  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11746353
    Abstract: A Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain with high yield of ethyl butyrate and a construction method and an application thereof are provided. The strain is obtained by over-expressing in the starting strain acetyl coenzyme A acyl transferase gene Erg10, 3-hydroxybutyryl coenzyme A dehydrogenase gene Hbd, 3-hydroxybutyryl coenzyme A dehydratase gene Crt, trans-2-enoyl coenzyme A reductase gene Ter, and alcohol acyl transferase gene AAT. Compared to the starting bacteria not producing ethyl butyrate, the yield of ethyl butyrate of the constructed strain reaches 77.33±3.79 mg/L, the yield of the ethyl butyrate of the strain with double copy expression of gene Ter and gene AAT reaches 99.65±7.32 mg/L, increased by 28.9% compared with the EST strain, and 40.93±3.18 mg/L of ethyl crotonate is unexpectedly produced.

  • Publication number: 20220168753
    Abstract: An electrostatic dust removal apparatus and an electrode unit thereof are disclosed. The electrostatic dust removal apparatus includes a frame, and a plurality of electrode units. The plurality of electrode units include at least one high-potential unit and at least one low-potential unit. The plurality of electrode units are provided on the frame and are spaced apart from each other. The at least one high-potential unit and the at least one low-potential unit are arranged alternately, and an air channel for removing dust is formed between the electrode units adjacent to each other. Each of the plurality of electrode units includes a conducting part and an insulating part, the conducting part is a conductive plastic part and includes an electrical field generator and a conducting end, and the insulating part covers at least a portion of the electrical field generator.
