Ion-pumping microbial rhodopsins
Rhodopsins are light-sensing proteins used in optogenetics. The word "rhodopsin" originates from the Greek words "rhodo" and "opsis," indicating rose and sight, respectively. Although the classical meaning of rhodopsin is the red-colored pigment in our eyes, the modern meaning of rhodopsin encompasses photoactive proteins containing a retinal chromophore in animals and microbes. Animal and micr...
متن کاملMicrobial and Enzymatic Biofuel Cells
The purpose of this chapter is to review recent work in biofuel cells -that is, fuel cells relying at least in part on enzymatic catalysis for their activity. The chapter is divided into three sections: (1) a brief review of the principles common to fuel cells (both biological and non-biological), supported with a bibliography of more comprehensive treatments, (2) an overview of the literature ...
متن کاملExpanding the repertoire of biofuel alternatives through metabolic pathway evolution.
A multitude of concerns that include climate change, political instability, and depletion of petroleum resources has recently ignited renewed interest in fossil fuel alternatives (1). As a result, microbial systems have been extensively explored and successfully used for the biosynthesis of some biofuels, most notably ethanol (2, 3). Higher-chain alcohols, however, offer several advantages comp...
متن کاملMicrobial electrocatalysis to guide biofuel and biochemical bioprocessing Editorial
131 ISSN 1759-7269 10.4155/BFS.12.93 © 2013 Future Science Ltd Microbial electrocatalysis During the last 10 years, research on bioelectrochemical systems with alive microbes on anodes or cathodes (electrodes) has blossomed. We refer to microbial activity on electrodes as microbial electrocatalysis, especially when no artificial mediators are added to the cultures. Initially, researchers focuse...
متن کاملThe Pumping Lemma for Well-Nested Multiple Context-Free Languages
Seki et al. (1991) proved a rather weak pumping lemma for multiple context-free languages, which says that any infinite m-multiple context-free language contains a string that is pumpable at some 2m substrings. We prove a pumping lemma of the usual universal form for the subclass consisting of well-nested multiple context-free languages. This is the same class of languages generated by non-dupl...
