Bench-scale heat flux calorimetry is applied to monitor complex microbial systems producing secondary metabolites and having a rheol. complex behavior. With such systems, biol. metabolic activity can only be measured accurately if calorimetry is improved b ...
Systematic errors due to the neglect of water and/or ethanol partition between liq. and gaseous phases are discussed for bioreactors equipped with or without a condenser. Both water vapor and ethanol vapor are present in the off-gas leaving the condenser. ...
To meet the need for studies of anaerobic microbial and animal cell cultures involving much lower heat effects as compared to aerobic microbial cultures, a bench scale calorimeter, Bio-RCl, has been improved for achieving a higher long-term sensitivity. Th ...
The isolation and sepn. of the mol. variants of monoclonal IgA from cell culture supernatants is possible using several filtration and ion-exchange chromatog. steps, followed by size-exclusion chromatog. for the actual sepn. of the mol. variants. The latte ...
A review and discussion with 59 refs. Schrodinger stated in his landmark book, What is Life, that life feeds on neg. entropy. In this contribution, the validity of this statement is discussed through a careful thermodn. anal. of microbial growth processes. ...
The dynamic behavior of a continuous culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae subjected to a sudden increase in the diln. rate has been successfully modelled for anaerobic growth on glucose, and for aerobic growth on acetate, on ethanol, and on glucose. The cat ...
The aim of the present work was to investigate whether uncoupling of catabolism from anabolism, which was often obsd. in heterotrophic microorganisms under energy-sufficient growth conditions, also occurs in the autotrophic bacterium M. thermoautotrophicum ...
A review is given with 2 refs. Hemolytic disease of the newborn is an often fatal condition of some newborn babies due to the immunogenicity of their Rh D pos. erythrocytes in the Rh D neg. mother. This condition can be prevented by injecting anti-Rh D ant ...
The objective of this study was to characterize the dynamic adaptation of the oxidative capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to an increase in the glucose supply rate and its implications for the control of a continuous culture designed to produce biomass ...
Although a rigorous definition of growth-limiting substrate relies on a kinetic anal., a simple stoichiometric anal. based on the calcn. of the conversion is more applicable. Anal. of single and dual limitations is based on a simulated example for a substr ...
