Acetylacetone is not a naturally occurring metabolite, however, it can be catabolized by Acinetobacter johnsonii as a carbon source. Inspired by the biodegradation pathway, the QIBEBT researchers established a biosynthetic pathway of acetylacetone from fermentable sugars. And the acetylacetone was successfully produced by engineered Escherichia coli by key enzyme screening and cultivation condition regulation. Acetylacetone is widely used as fuel additive and dyeing intermediate. It is also applied in the fields of metal extraction, metal plating, and resin modification. Traditionally, acetylacetone is manufactured through chemical routes using acetone ...

Researchers from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) proposed a new mechanism to improve the yield of terpene compounds synthesized by biological methods. Terpenes are widely used in medicine, food additives, cosmetics, biological control, energy industry and many other fields. Recent years, terpenes have attracted more and more attentions due to the high energy density, low freezing point, and low ...

A research team from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has recently published a short communication paper in Materials Today. Lithium metal battery (LMB) is a rechargeable battery using high specific-capacity lithium as an anode. It can potentially break the specific energy-density bottleneck of the current lithium ion battery technology due to its high energy-density pr...
