  • Publication number: 20250043273
    Abstract: A DNA library sequence for increasing the number of chip probes and an application thereof. The DNA library sequence comprises two or more position information labeling sequences and three or more fixed sequences, wherein the position information labeling sequences and the fixed sequences are arranged at intervals. The DNA library sequence increases the number of probes of a chip used for spatiotemporal omics, and then a capture number of transcript genes is increased. The present invention has a very high application prospect.

  • Publication number: 20240301461
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses recombinant Escherichia coli for expressing a synthesis pathway of asiaticoside and application thereof, and belongs to the field of bioengineering. Rhamnosyltransferase with an amino acid sequence shown in any one of SEQ ID NO: 25 to SEQ ID NO: 29, glucosyltransferase with an amino acid sequence shown in any one of SEQ ID NO: 10 to SEQ ID NO: 17 and UGT73AH1 reported in a document are transferred into E. coli BL21 (DE3)?pgi to realize co-expression. Fermentation results show that all 5 rhamnosyltransferases screened in the present disclosure can achieve effects, and a unique new peak appears at 0.596 min, which is consistent with a characteristic ion flow of an asiaticoside standard product. According to the present disclosure, barriers of the prior art are broken through, a new biosynthesis method for asiaticoside is provided, and industrialization of biosynthesis of asiaticoside becomes possible.

  • Publication number: 20240301454
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing phycocyanobilin by use of a recombinant Escherichia coli that express heterologous heme oxygenase ho1 and ferredoxin oxidoreductase pcyA derived from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. According to the present disclosure, heterologous expression of ho1 and pcyA genes leads to conversion of heme to an intermediate biliverdin for phycocyanobilin synthesis, and reduces the accumulation of biliverdin in the process of the phycocyanobilin synthesis. The genome of E. coli is further engineered to overexpress related genes of a metabolic pathway of phycocyanobilin, and a strain of recombinant E. coli with high yield of phycocyanobilin is obtained. The recombinant E. coli strain is cultured for 36 hr in a system using glycerol as a substrate, and the phycocyanobilin yield can reach 147 mg/L.

  • Publication number: 20240117387
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a P450 cytochrome enzyme for andrographolide synthesis and its application, belonging to the field of bioengineering. The present disclosure uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1D as a host, and implements knockout of ROX1 and GAL80 genes on the genome, and integrative expression of GGPP synthase encoding gene and CPS diterpene synthase encoding gene at ROX1 site; and implements free expression of ApCPR and CYP71A8 and CYP71D10 both with truncated signal peptides, successfully constructing recombinant S. cerevisiae, and achieving de novo synthesis of 3,15,19-Trihydroxy-8(17),13-ent-labdadiene-16-oic acid. Compared with the blank, a response value of a product peak reaches 1.9*106, and this strategy provides necessary reference for analyzing biosynthetic pathway of andrographolide and using metabolic engineering to synthesize andrographolide and related derivatives thereof.

  • Patent number: 10234419
    Abstract: The presently claimed invention provides an electrochemical analytical apparatus for electrochemical bath analysis. The apparatus comprise a static electrode and a rotatable unit. As steady liquid flow can be generated on the electrolytic surface of the static electrode by the rotatable unit through rotation, the static disk electrode does not involve any movement during the bath analysis such that the design of the electrical contact in the electrode can be substantially simplified.

  • Patent number: 9991161
    Abstract: A method for filling a through hole (TH) located on a substrate is provided. The TH is a continuous channel having an upper rim, a lower rim and an interior surface. In one embodiment, the method comprises steps (a)-(d). In the step (a), a conductive material (CM) is deposited over the substrate to thereby deposit a layer of the CM around the rims and on the interior surface. In the step (b), the deposited CM is etched. In particular, the etching step selectively removes more CM deposited at the rims relative to CM deposited at a mid-section of the interior surface of the channel. In the step (c), the steps (a) and (b) are optionally repeated until the channel is sealed at the mid-section by a bridge formed of CM. In the step (d), the CM is further deposited over the substrate to thereby completely fill the TH.
