PEST. This code ( 3) was developed within the framework of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute s CLEAN (Comprehensive Lake Ecosystem Analyzer) model. It includes highly elaborated algorithms for biological phenomena, as described in this volume (44). For example, biotransformation is represented via second-order equations in bacterial population density (Equation 5) in the other codes described in this section PEST adds to this effects of pH and dissolved oxygen on bacterial activity, plus equations for metabolism in higher organisms. PEST allows for up to 16 compartments (plants, animals, etc.), but does not include any spatially resolved computations or transport processes other than volatilization. 

Among the wide choice of reactor designs, the biofilm reactor is one of the best suited for azo-dye conversion as it meets two important process requisites. The first is related to the hindered growth feature of bacterial metabolism under anaerobic conditions. The second is related to the necessity to increase cell densities (see previous section) with respect to those commonly harvested in liquid broths [55, 56]. Except for bacteria that forms aggregates spontaneously, immobilization of cells on granular carriers and membrane reactor technology are the two common pathways to achieve high-density confined cell cultures in either discontinuous or flow reactors.

An extracellular peptide, EDF-A is required for sporulation of B. subtilis [202]. Its production is cell-density dependent. Thus, dilute bacterial suspensions sporulate poorly when decoyinine is added or the population is shifted down, unless EDF-A, present in the extracellular medium of high-density preparation, is added. The pheromone is destroyed by pronase and is dialyzable and heat-resistant. EDF-A production is defective in spoOA or spoOB mutants. Mutations in abrB, which suppress many of the pleiotropic phenotypes in spoOA mutants - except sporulation - restore production of EDF-AA. 

The plates are thick so that they support growth of a luxuriant bacterial lawn and therefore a correspondingly high density of amoebae in the growing edge of the Dictyostdium colony. 

A lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly that contains both proteins and lipids. The lipids or their derivatives may be covalently or noncovalently bound to the proteins. Many enzymes, transporters, structural proteins, antigens, adhesins, and toxins are lipoproteins. Examples include the high density and low density lipoproteins of the blood, the transmembrane proteins of the mitochondrion and the chloroplast, and bacterial lipoproteins [34]. Lipoproteins in the blood, an aqueous medium, carry fats around the body. The protein particles have hydrophilic groups aimed outward so as to attract water molecules this makes them soluble in the salt water based blood pool. Triglyceride-fats and cholesterol are carried internally, shielded from the water by the protein particle [35].
