Article Abstract
Chemically labile ester linkages can be introduced into lignin by incorporation of monolignol conjugates, which are synthesized in planta by acyltransferases that use a coenzyme A (CoA) thioester donor and a nucleophilic monolignol alcohol acceptor. The presence of these esters facilitates processing and aids in the valorization of renewable biomass feedstocks. However, the effectiveness of this strategy is potentially limited by the low steady-state levels of aromatic acid thioester donors in plants. As part of an effort to overcome this, aromatic acid CoA ligases involved in microbial aromatic degradation were identified and screened against a broad panel of substituted cinnamic and benzoic acids involved in plant lignification. Functional fingerprinting of this ligase library identified four robust, highly active enzymes capable of facile, rapid, and high-yield synthesis of aromatic acid CoA thioesters under mild aqueous reaction conditions mimicking in planta activity.

Transition metal (TM)-doped silicon clusters represent critical model systems for understanding nanoscale hybridization and stability mechanisms. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of structural evolution, electronic properties, and thermodynamic stability in ruthenium-doped silicon clusters (RuSi̅, = 7-11) through integrated experimental and computational approaches. Anion photoelectron spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP), coupled-cluster theory [CCSD(T)], and bonding analyses (AdNDP, NICS, ACID) reveals charge-state-dependent structural transitions, with full Ru encapsulation emerging at = 10 for anions and = 11 for neutrals.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a key role in grassland carbon biogeochemistry and shows sensitivity to global climate change, particularly nitrogen (N) deposition. We investigated the soil DOM molecular composition by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and FT-ICR MS through a N addition experiment (CK, N5, N10, N20, and N40 [0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 g N m-2 year-1, respectively]) in a desert steppe of northwest China. Moderate N inputs (N5-N20) caused a dose-dependent increase in DOM content (9.

Catalytic pyrolysis, an efficient thermochemical process, offers a promising pathway to valorize thermoset photovoltaic backsheets (TPV) into high-value chemicals. This study investigates the ex situ catalytic pyrolysis of TPV using two acidic catalysts, ZSM-5 and FeNi-ZSM-5, under varied operational conditions, with a focus on product distribution and process efficiency. The catalytic intervention significantly enhanced pyrolysis performance.

Dissolved organic matter is the main precursor for the formation of halogenated disinfection by-products (X-DBPs) during the disinfection of drinking water. However, the majority of the X-DBPs identified based on the artificially prepared water using the Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter (SRNOM) will bias the assessment of X-DBP formation potential in actual natural water. Herein, the non-targeted analysis based on ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry was employed to reveal the discrepancy in the molecular composition of X-DBPs and their precursors in SRNOM solution and actual authentic samples during disinfection.

The interactions between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces yeasts through secreted metabolites play a crucial role in shaping wine aroma profiles, yet the underlying mechanisms remain inadequately understood. This study used a cell/medium separation strategy coupled with transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to elucidate the influence of S. cerevisiae metabolites on aroma biosynthesis in Torulaspora delbrueckii during wine fermentation.
