Can xylane powder from beechwood be dissolved in M9 media?
I'm evaluating the production of hydrogen with E. coli (it has a construction that alows this strain to depolimerize xylane into xylose monomers by an endoxylanase), but i have a limited amount of this xylane, and i read TB, AM1 & M9 mediums were used, but they don't say if they just poured the xylan powder into the media solution, i also read they autoclaved it with a soft acid solution and then neutralized it with a basic soluction, but this is an acid hydrolyzate (AH) plus enzymatic hydrolysis (EH). It ´s certain that using both would enhance available xylose concentration, but i want to evaluate EH by itself, and i still can't find if it is just added as powder to the media. Would it dissolve? do i have to add some kind of buffer to the media?.

- You have decided to design a CSTR with recycle to degrade TCE (trichloroethylene) cometabolically by aerobic phenol-utilizing bacteria. To do this, you will feed phenol (C6H5OH; as a C source) and oxygen, along with required nutrients, to the reactor in order to grow a population of bacteria that can fortuitously degrade TCE. The problem is to first determine what mass of bacteria is required in the reactor to effect the TCE destruction desired, and then to determine how much phenol and oxygen must be fed to the reactor to maintain that population. The waste characteristics are as follows: Q0 = 5 m3/d, C0 = 100 μg/L TCE (influent concentration), X0 = 0 mg/L. The Xa selected for design is 1500 mg VSSa/L, and θx is 8 d. Kinetic coefficients for TCE decomposition are as follows: qTCE = 0.015 mg TCE/mg VSSa, KTCE = 0.5 mg/L. Kinetic coefficients for phenol degraders are Y = 0.8 g VSSa/g phenol, b = 0.1/d, q = 1 g phenol/g VSSa•d, and K(phenol) = 1 mg/L. 2.1.
