Pectin-rich residues from sugar beet processing contain significant carbohydrates and insignificant amounts of lignin. Beet
pulp was evaluated for conversion toethanol using recombinant bacteria as biocatalysts. Hydrolysis of pectin-rich residues
followed by ethanolic fermentations by yeasts has not been productive because galacturonic acid and arabinose are not ferm
entable toethanol by these organisms. The three recombinant bacteria evaluated in this study, Escherichia coli strain KO11, Klebsiella oxytoca strain P2, and Erwinia chrysanthemi EC 16 pLOI 555, ferment carbohydrates in beet pulp with varying efficiencies. E. coli KO11 is able to convert pure galactu ronic acid to ethanol with minimal acetate production. Using an enzyme loading of 10.5
filter paper un its of cellulase, 120.4 polygalactu ronase units of pectinase, and 6.4 g of cellobiase (per gram of dry wt
sugar beet pulp), with substrate addition after 24 h of fermentation, 40 g of ethanol/L was produced. Other recombinants exhibited
lower ethanol yields with increases in acetate and succinate production. 相似文献

In this work, a new lab-on-a-chip for rapid analysis of low volume blood samples was designed, fabricated and demonstrated for integration of serum separation, hematocrit evaluation, and protein quantitation. Blood separation was achieved using microchannel flow-based separation. A novel method for evaluating hematocrit from microfluidic flow-separated blood samples was developed using gray scale analysis of a point-and-shoot digital photograph of separated blood in a micochannel. Protein quantitation was subsequently performed in a high surface area-to-volume ratio microfluidic chemiluminescent immunoassay using cell depleted serum produced by microfluidic flow-based separation of whole blood samples. All three steps were achieved in a single microchannel with separation of blood samples and hematocrit evaluation in less than 1 min, and protein quantitation in 5 min. 相似文献

To explore the physical mechanisms that can guide spatial organization at biological membranes, we have constructed simple, cell-free intermembrane junctions. We find that the mechanically driven patterning of proteins uncovered in our earlier work can electrostatically generate spatial patterns in the distribution of charged membrane lipids. Tuning the magnitude of the interaction as a function of composition and ionic strength, and analyzing the interplay between thermodynamics and electrostatics via a Poisson-Boltzmann approach, we are able to determine the charge density and surface potential of the junction components. Surprisingly, the electrostatic potential of the proteins is a minor factor in the lipid reorganization; the protein size and its modulation of the junction topography play the dominant role in driving the electrostatic patterns. 相似文献

A new microfluidic product for measuring fluid density, specific gravity and chemical concentration has been developed. At the core of this lab-on-a-chip sensor is a vacuum-sealed resonating silicon microtube. Measurements can be made with under a microliter of sample fluid, which is over 1000x less than is conventionally required. Since the product is MEMS-based the overall system size is a fraction of conventional density meters and it weighs much less than the traditional desk-top, temperature controlled, density meters. The syringe or pipette loaded system includes a dynamic temperature control system that operates between 0 degree C and 90 degree C with an accuracy of less than 0.01 degree C. Density measurement accuracies of 4 to 5 digits have been observed with aqueous solutions. Measurement examples and applications will be discussed. 相似文献
