Article Synopsis
  • This study addresses the lack of mature methods for calculating carbon emissions in buildings, focusing on the relationship between building materials and durability throughout the life cycle of structures.
  • It divides the building life cycle into three key stages: manufacturing, use, and demolition, and proposes a "partition, resistance, and repair" scheme to enhance durability and reduce carbon emissions.
  • The findings show that carbon emissions from residential buildings are heavily dependent on the use stage, especially with centralized heating systems, and emphasize the importance of considering durability, carbon reduction, and economic factors in future research for green building practices.

Rapamycin is a 31-member ring macrolide produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus and has many applications in clinical medicine. In the present work, several protoplasts-related techniques including protoplasts mutation, intraspecies and interspecies protoplasts fusion were tried to improve the rapamycin productivity in S. hygroscopicus.

The production of recombinant glycoproteins in Dictyostelium discoideum by conventional cell culture methods was limited by low cell density as well as low growth rate. In this work, cotton towel with a good adsorption capability for D. discoideum cells was used as the immobilization matrix in an external fibrous bed bioreactor (FBB) system.
