    The release of intracellular products, especially polyhydroxyalkanoates, is still a great challenge in industry. To solve this bottleneck, a novel autolysis system strictly controlled with magnesium was constructed and applied to poly(3-hydroxypropionate) production in engineered Escherichia coli. The autolysis system was constructed by inserting the 50untranslated region (50UTR) behind promoter PmgtA with lysis genes (S, R, and Rz, from E. coli) overexpressed. The autolysis system functioned well (lysis efficiency of more than 90%) in the P3HP producer with double plasmids containing lysis genes and P3HP biosynthesis genes, whereas the P3HP production was reduced due to plasmid losses. After the autolysis genes and P3HP biosynthesis genes were integrated into one plasmid, the P3HP content of 72.7% (2.4 times of the control) and the plasmid stability of 79.8 § 3.1% were achieved in strain Q2646 with promoter PmgtA-UTR. However, the strain Q2647 with promoter PmgtA could not accumulate P3HP because of rapid cell lysis. The novel autolysis system activated in Mg2C-depleted conditions proves to be feasible for polyhydroxyalkanoates production, which may have great application potential for other intracellular products

    A versatile platform to achieve mechanically robust mussel-inspired antifouling coatings via grafting-to approach

    Although significant progress has been made in mussel-inspired antifouling coatings, most of them suffer from low mechanical stability. Herein, we present a facile and efficient method to fabricate mechanically robust mussel-inspired antifouling coatings. A polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based mussel-inspired coating material, which exhibits the highest adhesion capability (always at 5B level in a tape adhesion test based on the ASTM D3359 method) and excellent anti-abrasive properties (little mass loss after 1000 abrasion cycles), is used as a universal platform for further modification to introduce antifouling properties. Intriguingly, the hydroxyl groups in this PVA-based coating material are used as the anchor for the installation of either hydrophilic or hydrophobic segments (or both) via a grafting-to approach. Single modifiers, methoxypolyethylene glycol (MPEG), sodium 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate (SHS) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctan-1-ol (PFO), and complex modifiers, MPEG/PFO, are tethered onto the coating through an effective urethane bond formation reaction to endow the surfaces with antifouling efficacy. The functionalized surfaces are shown to be effective in preventing bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption and in reducing bacterial (Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) adhesion. More importantly, such modification does not influence the strong adhesion and excellent antiabrasion properties of the coating. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of merging excellent mechanical properties and antifouling capability for mussel-inspired coatings, which might find niches in a broad range of applications in the industrial and biomedical fields

    A Rational Design of High-Performance Sandwich-Structured Quasisolid State Li-O-2 Battery with Redox Mediator

    No full text
    The increasing interest in Li-O-2 battery arises from its unparalleled theoretical energy density. Nevertheless, the poor reversibility of cathode reaction and unstable characteristic of Li anode hinder its further application. To address these issues, a high-performance sandwich-structured quasisolid polymer electrolyte (QSPE) is designed to meet the requirement of both cathode and anode. For the first time, lithiated Nafion ionomer (Li-Nafion) is introduced into Li-O-2 cell to separate "catholyte" and "anolyte." Redox mediator (RM) is introduced into gel-like catholyte, based on polymethymethacrylate, to achieve high capacity and reversibility. Polypropylene carbonate is chosen as solid-state anolyte for enhancing interface stability of lithium anode. It is demonstrated that the QSPE exhibits excellent permselectivity to block RM shuttling, as well as good ionic conductivity and high electrochemical window. A solution mechanism formation of discharge product is demonstrated in the Li-O-2 cell with QSPE and the RM works well for cycles at room temperature. This sandwich-structured design strategy will provide a new pathway to promote the properties of Li-O-2 battery

    Effect of Glycerol Pretreatment on Levoglucosan Production from Corncobs by Fast Pyrolysis

    No full text
    In this manuscript, glycerol was used in corncobs' pretreatment to promote levoglucosan production by fast pyrolysis first and then was further utilized as raw material for chemicals production by microbial fermentation. The effects of glycerol pretreatment temperatures (220-240 degrees C), time (0.5-3 h) and solid-to-liquid ratios (5-20%) were investigated. Due to the accumulation of crystalline cellulose and the removal of minerals, the levoglucosan yield was as high as 35.8% from corncobs pretreated by glycerol at 240 for 3 h with a 5% solid-to-liquid ratio, which was obviously higher than that of the control (2.2%). After glycerol pretreatment, the fermentability of the recovered glycerol remaining in the liquid stream from glycerol pretreatment was evaluated by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The results showed that the recovered glycerol had no inhibitory effect on the growth and metabolism of the microbe, which was a promising substrate for fermentation. The value-added applications of glycerol could reduce the cost of biomass pretreatment. Correspondingly, this manuscript offers a green, sustainable, efficient and economic strategy for an integrated biorefinery process
