  • Publication number: 20230168302
    Abstract: The application provides a gas density relay with online self-check function and its check method, including a gas density relay body, a first pressure sensor, a second pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a gas chamber, a pressure regulating mechanism, an online check contact signal sampling unit and an intelligent control unit. The air path of the pressure regulating mechanism is connected to the gas pressure chamber and the second pressure sensor; Pressure rise and fall can be regulated through the pressure regulating mechanism to make the gas density relay body contact action. The contact action is transmitted to the intelligent control unit through the online check contact signal sampling unit. The intelligent control unit detects the action value and/or return value of the contact signal of the gas density relay body according to the density value when the contact acts, and completes the check work without requiring maintainer to go to the site for check.

  • Publication number: 20220340944
    Abstract: An allulose 3-epimerase mutant, a genetically engineered bacterium expressing the mutant, and an immobilized allulose 3-epimerase enzyme and an immobilization method thereof are described. A high-throughput screening method is used to obtain an allulose 3-epimerase mutant efficiently expressed in a fermentation process, which can catalyze efficient conversion of fructose to D-allulose, providing an efficient production path for key enzymes required in a D-allulose production process. Additionally, the allulose 3-epimerase is bonded to an immobilizing resin to prepare an immobilized allulose 3-epimerase enzyme. The immobilized enzyme can be applied to batch or continuous reactions to catalyze efficient conversion of fructose to D-allulose.

  • Publication number: 20210254031
    Abstract: Recombinant strains are obtained for the production of allulose, allose, and allitol by regulating intracellular glucose metabolism, reducing the enzyme activity of fructose 6-phosphate kinase, and enhancing the enzyme activities of glucokinase and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, allulose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase, allulose 6-phosphate phosphatase, fructose permease and fructokinase, and optionally enhancing the enzyme activities of ribose 5-phosphate isomerase, allose 6-phosphate phosphatase, ribitol dehydrogenase, glycerol permease, glycerol dehydrogenase, and dihydroxyacetone kinase. A method for producing allulose and allose is an extracellular multienzyme cascade method. Multienzyme cascade catalysis and fermentation are coupled to improve the conversion rate of starch sugar or sucrose to the synthesized allulose.
