Putida Case Study

Improved Essays
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Prior to capture the P.putida behavior in metabolic modelling experiments, Growth and productivity level of PHAs in Pseudomonas putida was assessed by various types of carbon sources in shake flask and batch cultivation. In the PHA production process, productivity level is influenced by the availability and types of carbon source
Production of PHA in shake flask condition
Shake flask cultivation of P.putida was carried out with various types of carbon sources. The carbon sources were categorized based on the nature of the substrates such as structurally related substrates Linoleic acid (Polyunsaturated fatty acid) Oleic acid(Mono saturated fatty acid), Lauric acid (Saturated fatty acids) Octanoic acid(Saturated

It reached the maximum biomass of 2.32 g/L at 36 h and then the growth was retarded. Obtained final biomass was 1.32 fold higher than linoleic acid that produced maximum amount of PHA. Finally it yields 0.32 g/L of PHA with 14.8% PHA content from the resulting biomass which is lower than other carbon sources employed in shake flask cultivation. Polymer strongest band carbonyl ester also seen in 1742cm-1.It further confirmed mcl PHA also from the structurally unrelated carbon …show more content…
putida shows that an unusually long lag phase was observed (12 hours) when grows on glycerol (Glycerol mcl PHA REVIEW) .Escapa .et.al pinpointed that supplementing small amount of fatty acids or glucose, the length of lag phase can be minimized. Here, lag phase was eliminated by higher concentration of cells with nitrogen enriched complex medium as a inoculum. It can be clearly seen in fig maximum specific growth rate 0.6 h-1 and it is declined to 0.01h-1at 24 h . At 27 h maximum of 2.8 g/L biomass was achieved later, it was decreased to 2.8 g/L at 30h. Finally, 0.52 g/L of PHA was obtained from the 2.8 g/L of biomass with 15.3% PHA yield. When compare with glucose carbon allocated exclusively for biomass (PHA free biomass) was increased by 37 % further, PHA yield from total biomass was increased by 39 %. Higher productivity of PHA from glycerol was due to the reduced nature than glucose.Both biomass and PHA productivity level was higher than glucose.FTIR Showed the maximum relative absorbance at 1742 to confirm the polymer

    Usha and Manoj, 1) I am currently actively pushing to move both suites at your property at 2090 Sugarloaf Parkway. a) Second Floor 1,250 SF suite: As far as the second floor space (1,250 SF) is concerned, I continue to receive and come across rather "random" inquiries and prospects, but none of them appear truly substantive or qualified. And these prospects simply do not exhibit overt professionalism. Although there has been various sorts of inquiries, as an example, a few days ago, I've received an inquiry from a prospect stating that he is just starting out a general contracting business (less than a year in operation) and says he is interested in a lease not more than 12 months. For an identical space like yours elsewhere, I would've have probably already leased it to a small professional, but reliable tenants such as a small CPA, single person operation attorney with an assistant or two, insurance agency that is reliable, psychologist who have been in practice for some time, etc, etc., etc.,, but many of the prospects that I have run to in this neighborhood (and continue to come across) are prospects in an "unproven" business and/or lacks any traceable history within one particular industry.…

    If the microorganism can use glucose as the sole carbon source, growth is seen. If glucose cannot be used as the sole carbon source, no growth is seen. It was observed that Micrococcus luteus does not grow on glucose minimal media, therefore it cannot grow when glucose is the sole source of carbon. Citrobacter freundii was observed to grow on glucose minimal media, therefore it can use glucose as the sole source of carbon. Hafnia alvei was observed to grow on glucose minimal media, therefore it can use glucose as the sole source of carbon.…

    There were sp3 C-H peaks in the 2800-3100cm-1, sp2 C-H peaks in the 3100cm-1 range and C= C peaks in the 1620-1680cm-1. The conditions of this lab favored thermodynamic, since the reaction was under thermodynamic control that means the product with lost energy forms in the largest yield. 1-methylcyclohexene is the thermodynamic product because it is the most stable. The percent yield of product was 14.8 percent and the theoretical yield was 0.583g.…

    For the culture media tests, synthetic medium, tryptic soy broth (TSB), SF medium, MacConkey agar, and nutrient agar and glucose were used to detect if specific organisms would grow on each media. Synthetic medium is defined media and the contents are exactly known. A positive result would be if one could see cells within the medium after incubation, and means that the the media provides all the nutrients the organism needs to grow. A negative result would be a clear medium without physical signs of growth, and means that the organism requires supplementation. TSB is a complex medium in which the exact chemical composition is unknown.…

    The hypothesis that was tested in this experiment was that both strains of brewer’s yeast will grow better in fermentable sugars (sucrose) than in non-fermentable sugars (glycerol) because it is a better carbon source. The prediction for this experiment is that the fermentable sugar (sucrose) will cause the TRY 143 flo ↑ yeast to increase growth the greatest and the TRY 140 flo ↓ to increase in growth less significant than the TRY 143 flo ↑. This prediction is based upon the fact that TRY 143 ↑ has more gene expression than TRY 140 flo ↓ and because of this it is more adhesive to itself. For this experiment, the Sucrose should cause the diameter of TRY 143 flow ↑ to have the most growth compared to the other strain of…

    In recent years polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have received considerable attention due to their diverse properties regarding thermoplastic and elastomeric nature as well as biocompatibility and biodegradability. PHAs produce by bacteria in the form of storage compound as carbon and energy source under the stress of nutrient(s) in the availability of abundant carbon source. While bacteria come under the stress of nutrient these energy storage compounds are break down in smaller fragments that degraded and consumed by bacterial cells. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) create an ultimate carbon and energy storage material because of their lower solubility and high molecular weight, which apply slight osmotic pressure on the cell of bacterial species (Sudesh et al., 2000; Peters and Rehm, 2005; Keshavarz and Roy, 2010).…
