The cell wall-associated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (cwGAPDH) activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae increases (two- to 10-fold, depending on the strain) in response to starvation and temperature upshift. Assays using transformants carrying pTDH, a yeast centromer derivative plasmid containing the Candida albicans TDH3 gene (encoding GAPDH) fused in frame with the yeast SUC2-coding region for internal invertase, showed that starvation and/or temperature upshift result in a similar increase in both cwGAPDH and cell wall-associated invertase activities. In addition, this incorporation of GAPDH protein into the cell wall in response to stress does not require (i) de novo protein synthesis, indicating that preexisting cytosolic enzyme is incorporated into the cell wall, (ii) nor the participation of the ubiquitin yeast stress response system, as no differences were observed between wild-type and polyubiquitin-depleted (Deltaubi4) strains.

Temperature is a key determinant of microbial behaviour and survival in the environment and within hosts. At intermediate temperatures, growth rate varies according to the Arrhenius law of thermodynamics, which describes the effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction. However, the mechanistic basis for this behaviour remains unclear.

Three-dimensional charge-trapping (CT) NAND flash memory has attracted extensive attention owing to its unique merits, including huge storage capacities, large memory densities, and low bit cost. The reliability property is becoming an important factor for NAND flash memory with multi-level-cell (MLC) modes like triple-level-cell (TLC) or quad-level-cell (QLC), which is seriously affected by the intervals between program (P) and erase (E) operations during P/E cycles. In this work, the impacts of the intervals between P&E cycling under different temperatures and P/E cycles were systematically characterized.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus, an important food-borne pathogens found to be associated with seafoods and marine environs. It has been a topic of debate for many decades that most pathogens are known to enter a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state under cold temperature and nutrient limited conditions. The present study examined the time required for the induction of VBNC state and the revival strategies of both the endemic O3:K6 and O1:K25 sporadic strains of V.

Environmentally benign cerium-based catalysts are promising alternatives to toxic vanadium-based catalysts for controlling NO emissions via selective catalytic reduction (SCR), but conventional cerium-based catalysts unavoidably suffer from SO poisoning in low-temperature SCR. We develop a strongly sulfur-resistant Ce/TiO catalyst by spatially confining Ce atom pairs to different anchoring sites of anatase TiO(001) surfaces. Experimental results combined with theoretical calculations demonstrate that strong electronic interactions between the paired Ce atoms upshift the lowest unoccupied states to an energy level higher than the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of SO so as to be catalytically inert in SO oxidation but slightly lower than HOMO of NH so that Ce/TiO has desired ability toward NH activation required for SCR.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is spearheading a new industrial revolution, which provides ample opportunities for the transformational development of traditional fermentation processes. During plasmid fermentation, traditional subjective process control leads to highly unstable plasmid yields. In this study, a multi-parameter correlation analysis was first performed to discover a dynamic metabolic balance among the oxygen uptake rate, temperature, and plasmid yield, whilst revealing the heating rate and timing as the most important optimization factor for balanced cell growth and plasmid production.
