Systematic Engineering of Proteases in Saccharopolyspora Spinosa Reveals Synergistic Enhancement of Spinosad Biosynthesis via Substrate Flux Optimization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ARTP mutagenesis yielded Saccharopolyspora spinosa mutant D184 with improved extracellular nitrogen utilization. An integrated workflow of protease genetic manipulation, multi‐omics, and rational synergy design pinpointed a pepP‐clpP‐htpX synergistic triangular combination.

Evaluation of agricultural ecosystem services in fallowing land based on farmers' participation and model simulation [PDF]

, 2012
Fallowing with green fertilizer can benefit agricultural ecosystem services (AES). Farmers in Taiwan do not implement fallow practices and plant green fertilizer because the current subsidy level (46,000 NT$ per ha) is too low to manage fallowing.

Enhanced Energy Harvesting Performance of Biodegradable Polylactic Acid/3D Anodic Aluminum Oxide Composite Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Polylactic acid (PLA) embedded in 3D anodic aluminum oxide (3D‐AAO) yields triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with ɛeff = 5.1, delivering 20V and 108µW both per cm2. These agglomeration‐resistant, compostable/biocompatible devices retain 95% output after 104 cycles, enabling robust self‐powered Internet of Things (IoT) sensing.

Transcriptomic and Functional Analyses of Phenotypic Plasticity in a Higher Termite, Macrotermes barneyi Light

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Eusocial termites have a complex caste system, which leads to the division of labor. Previous studies offered some insight into the caste differentiation in lower termites; however, few studies were focusing on the molecular mechanisms of higher termites
