Use of acetate as substrate for sustainable production of homoserine and threonine by Escherichia coli W3110: a modular metabolic engineering approach

Acetate, a promising yet underutilized carbon source for biological production, was explored for the efficient production of homoserine and threonine in Escherichia coli W. A modular metabolic engineering approach revealed the crucial roles of both acetate assimilation pathways (AckA/Pta and Acs), optimized TCA cycle flux and glyoxylate shunt activity, and enhanced CoA availability, mediated by increased pantothenate kinase activity, for efficient homoserine production. The engineered strain W-H22/pM2/pR1P exhibited a high acetate assimilation rate (5.47 mmol/g cell/h) and produced 44.1 g/L homoserine in 52 h with a 53% theoretical yield (0.18 mol/mol) in fed-batch fermentation. Similarly, strain W-H31/pM2/pR1P achieved 45.8 g/L threonine in 52 h with a 65% yield (0.22 mol/mol). These results represent the highest reported levels of amino acid production using acetate, highlighting its potential as a valuable and sustainable feedstock for biomanufacturing.

Environmental regulation and manufacturing employment: Evidence from China's Eleventh Five-Year Plan

This paper employs a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) identification strategy to investigate the impact of environmental regulation on employment in the manufacturing sector in China, using the country's Eleventh Five-Year Plan (FYP) as a quasi-experiment. Our results indicate that the 11th FYP had a significant negative impact on firm employment, with every 10% increase in SO2 reduction targets resulting in a 3.1% decrease in employment for firms in high-pollution industries. This corresponds to a reduction of approximately 9 people per firm. Our findings indicate that firms primarily reduce SO2 emissions by reducing production levels and transitioning to cleaner energy sources. Additionally, we show that political promotion incentives played a role in driving the decline in employment. Heterogeneous tests reveal that the impact was more significant for private firms, SMEs and trade-exposed firms.

How to stop economic growth

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><span dir="ltr" lang="EN-US"><span style="color:black">The answer to how to stop economic growth must be political rather than economic. Economic growth made by men has an impetus which can only be stopped by a deliberate choice. It takes national and international decisions to stop it. In order to organize a moratorium on economic growth (which eventually must lead to a stop on growth) I suggest to create blocks of nations in the world. The European Union can function as a model for such a block. The E.U. is on its way of becoming a supra-national government which was created to ensure a level playing field for its members. Now it is meant to create economic growth for its members, in the future its administration should be used to stop it. Blocks should agree on the targets to reach a durable economy. Globally or between certain more advanced blocks a date should be set to stop economic growth after that date. Each block should implement the goals to reach a durable economy and prevent products reaching its market that violate the goals of durability. Blocks in developing countries cannot be expected to stop economic growth. They need that growth for two reasons. Eventually they must reach the level of existence in the more advanced block and secondly they must have the time to improve the standard for durability of their products. They need the aid of the developed countries to reach a higher but also more durable level of production, but this aid comes with a quid pro quo, In the meantime they must do their utmost to stop wars in their regions and conduct a responsible population-policy to reduce the growth of their population and let it reduce on the long term.</span></span></span></span></p>

Augmenting root biomass productivity and reserpine level in Rauvolfia serpentina (L.) Benth. ex Kurz by foliar application of seaweed extracts

Natural biostimulants like seaweed extracts (SWE) have significantly increased crop productivity. However, studies exploring the effect of SWE on medicinal plant productivity are scant. The present study aimed to enhance the root biomass and reserpine content in Rauvolfia serpentina by foliar application of SWE. Using a randomized block design, a field experiment with R. serpentina was established, and seven treatments of SWE (3–21 %) were applied through a foliar spray. Data on growth, above-ground biomass, and root biomass of mature harvested plants were recorded, while dried roots were analyzed for physicochemical, total alkaloid, and reserpine content. Among the treatments, the application of SWE at 6 % demonstrated notably higher CD (13.20 cm) and plant spread (18.80 cm²) compared to other treatments, being comparable to SWE at 3 % (CD: 12.67 cm, plant spread: 18.42 cm²). Similarly, lower SWE doses significantly improved fresh-weight root biomass by 18.16–39.17 % and dry-weight root biomass by 16.53–58.23 % compared to the control. Physicochemical and alkaloid content in the root was increased by lower SWE doses and found safe for drug application as per quality standards. SWE @3 % increased the reserpine content significantly by 111.11–137.77 % over control, which is a good finding for commercial drug production. Therefore, the present study recommends the foliar application of low doses of SWE (3–6 %) for organic cultivation of economically important R serpentine for better root biomass and reserpine production, which would be safer in use and support export trade in the root.

Technical-scientific production and knowledge networks about medicinal plants and herbal medicines in the Amazon.

This paper explores the role of Brazilian research institutions in the global and national context of study of medicinal plants. Most of these plants have ethnopharmacological use and herbal medicines related to the Amazon. It highlights Brazil's position in scientific production and the importance of Amazonian resources in developing phytomedicines. The study aims to provide an overview of the technical-scientific production of medicinal plants and herbal medicines related to the Amazon, focusing on scientific impact, collaboration, Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of scientific production, and innovation system maturity. The study employs a comprehensive methodological approach, including data collection from Scopus covering the period from 2002 to 2022. The data was cleaned and analyzed using bibliometric and network analysis techniques. Advanced natural language processing techniques, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation and Jaccard distance measure, were used for TRL classification. The findings reveal a predominant contribution from Brazilian institutions and authors, with 1,850 publications analyzed. Key areas identified include Pharmacology, Toxicology, Pharmaceuticals, Medicine, and Biochemistry. The study also uncovers various collaborative networks and technological maturity levels, with a significant focus on early-stage development phases. The research concludes that Brazilian institutions, particularly those in the Amazon region, play a significant role in the scientific exploration and development of medicinal plants and herbal medicines. Despite this, countries like the USA were proportionally more productive in clinical trial research. The study underscores the potential of Brazil's rich biodiversity and traditional knowledge in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for neglected diseases. It suggests the need for stronger research systems and international collaboration to leverage these resources for global health benefits.

What if the upwelling weakens? Effects of rising temperature and nutrient depletion on coastal assemblages.

Surface temperature of the oceans has increased globally over the past decades. In coastal areas influenced by eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS), winds push seawater offshore and deep, cold and nutrient-rich seawater rise towards the surface, partially buffering global warming. On the North coast of Portugal, the NW Iberian upwelling system allows extensive kelp forests to thrive in these "boreal-like" conditions, fostering highly diverse and productive communities. However, the warming of the upper layer of the ocean may weaken this upwelling, leading to higher sea surface temperature and lower nutrient input in the coastal areas. The effects of these changes on the structure and function of coastal ecosystems remain unexplored. The present study aimed to examine the combined effects of elevated temperature and nutrient depletion on semi-naturally structured assemblages. The eco-physiological responses investigated included growth, chlorophyll fluorescence and metabolic rates at the levels of individual species and whole assemblages. Our findings showed interactive effects of the combination of elevated temperature with nutrient depletion on the large canopy-forming species (i.e., kelp). As main contributor to community response, those effects drove the whole assemblage responses to significant losses in productivity levels. We also found an additive effect of elevated temperature and reduced nutrients on sub-canopy species (i.e., Chondrus crispus), while turfs were only affected by temperature. Our results suggest that under weakening upwelling scenarios, the ability of the macroalgal assemblages to maintain high productivity rates could be seriously affected and predict a shift in community composition with the loss of marine forests.

Cardiomyocyte βII spectrin plays a critical role in maintaining cardiac function by regulating mitochondrial respiratory function.

βII spectrin is a cytoskeletal protein known to be tightly linked to heart development and cardiovascular electrophysiology. However, the roles of βII spectrin in cardiac contractile function and pathological post-myocardial infarction remodeling remain unclear. Here, we investigated whether and how βII spectrin, the most common isoform of non-erythrocytic spectrin in cardiomyocytes, is involved in cardiac contractile function and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We observed that the levels of serum βII spectrin breakdown products (βII SBDPs) were significantly increased in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Concordantly, βII spectrin was degraded into βII SBDPs by calpain in mouse hearts after I/R injury. Using tamoxifen-inducible cardiac-specific βII spectrin knockout mice, we found that deletion of βII spectrin in the adult heart resulted in spontaneous development of cardiac contractile dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis at 5 weeks after tamoxifen treatment. Moreover, at 1 week after tamoxifen treatment, although spontaneous cardiac dysfunction in cardiac-specific βII spectrin knockout mice had not developed, deletion of βII spectrin in the heart exacerbated I/R-induced cardiomyocyte death and heart failure. Furthermore, restoration of βII spectrin expression via adenoviral small activating RNA (saRNA) delivery into the heart reduced I/R injury. Immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry (IP-LC-MS/MS) analyses and functional studies revealed that βII spectrin is indispensable for mitochondrial complex I activity and respiratory function. Mechanistically, βII spectrin promotes translocation of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase 75 kDa Fe-S protein 1 (NDUFS1) from the cytosol to mitochondria by crosslinking with actin filaments (F-actin) to maintain F-actin stability. βII spectrin is an essential cytoskeletal element for preserving mitochondrial homeostasis and cardiac function. Defects in βII spectrin exacerbate cardiac I/R injury.

Astragaloside IV inhibits cell viability and glycolysis of hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating KAT2A-mediated succinylation of PGAM1

BackgroundAstragaloside IV (AS-IV) is one of the basic components of Astragali radix, that has been shown to have preventive effects against various diseases, including cancers. This study aimed to explore the role of AS-IV in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its underlying mechanism.MethodsThe cell viability, glucose consumption, lactate production, and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) in SNU-182 and Huh7 cell lines were detected by specific commercial kits. Western blot was performed to analyze the succinylation level in SNU-182 and Huh7 cell lines. The interaction between lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) 2 A and phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) was evaluated by co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays. The role of KAT2A in vivo was explored using a xenografted tumor model.ResultsThe results indicated that AS-IV treatment downregulated the protein levels of succinylation and KAT2A in SNU-182 and Huh7 cell lines. The cell viability, glucose consumption, lactate production, ECAR, and succinylation levels were decreased in AS-IV-treated SNU-182 and Huh7 cell lines, and the results were reversed after KAT2A overexpression. KAT2A interacted with PGAM1 to promote the succinylation of PGAM1 at K161 site. KAT2A overexpression promoted the viability and glycolysis of SNU-182 and Huh7 cell lines, which were partly blocked following PGAM1 inhibition. In tumor-bearing mice, AS-IV suppressed tumor growth though inhibiting KAT2A-mediated succinylation of PGAM1.ConclusionAS-IV inhibited cell viability and glycolysis in HCC by regulating KAT2A-mediated succinylation of PGAM1, suggesting that AS-IV might be a potential and suitable therapeutic agent for treating HCC.

Global warming’s grip on agriculture: Strategies for sustainable production amidst climate change using regression based prediction

The intersection of climate change and food production is emerging as a critical area of research, focusing on both the potential benefits and the significant challenges posed by changing climate conditions. Elevated levels of carbon dioxide alongside rising global temperatures could theoretically boost crop yields, benefiting both human and animal consumption. This study examines the impact of various climate variables—temperature, humidity, precipitation, and soil moisture—on the primary production of essential foods such as rice, wheat, livestock, milk, eggs, vegetables, and fruits. Utilizing data from different countries spanning from 2000 to 2020, drawn from world development indicators, this research employs econometric analysis coupled with deep learning-based cluster analysis. Additionally, it projects future production trends up to 2100 using the moving average time series forecasting method. The findings reveal a direct correlation between climate variables and the production levels of vegetables and other food items, highlighting the immediate effects of climatic changes on agriculture. The study also points out the uneven distribution of these climate impacts, with developing countries facing more severe challenges due to their limited resources and adaptive capacities. This uneven impact contributes to increased uncertainty in food supply and affects market stability. Furthermore, concerns about food safety are intensifying under the influence of climate change, although some regions have implemented effective food conservation and control measures to mitigate these risks. This research underscores a complex landscape where the risks and benefits of climate change on food production are not uniformly distributed, but rather are influenced by a myriad of factors including geographic location, economic conditions, and the level of technological advancement in food safety practices. The nuanced understanding of these dynamics is crucial for developing targeted strategies to enhance food security in the face of a changing climate.

Enchasing Production Planning and Inventory Management : A Quantitative Approachto Forecasting for Bottled Mineral Water Products at PT Arima

PT Arima is a company engaged in the production of bottled mineral water. The demand for bottled mineral water is experiencing fluctuations, with demand increasing at the end, so companies must carry out optimal production planning to avoid stock buildup. Production planning at PT Arima is carried out by identifying demand levels using quantitative forecasting methods, namely moving average (n = 3) and exponential smoothing (α = 0.05) to maintain optimal production levels and stock in the warehouse does not accumulate. The results of processing the level of forecasting accuracy using 12 months of demand data obtained using the moving average method showed that the production level = 39,733 boxes in January 2024. MAD = 3733.22; MSE = 21566024.78 and MAPE = 0.10. Based on the exponential smoothing method, the production level = 38,081 boxes in January 2024. MAD = 5773.50; MSE = 43466303 and MAPE = 0.15. Based on the results of comparing the MAPE values ​​of the two forecasting methods, the lowest MAPE value was obtained, namely the average method (n=3) of 0.10 with the production level of bottled mineral water to maintain optimal supply conditions in January 2024 of 39,733 boxes.

Lexical Knowledge and Its Effects on Language Proficiency: A Synonymous Study

Previous studies have proved that there is a strong connection between a language learner's vocabulary knowledge and their linguistic ability. It is believed that knowing one sense of a word is not sufficient, especially for academic learners and it is considered to be some sort of lacking lexical knowledge since learners cannot express their ideas/ thoughts using different style. Thus, investigating the size and depth of known words that learners obtained during their study period in Iraqi universities is a significant issue to predict their abilities in using the target language. The aim is to investigate the “vocabulary knowledge” and its use of a group of EFL fourth-stage learners in the “Department of English language and Literature/ College of Arts/ Mustansiriyah University”. The used test that fulfills the study aims is based on Read’s (2000, p.2) Assessing Vocabulary. The type of the test that Read (ibid) stated is commonly used in the field of EFL teaching and learning, and learners have acquainted with it many times through their period of study. The main purpose of the test is to look into the recognition and production levels of learners' lexical knowledge (ibid). A total number of 30 learners went through the two-parted test since a higher number of participants makes findings more accurate. The results obtained were not as expected, in general. Participants suffer from deficiency in the knowledge of vocabularies in connection with its breadth and depth.

Quality Risk Assessment of Prefabricated Steel Structural Components during Production Using Fuzzy Bayesian Networks

This study aims to address quality issues in the production of prefabricated steel structural components for buildings by investigating challenges in quality risk assessment. It identifies key factors contributing to quality problems and establishes an evaluation index system. Traditional methods encounter limitations in handling uncertainty and conducting quantitative analysis. Therefore, the fuzzy Bayesian network (FBN) theory is utilized to perform a probabilistic analysis of quality risks during the production phase. This research achieves a more accurate and dynamic risk assessment by integrating the strengths of fuzzy logic and Bayesian networks (BNs) and by utilizing expert knowledge, the similarity aggregation method (SAM), and the noisy-OR gate model. The study reveals that factors such as the “low professional level of designers”, “poor production refinement”, and “poor storage conditions for finished products” have a significant impact on quality risks. This study offers a scientific risk assessment tool designed to address the quality control challenges commonly experienced in the manufacturing of steel structural components. Identifying the critical risk factors that influence quality empowers actual production enterprises to develop risk management strategies and improvement measures in a more focused manner, thereby facilitating more effective resource allocation and risk prevention and control. Consequently, this approach has a significant impact on enhancing the overall production level and quality within the industry.

Do rotations and intercrops matter? Opportunities for intensification and diversification of maize-based cropping systems in Zambia

ContextRealizing the double-edged goals of food security and crop diversification require knowledge of crop yield response to different agricultural practices and the extent to which such response is context dependent. This is particularly important in Southern Africa where cropping systems are dominated by maize and smallholders use few external inputs. ObjectiveThe objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the performance of cropping systems with different levels of legume diversification and intensification on maize productivity across the main agroecological zones and farming systems of Zambia, and (2) to establish the minimum land required to reach maize self-sufficiency at household level with the different cropping systems tested. MethodsSix maize-based cropping systems, comprising maize monocropping, maize-legume rotations and intercrops under ‘conventional’ tillage and conservation agriculture, were evaluated across 40 farms in contrasting agro-ecological zones and farming systems of Zambia. A household survey was conducted in the same communities hosting the on-farm trials to quantify the share of households with enough maize cultivated area to benefit from the tested cropping systems. ResultsMaize yield measured in the on-farm trials ranged, on average, between 3.6 and 5.4 t ha−1, which was greater than mean maize yields reported by farmers not hosting on-farm trials during the same growing seasons and in the same sites. Our results showed a clear positive effect of legume rotation on maize yield in Eastern province only, where cropping systems including groundnut as rotation crop yielded between 1.0 and 2.0 t ha−1 more maize than other cropping systems. Pigeon pea intercrops and Gliricidia hedgerows, crop residue management, and tillage practice had no significant effect on maize yield in any of the provinces. Finally, nearly 35, 50, and 70% of surveyed farms in Northern, Eastern, and Southern province would have enough land to achieve the same level of maize production obtained on their farm with the yields, and associated area requirements, of the maize-legume rotations tested in the on-farm trials. ConclusionLegume rotations can increase maize productivity on land abundant farms in high potential maize production areas of Southern Africa, whereas legume intercrops have benefits at cropping systems level and should be targeted to land constrained farms. SignificanceThe study contributes to better understand the niche for diversified maize-based cropping systems with legume rotations and intercrops in Southern Africa, along with their impacts on maize productivity at the field level and their land requirements at the farm level.

Berry anthocyanins prevent α-dicarbonyls and advanced glycation end product formation in phosphate-buffered saline-based model systems, cookie and ground pork.

α-Dicarbonyls and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are the heat-induced potential toxicants commonly found in thermally processed foods due to the Maillard reaction. Research has shown that both α-dicarbonyls and AGEs can cause oxidative stress and inflammation and have a positive link with several chronic diseases, such as diabetes. This study found that commonly consumed berry fruits exhibited excellent methylglyoxal (MGO)-trapping and antiglycative activities, positively associated with their total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Blackcurrant exhibited the strongest MGO-trapping and antiglycative activities among the tested berry fruits. In addition, we demonstrated that fortification with blackcurrant significantly reduced α-dicarbonyls and AGEs formation in the chocolate cookies and marinated ground pork. Delphinidin and cyanidin glycosides were identified as the primary bioactive compounds of blackcurrant that trapped MGO to form the corresponding mono- and di-MGO adducts. This study suggested that blackcurrant anthocyanins might serve as a novel additive to reduce the consumption of dietary reactive carbonyl species and AGEs from both animal- and plant-derived processed foods. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The levels of α-dicarbonyls and advanced glycation end products in ground pork and cookies were significantly reduced when fortified with blackcurrant. The blackcurrant anthocyanins might be a novel agent inhibiting α-dicarbonyls and dietary advanced glycation end products formation in thermally processed foods.

Can performance-based financing improve efficiency of health centers in Ethiopia? A Malmquist Productivity Index analysis

IntroductionThe Ethiopian government has introduced several healthcare financing reforms intending to improve efficiency. Piloting implementation of performance-based financing is one of these actions. The purpose of this research is to assess the efficiency of healthcare facilities that have implemented performance-based financing compared to those that have not.MethodsEfficiency was measured using a nonparametric data envelopment analysis and the Malmquist Productivity Index technique. Total factor productivity change, technical change, and technological change are compared across eight sampled healthcare facilities that are implementing performance-based financing and eight that are not in Ethiopia.ResultsHealth facilities implementing performance-based financing have a mean technical efficiency score of 64%, allowing for a potential 36% reduction in inputs without affecting outputs. Their scale efficiency is 88%, indicating a potential 12% increase in total outputs without expanding facilities. In contrast, facilities not implementing performance-based financing have a mean technical efficiency score of 62%, with a potential for 38% input reduction without affecting outputs. Their scale efficiency is 87%, suggesting a potential 13% increase in total outputs without scaling up facilities. Among the 16 healthcare facilities observed, seven experienced a decline in the mean total productivity, while one remained stagnant. The remaining eight facilities witnessed an increase in productivity. The healthcare facilities implementing performance-based financing showed a 1.3% decrease in mean total productivity during the observed period. Among them, five showed an increase and three showed a decrease in the total factor of productivity. The mean total factor of productivity of all healthcare facilities not implementing performance-based financing remained stagnant over the three-year period (2019–2021), with four showing an increase and four showing a decrease in total productivity.ConclusionsThe study concludes that implementing performance-based financing did not improve productivity levels among healthcare facilities over three years. In fact, productivity decreased among the facilities implementing performance-based financing, while those not implementing it remained stagnant. This shows health facilities that implement performance-based financing tend to utilize more resources for similar outputs, contradicting the anticipated efficiency improvement.

A Critical Examination and Scrutiny between Tata Steels and JSW Steels Limited in India

Abstract: Over the past few years, the Indian steel sector has advanced quickly thanks to solid foundations. The industry is receiving all of the necessary components needed for rapid expansion. The industry is receiving billions of dollars in investments from the private sector and advantageous industrial changes from the government. Due to the robust domestic demand from the building, automotive, and infrastructure sectors, the industry was able to maintain its positive growth momentum even during the difficult economic downturn. With a stellar history, the nation is now well-known in the global steel sector. The remarkable performance of the industry has attracted global steel companies from all over the world. For instance, India's production of crude steel reached 56.6 million metric tonnes in 2009, a modest year-over-year increase of 2.7%. Conversely, a number of Asian nations, including South Korea and Japan, experienced a sharp drop in their production levels. This further demonstrates the Indian steel industry's robustness and resilience against outside risk factors. The impact of the steel industry on two significant businesses, Tata Steels and JSW Steels, is discussed in this essay. Additionally, the author has attempted to use ratio analysis in the study to highlight Tata Steels' and JSW Steels' financial performance.

Structure and antitumor activity of a polysaccharide from Rosa roxburghii

It is well known that Rosa roxburghii, as a homology of both medicine and food, is rich in polysaccharides. To discover bioactive macromolecules for combating cancer, the polysaccharides in R. roxburghii were investigated, leading to the purification of a polysaccharide (RRTP80–1). RRTP80–1 was measured to have an average molecular weight of 8.65 × 103 g/mol. Monosaccharide composition analysis revealed that RRTP80–1 was formed from three types of monosaccharides including arabinose, glucose, and galactose. Methylation and GC–MS analysis suggested that the backbone of RRTP80–1 consisted of →5)-α-l-Araf-(1→, →6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→, →2,5)-α-l-Araf-(1→, →4,6)-β-d-Galp-(1→, and →3)-α-l-Araf-(1→, with branch chains composed of α-l-Araf-(1→. In vivo studies indicated that RRTP80–1 exhibited inhibitory activity against the growth and proliferation of neoplasms in the zebrafish tumor xenograft model by suppressing angiogenesis. Additionally, RRTP80–1 was found to upregulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) production levels in zebrafish models. All these studies suggest that RRTP80–1 activates the immune system to inhibit tumors. The potential role of the newly discovered homogeneous polysaccharide RRTP80–1 in cancer treatment was preliminarily clarified in this study.
