CuO-CeO/SiO catalysts lose activity when they are calcined at 600 °C and temperatures above. This loss of activity was related to a decrease in the amount of highly dispersed Cu species interacting with Ce (CuO-CeO interface) over the SiO support. These species are highly active in CO oxidation, so this reaction was selected to conduct this study. In order to avoid the activity loss in CuO-CeO/SiO catalysts, the effect of high Ce loads (8, 16, 24, and 36%) on the thermal stability of these catalysts was studied. The results reveal that when increasing calcination temperature from 500 to 700 °C, the catalysts with Ce load equal to or higher than 24% increase the formation of highly dispersed Cu interacting with Ce and therefore the activity (90% of CO conversion at 120 °C). In catalysts with Ce load below 24%, Cu species agglomerate and decrease the activity (less than 5% of CO conversion at 120 °C).

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a structurally complex anionic polysaccharide widely used in medical, cosmetic and food applications. Enzymatic catalysis is an important strategy for synthesizing CS with uniform chain lengths and well-defined structures. However, the industrial application of glycosyltransferases is hindered by limitations such as low expression yields, poor stability, and challenges in reuse.

The present study explores the x-box binding protein 1 (xbp1) gene in Haliotis discus hannai (Pacific abalone), focusing on its structure, expression, and functional role under heat stress. Southern blot revealed two copies of xbp1 in the intestine and mantle, one in the gill and muscle, and no detection in the digestive gland. mRNA expression levels were highest in the gill, followed by the mantle, intestine, and muscle, with the digestive gland showing the lowest expression.

The effectiveness and safety of hemodialysis can be hindered by protein accumulation, mechanical instability of membranes and bacterial infection during the dialytic therapy. Herein, we show that cellulose acetate membranes modified with the low-fouling polymers (namely polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethylene glycol), followed by the in situ reduction of different densities of silver oxide(I) nanoparticles, can effectively address these limitations. These improvements comprise the enhanced resistance to the protein fouling, improved antimicrobial capabilities against S.

α-Amylases, constituting a significant share of the enzyme market, are mainly synthesized by the genus Bacillus. Enzymes tailored for specific industrial applications are needed to meet the growing demand across a range of industries, and thus finding new amylases and optimizing the ones that already exist are extremely important. This study reports the successful expression, characterization and immobilization of P.
