Abstract: The present invention relates to biocatalysts catalyzing the formation of ?-olefins. In particular, the invention provides polypeptides with improved decarboxylase activity on C10-C16 free fatty acids, more particularly on C10 or C12 free fatty acids, as compared to the P450 fatty acid decarboxylase isolated from the Staphylococcus massiliensis strain S46 (Sm46). The invention further provides recombinant nucleic acids and vectors comprising the coding sequences encoding these polypeptides, genetically engineered host cells expressing said polypeptides and methods for the production of C9-C15 ?-olefins, more particularly C9 or C11 ?-olefins, using said polypeptides or said host cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the biosynthesis of ?-olefins. In particular, the invention provides methods for the production of medium-chain ?-olefins, more particularly C11 ?-olefins, using a polypeptide with decarboxylase activity on free fatty acids with 8 to 14 carbons, in particular on C8-C12 free fatty acids, more particularly on C12 free fatty acids, or a genetically engineered host cell expressing or overexpressing said polypeptide.

Abstract: A mechanism of initiating a redox reaction, such as hydrogen gas production by direct-water-splitting, is provided in which a piezoelectric material is mechanically stressed by actively applying a mechanical stress to the material. The mechanical stress applied to the piezoelectric material causes an electrical potential build up on the surface of the material due to the piezoelectric properties of the material. When the piezoelectric material stressed in this manner is placed in direct contact with the redox reaction reactant(s), the potential on the polarized surface can be used as chemical driving energy to initiate the reaction, such as to split water and generate hydrogen gas. In this manner the mechanical energy applied to the piezoelectric material, such as vibration energy from natural or man-made sources, can be converted directly into chemical energy to initiate the reaction.

Abstract: The present invention involves increasing the quantum efficiency in titania photocatalysts for photocatalytic (oxidation of acetaldehyde) and photosynthetic (photosplitting of water) reactions by integrating the titania photocatalyst with a polar mineral having surface electrical fields due to pyroelectric and piezoelectric effects, and by adjusting the nanostructure of the photocatalyst materials. The photocatalytic reactivity of titania powder is increased due to the effect of electric field present on the surface of polar mineral material on the photocatalytic effect of commercial titania with respect to photolysis of water. Additionally, the photocatalytic performance of pure phase rutile and anatase nanostructures with well defined morphologies was found to improved with respect to certain photocatalytic reactions in comparison with non-structured titania.
