Metabolism and energetics of Lactococcus lactis during growth in complex oy synthetic media
Article Abstract:
The metabolism and energetics of Lactococcus lactis during growth in complex or synthetic media was examined to present the availability of different defined media for the growth of L. lactis and understand its metabolic behavior. The study made use of complete fermentation balances that emphasizes accurate amino acid consumption, growth characteristics and kinetic behavior of carbon and energy fluxes. Results show both amino acid consumption and biomass formation were a function of the composition of the medium.

Measurement of monosaccharides and conversion of glucose to acetate in anoxic rice field soil
Article Abstract:
It has been a traditional practice among farmers to use organic matter, such as rice straw, into the rice field soil for enhancing soil nutrient availability and productivity. Rice straws have been found to contain 50% cellulose and approximately 20 to 30% hemicellulose on a dry weight basis. This chemical content facilitates for the release of soluble carbohydrates to be ingested to become part of the dissolved organic carbon pool for soil microbes.

Glucose uptake and end product formation in an intertidal marine sediment
Article Abstract:
The seasonal monitoring of glucose metabolism which included end product formation pattern, uptake rate constants and its relationship to other parameters is discussed. Glucose and undisturbed cores were collected from an intertidal mud flat and subjected to time course analysis. The utilization of the enzymatic technique provided an accurate assessment of the distribution and importance of short chain fatty acids as end products.
