Physicochemical data of p-cresol, butyric acid, and ammonia.

ABSTRACT: There is a renewed interest in treating odorous contaminants such as butyric acid, p-cresol, and ammonia that are emitted from animal farming operations. However, developing newer treatment technologies require quantitative information regarding the properties of the target pollutants. Therefore, in this communication, baseline data related to physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of butyric acid, p-cresol, and ammonia were predicted using computational chemistry. Density functional theory was employed via B3LYP functional coupled with polarized 6-31G (d) basis set without any solvent effects using Gaussian 16W and GaussView6. The predicted baseline properties collected here are expected to be useful to scientists and engineers working in environmental mitigation technologies in developing treatment processes and make the animal agricultural industry environmental friendly and sustainable.

2-Benzene-sulfonamido-3-methyl-butyric acid.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(11)H(15)NO(4)S, two independent mol-ecules are present per asymmetric unit; they are dimerized through O-H?O hydrogen bonds between their carb-oxy groups to generate R(2) (2)(8) loops. An intra-molecular N-H?O link in one of the mol-ecules closes an S(5) ring. The dimers are linked by N-H?O and C-H?O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network. The C atoms of the isopropyl group of one of the mol-ecules are disordered over two orientations in a 3:1 ratio.

2,6-Bis(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine butyric acid monosolvate dihydrate.

Project description:In the title compound, C(19)H(13)N(5)·C(4)H(8)O(2)·2H(2)O, the mol-ecular skeleton of the 2,6-bis-(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (bbip) mol-ecule is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.023 Å). An extensive three-dimensional network of inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds consolidates the crystal packing, which also exhibits π-π inter-actions between the five- and six-membered rings from neighbouring bbip mol-ecules.

Energy-efficient recovery of fermented butyric acid using octyl acetate extraction.

Project description:BackgroundA butyric acid recovery process using octyl acetate is proposed, and the design details of the extraction and subsequent distillation processes were investigated. Ternary equilibrium data for the extractor design were derived from molecular simulations and experimental measurements.ResultsA new procedure for estimating the thermodynamic parameters was introduced to determine the effect of the parameters on extractor design by comparison with previously reported parameters. Using the proposed recovery process with the newly estimated thermodynamic model, 99.8% butyric acid was recovered from the fermentation broth at a recovery rate of 99%. The energy demand for the proposed process was found to be lower than the average demand for several reported butyric acid recovery processes.ConclusionsThe investment cost is projected to be lower than that of other butyric acid processes due to the high efficiency of extraction solvent. The recovery cost of butyric acid was comparable to its selling price.

Mouse Abdominal Fat Depots Reduced by Butyric Acid-Producing Leuconostoc mesenteroides.

Project description:The activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated rece ptor gamma (PPAR-γ) is known to induce the differentiation of adipocytes. This study aimed to investigate the probiotic effect of Leuconostoc mesenteroides (L. mesenteroides) on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced PPAR-γ activation and abdominal fat depots. Incubation of differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes with media of L. mesenteroides EH-1, a butyric acid-producing strain, significantly reduced the amounts of lipid droplets. The oral administration of L. mesenteroides EH-1 produced large amounts (>1 mM) of butyric acid in cecum and attenuated the HFD-induced upregulation of PPAR-γ and accumulation of abdominal fats in mice. The combination of 2% glucose with L. mesenteroides EH-1 increased the production of butyric acid and potentiated the probiotic activity of L. mesenteroides EH-1 against the formation of lipid droplets in 3T3-L1 adipocytes as well as abdominal fats in HFD-fed mice. The inhibition of free fatty acid receptor 2 (Ffar2) by its antagonist, GLPG-0974, markedly diminished the probiotic effects of L. mesenteroides EH-1 plus glucose on the suppression of HFD-induced PPAR-γ and abdominal fats. Besides demonstrating the probiotic value of L. mesenteroides EH-1, our results highlight the possible therapy targeting the butyric acid-activated Ffar2 pathway to reduce abdominal fats.

Metabolite stress response to butyric acid in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824

Project description:Clostridium acetobutylicum is a Gram positive, endospore forming firmicute that has been known as the model organims for ABE (acetone-butanol-ethanol) fermentation. With its ability to consume a wide variety of substrates, C. acetobutylicum carries out a biphasic ABE fermentation, which consists of the acidogenic growth phase with the formation of butyric acid and acetic acid, followed by the solventogenic stationary phase with the formation of acetone, butanol and ethanol, characterised by the reassimilation of acids. The production butanol is of renewed ineterest both as a potential biofuel and bulk chemical production. Both butanol and butyric acid posses toxic characteristic and here, we focus on understanding and modeling the stress response of C. acetobutylicum to one of the two important toxic metabolites: butyric acid.

Gallic acid nanoflower immobilized membrane with peroxidase-like activity for m-cresol detection.

Project description:We report fabrication of new generation nanoflowers (NFs) using gallic acid (GA) and copper (II) ions (Cu2+) acted as an organic and inorganic component, respectively with effective peroxidase mimic activities in solution and on filter membrane. Unlike the typical protein NFs synthesis mechanism, gallic acid NFs (GA-NFs) was formed via coordination reaction between carboxyl groups of GA and Cu2+. The different morphologies of the GA-NFs were acquired based upon whether the carboxyl groups in gallic acid are active or not. The peroxidase mimic activity of the GA-NFs relied on the Fenton reaction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was tested towards m-cresol as a function of concentration of the GA-NFs, m-cresol, H2O2 and reaction time. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidative coupling of m-cresol with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) was catalyzed by the GA-NFs dispersed in solution and adsorbed on filter paper to form an antipyrine dye and it was visually and spectrophotometrically recorded. The m-cresol with range of 0.05-0.5 mM was detected in 10 min and 15 min by using the GA-NFs in solution and on filter paper, respectively. We demonstrated that the NFs can be produced from non-protein molecules and GA-NFs can be used as a promising nanocatalyst for a variety of applications.

Model-based driving mechanism analysis for butyric acid production in Clostridium tyrobutyricum.

Project description:BackgroundButyric acid, an essential C4 platform chemical, is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries. Clostridium tyrobutyricum is the most promising microorganism for industrial bio-butyrate production. However, the metabolic driving mechanism for butyrate synthesis was still not profoundly studied.ResultsThis study reports a first-generation genome-scale model (GEM) for C. tyrobutyricum, which provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis for the butyrate synthesis driving mechanisms. Based on the analysis in silico, an energy conversion system, which couples the proton efflux with butyryl-CoA transformation by two redox loops of ferredoxin, could be the main driving force for butyrate synthesis. For verifying the driving mechanism, a hydrogenase (HydA) expression was perturbed by inducible regulation and knockout. The results showed that HydA deficiency significantly improved the intracellular NADH/NAD+ rate, decreased acetate accumulation (63.6% in serum bottle and 58.1% in bioreactor), and improved the yield of butyrate (26.3% in serum bottle and 34.5% in bioreactor). It was in line with the expectation based on the energy conversion coupling driving mechanism.ConclusionsThis work show that the first-generation GEM and coupling metabolic analysis effectively promoted in-depth understanding of the metabolic driving mechanism in C. tyrobutyricum and provided a new insight for tuning metabolic flux direction in Clostridium chassis cells.
