The maximum production conditions of alpha-amylase were found at 36th hour, 35 degrees C and pH 7.0. We utilized three steps to purify the thermostable alpha-amylase and as a result, 34-fold and 18% yield were obtained. The molecular weight of purified alpha-amylase was determined as 73 kD. The K-m and V-max, rates were detected as 0.010 mM and 3.38 ,umol min(-1), respectively. This purified alpha-amylase exhibited the highest activity at pH 5.0-6.0 and 70 degrees C and showed stability over a wide variety of pH and temperature at 4.0-8.0, and 4050 degrees C, respectively. The thermostable purified alpha-amylase exhibited stability in the presence of denaturing agents and heavy metal ions. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed the raw starches of corn and wheat grains in the ratio of 36.7% and 39.2% respectively. The end-yields of soluble starch hydrolysis were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). In addition, the usage of purified a-amylase in clarification of apple juice and domestic washing detergent industries were evaluated.Öğe Anoxybacillus sp.

E13. We propose that U(VI) and Th(IV) have an effect on A. flavithermus at the cellular level and that this bacteria can be used as a bioindicator. Therefore, the effects of U(VI) and Th(IV) resistance, removal, and bioaccumulation on the antioxidant enzyme systems of thermophilic A. flavithermus have been thoroughly investigated. SOD and CAT activities were observed to be increased by different concentrations of U(VI) and Th(IV). A scanning electron microscope and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to analyze changes in the surface macrostructure and functionality of A. flavithermus following interaction with U(VI) and Th(IV). The highest bioaccumulation efficiency amounts for U(VI) were 102.36 mg/g dried bacteria at 24 h at 12.5 mg/l concentration and 105.7 mg/g dried bacteria at 36 h at 12.5 mg/l concentration was detected for Th(IV). At the 24th h and 12.5 mg/l, the highest U(VI) and Th(IV) cell membrane bioaccumulation capacities of A. flavithermus were calculated as 307.08 and 289.52 mg metal/g wet membrane, respectively. This is the first research to examine U(VI) and Th(IV) resistance, removal, and bioaccumulation in thermophilic A. flavithermus.Öğe Bioaccumulation, tolerance, and removal of U(VI) and Th(IV) by a novel thermophilic Bacillus cereus ST14 isolated from hot spring mud samples in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey(Springer Heidelberg, 2024) Ozdemir, Sadin; Acer, Omer; Kilinc, ErsinIn this study, a novel thermophilic Bacillus cereus ST14 with heavy metal tolerance was isolated from a hot spring mud sample in Afyonkarahisar (Omer). 16S rRNA analysis revealed that strain ST14 was mostly related to Bacillus cereus strain 151,007-R3_K09_40_27F (98.18%) and Bacillus cereus strain 2 k (98.10%). We hypothesized that U(VI) and Th(IV) affected B. cereus at the cell level and that this bacterium can be used as a bioindicator. Therefore, U(VI) and Th(IV) tolerance, removal, bioaccumulation, and impacts on antioxidant enzymes of thermophilic B. cereus have been examined in detail. Changes in the surface macrostructure and functionality of B. cereus following interaction with U(VI) and Th(IV) were studied using a scanning electron microscope and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. B. cereus was found to be highly resistant to 10 and 12.5 mg/L of U(VI) and Th(IV) after 24-h incubation. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were observed to be increased by different U(VI) and Th(IV) concentrations. The highest bioaccumulation capacity quantities were detected as 100.79 and 87.96 mg metal/g dried bacteria at 24th h at 12.5 mg/L concentration for U(VI) and Th(IV), respectively. The highest U(VI) and Th(IV) cell membrane bioaccumulation capabilities of B. cereus have been measured as 318.94 and 263.89 mg metal/g wet membrane, respectively, at 24 h and 12.5 mg/L. This study's findings suggested that B. cereus could be employed as a bioindicator organism for detecting metal contamination in natural or industrial water samples. However, further research should focus on other thermophilic microorganisms.Öğe Biosorption of 2,4-d, 2,4-DP, and 2,4-DB from aqueous solution by using thermophilic anoxybacillus flavithermus and analysis by high-performance thin layer chromatography: Equilibrium and kinetic studies(Wiley, 2012) Ozdemir, Sadin; Bekler, Fatma Matpan; Okumus, Veysi; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Kilinc, ErsinIn this study, the potential biosorption characteristics of the thermophilic Anoxybacillus flavithermus (A. flavithermus) was investigated for the removal of the chlorophenoxy acid derivates, namely, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy propanoic acid (2,4-DP or dichlorprop), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy butyric acid (2,4-DB). The experiments were performed for the simultaneous biosorption of the studied pesticides. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as a function of contact time, pH of the solution, amount of biomass, and initial pesticides concentrations. The concentrations of the pesticides in the remaining solutions were simultaneously analyzed by high performance thin layer chromatography. The optimum parameters were found as pH: 4.0 for biosorption medium, 60 min of contact time, 50 mg of bacteria, and 50 mg L-1 of initial pesticides concentrations. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of the pesticides by A. flavithermus as biomass. Biosorption of pesticides on to A. flavithermus showed pseudo first-order rate kinetics at different initial concentration of pesticides and different temperatures. The experimental adsorption data were fitted both the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models. Fourier-transform Infrared spectroscopy was used to understand the bonding mechanism of pesticides to biosorbent and surface functionality of the biosorbent The highest pesticide uptake was calculated from Langmuir isotherm and found to be 24.15 mg g-1 for 2,4-D. Among the studied pesticides, 2,4-DP showed difference adsorption behavior. According to in your comments the reason of this that 2,4-DP contain an asymmetric carbon atom, which provide a molecular chirality.

Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as a function of contact time, pH of the solution, amount of biomass, and initial pesticide concentrations. The concentrations of the pesticides in the remaining solutions were simultaneously determined by high performance thin layer chromatography. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of the pesticides by agricultural wastes. The experimental adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir adsorption models (r(2)>0.99). It was found that adsorption of 2,4-DP was higher for all biosorbent. The highest maximum adsorption capacities of 2,4-DP were found as 40.08, 22.71, 33.26, and 45.45mg/g, respectively, for AS, OP, BP, and MW. Maximum adsorption capacity was obtained for 2,4-D as OP>MW>BP>AS, 2,4-DP as MW>AS>BP>OP, and 2,4-DB as OP>AS>BP>MW. From the results, it can be said that MW was an effective biosorbent for removal of 2,4-DP and OP was an effective biosorbent for removal of 2,4-D and 2,4-DB through the studied pesticides. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as 60min of contact time, 100mg of biomass, AS at pH 6.0, OP at pH 6.0, MW at pH 7.0, and BP at pH 7.0. FT-IR was employed to understand the surface properties of biosorbents. According to the results, agricultural wastes have high adsorption capacity.Öğe Biosorption of Heavy Metals (Cd2+, Cu2+, Co2+, and Mn2+) by Thermophilic Bacteria, Geobacillus thermantarcticus and Anoxybacillus amylolyticus: Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2013) Ozdemir, Sadin; Kilinc, Ersin; Poli, Annarita; Nicolaus, BarbaraTwo strains of thermophilic bacteria, Geobacillus thermantarcticus and Anoxybacillus amylolyticus, were employed to investigate the biosorption of heavy metals including Cd2+, Cu2+, Co2+, and Mn2+ ions.

Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the discharge of these microplastics to the ecological system. The objective of this study was to investigate the biodegradation ability of two different size of PE (50 and 150 mu m) by using two Gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped, and motile thermophilic bacteria, called strain Gecek4 and strain ST5, which can hydrolyse starch, were isolated from the soil's samples of Gecek and omer hot-springs in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey, respectively. Phenotypic features and 16S rRNA analyzing of strains also studied. According to these results, Gecek4s and ST5 were identified as Anoxybacillus flavithermus Gecek4s and Bacillus firmus ST5, respectively. Results showed that A. flavithermus Gecek4s could colonise the polymer surface and cause surface damage whereas B. firmus ST5 could not degrade bigger-sized particles efficiently. In addition, morphological changes on microplastic surface were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) where dimensional changes, irregularities, crack, and/or holes were detected. This finding suggests that there is a high potential to develop an effective integrated method for plastic bags degradation by extracellular enzymes from bacteria.Öğe Investigations of Hg(II) and Pb(II) tolerance, removal and bioaccumulation and their effects on antioxidant enzymes on thermophilic Exiguobacterium profundum(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2020) Akkoyun, Mahire Bayramoglu; Ozdemir, Sadin; Kilinc, Ersin; Birhanli, EmreHg(II) and Pb(II) tolerance, removal, bioaccumulation and effects on antioxidant enzymes of thermophilic Exiguobacterium profundum were investigated. The results indicated that Hg(II) was more toxic than Pb(II) to E. profundum. E. profundum was also more tolerant in solid medium than in liquid medium for Pb(II) and Hg(II). The bacterial growth was not significantly influenced at 1.0 and 2.5 mg/L Pb(II) and Hg(II) for 24 h. The highest Hg(II) and Pb(II) bioaccumulation amounts were determined as 37.56 and 54.35 mg metal/dried bacteria, respectively. Bioaccumulation capacities of the cell membrane of E. profundum for Hg(II) and Pb(II) were determined. The different concentrations of Pb(II) and Hg(II) enhanced the SOD and CAT enzymes. In addition, variations of the surface macrostructure and the functionality of E. profundum after the interaction with Hg(II) and Pb(II) were investigated by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), respectively. This investigation obviously showed that thermophilic E. profundum can also be applied for removal and recovery of toxic metals from industrial wastewater. Clearly, a further investigation should be utilized by thermophilic microorganisms. According to antioxidant enyzme activities, E. profundum can be also used as a bioindicator for the detection of toxic metal pollution in natural water samples.Öğe Isolation of a thermophilic Anoxybacillus flavithermus sp nov and production of thermostable ?-amylase under solid-state fermentation (SSF)(Bmc, 2012) Ozdemir, Sadin; Matpan, Fatma; Okumus, Veysi; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Ulutas, Mehmet Sefa; Kumru, MertA new bacteria was isolated from hot-spring water of Gazligol, Afyonkarahisar in Turkey. Based on morphological and biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolate belonged to the Anoxybacillus flavithermus species which has 99% similarity with the bacterium DNA. The production of alpha-amylase by thermophilic Anoxybacillus flavithermus was investigated under solid-state fermentation by using some agricultural waste as substrates. Solid substrates such as rice husk, banana husk, millet, water melon husk, lentil bran, wheat bran and maize oil cake were studied for enzyme production. Of these, rice husk was proved as the best substrate for alpha-amylase production (1,271 U/mg). The maximum alpha-amylase production was observed as 1,803 U/mg at 72 h, 1,000 mu m particle size, 70% initial moisture content (w/v), and 40% inoculum level (v/w). Among the various nitrogen sources tested, 1% peptone (3,170 U/mg) was found to be the best nitrogen source for alpha-amylase production. As additional carbon sources, 1% starch (2,364 U/mg) enhanced alpha-amylase production. The optimum temperature for the activity of alpha-amylase was found to be 70A degrees C. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 6.0 and stable in the pH range of 6.0-8.0.Öğe Isolation of Thermophilic Bacteria and Investigation of Their Microplastic Degradation Ability Using Polyethylene Polymers(Mdpi, 2022) Ozdemir, Sadin; Akarsu, Ceyhun; Acer, Omer; Fouillaud, Mireille; Dufosse, Laurent; Dizge, NadirMicroplastics (MPs) pose potential public health challenges because of their widespread occurrences in all environmental compartments. While most studies have focused on the occurrence fate of microplastics in wastewater treatment systems, the biodegradation of microplastics in wastewater is generally little understood. Therefore, we used two Gram-positive and thermophilic bacteria, called strain ST3 and ST6, which were identified by morphological, biochemical, physiological, and molecular analyses, to assess the growth and biodegradation potential of two different sized (50 and 150 m) polyethylene particles. The degradation was monitored based on structural and surface morphological changes. According to 16S rRNA analyses, ST3 and ST6 were identified as Anoxybacillus flavithermus ST3 and Anoxybacillus sp. ST6, respectively. The occurrence of cracks, holes, and dimensional changes was detected by scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, critical characteristic absorption band formation and modifications were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition to these, it was found that Anoxybacillus flavithermus ST3 and Anoxybacillus sp. ST6 produced high level of alpha-Amylase. These results showed that thermophilic bacteria are capable of the biodegradation of microplastics and production of alpha-Amylase.Öğe Magnetic solid phase extractions of Co(II) and Hg(II) by using magnetized C-micaceus from water and food samples(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Ozdemir, Sadin; Mohamedsaid, Siham Abdullah; Kilinc, Ersin; Soylak, MustafaA new bio-MSPE sorbent based on the use of C. micaceus and gamma-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticle was prepared for the preconcentrations of Co(II) and Hg(II). Critical parameters including pH, flow rate, quantity of C. micaceus, quantity of gamma-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticle, eluent (type, concentration and volume), sample volume, and foreign ions were examined. Surface structure and variations after interaction with Co(II) and Hg(II) of bio-MSPE sorbent were investigated by FT-IR, SEM, and EDX. The impact of bio-MSPE column reusage was also tested. The biosorption capacities were determined as 24.7 mg g(-1) and 26.2 mg g(-1), respectively for Co(II) and Hg(II). Certified reference materials were utilized to find out the accuracy of the prepared bio-MSPE method. This novel bio-MSPE method was accomplished by being applied to real food and water samples. In particular, it will be possible to make use of C. micaceus as new alternatives, in environmental biotechnology applications.
