Improved method for preparing high maltose conversion syrups.

Biotechnology and bioengineering

Saha BC, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 18588107
Biotechnol Bioeng. 1989 Jul;34(3):299-303. doi: 10.1002/bit.260340304.

An improved method is presented for producing high maltose conversion syrups from liquefied and raw starch. It comprises saccharifying the starch at higher temperatures than presently used with environmentally compatible thermostable beta-amylase and other thermostable enzymes.

PMID: 16345848
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1981 Sep;42(3):526-32. doi: 10.1128/aem.42.3.526-532.1981.

Wetwood samples from standing trees of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides), black poplar (Populus nigra), and American elm (Ulmus americana) contained high numbers of aerobic and anaerobic pectin-degrading bacteria (10 to 10 cells per g of wood). High activity of...

Influence of CO(2)-HCO(3) Levels and pH on Growth, Succinate Production, and Enzyme Activities of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens.

Applied and environmental microbiology

Samuelov NS, Lamed R, Lowe S, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 16348570
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1991 Oct;57(10):3013-9. doi: 10.1128/aem.57.10.3013-3019.1991.

Growth and succinate versus lactate production from glucose by Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens was regulated by the level of available carbon dioxide and culture pH. At pH 7.2, the generation time was almost doubled and extensive amounts of lactate were formed...

Gas metabolism evidence in support of the juxtaposition of hydrogen-producing and methanogenic bacteria in sewage sludge and lake sediments.

Applied and environmental microbiology

Conrad R, Phelps TJ, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 16346879
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1985 Sep;50(3):595-601. doi: 10.1128/aem.50.3.595-601.1985.

We developed new techniques to measure dissolved H(2) and H(2) consumption kinetics in anoxic ecosystems that were not dependent on headspace measurements or gas transfer-limited experimentation. These H(2) metabolism parameters were then compared with measured methane production rates, and...

Methods for Isolation of Auxotrophic Mutants of Methanobacterium ivanovii and Initial Characterization of Acetate Auxotrophs.

Applied and environmental microbiology

Jain MK, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 16347369
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1987 Jun;53(6):1387-90. doi: 10.1128/aem.53.6.1387-1390.1987.

To develop a biochemical genetic approach to understanding cell carbon synthesis or metabolic pathways in methanogens, Methanobacterium ivanovii was selected as a model organism for genetic manipulation studies. The organism displayed a colony size of 3 to 6 mm...

Whey fermentation by anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens for production of a succinate-based animal feed additive .

Applied and environmental microbiology

Datta R, Jain MK, Samuelov NS, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 10224033
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1999 May;65(5):2260-3. doi: 10.1128/AEM.65.5.2260-2263.1999.
Free PMC Article

Anaerobic fermentation processes for the production of a succinate-rich animal feed supplement from raw whey were investigated with batch, continuous, and variable-volume fed-batch cultures with Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens. The highest succinate yield, 90%, was obtained in a variable-volume fed-batch process...

Crystallization and initial X-ray analysis of xylose isomerase from Thermotoga neapolitana.

Acta crystallographica. Section D, Biological crystallography

Chayen NE, Conti E, Vieille C, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 15299966
Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 1997 Mar 01;53:229-30. doi: 10.1107/S0907444996010876.

Crystals of xylose isomerase from the hyperthermophile Thermotoga neapolitana have been grown using the microbatch method under oil from solutions containing Jeffamine ED 4000 as precipitant. The space group of the crystals is C222(1) with cell dimensions a =...

Comparison of assimilatory organic nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon sources for growth of methanobacterium species.

Applied and environmental microbiology

Bhatnagar L, Jain MK, Aubert JP, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 16346644
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1984 Oct;48(4):785-90. doi: 10.1128/aem.48.4.785-790.1984.

Experiments document the ability of two species of autotrophic methanogens to assimilate and utilize organic substrates as the nutrient sulfur or nitrogen source and as a carbon source during growth on H(2)-CO(2). Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum strain DeltaH and the mesophilic...

Simultaneous and Enhanced Production of Thermostable Amylases and Ethanol from Starch by Cocultures of Clostridium thermosulfurogenes and Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum.

Applied and environmental microbiology

Hyun HH, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 16346791
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1985 May;49(5):1174-81. doi: 10.1128/aem.49.5.1174-1181.1985.

Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum and Clostridium thermosulfurogenes produced ethanol and amylases with different components as primary metabolites of starch fermentation. Starch fermentation parameters were compared in mono- and cocultures of these two thermoanaerobes to show that the fermentation was dramatically improved...

Regulation and Characterization of Xylanolytic Enzymes of Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI.

Lee YE, Lowe SE, Zeikus JG.
PMID: 16348890
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1993 Mar;59(3):763-71. doi: 10.1128/aem.59.3.763-771.1993.

During growth on xylan and xylose Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI produced endoxylanase, beta-xylosidase, arabinofuranosidase, and acetyl esterase, and the first three activities appeared to be produced coordinately. During nonlimiting growth on xylan, these enzyme activities were predominantly cell associated; however,...

Requirement for a growth substrate during lignin decomposition by two wood-rotting fungi.
