Glucosamine measurement as indirect method for biomass estimation of Cunninghamella elegans grown in solide state cultivation conditions

2001

Glucosamine measurement has been tested as the indirect method to estimate the biomass produced by Cunninghamella elegans during solid state cultivation (SSC). The independence of this cell constituent content from the age and the conditions of the culture have been verified. The influence of the medium composition, in particular the nature of the carbon source on glucosamine amount is presented. Glucosamine can be considered as a well-adapted biomass indicator, with the necessity to establish for each medium tested a prior correlation between biomass and glucosamine amount. This correlation should be defined in submerged conditions before applying the biomass estimating method in SSC.

Assessment of Bioremediation Strategies for Explosives-Contaminated Sites

2013

Large amounts of soil and water have been contaminated with energetic compounds as a result of the manufacture, storage, testing, use and disposal of munitions as well as the use of nitroaromatic and nitramines as chemical feedstock for synthesis of pesticides, herbicides, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Historically, TNT (2 methyl-1,3,5, trinitrobenzene) has been the most widely used military explosive (Nicklin et al. 1999; Kulkarni and Chaudhari 2007b). Since TNT is toxic, mutagenic, and also highly energetic (Rosenblatt et al. 1991), TNT contamination has a serious impact on the environment and also threatens human health (Maeda et al. 2007).
