Fate of iARGs and eARGs through advanced treatment technologies (disinfection and membrane filtration) indicates that different mitigation strategies may be required for each ARG fraction to be significantly removed. Finally, comprehensive risk assessment is needed to evaluate/compare the effect of iARGs versus eARGs in the environment.In this work, the hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16 was engineered for trehalose production from gaseous substrates. First, it could be shown that C. necator is a natural producer of trehalose when stressed with sodium chloride. Bioinformatic investigations revealed a so far unknown mode of trehalose and glycogen metabolism in this organism. Next, it was found that expression of the sugar efflux transporter A (setA) from Escherichia coli lead to a trehalose leaky phenotype of C. necator. Finally, the strain was characterized under autotrophic conditions using a H2/CO2/O2-mixture and other substrates reaching titers of up to 0.47 g L-1 and yields of around 0.1 g g-1. Taken together, this process represents a new way to produce sugars with high areal efficiency. With further metabolic engineering, an application of this technology for the renewable production of trehalose and other sugars, as well as for the synthesis of 13C-labeled sugars seems promising.Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of Gracilaria corticata (GC) macroalgae was studied over a series of nickel-iron-layered double oxides (NiFe-LDO) supported on activated bio-char catalysts at 280 °C and different solvents medium. Maximum bio-oil yield (56.2 wt%) was found with 5%Ga/NiFe-LDO/AC catalyst at 280 °C under ethanol solvent. The catalytic HTL up-gradation decreased the bio-char yield significantly. However the bio-oil quality significantly improved with using the 5%Ga/NiFe-LDO/AC catalyst. Also, improved performance with higher amount of bio-oil and lower amounts of bio-char and gas were achieved, which is due the several reactions happening during the HTL process. Catalytic HTL also revealed that introducing NiFe-LDO nanosheets into the activated char could result in NiFe-LDO/AC catalysts of higher surface area and increased active sites. Being impregnated by 5%Ga, catalysts with improved acid sites and thereby, advanced deoxygenation and aromatization activities were achieved. Hence Ga/NiFe-LDO/AC could be considered as a promising catalyst HTL bio-oil upgrading.Hyperthermophile bioelectrochemical systems are seldom investigated although their superior control of microbial consortium and thermodynamic advantages. Hyperthermophilic Thermotogales, for instance, are able to produce hydrogen and lactic acid from wastes better than mesophilic bacteria. Plumbagin nmr Here, the electrostimulation of Thermotoga neapolitana in single-chamber electrochemical bioreactors is studied. The glucose fermentation under CO2 pressure, as model metabolism, was tested at 80 °C. Results show that a dynamic polarization (±0.8 to ±1.2 V) drives glucose fermentation and biofilm stasis on electrodes. Under this condition, production of lactic acid (33 vs 12 mM) and yields of acetate and hydrogen (with lactic/acetic acid ratio of 1.18) were higher than those achieved with static polarization or open-circuit. Dynamic polarization is possibly exploitable to stimulate T. neapolitana in a hyperthermophile electrochemical system for various applications including control of power-to-gas processes or production of value-added products (hydrogen and lactic acid) from sugary wastes.Congenital heart disease, particularly cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD), may lead to a neurodevelopmental delay through central nervous system injury, more unstable central nervous system development, and increased vulnerability of the nervous system. Neurodevelopmental disease is the most serious disorder of childhood, affecting the quality of life of children and their families. Therefore, the monitoring and optimization of nerve damage treatments are important. The factors contributing to neurodevelopmental disease are primarily related to preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, genetic, and environmental causes, with intraoperative causes being the most influential. Nevertheless, few studies have examined these factors, particularly the influencing factors during early postoperative care. Children with congenital heart disease may experience brain damage during early heart intensive care due to unstable haemodynamics and total body oxygen transfer, particularly early postoperative inflammatory reactions in the brain, blood glucose levels, and other factors that potentially influence long-term neural development. This study analyses the forms of structural and functional brain damage in the early postoperative period, along with the recent evolution of research on its contributing factors.Berberine compounds (BC), consisting of berberine (BBR), oryzanol and vitamin B6, have been used to treat diabetes and hyperlipidemia in recent years, but the potential mechanisms under the effects have not been well determined. In this study, we evaluated the effect of BC in db/db mice, and found that BC treatment reversed the increased levels of fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c in db/db mice, which was superior to BBR treatment. Fecal 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that BC increased relative abundance of microbiomes Bacteroidaceae and Clostridiaceae, which may promote conversion of primary bile acid cholic acid (CA) into secondary bile acid deoxycholic acid (DCA). Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)-based metabolomics revealed that BC treatment increased fecal DCA level. Since DCA processes the potential to activate bile acid receptor-takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) and induce glucagon-like peptide (GLP) secretion, we detected TGR5 expression, and found that BC-treatment significantly increased the colonic TGR5 and serum GLP-1/-2 levels in db/db mice. Modulation of TGR5-GLP pathway may also affect metabolomic profiles of serum and liver, and BC treatment showed effects on restoring the altered carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid and nucleotide metabolism. Our study suggested that BC improved hyperglycemia, the effect might attribute to the increased microbiome mediated DCA production, which up-regulated colonic TGR5 expression and GLP secretion, and improved glucose, lipid and energy metabolism in db/db mice.
