    The electrochemical elimination of coliforms from water using BBD/Ti or graphite anodes: A comparative study
    (International Water Association Publishing, 2018-04-01) Gil Pavas, E.; Arbelaez, Paula Eliana; Medina, J.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Angel Gomez-Garcia, Miguel; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Desarrollo y Diseño de Procesos
    The elimination of total and fecal coliforms, from raw surface water, was carried out by electrochemical oxidation using either boron doped diamond (BDD/Ti) or graphite (GP) anodes, in a chloride-free medium. The optimal values of the operation parameters, maximizing the coliform elimination percentage, were determined using statistical experimental design. The current density ( j: 2-20 mA/cm2), the conductivity (s: 500-900 µS/cm) and the anode materials (An) were considered as variables to perform the Box-Behnken experimental design together with the response surface methodology analysis for optimization. The statistical analysis indicated that, in the evaluated range, the disinfection efficiency increased with an increase in j and decreased with an increase in s. The following optimal conditions for the elimination of total and fecal coliforms were found: j: 10 mA/cm2, s: 500 µS/cm and BDD/Ti used as anode material. The BDD/Ti electrode let to achieve complete coliform elimination after ca. 20 min of reaction while the GP one needed ca. 27 min. In water treated with both BDD/Ti and GP anode, after 7 days, any coliforms growth was observed. As a result of the oxidation process, the total organic carbon and nitrite concentration decreased while nitrate concentration increased. © IWA Publishing 2018.

    The role of volumetric power input in the growth, morphology, and production of a recombinant glycoprotein by Streptomyces lividans in shake flasks
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2014-09-15) Marin-Palacio, Luz D.; Gamboa-Suasnavart, Ramses A.; Valdez-Cruz, Norma A.; Servin-Gonzalez, Luis; Soledad Cordova-Aguilar, Ma.; Soto, Enrique; Kloeckner, Wolf; Buechs, Jochen; Trujillo-Roldan, Mauricio A.; Marin-Palacio, Luz D.; Gamboa-Suasnavart, Ramses A.; Valdez-Cruz, Norma A.; Servin-Gonzalez, Luis; Soledad Cordova-Aguilar, Ma.; Soto, Enrique; Kloeckner, Wolf; Buechs, Jochen; Trujillo-Roldan, Mauricio A.; Universidad EAFIT.

    The impact of flask geometry on Streptomyces lividans growth and morphology, production and O-mannosylation 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 0.51kW/m3, followed by coiled flasks (CF) with 0.44kW/m3 and normal Erlenmeyer flasks (NF) with 0.20kW/m3 (flasks volume of 250mL, filling with 50mL and agitated at 150rpm). 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 15mL, 150rpm (15mL-NF), and 25mL, 168rpm (25mL-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/V. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.
