The monoclonal antibody, raised through in vitro immunization reacted with benzo[a]pyrene metabolittes bound to DNA, RNA and proteins. The lower detection limit for the assay was 1 pmol for benzo[a]pyrene bound to DNA or RNA, and 5 pmol when bound to protein.

Activity of trypsin, covalently coupled to Eudragit S-100, was improved by protecting the active site of the enzyme with benzamidine and removing the noncovalently bound proteins with Triton X-100 in 0.15 M Tris buffer (pH 7.6). Accurate choice of coupling conditions combined with proper washing protocol produced highly active enzyme-polymer conjugate with no noncovalently bound protein. Two conjugates with 100-fold difference in the content of trypsin coupled to Eudragit S-100 were studied when the preparations were in soluble and precipitated forms. The K m values of the soluble enzyme to the lower molecular weight substrate was less than that of the free enzyme, whereas that to the higher molecular weight substrate was closer to that of the free enzyme. Activities of the soluble and precipitated immobilized trypsin with higher molecular weight substrate were completely inhibited by soy bean trypsin inhibitor, whereas complete inhibition with soy bean trypsin inhibitor was never achieved with lower molecular weight substrate, indicating reduced access of high-molecular weight substrate/inhibitor to some of the catalytically active enzyme molecules in trypsin-Eudragit conjugate.

Good agreement was generally achieved between the results from the biosensor method and the conventional 5-day test except for samples with high content of organic polymers. During the period of agreement between the measurement principles, good correlation was achieved between the biogas production rate and the organic loading rate. The results from this study demonstrate that BOD st can be a successful monitoring parameter to achieve a better process control. #

The cells were straight to slightly curved rods approximately 2.5 mm long and 0.5 mm wide. The strain was Gram- stain-variable, spore-forming and monotrichously flagellated. Growth of the strain was observed at 45–65 6C and pH 5.5–8.0, with optima of 60 6C and pH 6.5. The substrates utilized by strain 45BT were xylose, cellobiose, glucose, arabinose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, fructose, galactose, mannose, glycerol, xylan, carboxymethylcellulose and yeast extract. The main fermentation product from xylose and cellobiose was ethanol (0.70 and 0.45 g ethanol per gram of consumed sugar, respectively). Acetate, lactate, propionate, carbon dioxide and hydrogen were also produced in minor quantities. 1,3-Propanediol was produced when glycerol-containing medium was supplemented with yeast extract. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, C15 : 1, iso-C14 : 0, C13 : 0 and C14 : 0. The polar lipids diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an aminoglycolipid and 15 other unidentified lipids were predominant. The DNA G+C content of strain 45BT was 32.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity revealed that strain 45BT is located within the Gram-type positive Bacillus–Clostridium branch of the phylogenetic tree. On the basis of morphological and physiological properties and phylogenetic analysis, strain 45BT represents a novel species, for which the name Caloramator boliviensis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 45BT (5DSM 22065T5CCUG 57396T)

FB-SSF allowed fermentation of up to 390g/L of starch-derived glucose achieving high bioethanol concentration of up to 190g/L (24% v/v) with yields of around 94% of the theoretical value. The wild cassava M. glaziovii starch is hydrolysable with a low dosage of amylolytic enzymes (0.1-0.15% v/w, Termamyl® and AMG®). The Automatic Gas Potential Test System (AMPTS) was adapted to yeast ethanol fermentation and demonstrated to be an accurate, reliable and flexible device for studying the kinetics of yeast in SSF and FB-SSF. The bioethanol derived stoichiometrically from the CO2 registered in the AMPTS software correlated positively with samples analysed by HPLC (R(2)=0.99).

The aim of this work was to study the possibility of using SRB for the treatment of an acid mine drainage (AMD) at bench-scale. This process involved three stages: the optimization of H2S production through the utilization of total volatile fatty acids (TVFAs) by SRB, the establishment of a biofilm reactor for sulfide production, and the precipitation of metals by using the biologically produced H2S. The substrates used for TVFAs production consisted of papaya, apple and banana. The H2S produced from the degradation of TVFAs was utilized for the precipitation of a metal-contaminated effluent collected from Bolivar mine (Oruro, Bolivia). The maximum concentration of H2S obtained was approximately 16 mM. Removal efficiencies of ca. 100% for copper, above 94% for zinc, and above 92% for lead were achieved.

Tubers obtained from 3 different areas in Tanzania were characterised and evaluated for bioethanol and biogas production. These bioenergy carriers were produced both separately and sequentially and their energy values evaluated based on these two approaches. Composition analysis demonstrated that M. glaziovii is a suitable feedstock for both bioethanol and biogas production. Starch content ranged from 77% to 81%, structural carbohydrates 3-16%, total crude protein ranged from 2% to 8%. Yeast fermentation achieved ethanol concentration of up to 85g/L at a fermentation efficiency of 89%. The fuel energy of the bioethanol and methane from flour-peels mix ranged from 5 to 13 and 11 to 14MJ/kgVS, respectively. Co-production of bioethanol and biogas in which the peels were added to the fermentation residue prior to anaerobic digestion produced maximum fuel energy yield of (15-23MJ/kgVS).

When fermentations of pure sugars and a pentose-rich sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate were carried out in a packed bed reactor with immobilized cells of C. boliviensis, more than 98% of substrates were converted. Ethanol yields of 0.40-0.46 g/g of sugar were obtained when sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate was fermented. These features reveal interesting properties of C. boliviensis in producing ethanol from a renewable feedstock.

Sulphide production, sulphate reduction, concentration of Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs), enzyme activities and Fluorescence in situ hybridisation were determined. Approximately 5 mM of sulphide was produced during anaerobic digestion of wheat straw, while the production with newspaper as carbon source was the lowest (ca.1 mM). The sulphide production (2-5 mM) in the semi-continuous culture of the consortium A10, using wheat straw supported Cu(II), Pb (II) and Zn (II) removal up to 90%.
