Article Abstract

Carbohydrates, natural polymers of monosaccharides interconnected via glycosidic bonds, serve as versatile biomolecules with broad applications across food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and chemical industries. Traditionally, carbohydrate production has predominantly relied on extraction or chemical synthesis methods; however, with the progression of synthetic biology, microbial production of carbohydrates has emerged as a promising alternative, offering rapid and environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes. This review presents integrated methodologies for engineering carbohydrate-synthesizing microbial factories. We first elucidate the fundamental physiological and metabolic characteristics of industrial chassis organisms, followed by systematic evaluation of computational and experimental tools for predictive modeling and precise modulation of carbohydrate anabolic pathways. Building on this foundation, we critically analyze cutting-edge metabolic engineering strategies spanning pathway optimization, pathway reconstruction, and dynamic control mechanisms, thereby establishing a multidimensional theoretical framework for intelligent design of carbohydrate biosynthesis systems.

Background: Conventional automated writing evaluation systems typically provide insufficient support for students with special needs, especially in tonal language acquisition such as Chinese, primarily because of rigid feedback mechanisms and limited customisation.

Objective: This research develops context-aware Hierarchical AI Tutor for Writing Enhancement(CHATWELL), an intelligent tutoring platform that incorporates optimised large language models to deliver instantaneous, customised, and multi-dimensional writing assistance for Chinese language learners, with special consideration for those with cognitive learning barriers.

Methods: CHATWELL employs a hierarchical AI framework with a four-tier feedback mechanism designed to accommodate diverse learning needs.

Pectinases are indispensable biocatalysts for pectin degradation in food and bioprocessing industries, yet natural enzymes often lack tailored functionalities for modern applications. While a previous review discussed pectinases in terms of production and application, this review particularly discusses an integrated framework for robust pectinases. This framework combines enzyme mining, protein engineering, and AI-assisted design to systematically discover, optimize, and customize pectinases.

September 2025

Key Laboratory of Low Dimensional Quantum Structures and Quantum Control of Ministry of Education, School of Physics and Electronics, Hunan Normal University, Changsha, 410081, China.

The high sensitivity and wide linearity are crucial for flexible tactile sensors in adapting to diverse application scenarios with high accuracy and reliability. However, conventional optimization strategies of constructing microstructures suffer from the mutual restriction between the high sensitivity and wide linearity. Herein, a novel design of localized gradient conductivity (LGC) with partly covered low-conductivity (low-σ) carbon/Polydimethylsiloxane layer on high-conductivity (high-σ) silver nanowires film upon the micro-dome structure is proposed.

Hubei Key Laboratory of Intelligent Wireless Communications, Hubei Engineering Research Center of Intelligent IOT technology, College of Electronics and Information Engineering, South-Central Minzu University, Wuhan 430074, China.

A novel gourd-type photoacoustic cell (GTPAC) has been developed, featuring a highly reflective, polished gold film-coated inner wall that minimizes optical loss and maximizes light utilization efficiency. GTPAC integrates two coupled spherical chambers with a radius ratio 2:3, which is close to the golden ratio. Its unique Gaussian curvature distribution enables multi-directional, disordered light beam reflection without complex optical alignment.
