H16 is a facultative chemolithotroph capable of using CO as a carbon source, making it a promising organism for carbon-negative biomanufacturing of petroleum-based product alternatives. In contrast to model microbes, genetic engineering technologies are limited in , constraining its utility in basic and applied research. Here, we developed a genome engineering technology to efficiently mobilize, integrate, and express synthetic genetic elements (SGEs) in . We tested the chromosomal expression of four inducible promoters to optimize an engineered genetic landing pad for tunable gene expression. To demonstrate utility, we employed the SGE system to design, mobilize, and express eight heterologous inorganic carbon uptake pathways in . We demonstrated all inorganic carbon uptake systems' upregulated intracellular bicarbonate concentrations under heterotrophic conditions. This work establishes the utility of the SGE strategy for expedited integration and tunable expression of heterologous pathways, and enhances intracellular bicarbonate concentrations in .

The excessive utilization and emission of waste plastics have caused serious damage to the environment, and it is of great significance to explore high-value utilization methods for these waste plastics. To address this challenge, functional nano cobalt-loaded porous carbon materials (CoPC) with excellent antibiotic wastewater removal properties were prepared by one-step pyrolysis using waste PET plastics as a carbon source, a process described in this paper. Characterization revealed that the obtained CoPC-2 catalysts had a high degree of defects, a large specific surface area (343.

The influence of different calcium sources on the mineralization behavior of and their roles in microbiologically influenced corrosion inhibition (MICI) of Q235 carbon steel were investigated. Calcium lactate, calcium nitrate, and calcium L-aspartate were selected as alternative calcium sources to assess their effects on bacterial growth, carbonate deposition, and corrosion resistance. exhibited stable growth in all tested media, with the pH exceeding 8 after 14 days, promoting carbonate precipitation.

Microbial Electrochemical Technology (MET) offers a promising avenue for CO utilization by leveraging the ability of chemolithotrophic microorganisms to use inorganic carbon in biosynthetic processes. By harnessing the power of electroactive bacteria, METs can facilitate the conversion of inorganic carbon into organic compounds. Therefore, this work combines biosurfactant production at the anode and PHB production at the cathode of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), while testing the efficiency of Microbial Electrosynthesis Cells (MECs), and traditional culture in liquid media.

Thermosetting materials exhibit advantages such as dimensional stability and elasticity but lack reprocessability due to their permanently cross-linked internal structure. Introducing a reversible cross-linked network endows materials with reprocessability but often compromises resilience and mechanical properties. Hence, it is still a significant challenge to develop recyclable elastomers with high elasticity as traditional thermosetting materials and remolding ability as traditional thermoplastic materials.

Chemical admixtures are needed to enhance the reactivity of the industrial waste by-products to expand their utilization in the cement and concrete industry to create low CO sustainable binders. One such chemical admixture which is a complexing ligand (2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene) has been shown to accelerate the hydration kinetics and enhance the mechanical strength (from 2 MPa to 40 MPa) of sodium carbonate-activated blast furnace slag binder. This study aims to understand the working mechanism of 2,3-dihydroxy naphthalene as an accelerator and the formation of the micro- and nano-surface precipitates for sodium carbonate-activated slag through batch dissolution experiments.
