Evaluación de melaza como medio de cultivo para la producción de bacterias ácido-lácticas

Bioprocesses are those processes that involve the manipulation of living organisms or their cellular components as substrates in order to obtain a biomass or product to provide goods or services as an example, the use of bacteria acid lactic acid in biopreservacion, this was proposed as target bacteria produce acid lactic acid in an aerobic bioreactor through a conventional molasses as carbon source and check the development of the micro-organism as biomass, to accomplish this was carried out in two different twinjet with volumes of 7, 5L, 0, 5 L using the same substrate and inoculum I, evaluating chemical variables such as pH, acidity, ºbrix, reducing sugars and absorbance . The results show a correct development of the bacteria metabolism lactic acid observing one acidification of the environment demonstrating in the pH decrease and increase of titrable acidity, also seeing a decrease in sugars reducers interpreting this as the consumption of the carbon of the micro-organism and the realization of a process source fermentation and verifying the biomass growth through units of absorbance and the weight of the produced biomass, and may conclude that there was a proper acid development of bacteria lactic demonstrating that molasses is a source of carbon and a half of crop suitable for the production of this bacterium.Los bioprocesos son aquellos procesos que involucran la manipulación de organismos vivos o sus componentes celulares como sustratos, con el fin de obtener una biomasa o producto para proveer bienes o servicios, por ejemplo, el uso de bacterias ácido lácticas en biopreservación, por esto se propuso como objetivo producir bacterias ácido lácticas en un biorreactor aerobio a través de una fuente de carbono convencional como la melaza y comprobar el desarrollo del microorganismo como biomasa, para realizar esto se realizó en dos diferentes birreactores con volúmenes de 7,5L y 0,5L utilizando el mismo sustrato e inóculo, evaluando variables químicas como lo son el pH, acidez, °Brix, azúcares reductores y absorbancia. Los resultados mostraron un correcto desarrollo del metabolismo de la bacteria ácido láctica observando una acidificación del medio evidenciándose en la disminución del pH y el aumento de la acidez titulable, mostrando también una disminución en los azúcares reductores; interpretando esto, como el consumo de la fuente de carbono del microorganismo y la realización de un proceso fermentativo y verificando un crecimiento de la biomasa a través de las unidades de absorbancia y el peso de la biomasa producida, concluyendo que hubo un correcto desarrollo de la bacteria ácido láctica, demostrando que la melaza es una fuente de carbono y medio de cultivo apto para la producción de esta bacteria

Search for heavy stable charged particles in pp collisions at ?s = 7 TeV

The result of a search at the LHC for heavy stable charged particles produced in pp collisions at s?=7TeV is described. The data sample was collected with the CMS detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.1 pb?1. Momentum and ionization-energy-loss measurements in the inner tracker detector are used to identify tracks compatible with heavy slow-moving particles. Additionally, tracks passing muon identification requirements are also analyzed for the same signature. In each case, no candidate passes the selection, with an expected background of less than 0.1 events. A lower limit at the 95% confidence level on the mass of a stable gluino is set at 398GeV/c 2, using a conventional model of nuclear interactions that allows charged hadrons containing this particle to reach the muon detectors. A lower limit of 311 GeV/c 2 is also set for a stable gluino in a conservative scenario of complete charge suppression, where any hadron containing this particle becomes neutral before reaching the muon detectors.We are grateful to Anna Kulesza and Michael Krämer for providing the theoretical production cross sections and associated uncertainties at next-to-leading order for pair production of eg and ˜t1.

Search for a W'' boson decaying to a muon and a neutrino in pp collisions at vs=7 TeV

A new heavy gauge boson, , decaying to a muon and a neutrino, is searched for in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The data, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb?1. No significant excess of events above the standard model expectation is found in the transverse mass distribution of the muon?neutrino system. Masses below 1.40 TeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level for a sequential standard-model-like .

Search for resonances in the dijet mass spectrum from 7 TeV pp collisions at CMS

A search for narrow resonances with a mass of at least 1 TeV in the dijet mass spectrum is performed using pp collisions at ?s = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 fb?1, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. No resonances are observed. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level are presented on the product of the resonance cross section, branching fraction into dijets, and acceptance, separately for decays into quark?quark, quark?gluon, and gluon?gluon pairs. The data exclude new par- ticles predicted in the following models at the 95% confidence level: string resonances with mass less than 4.00 TeV, E6 diquarks with mass less than 3.52 TeV, excited quarks with mass less than 2.49 TeV, axigluons and colorons with mass less than 2.47 TeV, and W? bosons with mass less than 1.51 TeV.

Search for resonances in the dilepton mass distribution in pp collisions at √s = 7TeV

A search for narrow resonances at high mass in the dimuon and dielectron channels has been performed by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, using pp collision data recorded at √s = 7TeV. The event samples correspond to integrated luminosities of 40 pb−1 in the dimuon channel and 35 pb−1 in the dielectron channel. Heavy dilepton resonances are predicted in theoretical models with extra gauge bosons (Z′) or as Kaluza-Klein graviton excitations (GKK) in the Randall-Sundrum model. Upper limits on the inclusive cross section of Z′(GKK) ! ℓ+ℓ− relative to Z ! ℓ+ℓ− are presented. These limits exclude at 95% confidence level a Z′ with standard-model-like couplings below 1140 GeV, the superstring-inspired Z′ ψ below 887 GeV, and, for values of the coupling parameter k/MPl of 0.05 (0.1), Kaluza-Klein gravitons below 855 (1079) GeV.We wish to congratulate our colleagues in the CERN accelerator departments for the excellent performance of the LHC machine.

Search for light resonances decaying into pairs of muons as a signal of new physics

A search for groups of collimated muons is performed using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb?1 . The analysis searches for production of new low-mass states decaying into pairs of muons and is designed to achieve high sensitivity to a broad range of models predicting leptonic jet signatures. With no excess observed over the background expectation, upper limits on the production cross section times branching fraction times acceptance are set, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 pb at the 95% CL depending on event topology. In addition, the results are interpreted in several benchmark models in the context of supersymmetry with a new light dark sector exploring previously inaccessible parameter space.We wish to congratulate our colleagues in the CERN accelerator departments for the excellent performance of the LHC machine.

Search for microscopic black hole signatures at the Large Hadron Collider

A search for microscopic black hole production and decay in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV has been conducted by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb?1. Events with large total transverse energy are analyzed for the presence of multiple high-energy jets, leptons, and photons, typical of a signal expected from a microscopic black hole. Good agreement with the standard model backgrounds, dominated by QCD multijet production, is observed for various final-state multiplicities and model-independent limits on new physics in these final states are set. Using simple semi-classical approximation, limits on the minimum black hole mass are derived as well, in the range 3.5?4.5 TeV. These are the first direct limits on black hole production at a particle accelerator.We wish to congratulate our colleagues in the CERN accelerator departments for the excellent performance of the LHC machine.

Search for supersymmetry in events with a lepton, a photon, and large missing transverse energy in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV

A search is performed for an excess of events, over the standard model expectations, with a photon, a lepton, and large missing transverse energy in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV. Such events are expected in many new physics models, in particular a supersymmetric theory that is broken via a gauge-mediated mechanism, when the lightest charged and neutral gauginos are mass degenerate. The data sample used in this search corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb-1 collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. No evidence of such an excess above the standard model backgrounds, dominated by Wɣ production, is found. The results are presented as 95% confidence level upper limits on the cross section for a benchmark gauge-mediated scenario, and are then converted into exclusion limits on the squark, gluino, and wino masses.We thank David Shih and Joshua Ruderman for stimulating discussions, support, and help with the production of the SUSY Monte Carlo samples.
