Ítem Biodegradation of vegetable residues by polygalacturonase-agar using a trickle-bed bioreactor(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2018-09-01) Ramírez-Tapias, Y.A.; Rivero, C.W.; Giraldo-Estrada, C.; Britos, C.N.; Trelles, J.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Ciencias Biológicas y Bioprocesos (CIBIOP)Bacterial pectinases degrade the pectic substances present in plant tissues and particularly, polygalacturonases catalyze the hydrolysis of a-(1,4) glycosidic bonds linking D-galacturonic acid units. In this study, polygalacturonase from Streptomyces halstedii ATCC 10897 was immobilized by the matrix entrapment technique using different thermogels. Bacteriological agar added with magnesium cation produced beads with a more stabilized microstructure for enzyme retention, monitored by oscillatory measurements of storage and loss modulus. Agar concentration and protein content were optimized to maximize protein entrapment, product conversion, and reaction yield. Results showed that the mixture at 10:90% (v/v) of protein (2 mg/mL) and agar (4% w/v) was the best immobilization condition to retain 91% of protein and hydrolyze 38% of pectin to allow the highest reaction yield (9.279 g/g) and increase stability up to 48 h of successive reactions. Agarose bead biocatalysts were used in a trickle-bed column operated with recirculation, and this bioreactor allowed the degradation of pear and cucumber residues by enzymatic liquefaction to enhance sugar content up to 15.33 and 9.35 mg/mL, respectively, and decrease viscosity by 92.3%. The scale-up of this process adds value to vegetable residues such as fructooligosaccharides or fermentable sugars, which become a sustainable source of fuels and chemicals. © 2018 Institution of Chemical EngineersÍtem Diseño, montaje y caracterización de fotobiorreactores airlift para el cultivo de la microalga Chlorella sorokiniana(Universidad EAFIT, 2013) Fernández Ángel, Miguel; Sáez Vega, Alex ArmandoEste trabajo presenta el diseño, el montaje, la operación y evaluación de una configuración de fotobiorreactor airlift de tubos concéntricos para el cultivo de la microalga Chlorella sorokiniana -- El diseño se encargó del dimensionamiento del modelo de airlift -- Obedeciendo también a consideraciones de sujeción y de mantenimiento, se optó por construir 3 ejemplares de 9L de capacidad nominal, 51cm de alto y 17cm de diámetro -- Un cilindro interno y concéntrico de 6.5cm de diámetro, perforado en su parte inferior actuó como columna de burbujeo -- Estas dimensiones le otorgaron al modelo construido una relación altura/diámetro (h=D) de 3, y una relación área downcomer/área riser (Ad=Ar) de 7. Los anteriores coeficientes delataron un montaje de reactor \chato" con un downcomer sobredimensionado -- El montaje de fotobiorreactores airlift se realizó con láminas de polimetilmetacrilato de 5mm de espesor -- Este material fue seleccionado por sus amplias posibilidades de termoformado, su baja densidad (1.19 g=mL), su alta transparencia (93 %) y su disponibilidad en la ciudad de Medellín -- Para la operación de los reactores así construidos, se indagó sobre sus necesidades de automatización -- Los micro-PLC fueron escogidos como la mejor alternativa tecnológica de control por su robustez, fiabilidad, adaptadas posibilidades de programación y precio -- Se cableó un AL2-14MR-DTM de Mitsubishi R en sus salidas en relés para la temporización de la iluminación y de la soplante -- Los reactores fueron evaluados con el análisis de las cinéticas de crecimiento de la microalga Chlorella sorokiniana a diferentes condiciones de luz, medio de cultivo y burbujeo -- Se encontró que con niveles de luz de 40W (para luz blanca y de colores) se lograban mayores productividades promedio a los 15 días de hasta 2.86E+04 células d a1 L1 y mayores densidades celulares máximas de hasta 5.70E+05 células L1 que con los tratamientos con 20W de luz blanca -- Las cinéticas obtenidas en medio con fertilizante triple 18 alcanzaron densidades celulares superiores a las de medio Bristol -- Las cinéticas desarrolladas en medio Bristol presentaron un declive muy marcado a los 25 días, frente a las cinéticas más duraderas generadas en el medio con fertilizante -- No se constataron cambios morfológicos evidentes de un medio de cultivo a otro -- Niveles de burbujeo altos no llevaron a mayores productividades o concentraciones celulares -- Por otro lado, la operación de estos fotobiorreactores llevó a considerar la base de los reactores airlift como una zona crítica, a la que debe prestársele mucha atención, por cuanto allí se presentan puntos muertos y sedimentacionesÍtem Effect of medium components and culture conditions in Bacillus subtilis EA-CB0575 spore production(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015-10-01) Posada-Uribe, Luisa F.; Romero-Tabarez, Magally; Villegas-Escobar, Valeska; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Ciencias Biológicas y Bioprocesos (CIBIOP)Bacillus subtilis spores have important biotechnological applications; however, achieving both, high spore cell densities and sporulation efficiencies in fermentation, is poorly reported. In this study, medium components and culture conditions were optimized with different statistical methods to increase spore production of the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria B. subtilis EA-CB0575. Key medium components were determined with Plackett-Burman (PB) design, and the optimum concentration levels of two components (glucose, MgSO4·7H2O) were optimized with a full factorial and central composite design, achieving 1.37 × 10(9) CFU/mL of spore cell density and 93.5 % of sporulation efficiency in shake flask. The optimized medium was used to determine the effect of culture conditions on spore production at bioreactor level, finding that maintaining pH control did not affect significantly spore production, while the interaction of agitation and aeration rates had a significant effect on spore cell density. The overall optimization generated a 17.2-fold increase in spore cell density (8.78 × 10(9) CFU/mL) and 1.9-fold increase in sporulation efficiency (94.2 %) compared to that of PB design. These results indicate the potential of B. subtilis EA-CB0575 to produce both, high spore cell densities and sporulation efficiencies, with very low nutrient requirements and short incubation period which can represent savings of process production.Ítem Effect of mixed liquor volatile suspended solids on membrane Fouling during short and long-term operation of membrane bioreactor(Universidad EAFIT, 2014-12-19) Estrada-Arriaga, Edson Baltazar; Mijaylova Nacheva, Petia; García-Sánchez, LilianaÍtem The role of volumetric power input in the growth, morphology, and production of a recombinant glycoprotein by Streptomyces lividans in shake flasks(Elsevier, 2014) Gamboa Suasnavart, Ramsés A; Servín González, Luis; Soto, Enrique; Klöckner, Wolf; Büchs, Jochen; Trujillo Roldán, Mauricio A; Marín Palacio, Luz Deisy; Valdez Cruz, Norma Adriana; Córdova Aguilar, María Soledad; Unidad de Bioprocesos, Departamento de Biología Molecular y Biotecnología, Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México; Centro de Ciencias Aplicadas y Desarrollo Tecnológico, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México; AVT–Biochemical Engineering, RWTH Aachen University; Departamento de Biología Molecular y Biotecnología, Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Mauricio A TrujilloRoldán (maurotru@gmail.com); Ciencias Biológicas y Bioprocesos (CIBIOP)The impact of flask geometry on Streptomyces lividans growth and morphology, production and Omannosylation of a recombinant O-glycoprotein (APA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis) was described and associated to the evolution of the volumetric power input (P/V) in three shake flask geometries -- During the exponential growth, the highest P/V was found in baffled flasks (BF) with 0.51 kW/m3, followed by coiled flasks (CF) with 0.44 kW/m3 and normal Erlenmeyer flasks (NF) with 0.20 kW/m3 (flasks volume of 250 mL, filling with 50 mL and agitated at 150 rpm) -- During the stationary phase, P/V decreased 20% in BF and CF, but increased two times in NF, surely due to changes in mycelial morphology and its effects on rheology -- Also, NF cultures were carried out at a filling volume and agitation of 15 mL, 150 rpm (15 mL-NF), and 25 mL, 168 rpm (25 mL-NF), in order to raise P/V closely to the values obtained in CF -- However, different growth, morphology and recombinant protein productivity were obtained -- These data indicate that P/V is not a definitive parameter that can determine bacteria growth and morphology, not even glycoprotein production -- But it can be proposed that the oxygen transfer in the center of the pellets and hydromechanical stress might be the more relevant parameters than P/VÍtem Scale-up from shake flasks to pilot-scale production of the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense for preparing a liquid inoculant formulation(SPRINGER, 2013-11-01) Trujillo-Roldan, Mauricio A.; Valdez-Cruz, Norma A.; Gonzalez-Monterrubio, Cesar F.; Acevedo-Sanchez, Eduardo V.; Martinez-Salinas, Carlos; Garcia-Cabrera, Ramses I.; Gamboa-Suasnavart, Ramses A.; Marin-Palacio, Luz D.; Villegas, Jesus; Blancas-Cabrera, Abel; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Ciencias Biológicas y Bioprocesos (CIBIOP)Azospirillum brasilense has industrial significance as a growth promoter in plants of commercial interest. However, there is no report in the literature disclosing a liquid product produced in pilot-scale bioreactors and is able to be stored at room temperature for more than 2 years. The aim of this work was to scale up a process from a shake flask to a 10-L lab-scale and 1,000-L pilot-scale bioreactor for the production of plant growth-promoting bacterium A. brasilense for a liquid inoculant formulation. Furthermore, this work aimed to determine the shelf life of the liquid formulation stored at room temperature and to increase maize crops yield in greenhouses. Under a constant oxygen mass transfer coefficient (K L a), a fermentation process was successfully scaled up from shake flasks to 10- and 1,000-L bioreactors. A concentration ranging from 3.5 to 7.5 × 108 CFU/mL was obtained in shake flasks and bioreactors, and after 2 years stored at room temperature, the liquid formulation showed one order of magnitude decrease. Applications of the cultured bacteria in maize yields resulted in increases of up to 95 % in corncobs and 70 % in aboveground biomass. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Ítem Scale-up from shake flasks to pilot-scale production of the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense for preparing a liquid inoculant formulation(Springer Verlag, 2013) Villegas, Jesús; Trujillo Roldán, Mauricio Alberto; Blancas Cabrera, Abel; Gamboa Suasnavart, Ramsés Adolfo; García Cabrera, Ramsés I.; Acevedo Sánchez, Eduardo V.; Valdez Cruz, Norma Adriana; González Monterrubio, César Fernando; Martínez Salinas, Carlos; Marín Palacio, Luz Deisy; Unidad de Bioprocesos, Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México; Biofábrica Siglo XXI S.A. de C.V., Carretera México-Oaxaca Km 106, Col; Universidad EAFIT.
