  • Publication number: 20240043884
    Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant Escherichia coli for producing glutarate, a construction method and use thereof. A double-plasmid recombinant bacterium is constructed through molecular biological means for co-expressing an aldehyde synthase (AAS) gene, an amine oxidase Mao (gene) and an aldehyde dehydrogenase (Glox) gene. The constructed expression plasmids are introduced into the Escherichia coli to reconstruct to obtain recombinant cells. A recombination strain for efficiently producing glutarate is obtained through amicillin resistance and kanamycin resistance combined plate screening. Efficient production of the glutarate is achieved by optimizing concentration of a substrate, cell concentration and a transformation temperature. L-lysine with a concentration of 30 g/L may be transformed into 19.

  • Publication number: 20230265907
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an efficient vibration reduction and isolation base supported by a chained panel fluid bladder, including a chained panel, the vibration reduction fluid bladder, vertical limiting devices and a bottom plate. The chained panel is a discontinuous structure formed by connecting chained substructure panels in series by panel hinge devices. The vibration reduction fluid bladder and the vertical limiting devices are fixedly installed between the chained panel and the bottom plate. The chained panel is constructed based on the impedance mismatch principle and provided with a mechanical device. Mechanical vibration energy is dissipated twice by the chained panel and the vibration reduction fluid bladder, thereby greatly reducing influences of mechanical device operation on a hull structure.
