The decarbonization of the chemical industry and a shift toward circular economies because of high global CO emissions make CO an attractive feedstock for manufacturing chemicals. Moreover, H is a low-cost and carbon-free reductant because technologies such as solar-driven electrolysis and supercritical water (scHO) gasification enable sustainable production of molecular hydrogen (H). We review the recent advances in engineering , the representative species of "Knallgas" bacteria, for utilizing CO and H to autotrophically produce 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO). This assessment is focused on state-of-the-art approaches for splitting H to supply energy in the form of ATP and NADH to power cellular reactions and employing the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle for CO fixation. Major challenges and opportunities for application and future perspectives are discussed in the context of developing other promising CO and H-utilizing microorganisms, exemplified by .

Precious metal catalysts are widely used for catalytic oxidation of various gaseous pollutants (CO, methane, and VOCs) due to their excellent catalytic activity. However, they are easily affected by SO and deactivated in actual industrial waste gas or motor vehicle exhaust. Therefore, this review systematically summarizes the representative studies of gaseous pollutant catalytic oxidation over precious metal catalysts with SO exposure.

Cultured meat aims to produce meat mass by culturing cells and tissues based on the muscle regeneration mechanism, and is considered an alternative to raising and slaughtering livestock. Hydrogel building blocks are commonly used as substrates for cell culture in tissue engineering and cultured meat because of their high water content, biocompatibility, and similar three-dimensional (3D) environment to the cellular niche . With the characteristics of precise manipulation of fluids, microfluidics exhibits advantages in the fabrication of building blocks with different structures and components, which have been widely applied in tissue regeneration.

Tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids (THIAs) are a prominent class of plant-derived compounds with various important pharmaceutical applications. Considerable progress has been made in the biosynthesis of THIAs in microorganisms due to the elucidation of their natural biosynthetic pathways and the discovery of key enzymes. In this review, we systematically summarize recent progress in elucidating the natural biosynthetic pathways of THIAs and their biosynthesis in industrial microorganisms.

Unregulated discharge of antibiotics in waterbodies has posed significant threat to the aquatic flora and fauna in post-pandemic times. This alarming situation has ascertained the need for suitable sensors to detect persistent antibiotic residues. In this context, functional hybrid materials centralized on reticular metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)/composites have been a research hot spot for photoelectrochemical host-guest recognition events over the past two decades.

Understanding the sources and deposition processes of cadmium (Cd) in freshwater lakes is essential for effective pollution management. This study investigated the Cd concentrations and isotopes in a sediment core from Chaohu Lake, spanning the past 200 years. The results revealed that the Cd concentrations in the sediments decreased with depth, ranging from 1.
