  • Patent number: 11926982
    Abstract: An assembled subway station and a construction method thereof are provided. The assembled subway station includes a plurality of components combined in a ring shape, comprising a bottom plate component, two bottom corner components, two side wall components, a middle plate component, two top corner components, and a top plate component. Connection surfaces of each component are each provided with a concave-convex structure being matched with another concave-convex structure on a relevant connection surface of an adjacent component. Butt joint positions of two adjacent components are filled with sealing structures. The embedded grooves of two adjacent components are oppositely arranged, and connecting members for exerting opposite fastening forces on the two adjacent components are installed in the oppositely arranged embedded grooves.

  • Patent number: 11753615
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the field of bioengineering, and relates to breeding of industrial microorganisms, in particular to a genetically engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, method for constructing the same, and its use for brewing, the genetically engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae heterogeneously overexpresses an acetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene ALD6, an acetyl-CoA synthase gene ACS1 and an alcohol acyltransferase gene AeAT9. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain with high yield of ethyl acetate and low yield of higher alcohols provided by the present disclosure not only maintains excellent ethanol fermentation characteristics, but also reducing the production of higher alcohols which adversely affect the comfort after drinking, which is of great significance for a well-maintained and strengthened flavor characteristics of Chinese Baijiu, an improved and stabilized quality thereof, and even a reform in the fermentation process thereof.
