Nonlinear optical switching in lithiated cyclo[6]carbon: external-electric-field controlled dominance and spectral characteristics.

Precise modulation of nonlinear optical (NLO) properties in functional materials is crucial for advancing photonic and optoelectronic technologies. Herein, we theoretically designed two stable monolithiated-C configurations (Li@C complexes) with distinct Li positions on the cyclo[6]carbon ring. These configurations exhibit facile room-temperature interconversion due to low free energy barriers (2.

Third-generation D-lactic acid production using red macroalgae Gelidium amansii by co-fermentation of galactose, glucose and xylose.

Macroalgae biomass has been considered as a promising renewable feedstock for lactic acid production owing to its lignin-free, high carbohydrate content and high productivity. Herein, the D-lactic acid production from red macroalgae Gelidium amansii by Pediococcus acidilactici was investigated. The fermentable sugars in G.

Decolorization and detoxication of malachite green by engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing novel thermostable laccase from Trametes trogii.

Malachite Green (MG) is a widely used industrial dye that is hazardous to health. Herein, the decolourisation and detoxification of MG were achieved using the engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing novel thermostable laccase lcc1 from Trametes trogii. The engineered strain RCL produced a high laccase activity of 121.
