  • Patent number: 12098373
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a Bacillus subtilis efficiently-induced expression system based on an artificial series promoter, and belongs to the technical field of gene engineering. According to the present disclosure, an efficient artificial series constitutive promoter is used, and by compositely designing the promoter and elements (a repressor and a binding site thereof) relevant to an operon, the activity of the constitutive promoter is regulated and controlled by an inducer to finally construct the B. subtilis efficiently-induced expression system induced by the inducer. The result indicates that compared with a P43 strongly constitutive promoter, the activity of the artificial series promoter in the system is about 15 times higher. The activity of the promoter can be accurately controlled by adding different concentrations of inducers.

  • Patent number: 12079719
    Abstract: A deep learning model implements continuous, lifelong machine learning (LML) based on a Bayesian neural network using an inventive framework including wide, deep, and prior components that employ diverse algorithms to leverage available real-world healthcare data differently to improve prediction performance. The outputs from each component of the framework are fed into a wide and shallow neural network and the posterior structure of the final model output may be utilized as a prior structure when the deep learning model is refreshed with new data in a deep learning process. Lifelong learning is implemented by dynamically integrating present learning from the wide and deep learning components with past learning from traditional tree models in the prior component into future predictions. Thus, the present Bayesian deep neural network-based LML model increases accuracy in identifying patient profiles by continuously learning, as new data become available, without forgetting prior knowledge.

  • Patent number: 12031165
    Abstract: Disclosed is a double enzyme tandem preparation method of L-2-aminobutyric acid, and belongs to the field of bioengineering. In the disclosure, recombinant Escherichia coli expressing L-glutamate mutase and recombinant Escherichia coli expressing L-aspartate-?-decarboxylase are separately cultured to obtain L-glutamate mutase and L-aspartate-?-decarboxylase. The two enzymes are added to a reaction system at a certain mass ratio, and L-glutamate is used as a substrate to carry out an enzyme reaction to prepare the L-2-aminobutyric acid. When the dosage of the L-aspartate-?-decarboxylase is 2 mg/mL, and the reaction time is 24 h, 8.5 mmol/L L-2-aminobutyric acid is produced by conversion, with a molar conversion rate of 85.00%. Compared with a chemical production method, the method disclosed by the disclosure has a safe production process and no environmental pollution. Compared with a multi-enzyme synthesis system with threonine as a substrate, the substrate is cheaper and the process is simpler.
