The influence of the cultivation system and of the culture medium on the biotransformation of (+)-limonene by a strain of Aspergillus niger was investigated. Biooxidation products were obtained in all conditions tested. Using a laboratory bioreactor, six terpenes were identified in every medium, predominantly terpineols and carveols, whereas terpinen-4-ol and perillyl alcohol were the only terpenes found when flasks were used for culture. Perillyl alcohol and carveols predominated when the medium was tryptic soy broth (TSB), whereas the formation of terpineols was clearly favoured in malt broth (MB). Thus, there was a marked influence of the culture conditions on the results of the biotransformation. Changes in the conditions led to variations both in the type and relative amount of products obtained.

On the consequences of childbirth: obstetrics/gynaecology, comparative anatomy and racial theories in 19th century France and Brazil.

The following paper is centred on an analysis of comparative studies of the human pelvis developed over the 19th century by mostly French natural scientists, physical anthropologists, students of the human anatomy and doctors engaged in the initial stages of the emerging fields of gynaecology and obstetrics. As this paper will argue, there was considerable overlap between these specialisations, producing a fundamentally masculine, Eurocentric and racialised knowledge that had an enormous impact in establishing racially informed gynaecological and obstetric practices. This paper argues that comparative pelvic anatomy studies originated from the belief that African and Black women had specifically different pelves and genitalia and served to stratify women of different races and promoted racially oriented obstetric and gynaecological treatments.

Aerobic granules extraction inhibits overgrowth of filamentous bacteria during start-up of aerobic granular sludge.

In aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system, N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) can effectively regulate the community structure and control filamentous bulking. It would be economically feasible to make mature granules into AHLs-rich AGS extract (AE) to replace synthesized AHLs. In this study, two SBRs were run in a fully aerobic environment and a short cycle (4 h) to culture AGS: R1 with AE adding; R2 served as control.

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production using methanotrophs offers an economical solution to counter increasing environmental pollution. However, the substrate specificity of methanotrophs limits their ability to use multiple gases for chemical production. In this study, a synthetic heterotrophic and methanotrophic co-culture system was developed to co-utilize methane and propane for PHB production.
