The adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is increasingly prevalent, driven by the global initiative to conserve energy and reduce emissions. Nevertheless, CCUS has the potential to induce corrosion in equipment, particularly in high-pressure environments containing carbon dioxide (CO). Therefore, anti-corrosion protection is necessary for the metal utilized for CO production and storage equipment.

In subsurface methanogenic ecosystems, the ubiquity of methylated-compound-using archaea-methylotrophic methanogens-implies that methylated compounds have an important role in the ecology and carbon cycling of such habitats. However, the origin of these chemicals remains unclear as there are no known energy metabolisms that generate methylated compounds de novo as a major product. Here we identified an energy metabolism in the subsurface-derived thermophilic anaerobe Zhaonella formicivorans that catalyses the conversion of formate to methanol, thereby producing methanol without requiring methylated compounds as an input.

The mucus coating around a fish's body is essential to its survival. It contains antimicrobial properties, aids in drag reduction, and protects against physical damage. It is versatile in the aquatic environment but little is known about the role of mucus in amphibious fishes.

Systematic conservation planning (SCP) involves the cost-effective placement and application of management actions to achieve biodiversity conservation objectives. Given the political momentum for greater global nature protection, restoration, and improved management of natural resources articulated in the targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing the state-of-the-art of SCP is timely. Recent advances in SCP include faster and more exact algorithms and software, inclusion of ecosystem services and multiple facets of biodiversity (e.

Cofactor-directed co-immobilization of dual-enzyme on functionalized montmorillonite with enhanced catalytic performance.

Recently, multi-enzyme cascade catalysis has attracted increasing attention due to the advantages of integrating multiple enzymes, few side reactions and high catalytic efficiency. Herein, a novel dual-enzyme cascade system (GOx-FMt-HRP) was developed through cofactor-directed orientational co-immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto functional montmorillonite (FMt). The presented method realizes the reconstitution of cofactors and apo-enzymes (enzymes without cofactors), which enables enzymes to be immobilized in specific orientations on the support, thereby effectively reducing changes in their conformation.
