  • Publication number: 20250197872
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides an allulose epimerase expression cassette including a polynucleotide encoding allulose epimerase and a promoter which is operably linked thereto and regulates the expression of the allulose epimerase in a Corynebacterium genus strain. The promoter consists of a base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, a base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 9, a base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 10, or a base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 11. The allulose epimerase expression cassette may be hardly operated under a normal environment of culturing a recombinant Corynebacterium genus strain and does not induce growth inhibition of the recombinant Corynebacterium genus strain. The recombinant Corynebacterium genus strain transformed with the allulose epimerase expression cassette may grow and proliferate normally until a logarithmic phase and stably and highly express allulose epimerase after the logarithmic phase.

  • Publication number: 20250180803
    Abstract: A mixed-matrix composite integrated fiber-optic (FO) sensor system was developed that reliably operates as a detector for gas-phase and dissolved CO2. A mixed-matrix composite sensor coating on the FO sensor comprising plasmonic nanocrystals and zeolite embedded in a polymer matrix. The mixed-matrix composite FO sensor showed excellent reversibility/stability in a high humidity environment and sensitivity to gas-phase CO2 over a large concentration range. The sensor exhibited the ability to sense CO2 in the presence of other geologically relevant gases. A prototype FO sensor configuration which possesses a robust sensing capability for monitoring dissolved CO2 in natural water was demonstrated. Reproducibility was confirmed over many cycles, both in a laboratory setting and in the field.
