Effect of nitrogen, carbon sources and agitation speed on acetoin production of Bacillus subtilis SF4-3

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (1), 2016
Background: Currently, microbial fermentation method has become the research hotspot for acetoin production. In our previous work, an acetoin-producing strain, Bacillus subtilis SF4-3, was isolated from Japanese traditional fermented food natto. However, its conversion of glucose to acetoin was relativel...

Implementación de técnica de cultivo para la investigación de Legionella pneumophila en depósitos domiciliarios de agua potable en Resistencia, Chaco
Implementation of cultivation technique for the investigation of Legionella pneumophila in household drinking water Resistencia, Chaco

Legionella pneumophila es una bacteria ambiental capaz de sobrevivir en un amplio intervalo de condiciones físico-químicas y de colonizar los sistemas de distribución y almacenamiento del agua potable. Es el principal patógeno trasmitido por el agua que produce el 90% de los casos de legionelosis. El...

Optimización de cultivos primarios de células de carcinoma renal de células claras como modelo "in vitro" para estudios metabólicos y determinantes de progresión neoplásica
Optimization of primary cultures of clear cell renal carcinoma cells as an "in vitro" model for metabolic studies and determinants of neoplastic progression

El objetivo del presente estudio fue optimizar la implementación de cultivos primarios a partir de muestras de carcinoma renal de células claras (CRCC) para comprobar la conservación del fenotipo lipogénico contra cortes fijados del mismo origen. Se utilizaron muestras de pacientes con CRCC, evaluán...

Study on the relationship between intracellular metabolites and astaxanthin accumulation during Phaffia rhodozyma fermentation

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (3), 2015
Background To study the relationship between intracellular anabolism and astaxanthin production, the influence of intracellular protein and fatty acids on astaxanthin production by four mutant Phaffia rhodozyma strains and their variations was investigated in this research. Results First, the content of ...

Onicomicosis por Curvularia lunata var. aeria: presentación de un caso clínico
[Onychomycosis for Curvularia lunata var. aeria: Presentation of a clinical case]

Rev. argent. microbiol; 47 (1), 2015
We here report a clinical case of a female patient presenting with a three-month history of a white onychodystrophic lesion of both hallux. The infection was due to a mold, identified as Curvularia lunata var aeria. The Curvularia gender is related to the production of phaeohyphomycosis, Curvularia lunat...

Cultivation of Scenedesmus dimorphus for C/N/P removal and lipid production

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (1), 2015
Background CO2 emission, water pollution and petroleum shortage are the issues coming with the development of industry. A cost effective system was constructed to fix the CO2 in flue gas (15% CO2), remove nitrogen and phosphorus from manure wastewater and produce biofuels at the same time. The significan...

Callus culture development of two varieties of Tagetes erecta and carotenoid production

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (3), 2014
Background The properties of natural pigments, such as antioxidants, functional, medical, and nutraceutical, have demonstrated the advantages of these natural compounds over synthetic ones. Some products are accepted only when they are pigmented with natural, food-quality colorants: for example poultry p...

Optimization of Bacillus subtilis cell growth effecting jiean-peptide production in fed batch fermentation using central composite design

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (3), 2014
Background Optimization of nutrient feeding was developed to improve the growth of Bacillus subtilis in fed batch fermentation to increase the production of jiean-peptide (JAA). A central composite design (CCD) was used to obtain a model describing the relationship between glucose, total nitrogen, and th...

Immobilization of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase on aminopropyl-functionalized silica-coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (6), 2013
Background: Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Amphibacillus sp. NPST-10 was successfully covalently immobilized on aminopropyl-functionalized silica coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles; and the properties of immobilized enzyme were investigated. The synthesis process included preparing of...
