These results team at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) confirm the excellent suitability of this bioprocess to assess the reproducibility of parallel cell culture system for efficient process development. Introduction Bioprocess development aims at maximizing the yield and System equipped with BioBLU Single-Use Vessels perform the quality of the desired end product while minimizing comparably. To assess this, the Eibl team analyzed the costs. Numerous process variables exist, including cell growth and viability, and the metabolic profile in four the producer strain, the medium composition, the process parallel CHO cell processes. duration, the feeding strategy, and process parameters like temperature, pH, and DO. Researchers usually optimize many of them by empirical experimentation, which requires many process runs. Parallel bioprocess systems have the great advantage that multiple experimental parameters can be tested simultaneously in one run, which ensures maximal comparability between runs and saves precious time. The development time can be further reduced by the use of single-use bioreactors. With single-use equipment lengthy cleaning and sterilization procedures are omitted and the time between runs can be reduced.

The major drawback impeding wider application of MBRs is membrane fouling, which significantly reduces membrane performance and lifespan, resulting in a significant increase in maintenance and operating costs. Finding sustainable membrane fouling mitigation strategies in MBRs has been one of the main concerns over the last two decades. This paper provides an overview of membrane fouling and studies conducted to identify mitigating strategies for fouling in MBRs. Classes of foulants, including biofoulants, organic foulants and inorganic foulants, as well as factors influencing membrane fouling are outlined. Recent research attempts on fouling control, including addition of coagulants and adsorbents, combination of aerobic granulation with MBRs, introduction of granular materials with air scouring in the MBR tank, and quorum quenching are presented. The addition of coagulants and adsorbents shows a significant membrane fouling reduction, but further research is needed to establish optimum dosages of the various coagulants/adsorbents. Similarly, the integration of aerobic granulation with MBRs, which targets biofoulants and organic foulants, shows outstanding filtration performance and a significant reduction in fouling rate, as well as excellent nutrients removal.

  • The Stoichiometry of a Reaction Introduction This Experiment Provides a Method to Determine the Mole Ratio in Which Two Substances Combine Chemically
    The Stoichiometry of a Reaction Introduction This experiment provides a method to determine the mole ratio in which two substances combine chemically. Such information is helpful in determining the stoichiometry of a reaction, i.e. the balanced chemical equation and the information that can be derived from it. The principle underlying this experiment is based on keeping the quantity of one reactant constant while varying the quantity of a second reactant. The mass of the precipitate produced is then used as an indicator of the effect of varying the quantity of the second reactant. When enough of the second reactant has been added to completely react with the first reactant, there will be no further increase in the amount of the precipitate produced, regardless of how much of the second one is added. Equipment/Materials 0.1M Pb(NO3)2 Stirring rod 0.1M KI Funnel 5 % HNO3 Side-armed Erlenmeyer flask Filter paper Hot plate 10mL automatic pipets Analytical balance 50 mL beakers Wash bottle of DI water Safety • Goggles must be worn at all times in the laboratory. • Pour any leftover solution in the designated containers. • Follow your instructor’s directions for the disposal of the precipitates. Guiding Questions Which trial(s) will give the most precipitate? Why? 9A-1 Procedure 1. In this experiment the stoichiometry of the lead nitrate – potassium iodide system will be investigated. The volume of the potassium iodide will be held constant while the volume of the lead nitrate is varied. The concentration of both solutions will be 0.1000 M.

    Analysis of the light intensity dependence of the growth of Synechocystis and of the light distribution in a photobioreactor energized by 635 nm light Alessandro Cordara1,2, Angela Re2, Cristina Pagliano1, Pascal Van Alphen3, Raffaele Pirone4, Guido Saracco2,5, Filipe Branco dos Santos3, Klaas Hellingwerf3 and Nicolò Vasile2 1 Applied Science and Technology Department—Biosolar Lab, Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy 2 Centre for Sustainable Future Technologies, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Turin, Italy 3 Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands 4 Applied Science and Technology Department, Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy 5 Current affiliation: Applied Science and Technology Department, Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy ABSTRACT Synechocystis gathered momentum in modelling studies and biotechnological applications owing to multiple factors like fast growth, ability to fix carbon dioxide into valuable products, and the relative ease of genetic manipulation. Synechocystis physiology and metabolism, and consequently, the productivity of Synechocystis- based photobioreactors (PBRs), are heavily light modulated. Here, we set up a turbidostat-controlled lab-scale cultivation system in order to study the influence of varying orange–red light intensities on Synechocystis growth characteristics and photosynthetic activity. Synechocystis growth and photosynthetic activity were found - - to raise as supplied light intensity increased up to 500 mmol photons m 2 s 1 and to - - enter the photoinhibition state only at 800 mmol photons m 2 s 1. Interestingly, reverting the light to a non-photo-inhibiting intensity unveiled Synechocystis to be able to promptly recover. Furthermore, our characterization displayed a clear correlation between variations in growth rate and cell size, extending a phenomenon previously observed in other cyanobacteria.

    PROTOCOL Building a morbidostat: an automated continuous- culture device for studying bacterial drug resistance under dynamically sustained drug inhibition Erdal Toprak1,2, Adrian Veres3, Sadik Yildiz2, Juan M Pedraza4, Remy Chait1, Johan Paulsson1,5 & Roy Kishony1,5 1Department of Systems Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. 2Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabanci University, Istanbul, Turkey. 3Health Sciences and Technology Program, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. 4Department of Physics, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia. 5School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Correspondence should be addressed to E.T. ([email protected]) or R.K. ([email protected]). Published online 21 February 2013; doi:10.1038/nprot.2013.021 We present a protocol for building and operating an automated fluidic system for continuous culture that we call the ‘morbidostat’. The morbidostat is used to follow the evolution of microbial drug resistance in real time. Instead of exposing bacteria to predetermined drug environments, the morbidostat constantly measures the growth rates of evolving microbial populations and dynamically adjusts drug concentrations inside culture vials in order to maintain a constant drug-induced inhibition. The growth rate measurements are done using an optical detection system that is based on measuring the intensity of back-scattered light from bacterial cells suspended in the liquid culture. The morbidostat can additionally be used as a chemostat or a turbidostat. The whole system can be built from readily available components within 2–3 weeks by biologists with some electronics experience or engineers familiar with basic microbiology. INTRODUCTION Antibiotic resistance is an important public health problem, ren- at a constant rate lower than the maximal growth rate of the popu- dering currently available drugs useless and threatening millions lation, the dilution rate of the morbidostat rdilution ≅ ∆V/(V·∆t) is of lives1–4.
