Ensiled product from fish by microbial fermentation

Fish ensilage for animal feed stuff was prepared from Jew fish (Pseudosciaena spp.) and Silver bellies (Leiognathus spp.) by fermentation with pure culture of Lactobacillus piantarum NCIB 6105. The precooked ensiled product gave better product of fish silage (high content of lactic acid, about 5%). Protein Nitrogen content ranged between 1.76 to 1.94%. During storage for one year, the Protein Nitrogen loss was not significant. The material can be used as a supplemental animal ration.

The study and production of fish sauce from Caspian Sea lam fish with traditional fermentation method and microbe and enzyme adding method and identification of important bacteria

Fish sauce is a popular fermented product used in south Asian countries which is made from different small fishes in this research work it was attempted to produce fish sauce from kilka of the Caspian sea, the fish sauce was made from three models of kilka ,such as whole kilka , cooked whole kilka and dressed kilka , each of these models treated it four different fashions of fermentation such as:1- Traditional method, 2- Enzymatic method 3- Microbial method, 4- Mixture of enzyme and microb The results of this investigation showed that time of fermentation for the traditional method was six month, enzymatic method one month, microbial method 3 month and the mixture of enzyme and microb 1 month. The rate of fermentation was least for dressed Kilka, microbial and biochemical changes of Kilka fish sauce were evaluated, total bacterial count was 2.1-6.15 log cfu/ml total volatile nitrogen (TVN) in samples recorded was 250 mg /100g, the amount of protein varied between 10-13 percent, the name of commercial enzymes added was Protamex and Flavourzyme, the bacteria added was L act ob acillus and Pediococous, fish sauce containers fish and 20% salt, temperature of keeping for fermentation was 37 degree c for 6 month.

Biosensors for fermentation process control

Two biosensors for fermentation process control have been introduced, which were developed in our lab recently. One is an enzyme electrode-based on-line monitoring system for glutamate fermentation process control and the other is an H+-ISFET-based ENFET for penicillin G fermentation process control.

Hydrogen production characteristics of the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes by anaerobic mixed culture fermentation

The hydrogen production from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) by anaerobic mixed culture fermentation was investigated using batch experiments at 37 degrees C. Seven varieties of typical individual components of OFMSW including rice, potato, lettuce, lean meat, oil, fat and banyan leaves were selected to estimate the hydrogen production potential. Experimental results showed that the boiling treated anaerobic sludge was effective mixed inoculum for fermentative hydrogen production from OFMSW. Mechanism of fermentative hydrogen production indicates that, among the OFMSW, carbohydrates is the most optimal substrate for fermentative hydrogen production compared with proteins, lipids and lignocelluloses. This conclusion was also substantiated by experimental results of this study. The hydrogen production potentials of rice, potato and lettuce were 134 mL/g-VS, 106 mL/g-VS, and 50 mL/g-VS respectively. The hydrogen percentages of the total gas produced from rice, potato and lettuce were 57-70%, 41-55% and 37-67%. 2008 International Association for Hydrogen Energy.

Scale-up of fermentation and purification of recombinant allophycocyanin over-expressed in Escherichia coli

Phycobiliprotein is a photosynthetic antenna pigment found in cyanobacteria, rhodophytes, cryptophytes and certain dinoflagellates, which has been found to have anti-oxidative and anti-tumour activities. In this paper, a recombinant allophycocyanin (rAPC) had been expressed in Escherichia coli for anti-tumour effect. E. coli cells were cultured using glucose fed-batch method to achieve high cell densities. The biomass of rAPC was up to 3.52 g/L broth. The rAPC was purified from soluble E. coli cell lysate employing hydrophobic interaction chromatographic (HIC) method developed at the bench scale using 20 mL column. The process was performed at the pilot scale using 500 mL column for evaluation of scale-up. An amylose affinity column was used to improve the purity of final product in pilot scale purification. The purification process resulted in greater than 98% pure product and yielded up to 2.0 g/kg wet cells at the bench scale and 1.2 g/kg wet cells at the pilot scale. Peptide mapping was used to prove the identity of rAPC purified from bench scale and pilot scale process. Purified rAPC at the pilot scale was found to have remarkable inhibition on S-180 carcinoma in mice. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Pilot-scale fermentation and purification of the recombinant allophycocyanin over-expressed in Escherichia coli

A recombinant allophycocyanin (rAPC), used for treatment of tumors, has been expressed in E. coli which was grown in glucose fed-batch culture in a 30 l fermentor. Recombinant allophycocyanin was purified from soluble E. coli cell lysate using hydrophobic interaction chromatography followed by chromatography using amylose affinity column. The purity of product was greater than 98% and yielded an average of 5.5 g kg(-1) dry cells. Recombinant allophycocyanin significantly inhibited H-22 hepatoma (p (0.01) in mice with inhibition rates ranging from 36% to 62% with doses from 6.25 to 50 mg kg(-1) d(-1).
