigation of dynamics of resistance of reactivated clones to such gastrointestinal stress factors as gastric juice and bile acids revealed preservation of these properties at all storage modes.

Enzyme immobilization results, however, in a significant decrease in enzymatic activity. In the present work, the mechanism responsible for promotion of the catalytic activity was revealed, as well as the favorable effect of low-molecular alkylhydrozybenzenes of the class of alkylresorcinols, which are common in soil organic matter, on stability of immobilized enzymes (exemplified by amylases) by their post-translational modification. Optimal conditions (enzyme to sorbent ratio, pH optimum, CaCl2 concentration, and sorption time) for amylase sorption on a biological sorbent (yeast cell walls) were determined and decreased activity of the immobilized enzyme compared to its dissolved state was confirmed. Alkylresorcinols (C7AHB) at concentrations of 1.6 to 80 mM were found to cause an increase of amylase activity both in the case of already sorbed enzymes (by 30%) and in the case of a free dissolved enzyme with its subsequent immobilization (by 50–60%). In both cases, the optimal C7AHB concentration was\u000016 mM. Amylase stability was determined for C7AHB-modified and unmodified enzymes immobilized on the biological sorbent after two cycles of freezing (–20°C) and thawing (4°C). Inverse dependence was revealed between increasing stability of C7AHB-modified enzymes and an increase in their activity, as well as higher stability of immobilized modified amylases than of the dissolved modified enzyme. Investigation of the effect of C7HOB-modification in the preservation of activity in immobilized amylases after four freeze–thaw cycles revealed: (1) better preservation of activity by the modified immobilized enzymes compared to immobilized ones; (2) differences in the dynamics of activity loss within compared pairs, with activity of\u0000immobilized amylases decreasing after the second cycle to a lower level (42%) than activity of the modified immobilized enzymes after the fourth cycle (48%).
