Microalgae can convert CO2 and solar energy to oil, which provide a potential solution for clean-energy production and value-added utilization of CO2. For the key question of enhancing the efficiency of microalgal carbon fixation, the Single-Cell Center at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a novel microalgal feedstock development strategy towards superior carbon fixation, which significantly elevated the productivity of microalgal biomass and lipids. This new work was published on Algal Research. Microalgae can convert CO2 and solar energy to oil, which provide a potential solution for clean-energy production and value-added utilization of CO2. For the key question of enhancing the efficiency of microalgal carbon fixation, the Single-Cell ...

The research team led by Dr. ZHOU Gongke from Qingdao Engineering Research Center of Biomass Resources and Environment, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), announced that they found the key gene of the efficient starch accumulation in duckweed using transcriptome, metabolic and related enzyme activity determination method. Due to rising temperatures and rain, recent news reports multiple occurrences of duckweed outbreak. Duckweed is considered a promising source of energy because of its high starch content and rapid growth rate. Starch accumulation in duckweed invol...

A research team from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS), cooperated with Hisun Pharm which was the world's largest lovastatin/simvastatin producer, developed a single-step microbial production process for monacolin J by engineering of an industrial lovastatin-producing A. terreus strain. With the aging population, the risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) popular trend has obviously raised. CVD has seriously threated the residents' health which death rate is much higher than the other disease, such as tumor. Cholesterol-low...
