Abstract: The role of on the central carbon metabolism was investigated through analyzing the deficiency of this regulon gene under aerobic and glucose-enriched culture conditions. The experimental results showed that while the wild type cells exhibited an overflow metabolism effect, the -deleting mutation alleviated this effect with the significant suppression of acetate accumulation under a high glucose condition. This gene deletion also induced the twofold upregulation of and one-tenth downregulation of , respectively. The overflow metabolism effect was confirmed to be recovered by re-introducing gene into the mutant. These results demonstrated changed the central carbon metabolism toward acetate overflow through dehydrogenation of pyruvate and reduction of TCA cycle activity.

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2011, Volume 5, Issue 4, Pages 409-415 doi: 10.1007/s11705-011-1141-9

Abstract: By using the corresponding -amino acid sodium as initiator, -caprolactone-depsipeptides CL-Ala and CL-Leu were prepared by the reactions of -caprolactone (CL) with -alanine and -leucine, respectively, and -dioxanone-depsipeptide (PDO-Leu) was prepared by the reaction of -dioxanone (PDO) with -leucine. Two poly( -caprolactone) oligomers (PCL-Ala and PCL-Leu) of different molecular weights with depsipeptide unit were synthesized by controlling the feed ratio of -amino acid sodium and CL. The presence of the depsipeptide structure in these obtained products was confirmed by H NMR spectra and the molecular weight of the poly( -caprolactone) oligomers was measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). These products contain a hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group in one molecule, which means they could act as bifunctional monomers for further polymerization to prepare high molecular weight polymers. By this way, the depsipeptide unit could be introduced into the polymers and the biodegradation rates of the novel polymers could be well controlled in vivo by the tailored molecular structures.

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2012, Volume 6, Issue 4, Pages 518-523 doi: 10.1007/s11783-012-0427-6

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the toxicological response of -nitrotoluene and -nitroaniline to the key fish species, . A freshwater fish bioassay based on the 96 h was used to estimate the single and joint toxicity of the two chemicals. The toxicity of -nitrotoluene was greater than that of -nitroaniline based on 96 h values of 40.74 mg·L and 48.99 mg·L , respectively. Both compounds had moderate toxicity toward , and this toxicity increased with the exposure duration and concentration. Binary mixtures of the compounds were more toxic than the individual compounds at 96 h, and they acted upon partial addition. When the exposure time was longer, the toxicity increased for mixtures of compounds with the same concentration or toxicity. The results of this study suggest that exposure to a combination of these chemicals would result in a higher environmental risk in aquatic systems than exposure to either compound alone. Further research is needed to investigate the combined effects and sublethal toxicity of -nitrotoluene and -nitroaniline, since they are both still used in China.

Investigations on color variations of <italic>Morpho rhetenoritalic> butterfly wing scales

Guanglan LIAO, Haibo ZUO, Xuan JIANG, Xuefeng YANG, Tielin SHI

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2012, Volume 7, Issue 4, Pages 394-400 doi: 10.1007/s11465-012-0347-y

Abstract:

Experiments and simulations are carried out to investigate the optical properties of butterfly wing scales. The upper surface of a male butterfly wing presents a single-layer of scales, the microstructures of which are responsible for the brilliant blue color. The color varies from cyan blue to yellow green and soon afterwards returns back to cyan blue when some ethanol is dropped on the upper surface. At the start of the ethanol volatilization process, the reflection spectrum remains stable. As the ethanol further volatilizes, the peak reflectance decreases slightly, then increases dramatically. Meanwhile, the peak wavelength keeps approximately constant, then decreases, and keeps almost stable at the end of the process. Therefore, the optical properties depend strongly on the varying ambient conditions, including the refractive index and the thickness of the packing medium. Moreover, the possible causes for the scales in dark green region after several dropping ethanol experiments are clarified. This research benefits our understanding of the color variation mechanisms of the wing scales, and provides inspiration for further studies and applications.

Abstract: During normal metabolism, oxidative byproducts will inevitably generate and damage molecules thereby impairing their biological functions, including the aging process. (补肾抗衰方, ) is a traditional Chinese medicine widely used for clinically treating premature ovarian failure. In the present study, administration at high concentrations significantly increased lifespan, slowed aging-related decline, and delayed accumulation of aging-related cellular damage in wild-type . administration could further largely alleviate the aging defects induced by UV and oxidative stresses, and administration at different concentrations could largely rescue the aging defects in mutant animals. The protective effects of administration on aging process were at least partially dependent on the Ins/IGF-like signaling pathway. Moreover, administration at different concentrations obviously altered the expression patterns of antioxidant genes and suppressed the severe stress responses induced by UV and oxidative stresses, suggesting that -induced tolerance to UV or oxidative stress might result from reactive oxygen species scavenging. administration during development was not necessarily a requirement for UV and oxidative stress resistance, and the concentrations of administrated examined were not toxic for nematodes. Therefore, administration could effectively retrieve the aging defects induced by UV irradiation and oxidative stress in .

Mutagenesis and selective breeding of a high producing

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2012, Volume 6, Issue 2, Pages 179-183 doi: 10.1007/s11705-012-1273-6

Abstract: -Poly- -lysine ( -PL) is an -lysine linear homopolymer, which is produced by bacteria belonging to the family and by ergot fungi. However, the production of -PL by the wild bacteria strain is very low, which limits its utilization. In most bacteria including the genus, -lysine is a precursor of -PL and is biosynthesized by the -aspartate pathway. Aspartokinase (Ask) is the first key enzyme in this pathway and is subject to complex regulation such as the feedback inhibition by the end product amino acids. In addition, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is feedback-regulated by -aspartate. To reduce these feedback inhibitions and to improve -PL productivity, resistant mutants were produced using sulfaguanidine (SG) + glycine+ -lysine+ -3-hydroxynorvaline (AHV) as selective markers. Using the interaction between -PL and the charged dye in the solid culture medium, hundreds of colonies were simultaneously screened in a quick and effective manner. Finally, one -PL-producing strain, L9, was selected. The productivity of this strain during flask fermentation was 0.77 g/L, which was 15% higher than that of the original strain. Moreover, its fermentation performance and genetic characteristics were very stable.

Abstract: The biosorption of Cd and Cu onto the immobilized ( ) was investigated in this study. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms and the effect of pH were studied. The results indicated that the biosorption of Cd and Cu on the immobilized was fast at initial stage and then became slow. The maximum biosorption of heavy metal ions on immobilized were observed at pH 4 for Cd and Cu . by the pseudo-second-order model described the sorption kinetic data well according to the high correlation coefficient ( ) obtained. The biosorption isotherm was fitted well by the Langmuir model, indicating possible mono-layer biosorption of Cd and Cu on the immobilized . Moreover, the immobilized after the sorption of Cd and Cu could be regenerated and reused.

What can be taught in architectural design? —

Xing RUAN

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2010, Volume 4, Issue 4, Pages 450-455 doi: 10.1007/s11709-010-0098-y

Abstract: This essay begins with a reflection on what has been taught in architectural design since the turn of the twentieth century. I shall trace back to the two disciplinary foundations of the French école des Beaux-Arts – and – in the education of an architect in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. I shall then attempt to superimpose and on a modern disciplinary framework, say that of mathematics, which leads to musings on a series of architectural problems that include pattern versus type, stability versus mobility, orthogonal versus oblique, confinement versus transparency, and aging versus metallic sheen. These paradoxes, I suggest, demand the education of an architect to address both the instrumental pattern of a building configuration and the ambient felt qualities of a room, rather than vision alone.

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2011, Volume 5, Issue 1, Pages 122-125 doi: 10.1007/s11705-010-0533-6

Abstract: The solid-state prefermentation by (CICC 2377) and (CICC 40536) was employed to increase the oil extraction yield from soybean. The influence of incubation time on oil yield was investigated. The maximum oil yield extracted from the substrate prefermented by for 96 h was 23%, which increased by 47.4% compared with control (15.6%). In the same fermentation conditions, the maximum oil yield extracted from substrate prefermented by was 21.6%, which increased by 38.5% compared with control (15.6%). The quality of soybean oil was not changed obviously by the pretreatment of fermentation with fungi.

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2009, Volume 3, Issue 2, Pages 194-199 doi: 10.1007/s11783-009-0018-3

Abstract: Four typical coastal sites (rocky shore, sandy shore, mud flat shore, and artificial harbor) at the Yellow Sea were chosen to investigate the spatial and seasonal variations in bacterial communities. This was accomplished by using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of PCR amplified 16S rDNA fragments. Two kinds of tetrameric restriction enzymes, I and I, were used in the experiment to depict the bacterial community diversity in different marine environments. It was found that the community compositions digested by the two enzymes separately were different. However, the results of bacterial community diversity derived from them were similar. The MDA analysis results of T-RFLP profiles coming from I and I both exhibited a significant seasonal community shift for bacteria and a relatively low spatial variation among the four locations. With I as the sample, the pair wise -tests also revealed that variations were minor between each pair of marine environments, with ranging from 0.198 to 0.349. However, the bacterial community structure in the mud flat site depicted a larger difference than each of the other three sites ( ranging from 0.282 to 0.349).
