Acetoin (AC) is a volatile platform compound with various potential industrial applications. AC contains two stereoisomeric forms: (3)-AC and (3)-AC. Optically pure AC is an important potential intermediate and widely used as a precursor to synthesize novel optically active materials. In this study, chiral (3)-AC production from -2,3-butanediol (-2,3-BD) was obtained using recombinant cells co-expressing -2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (-2,3-BDH), NADH oxidase (NOX), and hemoglobin protein (VHB) from sp. T241, , and , respectively. The new biocatalyst of /pET--- was developed and the bioconversion conditions were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, 86.74 g/l of (3)-AC with the productivity of 3.61 g/l/h and the stereoisomeric purity of 97.89% was achieved from 93.73 g/l -2,3-BD using the whole-cell biocatalyst. The yield and productivity were new records for (3)-AC production. The results exhibit the industrial potential for (3)-AC production via whole-cell biocatalysis.

To reuse water and reduce water pollution, such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), PO, NTU, and NO, advanced wastewater treatment technologies (a combination of coagulation (FeCl) and adsorption (Activated Carbon (AC))) are attractive. Considering that water reclamation can help provide an irrigation system for crops and domestic purified water, removing organic matter and nutrients prior to wastewater reuse is fundamental. In order to remove contaminants like organic matter and nutrients from wastewater, advanced wastewater treatment processes are recommended.

The incorporation of β-amino acids into peptides is a promising approach to develop proteolytically stable therapeutic agents. Short α/β hybrid peptides containing tBu-βAccː HN-Lys-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P1; HN-Orn-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P2; HN-Arg-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P3; LA-Lys-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P4; LA-Orn-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P5; LA-Arg-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P6; LA-Lys-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P7; LA-Orn-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P8; and LA-Arg-tBu-βAcc-PEA, P9 were prepared. The antimicrobial efficacies of all the peptides were evaluated against ESKAPE pathogens, along with a small panel of multi-drug resistant (MDR) clinical isolates of S.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the distribution of deoxynivalenol (DON) and its derivatives in the wheat processing chain, focusing on how they change from wheat grain to finished products using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
- Results showed that processing wheat significantly reduced DON levels by 52.7%-68.2%, with biscuit making achieving the highest reduction of 70.6%.
- Additionally, the research assessed health risks associated with DON exposure in the Chinese population, finding that while there is an acceptable risk overall, infants and young children are the most exposed, suggesting a need for better management of DON levels in wheat products.

Currently, there are plenty of histochemical methods to classify pig muscle fibers, which confused the naming and classification of muscle fibers. This study aims to analyze the difference and correlation of 6 different histochemical methods and select the most suitable method for muscle fiber classification at the molecular and histomological levels by in-situ RT-PCR and enzyme histochemical methods. Muscle fiber samples, including psoas (PM), semitendinosus (SM) and trapezius muscle (TM), were collected from Large Spotted (LS), Lantang (LT) and Landrace (LR) pigs at their market-ages (LS at 150 d, LT at 210 d, and LR at 150 d).

The valorization of post-consumer mixed plastics in pyrolysis processes represents an abundant reservoir of carbon that can be effectively converted into useful chars. This process not only holds appeal in terms of improving plastic waste concerns but also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, thus aligning with the principles of a circular economy paradigm. In this study, the char produced from the pyrolysis of post-consumer mixed plastic waste has been activated with NaCO, KOH, NaOH, and KCO to improve the textural, structural, and composition characteristics, leading to improved adsorption capability.
