A whole-genome DNA microarray was constructed to dissect expression profiles of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in response to a sudden temperature downshift from 37 to 10 degrees C. The mRNA level of each gene at each of three time points (20, 40 and 60 min after temperature downshift) was compared with that just before cold treatment. Clustering analysis of time-course data revealed nine gene clusters with different time-dependent expression patterns. Downregulation of metabolism-related genes was obviously dominant over upregulation at all time points. The distinct negative regulation of metabolism-related genes would account for a generally reduced cellular protein pool resulting from the sudden temperature downshift. In contrast, cold shock had a 'neutral and balanced' regulatory action on nonmetabolic cellular pathways, which likely brought about the remodelling of cell envelope structures and transport/binding functions. We identified a 171-bp 5'-untranslated region in the cspA transcript. The cspA gene encoded cold shock protein A (CspA), and CspA was shown to be the major cold shock protein in V. parahaemolyticus. Evident regulatory motifs were conserved within the cspA promoter regions of Escherichia coli and V. parahaemolyticus. These two bacteria likely use the same mechanism to regulate the cold-inducible expression of cspA.

Solar energy sources have garnered significant attention as a renewable energy option. Despite this, the practical power conversion efficiency (PCE) of widely used silicon-based solar cells remains low due to inefficient light utilization. In this study, carbon dots (APCDs) were prepared a hydrothermal method using ammonium polyphosphate and -phenylenediamine, then incorporated into a silicone-acrylic emulsion (CAS) to create a luminescent down-shifting (LDS) layer for solar cells.

Multimode luminescent materials exhibit tunable photon emissions under different excitation or stimuli channels, endowing them high encoding capacity and confidentiality for anti-counterfeiting and encryption. Achieving multimode luminescence into a stable single material presents a promising but remains a challenge. Here, the downshifting/upconversion emissions, color-tuning persistent luminescence (PersL), temperature-dependent multi-color emissions, and hydrochromism are integrated into Er ions doped CsNaYbCl nanocrystals (NCs) by leveraging shallow defect levels and directed energy migration.

Electronic address:

The selective hydrogenation of nitrile compounds represents a pivotal area of research within both industrial and academic catalysis. In this study, we prepared Ni-Cu bimetallic catalysts through a co-deposition-crystallization sequence, aimed at the efficient production of primary and secondary amines. The enhanced selectivity for primary amines is attributed to the downshift of the d-band center of NiCu, which weakens the adsorption of key imine intermediates.
