Nutrient requirements Chloride

The inorganic characterization schedule for wastewaters to be treated using biological systems should include those tests which provide information concerning (/) potential toxicity, such as heavy metal, ammonia, etc (2) potential inhibitors, such as total dissolved soHds (TDS) and chlorides (J) contaminants requiring specific pretreatment such as pH, alkalinity, acidity, suspended soHds, etc and (4) nutrient availabiUty. 

Commonly administered LVPs include such products as Lactated Ringers Injection USP, Sodium Chloride Injection USP (0.9%), which replenish fluids and electrolytes, and Dextrose Injection USP (5%), which provides fluid plus nutrition (calories), or various combinations of dextrose and saline. In addition, numerous other nutrient and ionic solutions are available for clinical use, the most popular of which are solutions of essential amino acids or lipid emulsions. These solutions are modified to be hypertonic, isotonic, or hypotonic to aid in maintaining both fluid, nutritional, and electrolyte balance in a particular patient according to need. Indwelling needles or catheters are required in LVP administration. Care must be taken to avoid local or systemic infections or thrombophlebitis owing to faulty injection or administration technique. 

We can now consider some typical nutrient solutes like amino acids and phosphate. Such molecules are ionized, which means that they would not readily cross the permeability barrier of a lipid bilayer. Permeability coefficients of liposome membranes to phosphate and amino acids have been determined [46] and were found to be in the range of 10 11 -10 12 cm/s, similar to ionic solutes such as sodium and chloride ions. From these figures one can estimate that if a primitive microorganism depended on passive transport of phosphate across a lipid bilayer composed of a typical phospholipid, it would require several years to accumulate phosphate sufficient to double its DNA content or pass through one cell cycle. In contrast, a modern bacterial cell can reproduce in as short a time as 20 min.

Soil, water, and foliar analyses in coconut plantations are conducted to determine the type of fertihzer and micronutrients required by the palm. Long-term studies show that the apphcation of potassium or sodium chlorides in optimum doses as supplements to the standard nutrients for inland farms increases yields in nuts per tree and copra per nut (7, 8). 

Chloride ions are known to be required for the activity of only a few enzymes — certain peptidases. These peptidases include angiotensin II (Bunning and Rior-dan, 1983,1987), an enzyme that participates in the regulation of salt metabolism, and the cathepstns. The cathepsins are located in lysosomes, organelles used for the hydrolysis of nutrients recently transported into the cell. 

Many factors other than packaging influence the quality and type of product emerging from the brewing process. To start with, the water quality and dissolved ion content are important, both for the chemistry of the starch conversion step and for the flavor of the finished beer. Very soft waters may require addition of small amounts of calcium chloride and/or sulfuric acid, or sometimes gypsum (CaS04-2H20) to provide sufficient trace nutrients for the yeast and a sufficiently low pH for a good product.
