McKelvey with antifungal activity. This research aimed to induce the formation of callus tissue in Y. carnerosana , to know the growth kinetic, and to analyze the metabolite profile of the formed tissue and plants propagated under in vitro and ex vitro conditions. Callus induction was achieved using Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.4 µ M benzyladenine and 4.1 µ M 4-aminotrichloropicolinic acid (Picloram). The growth kinetics of callus tissue was characterized by a latency phase achieved at the second week of culture, followed by an exponential growth until the fourth week. The culture showed a specific growth rate of 0.0258 d − 1 ; the doubling time was 26.866 days, and the growth index was 5.9091. The metabolite profile was analyzed using Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-HESI-Orbitrap-MS / MS). The chromatographic and mass spectral analysis allowed the separation and identification of 22 compounds in callus tissue, 26 in in vitro plants, and 27 in ex vitro plants. Our results indicate that the callus tissue and the in vitro and ex vitro plants of Y. carnerosana may be a source of metabolites of interest.","PeriodicalId":21335,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Química","volume":"156 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77625998","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}

On the other hand, the growth and activity of such enzymes of Pleurotus ostreatus ARS 3526 grown in both, submerged fermentation (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) were evaluated. The specific growth rate in SSF was 2.5 times higher than in SmF. The values of activity of Lac, VP and DyP were higher in the SSF, of the VAO activity was similar in both fermentation systems and SmF had the higher MnP activity value in comparison with SSF.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the acidogenesis / methanogenesis of acid cheese whey with short Hydraulic Retention Times (HRT) in Hybrid-UASB reactors, following the evolution of the organic matter, ammonium, and orthophosphate. The acidogenic reactor was operated at an HRT of 0.5 days, while for the methanogenic reactor, this ranged from 1-2 days; both reactors were operated in series. Results showed that the overall HRT of 1.5 days allowed optimal removal (89-96.8%) with organic loading rates of between 2.5 and 10.7 g COD / L-d, while at 14.2-24.9 g COD / L-d, best results were achieved at 2.5 days of overall HRT. Highest methane productivity ranged from 0.99-1.15 L CH 4 / L reactor -d (0.238-0.308 L CH 4 / g COD degraded ). Ammonium formation was only significant in methanogenesis (85 mg / L), while orthophosphates showed no change throughout the entire process. In conclusion, Hybrid-UASB reactors operated at short HRT were suitable for the acidogenesis / methanogenesis of this wastewater.

Recombinant production of MRJP1 represents an alternative to direct extraction from royal jelly. Production in Pichia pastoris results in high density biomass, with a supernatant containing high amount of impurities. Various methods have been applied to recover and/or purify MRJP1. Here, exploiting the physicochemical properties of MRJP1, reverse phase chromatography (RPC), size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and ion-exchange chromatography (IEX) were investigated as alternative methods to recover MRJP1 directly from supernatant. All techniques showed a 57-kDa band in SDS-PAGE analysis, corresponding to the size of recombinant MRJP1, with contaminants attributed to culture media. However, SEC coupled to IEX evidenced a single peak in the chromatogram corresponding to MRJP1 which suggest it may be a good protocol to recover recombinant MRJP1 from P. pastoris supernatant. This approach serves as a procedure to identify MRJP1 in fermentation culture of P. pastoris. This is the first report about characterization of IEX-based recovery of recombinant Apis mellifera MRJP1 produced in Pichia pastoris without the use of histidine tags.","PeriodicalId":21335,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Química","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78223318","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}
