Immobilized-cell physiology: current data and the potentialities of proteomics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the sustained development of immobilized-cell (IC) technology over the last 20 years, our knowledge of IC physiology has remained for a long time in the shade of the technological advances involving IC systems. This review surveys the main physiological responses of artificially and naturally immobilized microorganisms and presents recent data on protein expression in ICs that support the existence of a specific metabolic behaviour of microbial cells in the immobilized state. © 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.

The conversion of nitrate in water to diatomic nitrogen gas by immobilized Pseudomonas stutzeri on vermiculite
Denitrification is a reduction of nitrate by heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate nitrogen compounds.Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral (Mg, Fe+2,Fe+3)3[(Al,Si)4O10](OH)2·4H2O with several layers for bacterial immobilization. The goal of this study was removal of nitrate from water with vermiculi...
متن کاملPharmaceutical Advances and Proteomics Researches
Proteomics enables understanding the composition, structure, function and interactions of the entire protein complement of a cell, a tissue, or an organism under exactly defined conditions. Some factors such as stress or drug effects will change the protein pattern and cause the present or absence of a protein or gradual variation in abundances. Changes in the proteome provide a snapshot of the...
متن کاملImmobilized Bioelectrochemical Sensors
Presently there are a number of fine and sensitive methods for determining chemical or biochemical substance among which bio electrodes represent the most recent development. Bioelectrodes consist of biologically active materials (e.g enzyme, antibody, whole cell or cell fragments) held in close proximity to a suitable electrochemical transducer that sense specific electroactive enzyme subs...
