Optymalizacja procesu immobilizacji komórek Saccharomyces cerevisiae w żelu alginianowym

2016

Celem prezentowanych badań była ocena wpływu dwuwartościowych kationów wapnia, magnezu i baru, na zdolność sieciowania żelu alginianowego, stosowanego do unieruchamiania komórek Saccharomyces cerevisiae, oraz oznaczenie aktywności enzymatycznej dehydrogenazy bursztynianowej w immobilizowanych komórkach. Do immobilizacji komórek Saccharomyces cerevisiae wykorzystywano zawiesinę komórek drożdży w alginianie sodu, który następnie żelowano roztworami chlorku wapnia (2, 5, 10 i 30%), chlorku baru (1, 2, 3, 4 i 5%) oraz chlorku magnezu (5%). Aktywność dehydrogenazy bursztynianowej badano spektrofotometrycznie i mierzono za pomocą ilości zredukowanego błękitu metylenowego (sztuczny akceptor elektr…

Opracowanie metody oraz optymalizacja warunków immobilizacji inwertazy drożdżowej w żelu alginianowym

2016

Zbadano wpływ różnych stężeń chlorku wapnia oraz czasu kondycjonowania inwertazy drożdżowej (EC 3.2.1.26) izolowanej z drożdży piekarniczych Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilizowanej w żelu alginianowym. Z wykorzystanych w badaniach różnych stężeń chlorku wapnia (2, 5, 10 i 30%) najwyższą aktywność enzymatyczną uzyskano dla najwyższego wykorzystanego stężenia. Wykazano, że czas 15 minut kondycjonowania żelu alginianowego w chlorku wapnia prowadzi do najefektywniejszego immobilizowania inwertazy. Dodatkowo oceniono wpływ immobilizacji inwertazy drożdżowej na jej aktywność w odniesieniu do wolnej formy tego enzymu w szerokim zakresie pH (3,5; 4,0; 4,5; 5,0; 5,5; 6,0; 6,5) oraz temperatury (21,…

Dimensional stability of contemporary irreversible hydrocolloids: humidor versus wet tissue storage.

2012

Statement of problem The storage time and conditions of irreversible hydrocolloid impressions affect their accuracy and in turn the precision of the definitive cast. Recommendations for proper storage are, however, based on theoretical assumptions rather than facts. Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of the 2 most common storage conditions on the dimensional stability of 7 contemporary irreversible hydrocolloids (IH) for a period of up to 7 days. Material and methods Twelve specimens per material (Blueprint, Cavex CA37, Cavex ColorChange, Jeltrate, Orthoprint, Cavex Orthotrace, and Tetrachrom) were fabricated according to ISO/CD 21563. The specimens were either st…

EFFECT OF IONIC STRENGTH AND MEDIUM COMPOSITION ON THE REMOVAL OF Pb2+ BY ALGINATE GEL BEADS. DPVASV AND ICP-OES MEASUREMENTS.

2012

The biosorption, i.e. a passive sequestering process by metabolically inactive biomass, shows a growing interest for toxic metal ions removal from contaminated aqueous solutions (1), such as municipal and industrial wastewaters. Since the sorption mechanism occurs mainly by ion exchange between the metal ion present in solution and the counter ion of the biopolymer (2), the efficiency of the sorption process largely depends on ionic strength and on the medium composition of solution containing the metal ion to be removed. In order to evaluate quantitatively the influence of ionic strength and medium on the metal removal process by the biomass, we report here results of a study on the sorpti…

Feedback and Communication in Active Hydrogel Spheres with pH Fronts: Facile Approaches to Grow Soft Hydrogel Structures

2021

Abstract Compartmentalized reaction networks regulating signal processing, communication and pattern formation are central to living systems. Towards achieving life‐like materials, we compartmentalized urea‐urease and more complex urea‐urease/ester‐esterase pH‐feedback reaction networks into hydrogel spheres and investigate how fuel‐driven pH fronts can be sent out from these spheres and regulated by internal reaction networks. Membrane characteristics are installed by covering urease spheres with responsive hydrogel shells. We then encapsulate the two networks (urea‐urease and ester‐esterase) separately into different hydrogel spheres to devise communication, pattern formation and attracti…

Sequestration of biogenic amines by alginic and fulvic acids.

2006

The interaction of natural (alginic and fulvic acids) and synthetic (polyacrylic acid 2.0 kDa) polyelectrolytes with some protonated polyamines [diamines: ethylendiamine, 1,4-diaminobutane (or putrescine), 1,5-diaminopentane (or cadaverine); triamines: N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,4diaminobutane (or spermidine), diethylenetriamine; tetramine: N.N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,4-diaminobutane (or spermine); pentamine: tetraethylene-pentamine; hexamine: pentaethylenehexamine] was studied at T=25 degrees C by potentiometry and calorimetry. Measurements were performed without supporting electrolyte, in order to avoid interference, and results were reported at I=0 mol L(-1). For all the systems, the formation of…
