Bacteria fermentative

Aliphatic polyesters based on monomers other than a-hydroxyalkanoic acids have also been developed and evaluated as drug delivery matrices. These include the polyhydroxybutyrate and polyhydroxy valerate homo- and copolymers developed by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) from a fermentation process and the polycaprolactones extensively studied by Pitt and Schindler (14,15). The homopolymers in these series of aliphatic polyesters are hydrophobic and crystalline in structure. Because of these properties, these polyesters normally have long degradation times in vivo of 1-2 years. However, the use of copolymers and in the case of polycaprolactone even polymer blends have led to materials with useful degradation times as a result of changes in the crystallinity and hydrophobicity of these polymers. An even larger family of polymers based upon hydroxyaliphatic acids has recently been prepared by bacteria fermentation processes, and it is anticipated that some of these materials may be evaluated for drug delivery as soon as they become commercially available.

In the production of yoghurt, milk is initially heated to 90 °C for 15-30 minutes to kill any bacteria in the milk. After cooling to 40 °C, a starter culture of Lactobacillus bacteria is added and the mixture incubated at 40 °C for eight hours (Figure 7.20). The bacteria ferment the lactose... 

In the absence of oxygen, in a closed reactor, anaerobic bacteria ferment organic matter into methane and carbon dioxide, a mixture named biogas. Biogas is produced through the activity of common methane bacteria that cause anaerobic degradation over a broad temperature range from 10°C to over 100°C. 

Many other chemicals can be obtained from both yeast and bacteria fermentation of sugars and pulp mill effluents. Potential fermentation products from wood hydrolysates include acetone, organic acids (acetic, butyric, lactic), glycerol, butanediol, and others.42... 

Methane fermentation in natural ecosystems is usually described as a two-stage system in which nonmethanogenic bacteria ferment organic matter such as carbohydrate yielding such products as acetate, formate, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. The methanogenic bacteria are restricted... 

The production of CPS by bacteria fermentation-extraction-purification procedures presently reaches a very efficient level. Purified CPS or LPS should be chemically modified for conjugation to a protein by a very complex procedure and give a final product that needs to be as defined as possible. If the production or purification of the carbohydrate material from the natural source is difficult and one bears in mind the complexity of producing a consistent glycoconjugate from a natural pol)mer then opportunities for modern synthetic carbohydrate chemistry are at hand. 

Biochemical conversion processes Enz)unes and micro-organisms are frequently used as biocatalysts to convert biomass or biomass-derived compounds into desirable products. Cellulase and hemicellulase enzymes break down the carbohydrate fractions of biomass into five-and six-carbon sugars, a process known as hydrolysis. Yeast and bacteria ferment the sugars into products such as ethanol. Biotechnology advances are expected to lead to dramatic biochemical conversion improvements. 

As suggested by its name, this genus of bacteria ferments glucose Into lactic acid and is widely used in the food industry. Lactobacillus is also a component of the normal human bacterial flora of the urogenital tract where, because of its ability to generate an acidic environment, it prevents the growth of harmful bacteria.

VFA analysis is important in the ripening control of cheeses, particularly of hard cheeses. HSGC offers a rapid route to check for the presence of unwanted Clostridia species. These bacteria ferment lactic acid and are capable of forming large amounts of gas and butyric acid, which spoils the cheese. An elegant way of sample preparation for final HSGC analysis was devised by Osl (1988). A cheese slurry is made it is then refrigerated in order to crystallize the fat, filtered to remove the solidified fat and diluted with ethanol. To this ethanolic solution concentrated sulphuric acid is added as well as valeric acid as an internal standard this solution is then thermo-statted for 1 h at 80°C, and the ethyl esters formed are sampled from the HS. 

Other examples are balady bread from Egypt (Doma et al., 1991), Italian panettone and pandoro (Spicher, 1989). Saltine crackers is another product in which both yeast and bacteria fermentations play a major role in the manufacturing (Rogers and Hoseney, 1989). 

In the northern part of Europe, the necessary acidification of dough for rye bread is often obtained by lactic acid bacteria fermentation.
