In an attempt to optimize citric acid fermentation, a study has been conducted to determine optimum nutritional conditions for the growth of Aspergillus niger ATCC 11414. The objective of the study was to obtain information on the growth of this strain in a submerged culture for the study of citric acid production The following article summarizes the results of study on the effects of trace metals and composition of chemically defined medium on mycelial growth of A.niger ATCC 11414. Chemically defined media containing glucose as the carbon source and energy were used throughout the work. Growth experiments were carried. Out by a submerged culture process, in a 300-ml Erlenmeyer flask which contained 50ml liquid medium. The process was conducted at 30C for 4 days in an orbital shaker incubator operated at 200 rpm. The cultivation process was followed by monitoring the changes in the culture medium of the concentrations of biomass, total reducing sugars, citric acid, and pH of the medium. It was concluded that copper (II), iron (II), zinc (II), and manganese (II) ions had a remarkable effect on the growth of A. niger ATCC 11414. With 5% glucose, the study showed that 5 - 15 ppm copper, 0.5 - 25 ppm iron and 0.5 - 25 ppb manganese ions were optimal for the growth of the strain. The growth of the strain increased with the increase of Zn2+ added (0.5 - 25 ppm). The most optimal medium for the growth of A.niger ATCC 11414 was found to be able to produce more than 16 g of dry weight of biomass for 50 g glucose
RADIONUCLIDIC IMPURITIES IN PERTECHNETATE SOLUTION ELUTED FROM 99mTc-CHROMATOGRAPHIC GENERATOR LOADED WITH 99Mo-FISSION PRODUCT
Medical radioisotope of 99mTc was firstly produced in Indonesia through the nuclear reaction of 98Mo (n;y) 99Mo -> 99mTc. The separation of the resulting 99mTc from the postirradiated natural MoO3 was carried out by solvent extraction using methyl ethyl ketone. Instead of this method, Radioisotope Production Center (RPC) BATAN has routinely produced 99mTc-chromatographic generator loaded with 235U-flSsion-produced 99Mo to provide 99mTc. By such generator, 99mTc can be easily and repeatedly liberated in the form of pertechnetate by vacuum elution using saline solution. Some fission- produced radionuclides, however, potentially contaminate the pertechnetate fraction. Gamma spectrometric determination was carried out to evaluate the level of radionuclidic impurities contaminating 99mTc-pertechnetate solution eluted from 99mTc- chromatographic generator produced over a 10-month period in 1993 - 1994. Radioactivity yield of the resulting 99mTc was independent to the origin of the loaded 99Mo. The 99mTc-pertechnetatate fractions were frequently contaminated with 99Mo, 131I and 103Ru, but the contamination did not exceed maximum permissible level. The fluctuation of contamination level may be influenced by irradiation parameters and separation techniques applied to the production of the loaded 99Mo
POKOK-POKOK DALAM ANALISA MIKROBIOLOGI PANGAN*) Sebuah Tinjauan
Microorganisms in foods not only can deteriorate the quality and shelf life of foods, but also capable of producing food poisoning. Therefore, microbiological analysis of foods is essentia, particularly to establish safety, to secure adequate microbiological quality and for standardization of food products.The existence of microbial pollution in foods needs standard microbiological analysis of foods to obtain accurate results of analysis. This is due to the fact that beside the complex nature of foods, the number of factors affecting the results of analysis are innumerable such as food age, sampling methods and treatment of the samples, and the methods of analysis used. In framing me/hods for the microbiological analysis of foods consideration must be given not only to the phycical and chemical properties of the food, but also to the form of processing they have recieved, the types of pathogens or spoilage organisms likely to be of most importance and the number likely to be present. This paper presents a review on the fundamentals of microbiological analysis of foods to clarify the various microbiological aspects, background and the principles outlay the works of microbiological analysis offoods and their problems.This paper presents a review on the fundamentals of microbiological analysis of foods to clarify the various microbiological aspects, background and the principles outlay the works of microbiological analysis of foods and their problems

BIOFLOKULASI MIKROORGANISME DAN PERANANNYA DALAM PENGOLAHAN AIR LIMBAH SECARA BIOLOGI
Bioflocculation is a direct result of the ability of the microorganims to agglomerate into large flocs with a high settling velocity, and is an important phenomenon often encountered in the biological treatment of wastewater. Bioflocculation is also very important in determining the dewatering characteristics of a sludge.The key 10 the successful operation of biological-oxidation units is the maintenance of adequate nutrients, microorganisms, and a favourable environment for the organisms to grow and utilize the organic matter. Although algae, bacteria, fungi and protozoa are introduced into the activated sludge, bacteria usually dominant as the primary feeders on the organic waste. The dominant bacteria of the sludge must satisfy two conditions: they must be able to utilize the organic waste and also be capable of readily forming flocs to facilitate separation from eflluent and thereby ensure their retention in the system. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the proper environment is produced and effectively controlled to pave the dominant growth of flocforming bacteria in the system so that the settling characteristics of the sludge obtained are good.Flocculation of discrete microbial cells can either be biologically (bioflocoulation) or chemically induced (chemical flocculation). There seems to be general agreement that bioflocculation of microorganisms was observed to follow mechanism similar to those observed in the chemical flocculation of microorganisms. A review on the bioflocculation of microorganisms in relationship to aerobic wastewater treatment proces and to cultural and microbial growth conditions is presented. The bioflocculation mechanism is also discussed and summarized
