A whole-cell biocatalytic process for uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) production from orotic acid by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was developed. To rationally redistribute the metabolic flux between glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway, statistical methods were employed first to find out the critical factors in the process. NaH(2)PO(4), MgCl(2) and pH were found to be the important factors affecting UMP production significantly. The levels of these three factors required for the maximum production of UMP were determined: NaH(2)PO(4) 22.1 g/L; MgCl(2) 2.55 g/L; pH 8.15. An enhancement of UMP production from 6.12 to 8.13 g/L was achieved. A significant redistribution of metabolic fluxes was observed and the underlying mechanism was discussed.

Background: Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death globally for people aged 5-29 years, with 90% of mortality occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The STABLE (Slashing Two-wheeled Accidents by Leveraging Eyecare) trial was designed to determine whether providing spectacles could reduce risk among young myopic motorcycle users in Vietnam.
Methods: This investigator-masked, stepped-wedge, cluster randomised naturalistic driving trial will recruit 625 students aged 18-23 years, driving ≥ 50 km/week, with ≥ 1-year driving experience and using motorcycles as their primary means of transport, in 25 clusters of 25 students in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Wastewater treatment based on microalgae and bacteria symbiosis is an environmentally friendly, sustainable technology that has attracted attention recently because of its high efficiency in treating pollutants, saving energy, and short-term biomass recovery. Among them, the granular microalgae and bacteria combination emerges with the advantages of rapid gravity settling, good resistance to adverse environmental conditions, outstanding wastewater treatment performance, and easy biomass recovery. This review aims to clarify the microalgal-bacterial granule (MBG) - based process for wastewater treatment.
