Continuous-flow system for large-scale ultraviolet irradiation of bacterial cells.

چکیده
A quartz-flow-cell system for irradiation of large volumes of Escherichia coli cultures with ultraviolet light is described. With this system kilogram quantities of irradiated cells can be obtained for biochemical studies. Changes in respiration and in specific activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase, after an ultraviolet treatment that reduced viability of culture samples to 0.2%, were in good agreement with those for cultures irradiated (52J/m2) by a conventional small-scale method to produce the same reduction in viability.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of di-sodium fumarate (DSF) and thyme essential oil (TEO) solely and simultaneously on ruminal fermentation properties and microbial abundance. A dual-flow continuous culture system (DFCC) with eight 1400-mL fermenters was used in a period of 12 d that divided to 9 d for adaptation and 3 d for sampling. Fermenters were fed 100 g d...
متن کاملSerologic estimation of thymine dimers in the deoxyribonucleic acid of bacterial and mammalian cells following irradiation with ultraviolet light and postirradiation repair.
The repair of thymine dimers induced by irradiation with ultraviolet light was detected in the DNA of human fibroblast cells, HeLa, but not in the DNA of rat glial or rat pituitary cells. Thymine dimers were detected in the DNA of bacterial and mammalian cells after irradiation with levels of light which are biologically significant, as little as 50 ergs per mmz. The detection of thymine dimers...

Successful isolation, derivation and culturing of human pluripotent stem cells, including human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem (hiPSCs) cells in laboratory scale has opened new horizones for cell therapy applications such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, most of the cell therapy protocols using these unique cells require large number of ...
متن کاملDynamic Modelling of a Compressed Air Energy Storage System in a Grid Connected Photovoltaic Plant
The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...
متن کاملExpression of Recombinant Factor IX Using the Transient Gene Expression Technique
Background: Pilot and large-scale production of recombinant proteins requires the presence of stable clones capable of producing large quantities of recombinant proteins. Not only the process of selecting stable clones is time consuming, but also the continuous culturing of clones in large-scale production may cause loss of incoming plasmid and recombinant genes. Thus, considering the advanceme...
