💡 The Global patterns and driving factors of non-leaf litter carbon quality 💡

Results:
1️⃣ only #TotalCarbon and cellulose concentrations significantly varied;
2️⃣ C quality: angiosperms > gymnosperms, herbaceous > woody plants, broadleaved > coniferous trees;
3️⃣ soil properties generally showed strong impacts.

Researchers reveal structure and assembly mechanism of unique module in cellulosome

Cellulosomes are multi-enzyme complexes known for their efficient lignocellulose degradation, which is valuable in bioenergy technique development. The diverse composition and intricate assembly of cellulosomes give them exceptional substrate degradation capabilities, and deciphering their complex assembly mechanisms can provide a better understanding of their efficiency and promote their applications in bioenergy production.

Researchers reveal a unique, hitherto-unknown bacterial transcriptional promoter recognition mode

Researchers led by Prof. Zhu Ping from the Institute of Biophysics and Prof. Feng Yingang at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, both under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have revealed a unique, hitherto-unknown bacterial transcriptional promoter recognition mode by distinct σI factors in Clostridium thermocellum, both with respect to domain organization and binding mode to promoter DNA.

Project seeks to make bioplastics more attractive for industry

In the RUBIO project, 18 partners are turning the vision of a sustainable plastics industry into reality. Their goal is to use regionally available plant residues to create versatile, sustainable products that are recyclable and biodegradable. As part of the project, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP is developing new types of the bioplastic polybutylene succinate (PBS) so that it can be used for significantly more applications. Together with the company POLIFILM EXTRUSION GmbH, the Fraunhofer IAP has developed an initial commercial product.
