The metabolies characterization of mold producing esterifying synthetase of different culture conditions were studied. A mold strain producing esterifying enzyme was isolated from Luzhou-flavor DaQu and it was identified by Biolog Microbes automated identification System. Culture conditions such as culture temperature, fermentation time and carbon source were changed. The fermentatiom broth was extracted by ethanol and analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that the strain was Aspergillus flavus. When the culture temperature increased, the molecular weight of its metabolites increased, the synthesis of high alcohol increased too, and their carbon chain lengthened gradually. When incubation time was prolonged, the varying law of the synthesis of its metabolites was alcohols-acid-ester, the metabolites with longer carbon chain produced earlier than the metabolites with shorter carbon chain. When the carbon source were starch, sucrose and bran, n-butyl alcohol and isoamyl alcohol were the common metabolites. When the carbon source was sucrose, most of the metabolites were alcohol and acid with shorter carbon chain. When the carbon source was starch, diethyl succinate was produced. When the carbon source was bran, the metabolites were less.

The metabolites characteristics of a bacteria producing esterifying synthetase in different fermentation conditions were studied. A bacteria strain producing esterifying enzyme was isolated from Luzhou-flavor Daqu and it was identified by Biolog Microbes automated identification System. Fermentation conditions such as fermentation time, fermentation initial pH and fermentation temperature were changed. The fermentatiom broth was extracted by ethanol and analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that the strain was Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius. With the prolonging of fermentation time, methanol and various higher alcohols were gradually decreased and even disappeared, but the esters were gradually increased. With the rise of fermentation initial pH, the acids were decreased. When initial pH was 7.5, more esters were produced, but some metabolites were not changed with the initial pH of fermentation, such as acetic acid, acetaldehyde, 3-methyl butanol and 3-Hydroxy-2-butanone etc. With the increase of fermentation temperature, the alcohols and acids kinds increased. When the fermentation temperature was 35°C, the more esters were produced.

Yarrowia lipolytica is one of the most studied non-conventional forms of yeast, exhibiting a high secretory capacity and producing many industrially important and valuable metabolites. The yeast conceals a great biotechnological potential to synthesize organic acids, sweeteners, microbial oil, or fragrances. The vast majority of bioprocesses are carried out in bioreactors, where suitable culture conditions are provided. In the current study, the effect of agitation speed (200–600 rpm) and air flow rate (0.0375–2.0 dm3/(dm3 × min)) on the biomass yield and lipase activity of Y. lipolytica KKP 379 is analyzed in a growth medium containing waste fish oil. The increase of aeration intensity limited the period of oxygen deficit in the medium. Simultaneously, an increase in lipolytic activity was observed from 2.09 U/cm3 to 14.21 U/cm3; however, an excessive agitation speed likely caused oxidative or shear stresses, and a reduction in lipolytic activity was observed. Moreover, it is confirmed that the synthesis of lipases is related to oxygen consumption, pH, and the yeast growth phase, and appropriate process selection may provide two advantages, namely, the maximum use of the waste carbon source and the production of lipolytic enzymes that are valuable in many industries.

Marine network protocols are domain-specific network protocols that aim to incorporate particular features within the specialized marine context that devices are implemented in. Devices implemented in such vessels involve critical equipment; however, limited research exists for marine network protocol security. In this paper, we provide an analysis of several marine network protocols used in today’s vessels and provide a classification of attack risks. Several protocols involve known security limitations, such as Automated Identification System (AIS) and National Marine Electronic Association (NMEA) 0183, while newer protocols, such as OneNet provide more security hardiness. We further identify several challenges and opportunities for future implementations of such protocols.

The bacteria capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen were isolated from cassava cultivated soils of Vietnam. The potential isolates were identified by analyzing the 16S rRNA gene and by morphological, biochemical, cultural characteristics. The selected isolates were assigned to the species Bacillus sp. DQT2 M17, Bacillus subtilis DTAN6 M17, and Bacillus megaterium DSHB I8. The effect of culture conditions on the nitrogen-fixing activity of three selected isolates were studied and the obtained results showed that the highest amount of accumulated ammonia was detected after 6 days of incubation at 35 oC, pH 7.0 with sucrose as a carbon source. The selected strains could be exploited as inoculants for microbial fertilizer production.

Plants are prone to different diseases caused by multiple reasons like environmental conditions, light, bacteria, and fungus. These diseases always have some physical characteristics on the leaves, stems, and fruit, such as changes in natural appearance, spot, size, etc. Due to similar patterns, distinguishing and identifying category of plant disease is the most challenging task. Therefore, efficient and flawless mechanisms should be discovered earlier so that accurate identification and prevention can be performed to avoid several losses of the entire plant. Therefore, an automated identification system can be a key factor in preventing loss in the cultivation and maintaining high quality of agriculture products. This paper introduces modeling of rose plant leaf disease classification technique using feature extraction process and supervised learning mechanism. The outcome of the proposed study justifies the scope of the proposed system in terms of accuracy towards the classification of different kind of rose plant disease.
