The use of baker’s yeast to reduce ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate (EOPB) in conventional biphasic systems is hindered by low productivities due to mass transfer resistance between the biocatalyst and the substrate partitioned into two different phases. To overcome the limitation, a new reaction-separation coupling process (RSCP) was configured in this study, based on the novel thermosensitive ionic liquids (ILs) with polyoxyethylene-tail. The solubility of ILs in common solvents was investigated to configure the unique thermosensitive ionic liquids–solvent biphasic system (TIBS) in which the reduction was performed. [(CH3)2N(C2H5)(CH2CH2O)2H][PF6] (c2) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane possesses the thermosensitive function of homogeneous at lower temperatures and phase separating at higher temperatures. The phase transformation temperature (PTT) of the mixed system of c2/1,2-dimethoxyethane (v/v, 5:18) was about 33 °C. The bioreaction takes place in a “homogeneous” liquid phase at 30 °C. At the end of each reduction run, the system temperature is increased upon to the PTT, while c2 is separated from 1,2-dimethoxyethane with turning the system into two phases. The enantiomeric excesses (e.e.) of ethyl (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyrate ((R)-EHPB) increased about 25~30% and the yield of ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyrate (EHPB) increased 35% in TIBS, compared with the reduction in 1,2-dimethoxyethane. It is expected that the TIBS established in this study could provide many future opportunities in the biocatalysis.

AbstractIn highly purified bc1-complex from baker’s yeast, the reduction of cyt c1 and partial reduction of cyt b is obtained by catalytic amount of succinate dehydrogenase and succinate in the presence of 7 μᴍ antimycin. After the addition of ferricyanide the c1 is re-oxidized and a increase in the reduction of b is observed. Using stopped-flow we established that the oxidation of c1 by ferricyanide proceeds as a pseudo-first order reaction and the reduction of b is faster and with two phases. Our observation suggests that these two processes are not directly interconected and that other component than c1 must be the “control factor” in the anomalous reduction of cyt b. This component must be, by exclusion, the iron-sulfur protein.

Three methods for coconut oil extration using acetic acid, baker's yeast, and mixed enzymes were investigated. Coconut milk was allowed to settle for two hours; for cream separation. When the cream reacted with 25 % acetic acid at 0.l % ‑ 0.4 % levels or baker's yeast at 0.5 ‑ 2 g levels for 10 ‑ 14 hours, the oil was separated into two phases; the upper phase containing coconut oil‑rich fraction and the lower phase consisting of water. The oil phase was finally boiled for 20 minutes to remove moisture. The other extraction method was based on the combined action of cellulase, a ‑amylase, protease, and poly‑galacturonase at 0.1 % to 1 % on grated coconut meat at pH 4 to 8, 400C to 600C for 30 minutes. Oil recovely, moisture content, FFA, peroxide value, saponification value, anisidine value, iodine value and colour of the oil were studied. Up to 60 % recovery of high quality oil was obtained by acetic acid or baker's yeast treatment whilst that of mixed enzymes treatment was 73 %. These three alternatives wet processing showed significant improvement as compared to the traditional process.

Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia disease (MAS) attacking tilapia has increased in recent years as a consequence of intensive aquaculture activities, which led to losses in aquaculture industry. The agent causing MAS disease is Aeromonas hydrophila. The disease can be controlled with the β-glucan. As immunostimulants, β-glucans can also increase resistance in farmed tilapia. Studies on the use of β-glucan extracted from baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was intended to evaluate the non-specific immune system of tilapia that were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. The method used was an experimental method with a completely randomized design consisting of four treatments with three replicats. The dose of β-glucan used as treatments were 0 mg.kg-1 fish (Control), 5 mg.kg-1 fish (B), 10 mg.kg-1 fish (C) and 20 mg.kg-1 fish (D), each treatment as injected three times at intervals of 3 days, the injection volume of 0.5 ml/fish for nine days and resistance surveillance for seven days. The results showed that the difference in the amount of β-glucan and the frequency of the injected real influence on total leukocytes, phagocytic activity and resistance. Total leukocytes, phagocytic activity and resistance to treatment was best achieved by the administration of C a dose of  10 mg.kg-1 of the fish© Penyakit Motil Aeromonas Septicaemia (MAS) yang menyerang ikan nila mengalami peningkatan selama beberapa tahun terakhir sebagai konsekuensi dari kegiatan akuakultur intensif, yang menyebabkan kerugian dalam industri budidaya. Agen utama penyebab penyakit MAS adalah Aeromonas hydrophila. Untuk mengendalikan penyakit tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian β-glukan. Sebagai imunostimulan, β-glukan juga dapat  meningkatkan resistensi pada ikan nila yang dibudidayakan. Pengkajian mengenai pemanfaatan β-glukan yang diekstrak dari ragi roti Saccharomyces cerevisiae dimaksudkan untuk menguji sistem imun non spesifik ikan nila yang diuji tantang dengan bakteri Aeromonas hydrophila. Metode yang digunakan yaitu metode eksperimen dengan rancangan acak lengkap yang terdiri dari empat perlakuan dan tiga ulangan. Dosis β-glukan  yang digunakan sebagai perlakuan sebesar 0 mg.kg-1 ikan (Kontrol), 5 mg.kg-1 ikan (B), 10 mg.kg-1 ikan (C) dan 20 mg.kg-1 ikan (D), masing-masing perlakuan diinjeksi sebanyak 3 kali dengan interval waktu 3 hari selama 9 hari, volume injeksi 0,5 mL/ekor ikan dan pengamatan resistensi selama tujuh hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perbedaan jumlah β-glukan dan frekuensi pemberian yang diinjeksikan memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap total leukosit, aktivitas fagositosis dan resistensi. Total leukosit, aktivitas fagositosis dan resistensi terbaik dicapai pada perlakuan C dengan dosis 10 mg.kg-1 ikan©

If, as Chapter 12 argues, much of Bonhoeffer’s resistance thinking remains stable even as he undertakes the novel conspiratorial resistance, what is new in his resistance thinking in the third phase? What receives new theological elaboration is the resistance activity of the individual, which in the first two phases was overshadowed by the resistance role played by the church. Indeed, as this chapter shows, Bonhoeffer’s conspiratorial activity is associated with what he calls free responsible action (type 6), and this is the action of the individual, not the church, in the exercise of vocation. As such, the conspiratorial activity is most closely related to the previously developed type 1 resistance, which includes individual vocational action in response to state injustice. But the conspiratorial activity differs from type 1 resistance as individual vocational action in the extreme situation.
