Recently, Prof. FENG Yingang and his colleagues from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently revealed the structural and functional mechanism of the SigI/RsgI factors from C. thermocellum. The results have been published in Nucleic Acids Research. Transcription is the process of synthesizing messenger RNA by RNA polymerase based on the DNA sequence of a gene and is the initial step in gene expression. In bacteria, σ factor is a key component of RNA polymerase for promoter recognition and t...

Recently,the Advanced Energy Storage Materials and Technology Group from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a novel nanocomposite for the modified separator of Li-S batteries. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been regarded as a promising substitute to the current lithium-ion batteries. They have high energy density, five times higher than that of the state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries. In addition, Li-S batterie...

Researchers from Prof. CUI Guanglei Group at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a new approach with the assistance of a fluorescence dye to direct observe the distribution of active lithium species on the lithium metal. Batteries with lithium metal anodes have been viewed as one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of electrochemical energy storage devices. Researchers have made tremendous effort to fulfill a high areal capacity utilization of...

The Advanced Carbon for Renewable Energy Group led by Professor Huang Changshui from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have found that the abundant acetylenic linkers of Graphdiyne, can act as both the active site of reaction and the attachment sites for heteroatoms. They make full use of this characteristic to prepare the heteroatomic (such as iron, nitrogen, sulfur, etc.) doped graphdiyne materials. With the development of renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy, various critical problems in energy and environment will be gradually improved. However, the solar energy and wind energy also exhibit the disadvantages like instability, dis...

In a new study published on Biotechnology for Biofuels, a team of scientists led by Professor FU Chunxiang from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) completed the identification of bm5 mutant. This was the first time that the loci of maize bm5 mutant had been identified since this mutant was found in the field. Plant cell walls, being repositories of fixed carbon, are important sources of biomass. The biomass is mainly composed of three toughly cross-linked parts, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. However, the complex lignin structure and its content...
