An Integrated Vacuum Carbonate Absorption Process (IVCAP) for post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is described. IVCAP employs potassium carbonate (PC) as a solvent, uses waste or low quality steam from the power plant CO2 stripping, and biocatalyst, carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme, promoting absorption into PC solution. A series of experiments were performed to evaluate activity CA enzyme mixed in solutions stirred tank reactor system under various temperatures, dosages, loadings,...

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure is significantly linked to lung epithelial cell senescence, and autophagy dysfunction being a key contributor the aging process. Although anti-aging properties of ellagic acid (EA) are well-documented, its specific protective effect on PM2.5-induced senescence still needs be studied in depth. To investigate impacts PM2.5 cells, 16HBE A549 cells were exposed suspension. Additionally, explore potential intervention EA, pretreated with EA before...

Beryllium and its compounds are classified as carcinogens, prolonged exposure can trigger chronic beryllium disease. The Janus kinase-signal transducer activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling is known to play a critical role in the development progression numerous diseases. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), key upstream cytokine JAK-STAT pathway, has been implicated regulating inflammatory responses epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) various However, specific involvement pathway...

ABSTRACT Beryllium (Be) is a recognised environmental toxicant associated with pulmonary fibrosis. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), critical process in cell phenotype conversion, plays key role its pathophysiology. Methyltransferase‐like 3 (METTL3), major N6‐methyladenosine methyltransferase, regulates gene expression and cellular functions. However, Be‐induced EMT remains unclear. In this study, human bronchial epithelial line (16HBE cells) were exposed to varying concentrations of...

Abstract Apple Glomerella leaf spot (GLS) is an emerging fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum fructicola and other species. These species are polyphyletic it currently unknown how these pathogens convergently evolved to infect apple. We generated chromosome‐level genome assemblies of a GLS‐adapted isolate non‐adapted in C. using long‐read sequencing. Additionally, we resequenced 17 aenigma isolates varying GLS pathogenicity short‐read Genome comparisons revealed conserved bipartite...

Abstract Background Chronic beryllium disease is characterized by granulomas and pulmonary fibrosis. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical roles in the pathogenesis development of many diseases. However, role miRNAs circRNAs fibrosis induced sulfate (BeSO4) has not been elucidated. Methods Previous demonstrated hsa-miR-663b was down-regulated 150 μmol/L BeSO4-treated 16HBE cells, while hsa_circ_ 0004214 up-regulated. Here we found...

Understanding the genetic structure and local adaptive evolutionary mechanisms of marine organisms is crucial for management biological resources. As ecologically commercially important small-sized shallow-sea fish, Collichthys lucidus plays a vital role in functioning ecosystem processes. C. has been shown to have an obvious population structure. Therefore, it ideal candidate investigating differentiation adaptation under heterogeneous environmental pressure.A total 184,708 high-quality...

Abstract Beryllium sulfate (BeSO 4 ) can result to lung injuries, such as leading lipid peroxidation and autophagy, the treatment of beryllium disease has not been well improved. Ferroptosis is a regulated cell death process driven by iron‐dependent peroxidation, while ferritinophagy mediated nuclear receptor coactivator (NCOA4), combined with ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) degradation release Fe 2+ , which intracellular iron metabolism ferroptosis. Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) effects...

Recent studies revealed a causal relationship between Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and lipid droplet biogenesis. Interestingly, it has been reported before that nanomaterials (NMs) were capable to modulate TLRs, but remains unclear if NMs could affect levels via TLR signaling pathways. In this study, we investigated the influences of airway exposure graphene oxide (GO) on TLR3 pathways in mouse livers. Intratracheal instillation GO (0.1, 1, 5 mg/kg, once day, totally days) induced inflammatory...

Fructosyltransferases have been used in the industrial production of fructooligosaccharides (FOS). However, it is still not possible to explain difference FOS based on variations observed synthesizing enzymes A. niger. In present study, a novel fructosyltransferase (FT-A) from niger TCCC41686 with high synthesis ability was characterized. The FT-A gene obtained and expressed Pichia pastoris. A homology model showed that changes residues identified outside conserved domains were found an...
