Article Abstract
Although aerobic CO dehydrogenases (CODHs) might be applicable in various fields, their practical applications have been hampered by low activity and no heterologous expression. We, for the first time, could functionally express recombinant PsCODH in E. coli and obtained a highly concentrated recombinant enzyme using an easy and convenient method. Its electron acceptor spectra, optimum conditions (pH 6.5 and 30 °C), and kinetic parameters (k of 12.97 s, K of 0.065 mM, and specific activity of 0.86 Umg) were examined. Blast furnace gas (BFG) containing 20% CO, which is a waste gas from the steel-making process, was tested as a substrate for PsCODH. Even with BFG, the recombinant PsCODH retained 88.2% and 108.4% activity compared with those of pure CO and 20% CO, respectively. The results provide not only a promising strategy to utilize CO-containing industrial waste gases as cheap, abundant, and renewable resources but also significant information for further studies about cascade reactions producing value-added chemicals via CO as an intermediate produced by a CODH-based CO-utilization system, which would ultimately expand the versatility of CODH.

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of orally administered NCIMB 41125 as a microbial supplement in steers abruptly transitioned from a receiving diet with 4% dietary starch (dry matter [DM] basis) to a growing diet with 38% dietary starch (DM basis). Steers ( = 192; initial shrunk body weight [SBW] = 309 ± 20.6 kg) were assigned to microbial supplement treatment in a randomized complete block design.

Proton-exchange membrane fuel cell technology is a key component in the future zero-carbon energy system, generating power from carbon-free fuels, such as green hydrogen. However, the high Pt loading in conventional fuel cell electrodes to maintain electrocatalytic activity and durability, especially on the cathode for oxygen reduction, is the Achilles heel for the worldwide deployment of fuel cell technologies. To minimize Pt consumption for oxygen reduction, we synthesized Pt-Co-based electrocatalysts with meticulous structuring from micrometer to the atomic scale based on reaction pathways.

Production of mono-phenols through hydrodeoxygenation is one of the most promising routes for value-added lignin valorization. However, the adsorption characteristic of key intermediates and hydrodeoxygenation mechanism of key linkages in lignin have received inadequate attentions. In this paper, experiments combined with density functional theory calculations were done to explore the adsorption and catalytic HDO mechanism of lignin dimers.

Herein, we report a methodology to access isotopically labeled esters and amides from carbonates and carbamates employing an oxygen deletion strategy. This methodology utilizes a decarboxylative carbonylation approach for isotope labeling with near stoichiometric, ex situ generated C, or C carbon monoxide. This reaction is characterized by its broad scope, functional group tolerance, and high yields, which is showcased with the synthesis of structurally complex molecules.
