Pichia pastoris is an excellent host for high-level heterologous gene expression, but there is still much interest in improving the productivity of recombinant protein production. P. pastoris produces a small amount of ethanol as a by-product during the glycerol fed-batch phase and the mixed-feed induction phase (glycerol-methanol) of high cell density fermentations, regardless of the phenotype...

using surface analysis, simultaneous effects of temperature (260-380ºc) and ethanol concentration (0-1%) on dimethyl ether (dme) selectivity, yields of hydrocarbon and dme, and methanol conversion were investigated in methanol dehydration reaction over γ-al2o3 catalyst. methanol conversion and yield of hydrocarbon/dme were found to be significantly affected by temperature and the temperature-et...

A nanostructured copper (II) oxide film deposited by reactive DC-magnetron sputtering technique, has been studied for static sensor response towards methanol and ethanol by operating temperature and analyte concentration modulations. The optimum operating temperature (Topt) for the sensing of methanol and ethanol is observed to be 350 ̊C and 400 ̊C, respectively. The maximum sensitivity observe...

Influence of the frequently used carbon sources in nitrate removal processes were evaluated in a lab-scale biofilm reactor. The NO3-N removal efficiency was in the order acetate>glucose>methanol>ethanol. Acetate-fed biofilm reduced nearly 100% NO3-N with negligible amount of NO2-N accumulation. Although 99% NO3-N was reduced in the glucose-fed biofilm, substantial NH3-N and NO2-N accumulated. M...

In this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of Usnea intermedia, U. filipendula, and U. fulvoreagens and their stictic and usnic acid contents were investigated. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents were evaluated in acetone, ethanol, and methanol extracts of these three species. Antioxidant activity was measured by ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic...

the presence of tribolium castaneum (herbst) in a stored food results in contamination and substantial economic damage due to loss of the products and a decrease in nutritional value. this study was conducted to determine the pesticidal and pest repellent activities of roots of laportea crenulata gaud. against t. castaneum. pesticidal activity was determined using surface film method, whereas, ...

The goal of this study was to identify bacterial populations that assimilated methanol in a denitrifying sequencing batch reactor (SBR), using stable isotope probing (SIP) of (13)C labeled DNA and quantitatively track changes in these populations upon changing the electron donor from methanol to ethanol in the SBR feed. Based on SIP derived (13)C 16S rRNA gene clone libraries, dominant SBR meth...
