For design of a simple manufacturing process, the thermostability of the NP enzymes is a very useful feature. Although heat treatment can be used as part of a purification protocol to isolate the enzymes from contaminating materials, the high temperature of operation itself excludes undesired enzyme-catalysed side reactions. For example, in the synthesis of 9-p-D-arabinofuranosyladenine from Ara-U and adenine, using a wet cell paste of Enterobacter aerogenes, adenine and Ara-U mainly underwent deamination at lower temperatures to form hypoxanthine and uracil respectively. At elevated temperature, deamination was completely eliminated and the rate of transarabinosylation increased. 

PMN infiltration also occurs following exposure to some common microbial cotton contaminants (Enterobacter aerogenes (44), Klebsiella pneumoniae or Escherichia coll), but not others (. subtills) (45). Cotton dust extracts pretreated at 80 C and 100 C for 20 minutes cause successively higher leucocyte responses, indicating that the chemotactlc effect is not solely affected by viable bacteria (46). Thus, while the increase seen in PMNs may not, by itself, represent a pathological alteration, it could be of importance in the later development of pathological effects. 

The formation of 1,3-propanediol from glycerol by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter and Clostridium butyricum, respectively as well as 2,3-butanediol by Enterobacter aerogenes and their recovery and purification were central issues as well. The production was partly performed in a 2000 litre reactor. Glycerol metabolism in these microorganisms was established. In addition the application of the diols was investigated. 

Red-cell (dark adapted) Blepharisma japonicum were cultured in Pisa, in the dark, at 23 °C, in the presence of the Enterobacter aerogenes bacterium as food supply [7]. Blue-cell (light adapted) Blepharisma japonicum were produced by in vivo photoconversion of blepharismin into oxyblepharismin under a low intensity cold white lamp (below 10 W/m2). Blue cells were washed, collected by low speed centrifugation and resuspended in a 20-mM sodium cholate solution. The chromoprotein was obtained by FPLC chromatography of this preparation, on a hydroxyapatite column. The applied eluent was a phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), first 0.05 M and then 0.2 M. This ionic strength step affects the affinity of the biomolecules with the hydroxyapatite [8]. 

Enterobacter aerogenes, B. subtilis, P. fluorescens, and Serratia marces-cens produce acetoin by decarboxylation of a-acetolactate. However, yeasts and E. coli form acetoin from the acetaldehyde-TPP complex and free acetaldehyde (Rodopulo et al 1976). These organisms do not decarboxylate a-acetolactate, but use it to produce valine and pantothenic acid. In lactic acid bacteria, a-acetolactate is not used for valine or pantothenic acid synthesis, since these substances are required for growth (Law et al. 1976B Reiter and Oram 1962). In those microorganisms which can synthesize valine, this amino acid inhibits a-acetolactate synthesis (Rodopulo et al 1976).
