Article Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, and facultatively aerobic bacterium, designated strain GPA1, was isolated from plastic waste landfill soil in the Republic of Korea. The cells were non-motile short rods exhibiting oxidase-negative and catalase-positive activities. Growth was observed at 15-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0) and in the presence of 0-2.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Menaquinone-7 was the sole respiratory quinone, and iso-C, C 5, and iso-C 3-OH were the major cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total fatty acids). Phosphatidylethanolamine was identified as a major polar lipid. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 120 concatenated marker protein sequences revealed that strain GPA1 formed a distinct lineage within the genus . The genome of strain GPA1 was 6078 kb in size with 53.8 mol% G+C content. Strain GPA1 exhibited the highest similarity to T16R-86, with a 98.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, but their average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were 82.5 and 25.9 %, respectively. Based on its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic characteristics, strain GPA1 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GPA1 (=KACC 23415=JCM 36644).

Supersensitive visual pressure sensor based on the exciton luminescence of a perovskite material.

Mater Horiz

October 2024

Accurate, rapid, and remote detection of pressure, one of the fundamental physical parameters, is vital for scientific, industrial, and daily life purposes. However, due to the limited sensitivity of luminescent manometers, the optical pressure monitoring has been applied mainly in scientific studies. Here, we developed the first supersensitive optical pressure sensor based on the exciton-type luminescence of the Bi-doped, double perovskite material CsAgNaInCl.

Deformation and Failure Mechanisms of Element-Substituted Thermoelectric Type-I and Type-VIII Clathrates.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Hubei Key Laboratory of Theory and Application of Advanced Materials Mechanics, School of Science, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China.

Clathrates are potential "phonon-glass, electron-crystal" thermoelectric semiconductors, whose structure of polyhedron stacks is very attractive. However, their mechanical properties have not yet met the requirements of industrial applications. Here, we report the ideal strength of element-substituted type-I and type-VIII clathrates and the shear deformation mechanism by using density functional theory.

Adaptive responses of yeast strains tolerant to acidic pH, acetate, and supraoptimal temperature.

Departamento de Ingeniería Celular y Biocatálisis, Instituto de Biotecnología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Av. Universidad 2001, Col. Chamilpa, Cuernavaca, 62210, Morelos, México.

Ethanol fermentations can be prematurely halted as Saccharomyces cerevisiae faces adverse conditions, such as acidic pH, presence of acetic acid, and supraoptimal temperatures. The knowledge on yeast responses to these conditions is essential to endowing a tolerant phenotype to another strain by targeted genetic manipulation. In this study, physiological and whole-genome analyses were conducted to obtain insights on molecular responses which potentially render yeast tolerant towards thermoacidic conditions.

Indium selenide (InSe) exhibits high lattice compressibility and an extraordinary capability of tailoring the optical band gap under pressure beyond other 2D materials. Herein, by applying hydrostatic pressure via a diamond anvil cell, we revealed an anisotropic deformation dynamic and efficient manipulation of near-infrared light emission in thin-layered InSe strongly correlated to layer numbers ( = 5-30). As > 20, the InSe lattice is compressed in all directions, and the intralayer compression leads to widening of the band gap, resulting in an emission blue shift (∼120 meV at 1.
