Article Abstract
The effects of light calcium carbonate (CaCO) on pullulan biosynthesis by Aureobasidium pullulans NCPS2016 were investigated. Light CaCO enhanced pullulan production by 12.4 % when added to the low concentration of fructose broth compared with KHPO. Pullulan production was further improved when increasing both the concentrations of light CaCO and fructose. Compared to KHPO, light CaCO improved the activities of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, α-phosphoglucose mutase, UDP-glucosyltransferase, and glucosyltransferase relevant to pullulan biosynthesis, and the gene transcriptional levels of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, α-phosphoglucose mutase, UDP-glucosyltransferase, and glucose kinase were enhanced. During 30-liter fermentation, 144.3 g/L of purified pullulan was produced from 200 g/L of fructose and 15 g/L of light CaCO within 168 h, with the yield and productivity of 0.72 g/g and 0.86 g/L/h respectively. This is the first report that light CaCO improves pullulan production significantly.

The increasing use of titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles (NPs) has raised concerns related to their environmental accumulation and the associated ecological risks. Understanding the key biomolecular responses of TiO₂ NP-tolerant organisms like Physarum flavicomum GD217 is essential for combating the pollution of and exposure to these NPs. In this study, we employed multi-omics approaches combined with molecular biology techniques to investigate the stress responses of GD217 to mixed-phase TiO₂ NPs (M-TiO₂ NPs).

CO-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkane is a promising and innovative technology for light olefin production; however, the interference of side reactions and sluggish reactivity of CO limit olefin yields. This paper describes an economically viable tandem catalytic system by coupling alkane dehydrogenation and the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction, employing PtSn/SiO as ethane dehydrogenation (EDH) sites and nano-CaCO as the hydrogen acceptor for sequent RWGS. This tandem catalytic system significantly surpasses commercial CrO- and Pt-based catalytic systems, and breaks the EDH thermodynamic equilibrium limitation, reaching 142% of the nominal equilibrium ethylene yield of non-oxidative EDH process with 96.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a primary environmental factor contributing to skin damage, including erythema, hyperpigmentation, and photoaging. This study evaluates the photoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects of aged extract (APEx), chosen for its richness in polyphenols, to assess its potential as a natural therapeutic agent in skin care. APEx was analyzed for its polyphenolic composition using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS).

Background: Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is an emerging non-thermal strategy for microbial control in food systems. However, few natural pigments are capable of generating both type I and type II reactive oxygen species (ROS), which limits their broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy.
Results: This study identified yam pigment (YP) as a dual-type ROS photosensitizer that can produce both singlet oxygen and free radicals under 450-nm blue light.
