Recently, a research team, led by Prof. XIAN Mo and ZHANG Haibo from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed a new method for bacterial cellulose functionalization. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a cellulose material produced by microbial fermentation with a unique porous network structure. Due to the high crystallinity, high specific surface area, high degree of polymerization, excellent permeability, high poro...

Recently, the research team led by Prof. HUANG Qingshan from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has thoroughly investigated MFBR features and regime transitions.
The magnetized fluidized bed reactor (MFBR) is an integration of the bubbling fluidized bed reactor (BFBR) and the electromagnetic field. It is usually applied to deal with various gas-solid heterogeneous reactions.
The MFBR with the binary ad...

Carbon Based Energy Conversion Materials Research Team led by Professor JIU Tonggang from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Academician LI Yuliang, first reported that the introduction of certain amount of GD (25%) as a host material in perovskite solar cells can successfully push the device efficiency up to 21.01%, achieving multiple collaborative effects of highly crystalline qualities, large domain sizes and few grain boundaries with neligible hysteresis as well as improved device stability.
As a new member of carbon materials following the presence of fullerene, carbon nanotubes and graphene, graphdiyne (GD) is firstly invented by Chinese scientists with independent intellectual property rights.
Meanwhile, progress has been made ...

. A research team led by Prof. XU Jian from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has discovered two novel diacylglyceryl transferases (DGAT2s) that preferentially attach LA and EPA, respectively, to the glycerol backbone to form TAGs. Molecules of triacylglycerol (TAG), formed by attaching three molecules of fatty acid (FA) to a glycerol backbone, are the main constituents of vegetable oil in plants and fats in animals and humans. TAG plays an important role in cellular metabol...

Recently, microalgae biotechnology group led by Prof. LIU Tianzhong from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), studied the metabolic differences of lipid accumulation between photoautotrophically and heterotrophically cultivated T. minus cells by comparing the growth, biochemical composition and transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of the cells, and they constructed a global network model of the central carbon metabolism and lipid biosynthetic pathways of about two cultivation modes. Continuous increasing pressures of fuel production and environmental protection have led to surge in the search for alternative and renewable energy. Many species of microalgae produce amounts of lipids, especially triacylglycerides (TAGs), the be...

The Metabolomics Group from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) detected an active IS3-family transposon IS1447 in a typical thermophilic and cellulolytic microorganism, Clostridium thermocellum and analyzed its specific features and frameshifting pattern for transposition. In nature, the mobile genetic elements in genome are ubiquitous variable DNA sequence. They play important roles in genome plasticity, cell adaptability and function evolution. Bacterial insertion sequences (ISs) are widely used type of genetic el...
