Surplus electricity may be supplied to anaerobic digesters as H gas to upgrade the CH content of biogas. Acetate accumulation has been observed following H injections, but the parameters determining the degree of acetate accumulation are not well understood. The pathways involved during H consumption and acetate kinetics were evaluated in continuous lab reactors and parallel batch C experiments. Acetate accumulation increased during initial H injections as organic loading rate increased and CO levels decreased below 7%. The share of CH in H and C mass balances increased after repeated H injections, which corresponded with the increase of Methanomicrobiales observed via qPCR. The organic loading rate, the inorganic carbon level and level of methanogen adaption hence determine acetate kinetics during biomethanation of H. The three identified parameters may form the base of a decision tool to assess acetate accumulation during H injections to an anaerobic digester.

Cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions play multiple roles in developmental, physiological, and pathological processes. ECM stiffness substantially affects cellular morphology, migration, and function. In this study, we investigated the effect of ECM comprising gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) on the activation of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells, a model mast cell line.

In clinical mastitis of dairy cows, the abnormal accumulation of apoptotic cells (ACs) and subsequent secondary necrosis and inflammation pose significant concerns, with macrophage-mediated efferocytosis, crucial for ACs clearance, remaining unexplored in this context. In nonruminants, MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase (MERTK) receptors are essential for efferocytosis and A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is thought to play a role in regulating MERTK integrity. This study aimed to delineate the in situ role of efferocytosis in clinical mastitis, with a particular focus on the interaction between MERTK and ADAM17 in bovine macrophages.

The biological production of lipids presents a sustainable method for generating fuels and chemicals. Recognized as safe and enhanced by advanced synthetic biology and metabolic engineering tools, yeasts are becoming versatile hosts for industrial applications. However, lipids accumulate predominantly as triacylglycerides in yeasts, which are suboptimal for industrial uses.

We investigated the effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on grain filling, starch accumulation, and endogenous hormones in maize (both the heat-tolerant maize variety Zhengdan 958 (ZD958) and the heat-sensitive variety Xianyu 335 (XY335)) under early post-anthesis high temperature stress by simulating high temperature stress for a period of 6 to 12 days post-anthesis in 2022 and 2023. There were three treatments: spraying water at ambient temperature as the control, spraying water at high temperature, and spraying ABA at high temperature. The results showed that early post-anthesis high temperature stress resulted in a significant reduction in grain weight and yield in maize, with XY335 showing a greater reduction than ZD958.
