Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase (SCAD) was effectively immobilized on hybrid alginate-chitosan beads which are hardened with glutaraldehyde. Immobilization conditions and characterization of the immobilized enzyme were investigated. Orthogonal test design and intuitive analysis method were employed to evaluate the effects of immobilization parameters such as Na-alginate concentration, glutaraldehyde concentration, CaCl(2) concentration and immobilization time. Under optimized working conditions (3.0% Na-alginate, 0.5% chitosan, 2.0% CaCl(2), 0.5% glutaraldehyde and 6h), the SCAD activity was 339.25 U/mL. For the reduction of phenylglyoxylic acid, the immobilization process changed the enzyme's optimum temperature from 30 to 40 degrees C, the enzyme's optimum pH from 6.8 to 6.0, and the immobilized SCAD retained 62.76% of its original activity. The maximum reaction rate (V(max)) was 358.63 nmol min(-1) and the Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) was 37.33 mmol L(-1). Compared to the free SCAD, the immobilization of the enzyme showed higher thermal stability and operational stability.

Electrodes functionalised with weak electroactive microorganisms offer a viable alternative to conventional chemical sensors for detecting priority pollutants in bioremediation processes. Biofilm-based biosensors have been proposed for this purpose. However, biofilm formation and maturation require 24-48 h, and the microstructure and coverage of the electrode surface cannot be controlled, leading to poorly reproducible signal and sensitivity.

Metabolism is a fundamental characteristic of life. In 2010, we discovered that the metabolic enzyme CTP synthase (CTPS) can assemble a snake like structure inside cells, which we call the cytoophidium. Including CTPS, an increasing number of metabolic enzymes have been found to form cytoophidia in cells.

Terpenoids are widely distributed in nature and have various applications in healthcare products, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances. Despite the significant potential that terpenoids possess, traditional production methods, such as plant extraction and chemical synthesis, face challenges in meeting current market demand. With the advancement of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, it becomes feasible to construct efficient microbial cell factories for large-scale production of terpenoids.
