Abstract: The invention provides a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for producing a human milk lipid substitute. By integrating a heterologous lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase into Saccharomyces cerevisiae and knocking out its own natural lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase, the content of palmitic acid (C16:0) at Sn-2 position of triacylglycerol produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is increased, to synthesize a human milk lipid substitute. On this basis, a metabolic pathway related gene is knocked out, to further increase the content of human milk lipid substitute in the product. In the present invention, a human milk lipid substitute is de novo synthesized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the first time, in which the total fatty acid is 15% or more, and the relative content of C16:0 at Sn-2 position reaches about 60%.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for increasing the yield of 7-dehydrocholesterol in yeast by using compartmentalization. The method includes steps of: by taking yeast as a starting strain, expressing heterologous sterol delta 24-reductase and cholestenol delta-isomerase, wherein the yield of 7-DHC in Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C is detected to be 10.15 mg/L. According to the method of the invention, partial enzymes in a 7-DHC synthesis path are positioned in compartments in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by using a peroxisome and a mitochondrial positioning tag, and a relatively independent 7-DHC synthesis path is formed. Meanwhile, the storage space of precursor substances needed by 7-DHC synthesis is increased, the feedback effect is reduced, the conversion efficiency between enzymes is improved in the same compartment, the loss of the acting substrate is reduced, and finally the yield of the 7-DHC is improved by 4 times and reaches 53.31 mg/L.

Abstract: Conventional television audience measurements are made with diaries or by imaging the area in front of a television and trying to identify the people in the images watching television. Unfortunately, diaries are only accurate if the audience members record entries in them, and image-based techniques are intrusive. The present techniques address these problems by using a viewer's wearable device to measure a viewer's proximity to a television. The wearable device emits or receives low-power beacon signals; measurements of the signal strength are used to calculate the viewer's distance to the television. If the viewer is close enough to the television and the television is on, the viewer may be engaged with the content on the television. This system is simple, non-intrusive, and can used to measure engagement with each television in a multi-television household.
