Methods Therewere four major components in the candicidin/FR-008 complex, which were separated by HPLC under thefollowing conditions: SB-C8 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 μm) was used, the mobile phase consisted ofacetonitrileam-monium acteate (20 mmol·L^(-1) , pH 4.0) (40:60, V/V) , with a flow rate of 1 .0mL·min^(-1) , the UV detection wavelength was 380 nm, and the whole process was performed at 25℃ .Results The linearity was obtained in the range of 6.25 - 500 μg· mL^(-1) candicidin/FR-008 withthe regression equation of Y = 20 461 x + 30 748 and the correlation coefficient of 0.999 1. Theinstrument precision was 1.84% and the method precision was 3.8%. Conclusion This method isaccurate, rapid and simple; it can be used for determination of candicidin/FR-008 and relatedcomponents in fermentation broth.展开更多

Air-dried and chopped rice straw was treated with either fermentation for 30 d after adding 1.5 L nutrient solution(50 m L inocula L–1, 1.2×1012 CFU m L–1 inocula) kg–1 straw dry matter, or spraying a large amount of culture broth(1.5 L kg–1 straw dry matter, 1.5×1011 CFU m L–1 culture broth) on the straw and allowing it to adsorb for 30 min. The feed quality and aerobic stability of the resulting forage were examined. Both treatments improved the feed quality of rice straw, and adsorption was better than fermentation for preserving nutrients and improving digestibility, as evidenced by higher dry matter(DM) and crude protein(CP) concentrations, lower neutral detergent fiber(NDF), acid detergent fiber(ADF) and NH3-N concentrations, as well as higher lactic acid production and in vitro digestibility of DM(IVDMD). The aerobic stability of the adsorbed straw and the fermented straw was 392 and 480 h, respectively. After being exposed to air, chemical components and microbial community of the fermented straw were more stable than the adsorbed straw.展开更多

[Method] The effects of different cultivation time on cell concentration, pH, total protein concentration and inhibition zone were studied. The fermentation broth of Kombucha on the sixth day was adjusted to different pH. Fermentation broth treated with protease was put into the plates of Escherichia co/i, Bacillus cereue and Staphylococcus aureus as control, as well as ampenicilin. The zone of broth inhibition was measured. [ Result] The concentration of general protein was of positive relevance to the antimicrobial activity of Kombucha fermentation broth. The zone of inhibition decreased with rising pH and was the lowest when pH was 7. Later, as pH increasing, it enlarged. The inhibition effect of processed protease reduced remarkably. [ Conclusion] The fermentation broth of Kombucha revealed antimicrobial proteins.展开更多

PDMS membrane pervaporation coupled with fermentation is a promising process for efficient bioethanol production since ethanol inhibition is relieved or eliminated. From the perspective of process operation, membrane separation performance, ethanol fermentation performance and the subsequent processing on membrane downstream are the three key issues. This review aims at contributing a comprehensive overview on the operation performance of the integrated process. The state-of-the-art of the three key issues related to the operation performance is focused. Finally, the tentative perspective on the possible future prospects of the integrated process is briefly presented.展开更多
