For commercial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production the objective is to maximise the fraction of feedstock that ends up as polymer, and minimise biomass growth. In this paper, oxygen limitation was applied to achieve this. Intracellular PHA content in mixed cultures in batch systems operated with low and high DO was compared. It is shown that in microaerophilic conditions a higher fraction of substrate is accumulated as PHA in comparison to high DO conditions, evidenced by elevated intracellular PHA content: in the order of 50% higher in the early stages of accumulation. However, the accumulation capacity is not affected by DO. The PHA content in biomass in both the low and high DO systems reached approximately 35%. The time taken for the PHA content in the low DO system to reach capacity was three times longer than in the high DO system. 相似文献

The purpose of the present investigation has been to develop a tracer suite that has application in in-situ assessment and optimization of physical and biological removal and elimination mechanisms of pathogens within laboratory scale biological treatment systems. The tracer suite includes three pathogen indicators, namely, a conserved non-viable particle (fluorescently labelled microspheres, FLM), a non-conserved non-viable particle (fluorescently labelled bioparticles, FLB), and a non-conserved viable particle (Nalidixic acid resistant E. coli, NAREC). The tracer triplet principles were developed with practical experiments on planted, and unplanted subsurface flow wetland mesocosms treating a synthetic domestic wastewater. The tracers monitor for physical removal mechanisms (FLM), elimination activity (FLB), and removal thresholds (NAREC). FLM enumeration was simplified by calibration of particle concentration with respect to acetone-extractable fluorescence. Similarly, FLB elimination was assessed by bulk fluorescence using two characteristic excitation-emission wavelength pairs: 494/519 and 220/319 nm. NAREC results indicated that first order removal kinetics may only proceed down to limiting threshold concentrations. 相似文献

Thermal degradation of poly[(R)−3‐hydroxybutyric acid] (PHB) during melt mixing results in random chain scission that produces shorter polymer chains containing crotonic and carboxyl end groups. One way of preventing this serious reduction of molar mass is to add agents that react with at least two of the newly generated end groups. Different types of commercially available additives known to react with carboxyl group, namely bis(3,4‐epoxycyclohexylmethyl) adipate (BECMA), 2,2'‐bis(2‐oxazoline) (BOX), trimethylolpropane tris(2‐methyl‐1‐aziridinepropionate) (PETAP), triphenyl phosphate (TPP), tris(nonylphenyl) phosphate (TNPP), polycarbodiimide (PCDI), and poly(methyl metharylate‐co‐glycidyl methacrylate) (GMA.MMA) were mixed with PHB by cocasting from solution in chloroform. Dynamic rheology as well as measurements of molar masses before and after dynamic analysis was used to evaluate the effect of the additives on the melt stability of PHB. Measurements of the dynamic shear modulus and the molar mass of molten PHB with the additives PCDI and GMA.MMA showed a minor improvement on the thermal stability. Furthermore, TPP and TNPP did not affect the thermal stability of PHB, whereas the presence of BECMA, BOX, and PETAP gave a strong decrease of the dynamic modulus compared with neat PHB. © 2014 The Authors Journal of Applied Polymer Science Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The following experiments were designed to determine the age at which infants can first readily learn word–object pairings with only minimal exposure and without social or contextual support. To address this question, 8- to 14-month-old infants were tested on their ability to form word–object associations in a "switch" design. Infants were habituated to 2 word–object pairings and then tested with 1 trial that maintained a familiar word–object pairing and 1 that involved a familiar word and object in a new combination. Across 6 experiments, only 14-month-old infants formed word–object associations under these controlled testing conditions but appeared to do so only when the objects were moving. Although 8- to 12-month-olds did not form the associations, they appeared to process both the word and the object information. These studies provide strong evidence that 14-month-old infants can rapidly learn arbitrary associations between words and objects, that this ability appears to develop at about 14 months of age, and that the Switch design is a useful method for assessing word–object learning in infancy.

A 4:1 SERDES IC suitable for SONET OC-192 and 10-Gb/s Ethernet is presented. The receiver, which consists of a limiting amplifier, a clock and data recovery unit, and a demultiplexer, locks automatically to all data rates in the range 9.95-10.7 Gb/s. At a bit error rate of less than 10/sup -12/, it has a sensitivity of 20 mV. The transmitter comprises a clock multiplying unit and a multiplexer. The jitter of the transmitted data signal is 0.2 ps RMS. This is facilitated by a novel notched inductor layout and a special power supply concept, which reduces cross-coupling between the transmitter and receiver. Integrated in a 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS technology, the total power consumption from both 1.2- and 2.5-V supplies is less than 1 W. 相似文献

A total of 100 3–4 mo old infants in 2 experiments were assigned to 1 of 2 groups: one group was first presented with temporally synchronous auditory and visual signals during habituation trials and then nonsynchronous signals during recovery; the other groups received the opposite sequence. The auditory and visual signals were spatially congruous in Exp I, but were separated in Exp II. Since the pulse rate of the visual stimuli was changed for the nonsynchronous trials, a control group was tested that received only the light during habituation and recovery trials. The groups initially presented synchronous signals showed habituation and recovery. Neither group presented nonsynchronous stimuli showed recovery. The group with the spatially separated sources habituated, while the group with the spatially congruous signals did not. Results suggest that infants coordinate the temporal relations.

An extraction and derivatization method was developed for more environmentally friendly routine quantification of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in activated sludge biomass by gas chromatography (GC). This method can be further applied to assess relative changes in biomass carbohydrate levels relating to, for example, glycogen or extracellular polysaccharides. Further, co-extracted principal membrane fatty acids are indicative of relative changes in active biomass. The protocol is attractive for routine assessment because it does not require any chlorinated solvents, which are still almost exclusively used today for PHA analysis by GC. Acidic alcoholysis of dried microbial biomass using 3:1 butanol to concentrated (37%) hydrochloric acid at 100 degrees C for 8 h will hydrolyse and derivatize microbial storage products and membrane lipids. Esters of the hydroxyalkanoates, carbohydrates converted to levulinic acid, and long chain microbial fatty acids are reliably extracted into hexane for gas chromatographic analysis and quantification. Calibration can be achieved with benzoic, 2-hydroxyvaleric, or 2-hydroxycaproic acids as the method reference standards. 相似文献

Parallel laboratory investigations were conducted to examine aspects of two distinct but related bioprocess strategies for low sludge production in the treatment of the same TCF kraft pulp mill effluent. The purpose of this article has been to compare the performance results from these two bench-scale trials with respect to nutrient demands, nutrient discharge, COD removal, and waste sludge characteristics. The LSP (Low Sludge Production) process can be used to significantly reduce sludge yield with excellent sludge characteristics. These sludge characteristics seemed to be related to elevated protozoan grazing pressures. The BAS (Biofilm-Activated Sludge) process achieves similar reduced sludge yields and sludge characteristics while at the same time significantly reducing the nutrient demands and discharge levels. For both LSP and BAS process optimization, the selector nutrient loading is critical to the overall process performance. Selector nutrient requirements are distinct from the overall process nutrient requirements. 相似文献
