Light-driven fine chemical production in yeast biohybrids

Science, Год журнала: 2018, Номер 362(6416), С. 813 - 816

Опубликована: Ноя. 15, 2018

Inorganic-biological hybrid systems have potential to be sustainable, efficient, and versatile chemical synthesis platforms by integrating the light-harvesting properties of semiconductors with synthetic biological cells. We developed a modular bioinorganic platform that consists highly efficient indium phosphide nanoparticles genetically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae, workhorse microorganism in biomanufacturing. The yeast harvests photogenerated electrons from illuminated uses them for cytosolic regeneration redox cofactors. This process enables decoupling biosynthesis cofactor regeneration, facilitating carbon- energy-efficient production metabolite shikimic acid, common precursor several drugs fine chemicals. Our work provides rational design biohybrids biomanufacturing processes higher complexity functionality.

Molecular Insights into Extracellular Polymeric Substances in Activated Sludge

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 54(13), С. 7742 - 7750

Опубликована: Июнь 1, 2020

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are known to crucially affect the properties and performance of activated sludge, but detailed influential mechanisms pertinence specific compositional, structural EPS still elusive. Such knowledge gaps have severely limited our ability in optimizing biological wastewater treatment processes, for which long-term robust efficient sludge remains one main bottlenecks. Here, we overview new on molecular structure gained over past few years discuss future challenges opportunities further advancing study engineering. The functional features several macromolecules their important roles granular analyzed detail. EPS–pollutant interactions environment-dependent regulation machinery production deciphered. Lastly, remaining identified, research needs that may lead molecular-level understanding precise engineering highlighted.

Carbon dots-fed Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 for bioelectricity enhancement

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 11(1)

Опубликована: Март 13, 2020

Abstract Bioelectricity generation, by Shewanella oneidensis ( S. ) MR-1, has become particularly alluring, thanks to its extraordinary prospects for energy production, pollution treatment, and biosynthesis. Attempts improve technological output modification of MR-1 remains complicated, expensive inefficient. Herein, we report on the augmentation with carbon dots (CDs). The CDs-fed cells show accelerated extracellular electron transfer metabolic rate, increased intracellular charge, higher adenosine triphosphate level, quicker substrate consumption more abundant secretion. Meanwhile, CDs promote cellular adhesion, electronegativity, biofilm formation. In bioelectrical systems increase maximum current value, 7.34 fold, power output, 6.46 fold. enhancement efficacy is found be strongly dependent surface charge CDs. This work demonstrates a simple, cost-effective efficient route bioelectricity generation holding promise in all relevant technologies.
