Xanthan Production

Recently, some solid state fermentation (SSF) processes of xanthan production were studied. However, quantitative analysis of the concentration of xanthan and biomass is more complicated than that of submerged fermentation. To facilitate the analysis of these components, near–infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used. A NIRS calibration models for rapidly estimating xanthan and biomass concentration in xanthan fermentation on inert support of polyurethane foam was established. The wavenumber and spectral pretreatment method were optimized. The data of cross validation and external validation shows that NIRS was suitable for rapid and accurate quantification of the concentration of xanthan and biomass in solid state fermentation on inert support. This method will provide much convenience for the research of solid state fermentation on inert support.

Summary Background: To evaluate the implementation of the guidelines of the German Society of Phlebology for venous crural ulcer a survey was conducted during the annual meeting of the German Society of Phlebology 2008 in Bochum. Methods: All 719 medical participants got an anonymized questionnaire asking for supply of crural ulcer in their institution. Results: The recurrent 66 questionnaires (9.2%) were filled by colleagues from practice or hospital, mostly surgeons, dermatologists, phlebologists and vascular surgeons. As basic diagnostics vein doppler (56.1%), duplex (75.8%) or measurement of brachial-ankleindex (83.3%) were performed. Compression therapy is used in all institutions. Mainly used wound dressings are polyurethane foam dressings, alginates, hydrocolloids and silver dressings. About 2/3 conduct surgical therapy of ulcers. Conclusion: Supply of ulcus cruris by the participants of the annual meeting of the DGP corresponds mainly, but not in all aspects to the guidelines. Further efforts for a spread of the guidelines are necessary.
