Cell affinity separations using magnetically stabilized fluidized beds: Erythrocyte subpopulation fractionation utilizing a lectin-magnetite support
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-03-20)
A magnetically stabilized fluidized bed is used to separate erythrocyte subpopulations. Binding specificity was obtained by immobilizing the lectin Helix pomatia Agglutinin (HpA) or Griffonia simplicifolia I (GSI) onto ...
Pore-scale investigation of biomass plug development and propagation in porous media
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2002-03-05)
Biomass plugging of porous media finds application in enhanced oil recovery and bioremediation. An understanding of biomass plugging of porous media was sought by using a porous glass micromodel through which biomass and ...
Growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL-B523 in an alkaline medium: Suboptimal pH growth inhibition of a lactic acid bacterium
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-01-05)
Bacterial profile modification (BPM), a form of tertiary oil recovery, diverts water from the water-flooded high-permeability zone into the oil-bearing low-permeability zone. During field use, exopolymer-producing bacteria ...
Biomass evolution in porous media and its effects on permeability under starvation conditions
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-07-05)
The purpose of this study was to understand bacteria profile modification and its applications in subsurface biological operations such as biobarrier formation, in situ bioremediation, and microbial-enhanced oil recovery. ...
Validation of a two-parameter quantitative structure–activity relationship as a legitimate tool for rational re-design of horseradish peroxidase
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-09-01)
Previously reported rates of reaction between six mutant strains of the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a test substrate, 2-methoyxpyhenol, were found to correlate with characteristic binding distances computed ...
Inhibitory effects of the macrolide antimicrobial tylosin on anaerobic treatment
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-09-01)
A laboratory-scale anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was operated using a glucose-based synthetic wastewater to study the effects of tylosin, a macrolide antimicrobial commonly used in swine production, on treatment ...
Alteration of the growth rate and lag time of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL-B523
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-03-20)
Bacterial profile modification is an important enhanced oil recovery technique used to direct injected water into a reservoir's low permeability zone containing trapped crude oil. During water flooding, the use of bacteria ...
Monitoring granule formation in anaerobic upflow bioreactors using oligonucleotide hybridization probes
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-06-20)
The process of granule formation in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors was studied using oligonucleotide hybridization probes. Two laboratory-scale UASB reactors were inoculated with sieved primary anaerobic ...
Model-based analysis and design of a microchannel reactor for tissue engineering
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-06-20)
Recently developed perfusion micro-bioreactors offer the promise of more physiologic in vitro systems for tissue engineering. Successful application of such bioreactors will require a method to characterize the bioreactor ...
Quantitative inference of cellular parameters from microfluidic cell culture systems
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-08-01)
Microfluidic cell culture systems offer a convenient way to measure cell biophysical parameters in conditions close to the physiological environment. We demonstrate the application of a mathematical model describing the ...
