Axenic Growth

The trophozoites of Giardia lamblia were gradually adapted to grow in both autoclaved and filtered Diamond's TYI-S-33 culture medium. Comparative growth studies indicated that the growth of organisms was significantly higher in filtered TYI-S-33 medium. In both types of media the exponential growth phase occurred between 48 and 96 h postinoculation. The mean number of trophozoites at 96 h was 1.94 × 105 and 4.82 × 105 cells/mL for autoclaved and filtered media, respectively. The generation times for the exponential growth phase were 9.66 h. for autoclaved and 7.69 h for filtered medium. The percentage of dead trophozoites was similar in both media and was 14% for the first 8 days postinoculation.

Growth Regulating Activity

The results of studies of the influence of nanocarboxylates (citrates) of microelements on Rhizobium radiobacter 204 growth-regulating activities are presented. It was found that increasing bacteria growth-regulating activity is achieved by the content of citrates of Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe) and Molybdenum (Mo) in culture medium in complex. It was shown that the use of nanocarboxylates of microelements while cultivating the investigated strain contributes to the increase of bacterial cells titre in a liquid culture medium by 1 billion/cm3. It was revealed that the cultivation of R. radiobacter 204 under the action of citrates of microelements helps extent the exponential growth phase of these bacteria by 12 hours. According to the research results an optimized liquid culture medium was proposed for bacteria culturing.

The ability of surfactant producers to synthesize phytohormones expands the scope of their practical application and provides prospects for the development of microbial preparations with growth-stimulating properties. The possibility to intensify the phytohormone-stimulants synthesis by bacterial strains increases the efficiency of such preparations. Aim. The aim is to research the possibility of extracellular auxin synthesis induction in the presence of tryptophan in the cultivation medium of surfactant producer Rhodococcus erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 and establish the optimal concentration of tryptophan and time of introduction into the medium to ensure maximum synthesis of auxins. Methods. Biochemical, microbiological, biotechnological. Cultivation was performed in the liquid mineral medium using ethanol and waste sunflower oil as substrates. Tryptophan was added to the medium as a 1% solution in an amount of 200 or 300 mg/l at the beginning of the cultivation process or at the end of the exponential growth phase. Phytohormones were isolated by triple extraction with organic solvents from the culture broth supernatant after surfactant extraction. Preliminary purification and concentration of phytohormones was performed by thin layer chromatography. Qualitative and quantitative determination of auxins was performed using high performance liquid chromatography. Results. It was found that regardless of the concentration and time of tryptophan introduction to the culture medium of R. erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 with both substrates, a significant increase (by two to three orders of magnitude) was observed in the amount of synthesized auxins compared to tryptophan-free medium. The highest concentration of auxins (5552–5634 μg/l) was achieved by adding 300 mg/l of tryptophan into the culture medium of R. erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 with ethanol, while without the precursor their amount was only 143 μg/l. In contrast to the cultivation of the strain on culture medium with ethanol, where the synthesis of auxins did not depend on the time of tryptophan introduction, R. erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 formed the maximum amount of auxins when 300 mg/l tryptophan was added to the culture medium with waste oil at the end of the exponential growth phase (2398 μg/l compared to 9.8 μg/l on the medium without tryptophan). As auxin compounds were identified: indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-carboxylic acid and indole-3-butyric acid. However, the highest amount of indole-3-acetic acid was synthesized, the precursor of which is tryptophan. The synthesis of this auxin (the most common plant auxin) in the presence of 300 mg/l of tryptophan increased more than 40 times on ethanol medium and more than 700 times on medium with waste oil. Induction of auxin synthesis by strain R. erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 correlated with the activity of tryptophan transaminase: when cultured on ethanol without tryptophan, it was 138 nmol·min-1·mg-1 of protein, while cultured in the presence of precursor it was increased by 5.2 times (up to 714 nmol·min-1·mg-1 of protein). The obtained results suggest that indole-3-acetic acid biosynthesis by the strain IMV Ac-5017 occurs due to the formation of indole-3-pyruvate. Conclusions. Thus, it was established the possibility of increasing by two or three orders the amount of synthesized auxins in the case of low concentrations of tryptophan introducing to the culture medium of R. erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 not only with ethanol but also with industrial waste (waste oil). The obtained results can be considered as promising for use of exometabolites of R. erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 with growth-stimulating properties in crop production.

Effects Of Temperature

The effects of temperature, pH, osmolarity and aeration on the growth and differentiation of a trypanosome ofthe subgenus Schizotrypanum isolatedfrom the bat Phyllostomus hastatus were studied. In general, the growth characteristics ofthe flagellate were similar to those of Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi. However, the parasite did not growth at 33 or 37C. Increase in the osmolarity and aeration promoted growth at 33C. Significant metacyclogenesis was detected only in the growth condition where maximal growth occured (28C, pH 7.3, 380m0s/kg, in tissue cullure flasks), at the end ofthe exponential growth phase. The begining of the metacyclogenesis process was coincident with most glucose utilization and lowest pH. During metacyclogenesis both culture medium pH and osmolarity increased steadly.

1AbstractAn automated statistical and error analysis of 45 countries or regions with more than 1000 cases of COVID-19 as of March 28, 2020, has been performed. This study reveals differences in the rate of disease spreading rate over time in different countries. This survey observes that most countries undergo a beginning exponential growth phase, which transitions into a power-law phase, as recently suggested by Ziff and Ziff. Tracking indicators of growth, such as the power-law exponent, are a good indication of the relative danger different countries are in and show when social measures are effective towards slowing the spread. The data compiled here are usefully synthesizing a global picture, identifying country to country variation in spreading, and identifying countries most at risk. This analysis may factor into how best to track the effectiveness of social distancing policies and quarantines in real-time as data is updated each day.

Dilution Experiments

Isolated outer membranes and outer-membrane extracts from Escherichia coli ML308-225 in the early-exponential growth phase contain more protein than do corresponding preparations from late-exponential- or stationary-phase bacteria. Isotope-dilution experiments show that this is due to a loss of protein from the membrane during the exponential growth phase. Inhibition of bacterial growth and protein synthesis stabilizes the outer-membrane-protein concentration. Protein synthesis in the absence of bacterial growth results in higher concentrations of protein in the outer membrane.

Utilization Pathway

ABSTRACT The Puu pathway is a putrescine utilization pathway involving gamma-glutamyl intermediates. The genes encoding the enzymes of the Puu pathway form a gene cluster, the puu gene cluster, and puuP is one of the genes in this cluster. In Escherichia coli, three putrescine importers, PotFGHI, PotABCD, and PotE, were discovered in the 1990s and have been studied; however, PuuP had not been discovered previously. This paper shows that PuuP is a novel putrescine importer whose kinetic parameters are equivalent to those of the polyamine importers discovered previously. A puuP + strain absorbed up to 5 mM putrescine from the medium, but a ΔpuuP strain did not. E. coli strain MA261 has been used in previous studies of polyamine transporters, but PuuP had not been identified previously. It was revealed that the puuP gene of MA261 was inactivated by a point mutation. When E. coli was grown on minimal medium supplemented with putrescine as the sole carbon or nitrogen source, only PuuP among the polyamine importers was required. puuP was expressed strongly when putrescine was added to the medium or when the puuR gene, which encodes a putative repressor, was deleted. When E. coli was grown in M9-tryptone medium, PuuP was expressed mainly in the exponential growth phase, and PotFGHI was expressed independently of the growth phase.
