RESUMEN
Two Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile bacteria with a single polar flagellum, designated strains C1424T and C2222T, were isolated from marine alga collected from the sea shore at Yantai, PR China. Strain C1424T grew at 4-37 °C and in the presence of 1-9â% (w/v) NaCl, while strain C2222T grew at 4-32 °C with 1-6â% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and concatenated amino acid sequences of 120 ubiquitous single-copy proteins showed that both strains C1424T and C2222T belonged to the genus Marinomonas, showing highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to the type strains of Marinomonas primoryensis (98.1â%) and Marinomonas dokdonensis (98.1â%), respectively. The major fatty acids of the two strains were C18â:â1 ω6c and/or C18â:â1 ω7c, C16â:â1 ω6c and/or C16â:â1 ω7c and C16â:â0, their predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol, and their sole respiratory quinone was Q8. On the basis of polyphasic analyses, strains C1424T and C2222T are considered to represent two novel species within the genus Marinomonas, for which the names Marinomonas transparens sp. nov. and Marinomonas sargassi sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains are C1424T (=KCTC 72119T=MCCC 1K03601T) and C2222T (=KCTC 72120T=MCCC 1K03602T), respectively.

Blue indigo dye, an important natural colorant, is used for textiles and food additives worldwide, while another red isomer, indirubin, is the major active ingredient of a traditional Chinese medicine named "Danggui Longhui Wan" for treating various diseases including granulocytic leukemia, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. In this work, we constructed a new and highly efficient indigoid production system by optimizing a novel terpenoid cyclase, XiaI, from the xiamycin biosynthetic pathway. Through introducing the flavin-reducing enzyme Fre, tryptophan-lysing and -importing enzymes TnaA and TnaB, and H2O2-degrading enzyme KatE and optimizing the fermentation parameters including temperature, the concentration of isopropyl-ß-d-thiogalactopyranoside, and feeding of the l-tryptophan precursor, the final maximum productivity of indigoids by the recombinant strain Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) (XiaI-Fre-TnaAB-KatE) was apparently improved to 101.9 mg/L, an approximately 60-fold improvement to that of the starting strain E. coli BL21(DE3) (XiaI) (1.7 mg/L). In addition, when the fermentation system was enlarged to 1 L in the flask (feeding with 5 mM tryptophan and 10 mM 2-hydroxyindole), the indigoid productivity further increased to 276.7 mg/L at 48 h, including an indigo productivity of 26.0 mg/L and an indirubin productivity of 250.7 mg/L, which has been the highest productivity of indirubin so far. This work provided a basis for the commercial production of bio-indigo and the clinical drug indirubin in the future.
RESUMEN
A polyoxometalate-based microsphere catalyst has been prepared through the one-step template method using phosphotungstic acid as the core and TiO2 as the shell, denoted as PW12@TiO2. Multiple characterisation methods namely FT-IR, XRD, XPS, Raman, SEM and TEM were used to characterize the resultant materials, and results indicate that the phosphotungstic acid was encapsulated into the TiO2 phase as the core to form the core-shell structure. The resultant composites were used as catalysts for the oxidative desulfurization of a model oil with H2O2 as oxidant and acetonitrile as solvent. Catalyst PW12@TiO2 exhibited good catalytic activity, with 99.9% S-removal of dibenzothiophene after 60 min under the optimum conditions. Leaching and recycling experiments revealed that the PW12@TiO2 catalyst has excellent recyclability, and there was no significant decrease in S-removal after seven cycles under identical reaction conditions, which could be attributed to the fabrication of the core-shell structure, thus inhibiting the loss in the active sites.
