A metabolic flux model was developed for Streptococcus zooepidemicus to compare the metabolism of glucose and maltose during aerobic batch cultivation. Lactic acid was the main product of glucose metabolism whereas acetic acid was the main product of maltose metabolism. This difference was chiefly attributed to the two-fold higher flux through NADH oxidase in maltose-grown cells that enabled the ATP generation rate to remain high despite a slower maltose consumption rate. The two-fold higher flux was matched by a two-fold increase in NADH oxidase activity, 2.53 +/- 0.1 mumol NADH min(-1) mg(-1) protein on maltose versus 1.07 +/- 0.04 Rmol NADH min(-1) mg(-1) protein on glucose, indicating that NADH oxidase activity is regulated by the energy status of the cell. Surprisingly, the energy status of the cell had little impact on hyaluronic acid (HA) yield and molecular weight. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The research was aimed at developing a technology to combine the production of useful microfungi with the treatment of wastewater from food processing. A recycle bioreactor equipped with a micro-screen was developed as a wastewater treatment system on a laboratory scale to contain a Rhizopus culture and maintain its dominance under non-aseptic conditions. Competitive growth of bacteria was observed, but this was minimised by manipulation of the solids retention time and the hydraulic retention time. Removal of about 90% of the waste organic material (as BOD) from the wastewater was achieved simultaneously. Since essentially all fungi are retained behind the 100 mum aperture screen, the solids retention time could be controlled by the rate of harvesting. The hydraulic retention time was employed to control the bacterial growth as the bacteria were washed through the screen at a short HRT. A steady state model was developed to determine these two parameters. This model predicts the effluent quality. Experimental work is still needed to determine the growth characteristics of the selected fungal species under optimum conditions (pH and temperature).

During puberty, pregnancy, lactation and postlactation, breast tissue undergoes extensive remodelling and the disruption of these events can lead to cancer. In vitro studies of mammary tissue and its malignant transformation regularly employ mammary epithelial cells cultivated on matrigel or floating collagen rafts. In these cultures, mammary epithelial cells assemble into three-dimensional structures resembling in vivo acini. We present a novel technique for generating functional mammary constructs without the use of matrix substitutes.
