[Method] The leaves and petioles of four A. andraeanum varieties were used as explants to investigate the differences in primary callus induction among different A. andraeanum varieties. [Result]The callus formation capacity of SAM and SST was stronger than that of SDM and SHG. Among the four varieties, the leaf regeneration capacity of SAM, SDM and SHG was stronger than the corresponding petiole regeneration capacity. However,the petiole regeneration capacity of SST was stronger. The optimum medium for petiole callus induction of SST was 1/2 MS + TDZ 4.0 mg/L + 2, 4-D 0.2 mg/L with induction rate of 87.5%; the optimum medium for leaf callus induction of SAM was 1/2 MS + TDZ 2.0 mg/L + 2, 4-D 0.2 mg/L with induction rate more than90%; the optimum medium for leaf callus induction of SDM and SHG was all 1/2MS + ZT 2.0 mg/L + 2, 4-D 0.2 mg/L with induction rates of 59.34% and 79.63%,respectively. [Conclusion] In addition to variety differences, the differences in differentiation ability among different types of calluses should be also taken into account in the establishment and optimization of tissue culture and rapid propagation technology system of A. andraeanum.展开更多

We investigated the allelopathic interactions between the dinoflagellate genus Prorocentrum micans and diatom genus Skeletonema costatum and between P. micans and dinoflagellate genus Karenia mikimotoi using bi-algal cultures. Because the effects were species-specific and size-dependent, we evaluated the effect of different initial densities. At low densities of P. mieans and high densities of S. costatum inoculated into the same medium, the growth of R rnieans was weakly restrained, whereas the growth of S. costatum was significantly suppressed. S. costatum and K. mikimotoi were strongly inhibited by P. micans, in both the bi-algal cultures and enriched filtrates. Direct cell-to-cell contact was not necessary to gain a competitive advantage, thus, our results suggest that P. micans inhibited the growth of S. costatum and K. mikimotoi by the release of allelochemical(s). Last, a mathematical model was used to simulate growth and interactions between P. micans and S. eostatum and between P. micans and K. mikimotoi in bi-algal cultures.展开更多

This study was carried out to discover the commercial value of coconut dregs as a solid substrate in the production of amylase through solid state fermentation (SSF) since this agro-waste is fairly rich in nutrients, providing the necessary nutrients supplementation for better microbial activity to produce enzymes. In this study, amylase is to be produced from coconut dregs by Aspergillus niger through solid state fermentation (SSF). Three parameters were covered, which are incubation time, initial moisture content of substrate and inoculum sizes. SSF was carried out by using incubator at 37 ~C to test for enzyme activity at these following parameters: incubation time: 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours; substrate moisture content: 64, 66, 68, 70 and 72% (w/w); inoculum sizes: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mL spore suspension (5.5 × 10^6 spores/mL). Enzyme activities were measured through the estimation of liberated reducing sugars after the assay of amylase enzyme by using DNS (3, 5 dinitrosalicylic acid) method. Highest enzyme activities were obtained at these following parameters: incubation time: 72 hours (31.76 U/gds); initial moisture content ofsubstrate: 66% (26.66 U / gds) and inoculum sizes: 2.0 mL (30.56 U/gds).展开更多

This concentration reached in the region of Collo (Wilaya of Skikda, Algeria) 570 mg/L, which is beyond the WHO standard (50 mg/L). This has negative consequences on human health (Methemoglobinemia) and on the environment (eutrophication). In our works, we studied the elimination of this pollution with the use of a mixed culture of microorganisms. We replaced the standard synthetic carbon source and the nutritious medium by date powder. This contains minerals and sugars that can enhance bacterial growth. Our study showed that the effectiveness of denitrification is proportional to bacterial growth. It rises exponentially after a latency period of 8 hours. During the reaction of degradation we noticed a rise in pH in our engine, it moved from 7.00 to 8.38. In studying the influence of initial pH on the denitrification of the microorganisms, we observed that the ion hydrogen concentration modified the growth rate of bacteria and degradation of nitrates. An acid pH, the reduction of nitrates is incomplete; this is accounted for the accumulation of nitrous and nitric oxide that interferes in the reaction of denitrification. The velocity of the nitrate reduction is less important in an acid pH (0.0096 g.L^-l.h^-1) than in a basic pH (0.013 g.L^-1.h^-1). The denitrification is optimal at temperature 35 ℃ for a ratio C/N = 2.5. In these conditions 95% of the nitrate initial quantity is eliminated after approximately 100 hour treatment.展开更多

[ Method] Single factor experiment was carried out to study the influence of temperature, initial pH, culture time, different agricultural byproduct, and nitrogen source on monascus pigment in fermentation solution. Meanwhile, orthogonal experiment was conducted to get the optimal culture medium and cultivation condition. [ Resultl The optimal gene in the pigment of monascus pigment was 200 g/L of rice, 30 g/L of sweet potato powder, 10 g/L of glucose, 15 g/L of monosodium glutamate, 0.1% of zinc sulfate, and 0.1% of magnesium sulfate. The optimal culture condition was 30 ℃ and initial pH was 6.0. Fermentation time was 72 h, but when 24-L fermentation pot was used, culture time can last to 84 h.

Statistical experimental Plackett-Burman designs were applied for the selection of relevant medium components and culture conditions for cellulase, xylanase, polygalacturonase and tannase production by Aspergillus awamori, in solid-state fermentation on red grape pomace. Ten variables were tested: initial moisture content (IMC), particle size (PS), temperature, initial pH, time of cultivation, mixing (Mx), and additions of: fructose, tannic acid, sodium phosphate, and ammonium sulphate (ASA). Results indicate that the production of each enzyme was affected in a distinct way by the different variables. Also, for each of the enzyme activities considered, IMC must be carefully controlled, and optimized above 65%; PS and Mx, must not be taken into account and ASA must be discarded. The other variables studied, must be selected according to the enzyme activity that will be favored.展开更多
