To improve the production of dextran, fermentation conditions for cultivation of an Leuconostoc mesenteroides CICC-21725 were investigated. The fermentation conditions were optimized preliminarily by using the method of univariate experiment in the shake-flask culture, and the yield rate of dextran was used as the investigation index. The result shows that when the fermentation temperature, initial pH value, rotation speed and inoculum concentration were 25 °C, 7.5 , 0 r/min and 10%, respectively, the yield rate of dextran was the highest. Under the optimal fermentation conditions, the yield rate is approximately 98%, which is about 12% higher than the unoptimized.

(1) Objective: The objective of this study was to screen amoxicillin (AMX)-degrading bacterial strains in pig manure and optimize the fermentation conditions for these strains to achieve high fermentation rate, which can provide an effective way for the practical application of bacterial strains as antibiotic-degrading bacterial in treating livestock waste for antibiotic residues. (2) Methods: Antibiotic susceptibility tests and high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) were employed to screen AMX-degrading bacterial strains in pig manure. The culture conditions were optimized for AMX-degrading bacterial strains using Plackeet–Burman design (PBD), the steepest ascent design, and the response surface methods, coupled with the Box–Behnken design (BBD). The effects of culture time, temperature, rotator (mixing) speed, inoculum level, and initial pH value on the growth of AMX-degrading strains were investigated. Experimental data obtained from BBD were utilized to generate a second-order polynomial regression model for evaluating the effects of the tested variables on the optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of culture solutions as the growth indicator for the screened AMX-degrading strains. (3) Results: The initial pH, culture time, and the inoculum level had significant effects on the OD600 value (growth) of the screened AMX-degrading strains. The initial pH value was found to be the most critical factor influencing the growth of bacteria. The optimized culture condition for the bacterial growth determined by the response surface methodology was: the initial pH of 6.9, culture time of 52 h, and inoculum level of 2%. The average OD value of 12 different fermentation conditions in the initial fermentation tests in this study was 1.72 and the optimization resulted in an OD value of 3.00. The verification experiment resulted in an OD value of 2.94, which confirmed the adequacy of the optimization model for the determining the optimal culture condition. (4) Conclusions: The growth of the screened strain of AMX-degrading bacteria could be optimized by changing the fermentation conditions. The optimization could be achieved by using the Box–Behnken response surface method and Plackett–Burman experimental design.

To improve the yield of the Pseudomonas strain N1 in the fermentation culture medium screened from the biofilm of BAF reactor, the optimal shake flask fermentation conditions for Pseudomonas N1 were determined by single factor test and orthogonal test. The composition of optimal fermentation culture medium was as follows: nitrate of potash of 4 g/L, sodium succinate of 26.1 g/L, KH2PO4 of 4.0 g/L, MgSO4·7H2O of 1 g/L, KCl of 1 g/L. The cell concen- tration could reach 9.08 g/L under the conditions. Fermentation was performed for 36h in a 250ml shake flask containing 70mL medium at 1% inoculums volume and initial pH value 7.0. The cell concentration could reach 12.86 g/L which was 2.5 fold higher than that under the original conditions. Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification could be achieved to alleviate the pollution of nitrogen in the wastewater by adding the microbial inoculums into the common aerobic nitrifica- tion sludge.

Abstract Background: Xenocoumacin 1 (Xcn 1), a kind of water-soluble antibiotic discovered from the cell-free broth of Xenorhabdus nematophila YL001, has exhibited excellent activity against bacteria, oomycetes and fungi. However, the low yield limits the development and utilization of Xcn1. In order to increase the yield of Xcn1, the fermentation process was optimized in this study. Results: Maltose and proteose peptone were identified as the best carbon and nitrogen sources that significantly affected Xcn1 production using a-factor-at-a-time approach. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the medium constituents for Xcn1 production by X. nematophila YL001. Higher Xcn1-content (113.65 μg/mL) was obtained after optimizing medium components. The optimal levels of medium components were (g/L): proteose peptone 20.83, maltose 12.74, K2HPO4 3.77. Fermentation conditions, such as initial pH, inoculum size, temperature, rotation speed, liquid volume and the length of fermentation, were also investigated by using a-factor-at-a-time method to get a higher production of Xcn1. X. nematophila YL001 was able to produce higher Xcn1 (153.56 μg/mL) at 25°C, initial pH 7.0, inoculum size 10%, culture medium 75 mL in a 250 mL shake flash with an agitation rate of 150 rpm for 48h. Additionally, kinds, concentrations and adding time of the precursor were also investigated. X. nematophila YL001 was able to produce the highest Xcn1 (173.99 μg/mL) when the arginine was added to the broth with 3 mmol/L at the 12th hour. An overall 243.38% increase in Xcn1 content was obtained as compared with mean observed response at TSB medium.Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on optimization of fermentation process for Xcn1 production quantified by HPLC. The results show that nutrition, precursors and fermentation conditions had a highly influence on the production of Xcn1 by X. nematophila YL001. The optimized medium and fermentation conditions resulted in a 243.38% increase in Xcn1 production. This work will be helpful for the development of X. nematophila YL001 cultivation process for efficient Xcn1 production and lay a foundation for its industrial production.

Eu(OH)3 with various shape-controlled morphologies and size, such as plate, rod, tube, prism and nanoparticles was successfully synthesized through simple hydrothermal reactions. The products were characterized by XRD (X-Ray Powder Diffraction), FE-SEM (Field Emission- Scanning Electron Microscopy) and TG (Thermogravimetry). The influence of the initial pH value of the starting solution and reaction temperature on the crystalline phase and morphology of the hydrothermal products was investigated. A possible formation process to control morphologies and size of europium products by changing the hydrothermal temperature and initial pH value of the starting solution was proposed.

The sorption of inorganic arsenic species, As(III) and As(V), from water by sepiolite modified with hydrated iron(III) oxide was investigated at 25 ?C through batch studies. The influence of the initial pH value, the initial As concentrations, the contact time and types of water on the sorption capacity was investigated. Two types of water were used, deionized and groundwater. The maximal sorption capacity for As(III) from deionized water was observed at initial and final pH value 7.0, while the bonding of As(V) was observed to be almost pH independent for pH value in the range from 2.0 to 7.0, and the significant decrease in the sorption capacity was observed at pH values above 7.0. The sorption capacity at initial pH 7.0 was about 10 mg g?1 for As(III) and 4.2 mg g?1 for As(V) in deionized water. The capacity in groundwater was decreased by 40 % for As(III) and by 20 % for As(V). The Langmuir model and pseudo-second order kinetic model revealed good agreement with the experimental results. The results show that Fe(III)-modified sepiolite exhibits significant affinity for arsenic removal and it has a potential for the application in water purification processes.

An improvement in the adsorption capacity of naturally available bentonite towards water pollutants such as Methylene Blue dye (MBD) is certainly needed. For this purpose, sodium bentonite was activated by two methods: (1) treatment with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as an ionic surfactant and (2) thermal treatment in an oven operated at 850°C. Batch adsorption tests were carried out on removing MBD from aqueous solution using the above-mentioned bentonites. It was found that the effectiveness of bentonites towards MBD removal was in the following order: thermal-bentonite > SDS-bentonite > natural bentonite. X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that an increase in the microscopic bentonite platelets on treatment with SDS was the reason behind the higher uptake of MBD. An increase in sorbent concentration or initial pH value of the solutions resulted in a greater removal of MBD from the solution. An increase in temperature led to an increase in MBD uptake by the bentonites studied in this work. The Freundlich isotherm model was employed and found to represent the experimental data well.

The activated carbon with high surface area was prepared by KOH activation from anthracite and used as adsorbent for removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution. The pore structure and surface properties were characterized by N2 adsorption at 77K, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR). Effect of pH and isotherms at different temperature were investigated. Results show that the prepared carbon is a microporous-and mesoporous-adsorbent with developed pore structure and abundant surface oxygen-containing groups. PH value of the solution plays key function on the adsorption. The chemical adsorption dominates the adsorption process. The activated carbon exhibits much higher Cr adsorption capacity than the commercial activated carbon at initial pH of ~3. The equilibrium adsorption data are fitted by both Freundlich model and Langmuir model well.
