High product specificity and production rate are regarded as key success parameters for large-scale applicability of a (bio)chemical reaction technology. Here, we report significant performance enhancement in acetate formation from CO2, reaching comparable productivity levels industrial fermentation processes (volumetric yield). A biocathode current density -102 ± 1 m(-2) an acetic acid 685 30 (g day(-1)) have been achieved this study. recoveries 94 2% the CO2 supplied sole carbon source 100...
The ecological conditions in urban area are greatly changed during the process of industrialization and urbanization China. pressure-state-response (PSR) framework is most popular method to evaluate quality by integrating a set remote sensing statistical indicators into one index through weighting method. However, completely remote-sensed (RSEI), normalized difference vegetation (NDVI), Wet, land surface temperature (LST), differential build-up bare soil (NDBSI) principal components analysis...
Abstract Background Decomposition of plant biomass is vital for carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. In waterlogged soils including paddy fields and natural wetlands, degradation generates the largest source global methane emission. However, intricate process by diverse soil microorganisms remains poorly characterized. Here we report a chemical metagenomic investigation into mechanism straw decomposition soil. Results The analysis 16-day microcosm incubation revealed that could be...
Abstract Electron‐transfer pathways occurring in biocathodes are still unknown. We demonstrate here that high rates of acetate production by microbial electrosynthesis mainly driven an electron flux from the electrode to carbon dioxide, via biologically induced hydrogen, with (99±1) % recovery into acetate. Nevertheless, is shown occur exclusively within biofilm. The producers, putatively Acetoanaerobium , showed remarkable ability consume a H 2 before it could escape At zero wastage gas,...
Artificial aquaporins are synthetic molecules that mimic the structure and function of natural (AQPs) in cell membranes. The development artificial would provide an alternative strategy for treatment AQP-related diseases. In this report, aquaporin has been constructed from amino-terminated tubular molecule, which operates a unimolecular mechanism. channel can work membranes with high water permeability selectivity rivaling those AQPs. Importantly, restore wound healing cells contain function-lost
Abstract Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are core biofilm components, yet how they mediate interactions within and contribute to the structuring of biofilms is largely unknown, particularly for non-culturable microbial communities that predominate in environmental habitats. To address this knowledge gap, we explored role EPS an anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) biofilm. An extracellular glycoprotein, BROSI_A1236, from anammox bacterium, formed envelopes around cells, supporting...
The occurrence of modular peptide repeats in load-bearing (structural) proteins is common nature, with distinctive sequences that often remain conserved across different phylogenetic lineages. These highly endow specific mechanical properties to the material, such as toughness or elasticity. Here, using bioinformatic tools and analysis, we have identified GX8 sequence GLYGGYGX (where X can be any residue) a wide range organisms. By simple mutation residue, demonstrate self-assembled into...
This work developed a novel Membrane Granular Sludge Reactor (MGSR) equipped with gas permeable membrane module for efficient methane delivery to cultivate nitrate/nitrite dependent anaerobic oxidation (n-DAMO) microorganisms in granular sludge. As proof of concept, the MGSR was fed synthetic wastewater containing nitrate and ammonium facilitate growth n-DAMO microorganisms. The sludge Anammox gradually achieved nitrogen removal rate 1.08 g NO3–-N L–1 d–1 0.81 NH4+-N d–1. Finally, enriched...
Nitrate/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) is critical for mitigating emission and returning reactive nitrogen to the atmosphere. The genomes of n-DAMO archaea show that they have potential couple dissimilatory nitrate reduction ammonium (DNRA). However, physiological details DNRA were not reported yet. This work demonstrated coupling DNRA, which fueled Anammox in a methane-fed membrane biofilm reactor with as only electron acceptor. Microelectrode analysis revealed...
Integrating denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO) with Anammox provides alternative solutions to simultaneously remove nitrogen and mitigate emission from wastewater treatment. However, the practical application of DAMO has been greatly limited by slow-growing microorganisms living on low-solubility gaseous methane. In this work, co-cultures were fast enriched using high concentration mixed sludges various environments, achieved removal rate 76.7 mg NH4+-N L-1 d-1 87.9 NO3--N Day...
Soils are a sink for sulfidised-silver nanoparticles (Ag2S-NPs), yet there limited ecotoxicity data their effects on microbial communities. Conventional toxicity tests typically target single test species or function, which does not reflect the broader community response. Using combination of quantitative PCR, 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and sensitivity distribution (SSD) methods, we have developed new approach to calculate silver-based NP thresholds (HCx, hazardous concentrations) that...
Nitrate/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) coupling to Anaerobic ammonium (Anammox) provides an opportunity for simultaneous nitrogen removal and emissions mitigation from wastewater. However, achieve high rate in such a process remains critical challenge practical application. This work investigated the interactions between n-DAMO Anammox membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) then developed operational strategies of MBfR landfill leachate. Initially, influent containing...
Nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) has been demonstrated to play important roles in the global and nitrogen cycle. However, despite diverse n-DAMO bacteria widely detected environments, little is known about their physiology for microbial niche differentiation. Here, we show differentiation of through long-term reactor operations combining genome-centered omics kinetic analysis. With same inoculum dominated by both species "Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera" sinica",...
