Based on exoproteome analysis, B. pumilus strain Jo2, possessing a high secretion capability, was chosen for an omics-based investigation. The proteome and metabolome of B. pumilus cells growing either in minimal or complex medium was analyzed. In total, 1542 proteins were identified in growing B. pumilus cells, among them 1182 cytosolic proteins, 297 membrane and lipoproteins and 63 secreted proteins. This accounts for about 43\% of the 3616 proteins encoded in the B. pumilus Jo2 genome sequence. By using GC-MS, IP-LC/MS and H NMR methods numerous metabolites were analyzed and assigned to reconstructed metabolic pathways. In the genome sequence a functional secretion system including the components of the Sec- and Tat-secretion machinery was found. Analysis of the exoproteome revealed secretion of about 70 proteins with predicted secretion signals. In addition, selected production-relevant genome features such as restriction modification systems and NRPS clusters of B. pumilus Jo2 are discussed.}, language = {en} } @article{NachtrodtTietschMostaccietal.2014, author = {Nachtrodt, Frederik and Tietsch, Wolfgang and Mostacci, Domiziano and Scherer, Ulrich W.}, title = {Set-up and first operation of a plasma oven for treatment of low level radioactive wastes}, series = {Nuclear technology and radiation protection}, volume = {29}, journal = {Nuclear technology and radiation protection}, number = {Suppl.}, publisher = {VINČA Institute of Nuclear Sciences}, address = {Belgrad}, issn = {1451-3994}, doi = {10.2298/NTRP140SS47N}, pages = {47 -- 51}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{RaueWambachGloeggleretal.2014, author = {Raue, Markus and Wambach, M. and Gl{\"o}ggler, S. and Grefen, Dana and Kaufmann, R. and Abetz, C. and Georgopanos, P. and Handge, U.

To integrate the HGMS in a fermentation process, it is necessary to optimize the separation matrix with regard to the magnetic separation characteristics and permeability of the non-magnetizable components of the fermentation broth. As part of the work presented here, a combined fluidic and magnetic force finite element model simulation was created using the software COMSOL Multiphysics and compared with separation experiments. Finally, as optimal lattice orientation of the separation matrix, a transversal rhombohedral arrangement was defined. The high suitability of the new filter matrix has been verified by separation experiments.}, language = {en} } @article{TippkoetterWollnySucketal.2014, author = {Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils and Wollny, Steffen and Suck, Kirstin and Sohling, Ulrich and Ruf, Friedrich and Ulber, Roland}, title = {Recycling of spent oil bleaching earth as source of glycerol for the anaerobic production of acetone, butanol, and ethanol with Clostridium diolis and lipolytic Clostridium lundense}, series = {Engineering in Life Sciences}, volume = {14}, journal = {Engineering in Life Sciences}, number = {4}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1618-2863}, doi = {10.1002/elsc.201300113}, pages = {425 -- 432}, year = {2014}, abstract = {A major part of edible oil is subjected to bleaching procedures, primarily with minerals applied as adsorbers. Their recycling is currently done either by regaining the oil via organic solvent extraction or by using the spent bleaching earth (SBE) as additive for animal feed, etc. As a new method, the reutilization of the by-product SBE for the microbiologic formation of acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE) is presented as proof-of-concept. The SBE was taken from a palm oil cleaning process. The recycling concept is based on the application of lipolytic clostridia strains. Due to considerably long fermentation times, co-fermentation with Candida rugosa and enzymatic hydrolyses of the bound oil with a subsequent clostridia fermentation are shown as alternative routes. Anaerobic fermentations under comparison of different clostridia strains were performed with glycerol media, enzymatically hydrolyzed palm oil and SBE. Solutes, side product compositions and productivities were quantified via HPLC. A successful production of ABE solutes from SBE has been done with a yield of 0.15 g butanol per gram of bound glycerol. Thus, the biotechnological recycling of the waste stream is possible in principle. Inhibition of the substrate suspension has been observed. A chromatographic ion-exchange of substrates increased the biomass concentration.}, language = {en} } @article{AlKaidyDuweHusteretal.2014, author = {Al-Kaidy, Huschyar and Duwe, Anna and Huster, Manuel and Muffler, Kai and Schlegel, Christin and Sieker, Tim and Stadtm{\"u}ller, Ralf and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils and Ulber, Roland}, title = {Biotechnologie und Bioverfahrenstechnik - Vom ersten Ullmanns Artikel bis hin zu aktuellen Forschungsthemen}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, volume = {86}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, number = {12}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {0009-286X}, doi = {10.1002/cite.201400083}, pages = {2215 -- 2225}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Biotechnologie und die mit ihr verbundenen technischen Prozesse pr{\"a}gen seit Jahrtausenden die Entwicklung der Menschheit.

To establish such high solid hydrolysis, a new solid state reactor with static mixing is used. However, concentrations >10\% (w/w) cause a rate and yield reduction of enzymatic hydrolysis. By optimizing the synergetic activity of cellulolytic enzymes at solid concentrations of 9\%, 17\% and 23\% (w/w) of crude Organosolv cellulose, glucose concentrations of 57, 113 and 152 g L⁻¹ are reached. However, the glucose yield decreases from 0.81 to 0.72gg⁻¹ at 17\% (w/w). Optimal conditions for hydrolysis scale-up under minimal enzyme addition are identified. As result, at 23\% (w/w) crude cellulose the glucose yield increases from 0.29 to 0.49gg⁻¹. As proof of its applicability, biobutanol, succinic and itaconic acid are produced with the crude hydrolysate.
