Abstract

This software is composed of different programmes. It works on Apple IIe computers. It enables to capture all the data information concerning bacteriological tests to store them and to edit either personnel reports or global lists made out according to different criteria and to study them under both the statistical or the epidemiological aspects. The results of the antibiotic sensitivity test are notified either by an automatic reader (ABAC or API system) when carried out in a liquid environment or by an original computerized device (compass or enlarger) when manually carried out by the disc method. The informations are directly transmitted to the computer. It's possible to make up a common data file that can be exploited as a whole.

Determination of the phosphorylated sugars of the Embden-Meyerhoff-Parnas pathway in Lactococcus lactis using a fast sampling technique and solid phase extraction.

An experimental procedure for the determination of intracellular concentrations of the phosphorylated sugars in the lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis is presented. The first step of the procedure is a rapid sampling of a small volume of the growth medium into 60% (v/v) methanol precooled to -35 degrees C, bringing about a fast and complete stop of all metabolic activity. In contrast to yeast the metabolites leak out of the cells when these are brought into contact with methanol and are present in the medium and in the biomass after the quenching. A liquid-liquid extraction with chloroform at -25 degrees C ensures a total permeability of the cellular membrane towards the metabolites of interest as well as the inactivation of enzymes liable to alter their levels. The final step of the procedure consists in a solid phase extraction using columns with a high affinity for phosphorylated components. The internal standard was recovered to an extent of 85-95%.

Extractive cultivation of recombinant Escherichia coli using aqueous two phase systems for production and separation of extracellular xylanase.

Recombinant Escherichia coli (pATBX 1.8) secreting extracellular xylanase was used as a model system to study the application of an aqueous two phase system for extractive cultivation. An increase in the polymer concentrations from 6 to 20% in the polyethylene glycol phosphate aqueous two phase system resulted in an increase in the phase volume ratio with a concomitant decrease in the partition coefficient (K) and recovery of xylanase in the top phase. However, varying phosphate concentrations from 8 to 16% decreased both the phase volume ratio and the partition coefficient of xylanase. The polyethylene glycol (6%) and phosphate (12%) system was found to be optimum for extracellular cultivation of E. coli, where extracellular xylanase was selectively partitioned to the top phase giving a purification ratio of above 1.0. The process was extended to a semicontinuous operating mode at the optimal condition, wherein the top phase containing xylanase was recovered and the surviving cells were recycled together with the new top phase. The maximum recovery of xylanase was obtained after 12 h in the top phase with a twofold increase in the specific activity as compared to the one obtained in the reference fermentation. In the present work, we report for the first time the use of the two phase system for the extractive cultivation of recombinant E. coli (pATBX 1.8) with the purpose of obtaining a simple and inexpensive separation procedure and achieving the maximal extraction of xylanase to one phase.
