Alginate immobilized microalgae (AIM) was found efficient in algal cells separation and pollutants removal, however, its processing required alginate removal. In present study, polysaccharide-degrading bacterium of Saccharophagus degradans was used to biodegrade alginate and microalgae in AIM and produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). Results showed that AIM cultivated in wastewater contained 34.0% carbohydrate and 45.7% protein. S. degradans effectively degraded and utilized polysaccharide of AIM to maintain five-day continuous growth at 7.1-8.8 log CFU/mL. Compared with glucose, S. degradans metabolism of mixed polysaccharide in AIM maintained the medium pH at 7.1-7.8. Increasing the inoculum concentration did not enhance AIM utilization by S. degradans due to the carbon catabolite repression of glucose which likely inactivated hydrolysis enzymes. PHB production in S. degradans peaked at 64.9 mg/L after 72 h cultivation but was later degraded to provide energy. Conclusively, S. degradans was effective in direct processing of AIM while showing potential in PHB production.

Background: A subset of developmental disorders (DD) is characterized by disease-specific genome-wide methylation changes. These episignatures inform on the underlying pathogenic mechanisms and can be used to assess the pathogenicity of genomic variants as well as confirm clinical diagnoses. Currently, the detection of these episignature requires the use of indirect methylation profiling methodologies.

Background: Patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer (BC) can be treated with endocrine therapy targeting ER, however, metastatic recurrence occurs in 25% of the patients who have initially been treated. Secreted proteins from tumors play important roles in cancer metastasis but previous methods for isolating secretory proteins had limitations in identifying novel targets.
Methods: We applied an in situ secretory protein labeling technique using TurboID to analyze secretome from tamoxifen-resistant (TAMR) BC.

Dysregulation of RNA processing has in recent years emerged as a significant contributor to neurodegeneration. The diverse mechanisms and molecular functions underlying RNA processing underscore the essential role of RNA regulation in maintaining neuronal health and function. RNA molecules are bound by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), and interactions between RNAs and RBPs are commonly affected in neurodegeneration.

The natural suitability of human settlements is greatly influenced by the distinct ecological environment and natural conditions of the plateau area, which are of great eco-environmental significance. 32 counties in China's Western Sichuan Plateau were chosen as the study's research subjects. The evaluation index system and weight of the natural suitability of human settlements were established, along with the obstacle degree model, using the analytical hierarchy process, the entropy method, and the integrated weight method.
