  • For more accurately describing the durations of the light and the dark phases of micro-algal cells over the whole light-dark cycle, and probing into the relationship between the liquid circulation time or velocity, the aeration rate and cell density, a series of experiments was carried out in 10 cm light-path flat plate photobioreactors. The results indicated that the liquid flow in the flat plate photobioreactor could be described by liquid dynamic equations, and a high biomass output, higher content and productivity of arachidonic acid, $70.10\;gm^{-2}d^{-1},\;9.62\%$ and 510.3 mg/L, respectively, were obtained under the optimal culture conditions.

  • This study presents a modularized process of a hybrid renewable energy system that combines photovoltaic power and wind power to supply stable power in a unit area (1 km2). The water electrolysis process and fuel cells process also contributes to the supply of the stable power. The entire system can constantly supply power of 4.39 MW/km2. Actual meteorological data is used for simulation.

  • The specificity of a Bacillus licheniformis uridine diphosphate (UDP) glycosyltransferase, YjiC, was increased towards thymidine diphosphate (TDP)-sugar by site-directed mutagenesis. The Arg-282 of YjiC was identified and investigated by substituting with Trp. Conversion rate and kinetic parameters were compared between YjiC and its variants with several acceptor substrates such as 7-hydroxyflavone (7-HF), 4',7-dihydroxyisoflavone, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone and curcumin. Molecular docking of TDP-glucose and 7-HF with YjiC model showed pi-alkyl interaction with Arg-282 and His-14, and pi-pi interaction with $His^{14}$ and thymine ring. YjiC (H14A) variant lost its glucosylation activity with TDP-glucose validating significance of His-14 in binding of TDP-sugars.
