Deconstruction by C. thermocellum-from microbe mediated to dynamic redistribution of cellulosomes.

Life science alliance
Clostridium thermocellum is one of the most efficient microorganisms for the deconstruction of cellulosic biomass. To achieve this high level of cellulolytic activity, C. thermocellum uses large multienzyme complexes known as cellulosomes to break do...

Bacterial cellulose for emerging contaminants: A review of applications for PFAS, nanoplastics, and endocrine disruptors in water treatment.

The Science of the total environment
Emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), nanoplastics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), pose significant threats to water quality due to their persistence, toxicity, and resistance to conventional treatme...

Chiral Photonic Ionic Skin for Ultrafast, Hysteresis-Free Mechanosensing.

ACS nano
Biological skins integrate optical and electrical signaling for dynamic environmental interactions, inspiring the development of artificial photonic ionic skins. However, existing synthetic systems often lack mechanical robustness, fast response, and...

An Aerosol Jet-Printed Wearable Graphene/Cellulose Nanocrystal Acoustic Sensor for Speech Recognition.

ACS sensors
Wearable acoustic sensors offer a promising solution for effective communication for individuals with speech impairments by calibrating throat vibrations and converting them to synthesized speech. We developed a new type of piezoresistive acoustic se...

Deep-Learning-Guided Mining and Clustering of Remote Amino Acid Residues for the Simultaneous Engineering of the Catalytic Activity and Thermostability of a Processive Endoglucanase.

ACS synthetic biology
Processive endoglucanases, which possess both endo- and exoglucanase activities, are considered highly promising catalysts in cellulose degradation. In this study, we employed multiple deep learning models, including MutCompute, DeepSequence, and ESM...

Bioinspired multifunctional conductive hydrogel based on hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose for flexible sensors.

Carbohydrate polymers
Conductive hydrogels based on hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) show great potential in flexible sensors due to their low price and good biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the design of such conductive hydrogels with superior flexible deformability,...

Ligand Microenvironment-Regulated Nanozymes Enabled Machine Learning-Assisted Sensor Array for Simultaneous Identification of Phenolic Pollutants.

ACS sensors
Phenolic pollutants pose a great threat to human health due to high toxicity, whereas existing methods are difficult to achieve the rapid recognition of multiple phenolic pollutants. In this study, we developed a novel machine learning-assisted senso...
