Influence of Matric Potential on Survival and Activity of Genetically Engineered Ralstonia eutropha H850Lr
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Although the application of biodegradative genetically engineered micro organisms (GEMs) for bioremediation is very promising, the risks of their release should be assessed before their introduction into the environment. Lux-marked Ralstonia eutropha H850Lr (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus H850Lr) was introduced into sterile and non-sterile soil microcosms at matric potentials ?2.11, ?30, ?750, and ?1500 kPa. Viable cell concentration and luminescence activity of R. eutropha H850Lr was measured by plate counting and luminometry respectively. R. eutropha H850Lr could survive better in non-sterile soil at ?30 kPa than other matric potentials. Luminescence values were closely related to viable cell concentrations indicating the usefulness of a Bioluminescence-marker system for tracking the above bacterium in the environment. Statistical analysis showed a significant effect of matric potential on viable cell concentrations. The luminescence activities in the soil environment emphasize that these factors should be considered during application of GEMs in the natural environment.

بر اساس نظریه افلاطون در باره شعر خلاقیت هنری مورد انتقاد قرار گرفته است. نظریه کلی در مورد شعر این بود که شعر از ظواهرتقلید میکند و نه حقیقت. چون سایه ای از حقیقت است. اما با پیدایش فلسفه نو افلاطونی، انتقاتات قبلی در مورد شعر و شاعری اصلاح شد. فلوطین در کتاب انئید، اساس خلق هنری را بر محور مُثل افلاطونی قرار داد. وی باور داشت که هنر مندان در خلق آثار هنری، تحت تاثیر مُثل افلاطونی بوده و عوالمی ...
BIOENERGYAND BIOFUELS Studies on the production of branched-chain alcohols in engineered Ralstonia eutropha
Wild-type Ralstonia eutropha H16 produces polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) as an intracellular carbon storage material during nutrient stress in the presence of excess carbon. In this study, the excess carbon was redirected in engineered strains from PHB storage to the production of isobutanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol (branched-chain higher alcohols). These branched-chain higher alcohols can directly su...
