Exopolysaccharide (EPS) samples were collected from the Mandapam camp, India. Morphological, biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequencing done candidate bacterium was confirmed as <i>Citrobacter</i> sp. EPS production observed bacteria in Malt medium broth (0.88 ± 0.04mg/ml). The optimal cultural conditions for follows: after 72 hours of incubation at pH 8.0 (0.75 0.1 m...

Conventional stirred-tank bioreactor (STR) designs are optimised for cultures of bacteria but not fungal cultures; therefore, a new Air-L-Shaped Bioreactor (ALSB) was fabricated. The ALSB designed to eliminate the wall growth and clumping mycelium in STRs. Ganoderma lucidum used as model its biomass exopolysaccharide (EPS) production were maximised by optimising agitation rate, glucose concentr...

In this paper we present and evaluate protocols (SMP and SMP-MH) for synchronized end-to-end multicast in real-time packet cellular networks. Our protocols extend current delay jitter control mechanisms to achieve synchronized real-time packet delivery to mobile hosts in multiple cells. We show that for a multicast session using SMP and SMP-MH: (1) the end-to-end delay bounds of each packet to ...

An algorithm for Electrical Power System (EPS) quantum/relativistic security and efficiency computation via perturbative renormalization of the EPS, finding the computation flowcharts, verification and validation is built in this paper. EPS renormalization is performed via virtual thermalization. EPS energy renormalization provides EPS critical load and outlines the EPS fractal landscape. EPS t...

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), is a rare but devastating complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) with a high mortality rate. The incidence is between 0.5 and 3.3%, decreasing with time. EPS is defi ned as a clinical syndrome with major signs of gastrointestinal obstruction, infl ammatory parameters, radiological and macroscopic changes. Duration of treatment and cessation ...

The effect was investigated of sucrose concentration on sucrose metabolism and on the formation of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis LTH2590 in pH-controlled fermentations with sucrose concentrations ranging from 20 to 160 g liter(-1). The EPS production increased and the relative sucrose hydrolysis activity decreased by increasing the sucrose concentration in the medium...

The toxicity of leachates from landfill sites in the remediated lands at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush Bay, was evaluated in four tests, encompassing three biological levels. These included: the submitochondrial particle (SMP) test, Microtox, and the sea urchin fertilisation and larval development tests. The aims were to determine the level of leachate toxicity and make recommendations on tests...

This paper reports the design of a runtime library for solving irregularly structured problems on clusters of symmetric multiprocessors (SMP clusters). Our design algorithms exploit a hybrid methodology which maps directly to the underlying hierarical memory system in SMP clusters, by combining two styles of programming methodolo-gies { threads (shared memory programming) within a SMP node and ...

We reported in the previous paper that highly purified cell-wall skeleton of M. bovis BCG (SMP-105) eliminated lymph node metastases and primary implanted tumor, presumably by generating tumor immunity, employing guinea pigs. In this paper, we investigated the immune reactions to elucidate the mechanisms of antitumor activity. Twenty-four hours after intradermal injection, inflammatory cells we...

Soluble microbial products (SMP) have been long time considered the major cause of membrane fouling when membrane bioreactors (MBR) are used for wastewater treatment. As a result, the formation and degradation of SMP have been incorporated in the conventional ASM models for a better prediction of MBR performance. This paper studies the impact of SMP modelling when optimizing the start-up of an ...
