Here, we describe a stress-tolerant, recyclable, and renewable biocatalyst platform based on T7 RNA polymerase-enabled high-density protein display on bacterial spores (TIED). TIED uses high-level T7 RNA polymerase-driven expression of recombinant proteins specifically in sporulating cells to allow spontaneous assembly of recombinant fusion proteins on the spore surface. TIED enables high loading density in the range of 10 to 10 recombinant enzymes per spore, robust catalytic activity of displayed enzymes comparable to the respective free enzymes, and enhanced kinetic stability of displayed enzymes in methanol and elevated temperatures. Furthermore, we demonstrate TIED enzymes to be not only recyclable but also fully renewable after the loss of activity through induction of germination and sporulation, enabling perpetual regeneration of these immobilized biocatalysts.

Autophagy is a eukaryote-specific cellular process that can engulf unwanted targets with double-membrane autophagosomes and subject them to the vacuole or lysosome for breaking down and recycling, playing dual roles in plant growth and environmental adaptions. However, perception of specific environmental signals for autophagy induction is largely unknown, limiting its application in agricultural usage. Identification of plant-unique DUF641 family COST1 (Constitutively Stressed 1) protein directly links drought perception and autophagy induction, shedding light on manipulating autophagy for breeding stress tolerant crops.

Rapid aerobic decomposition and a high cost/benefit ratio restrain the transformation of Chinese cabbage waste into livestock feed. Herein, anaerobically co-fermenting Chinese cabbage waste with wheat bran and rice bran at different dry matter levels (250, 300, 350 g/kg fresh weight) was employed to achieve the effective and feasible clean transformation of Chinese cabbage waste, and the related microbiological mechanisms were revealed by high-throughput sequencing technology. The bran treatments caused an increase in pH value (4.

The effects of glucose, fructose, sucrose and molasses on organic acid levels, protein degradation, nutrient preservation and bacteriome were studied during the anaerobic fermentation of Chinese cabbage waste. The results showed that fructose and molasses additions caused a significant (p < 0.05) increase in lactic acid production (82.

Allantoin, an important intermediate of ureide metabolism, has been the subject of investigation recently due to its dual function in nitrogen recycling and abiotic stress response in plants. Allantoin appears to be the dominant ureide accumulating in response to different abiotic stresses, and mutants containing elevated allantoin concentrations exhibit a stress-tolerant phenotype due to limited reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Here we describe the involvement of allantoin in stress response and attempt to explain the regulatory mechanism(s) underlying allantoin function in plants.
