Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 is a cyanobacterium considered as candidate photo-biological production platform - an attractive cell factory capable of using CO2 and light carbon energy source, respectively. In order to enable efficient use metabolic potential PCC6803, it importance develop tools for uncovering stoichiometric regulatory principles in the network. We report most comprehensive model available, i Syn669, which includes 882 reactions, associated with 669 genes, 790 metabolites. The...
Insects are associated with microorganisms that contribute to the digestion and processing of nutrients. The European Corn Borer (ECB) is a moth present world-wide, causing severe economical damage as pest on corn other crops. In work, we give detailed view complexity forming ECB midgut microbiota objective comparing biodiversity midgut-associated explore their potential source genes enzymes biotechnological applications.A high-throughput sequencing approach has been used identify bacterial...
The use of microorganisms as cell factories frequently requires extensive molecular manipulation. Therefore, the identification genomic neutral sites for stable integration ectopic DNA is required to ensure a successful outcome. Here we describe genome mapping and validation five in chromosome Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, foreseeing this cyanobacterium photoautotrophic chassis. To evaluate neutrality these loci, insertion/deletion mutants were produced, assess their functionality, synthetic...
To investigate the impacts of using nano-enhanced phase change materials on thermal performance a borehole heat exchanger in summer season, three-dimensional numerical model is created present work. Seven nanoparticles including Cu, CuO, Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, multi-wall carbon nanotube, and graphene are added to Paraffin. Considering highest melting rate lowest outlet temperature, selected material evaluated terms volume fraction (0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) then shape (sphere, brick, cylinder,...
One promising way to improve the efficiency of borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) in shallow geothermal applications is enhance thermal properties materials involved its construction. Early attempts, such as using metal tubes 1980s or utilization thin–foil hoses, did not succeed being adopted by market for diverse reasons (cost, corrosion, fragility, etc…). In parallel, optimization pipe size, use double-U-tubes, thermally enhanced grout, etc. were able bring measure BHE efficiency, resistance,...
In this numerical study, 4 types of hybrid nanofluid, including Ag-MgO/water, TiO2-Cu/water, Al2O3-CuO/water, and Fe3O4-multi-wall carbon nanotube/water, have been considered potential working fluid in a single U-tube borehole heat exchanger. The selected nanofluid is then analyzed by changing the volume fraction Reynolds number. Based on results, Ag-MgO/water chosen as most favorable carrier fluid, among others, considering its superior effectiveness, minor pressure drop, appropriate...

The reconstruction of genome-scale metabolic models and their applications represent a great advantage systems biology. Through use as flux simulation models, production industrially-interesting metabolites can be predicted. Due to the growing number studies driven by increasing genomic sequencing projects, it is important conceptualize steps analysis. We have focused our work in cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942, for which several analyses insights are unveiled. A comprehensive...
In this study, a laboratory-scale prototype of borehole field has been designed and built to assess various innovative grouting products in fully controlled environment. Three novel grout formulations are developed evaluated: enhanced grout, mixture microencapsulated phase change material, shape stabilized material. The objective is evaluate the enhancement their thermal properties (i.e., conductivity energy storage capacity) compared those using commercial reference grout. Besides,...
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes that promising 'low-cost' microbial cell factories due to their simple nutritional requirements and metabolic plasticity, the availability of tools for genetic manipulation. The unicellular non-nitrogen-fixing Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is best studied cyanobacterial strain its genome was first be sequenced. vast amount physiological molecular data available, together with a relatively small genome, makes suitable computational modelling used as...
