In this paper, an optimal semi-continuous process for vinegar production from edible alcohol through biotransformation by acetic acid bacteria (AAB) WUST-01 was developed. The optimized medium composition for the starting-up stage was glucose 5.1 g/L, yeast extract 26.2 g/L, and ethanol 11.9 mL/L, and the optimal ethanol for the following semi-continuous stage was 50 mL/L. In the semi-continuous biotransformation process, the optimal withdraw ratio was 50% of working volume with 12 h cycle time. With these conditions, the total acidity could reach to 77.3 g/L and the acidity productivity could reach to 3.0 g/(L h) in a 5 L reactor. Furthermore, it was investigated to strengthen vinegar synthesis through enhancing alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activity in AAB by ferrous ion and pueraria flower extract as the enzyme regulators. With these regulators, the vinegar synthesis efficiency can be improved 16.3 and 13.2% respectively.

In this study, based on the oxidase activity and photothermal effect of manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO 2 NSs), with thiamine (TH) as the fluorescence response signal and tris (2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) hexahydrate as the reference signal, an enzyme-regulated ratiometric fluorescence and photothermal dual-mode probe was constructed for the quantitative detection of organophosphorus pesticide (OPs) residues. OPs reduced the production of the reductive product thiocholine by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase , thereby regulating the residual amount of MnO 2 NSs. With the increase of OPs concentration, the color of the probe solution gradually transitioned from red to blue, and the temperature gradually increased. Using dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos as pesticide models, the developed probes exhibited sensitive responses to OPs in a wide linear range of 0.1–8000 ng/mL. The detection limits of dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos in fluorescence mode were 1.13 × 10 −3 ng/mL and 0.86 ng/mL, respectively. The corresponding detection limits in photothermal mode were 1.01 ng/mL and 1.02 ng/mL, respectively. The proposed probe displayed excellent anti-interference and reliability in the analysis of OPs residues in real samples. The dual-mode probe with self-verification function is expected to provide more accurate and robust detection results than the single-mode probe, and has a wider application prospect.

The self-healing property based on metal-ligand physical coordination is particularly interesting in bio-hydrogel science due to its allowance for multiple local healing events to process. As the most abundant renewable green resource in nature, Gleditsia sinensis galactomannan has great potential as a starting material for functional materials. In this study, the biocompatible Gleditsia sinensis galactomannan and cellulose were firstly chemically modified and then taken as the main constituent for constructing the metal-ligand coordination through an enzyme-regulated strategy. The hydrogel could quickly gelatinize in the surrounding environment, corresponding to the violent exothermic phenomenon, and exhibit extraordinary self-healing behavior. The molecular dynamics simulation of the hydrogel confirmed the more stable coordinated configuration from Fe(III)-chelates than Fe(II)-chelates. The morphology, mechanical property, antibacterial, and cytotoxicity of the prepared hydrogel were also studied. Our results indicated that galactomannan hydrogel based on the metal-ligand networks could balance the kinetic stability and intrinsic healability through the enzyme-induced route, which provide a new perspective in the field of biomaterial applications.

Cu 2+ are found to greatly reduce the photoinduced oxidase activity of fluorescein and then inhibit the chromogenic reaction catalyzed by fluorescein. A simple colorimetric assay for Cu 2+ is established. Based on this, bifunctional nanocomposites of α-fetoprotein (AFP) antibody (Ab) and copper-based metal-organic framework (Ab2@Cu-MOF) are synthesized by the simple self-assembly of AFP Ab2, Cu 2+ , and 4,4′-dipyridyl: the binding site of AFP Ab2 exposed on the surface of the nanocomposites can specifically recognize AFP antigen; Cu 2+ in nanocomposites can inhibit the visible light-induced activity of fluorescein. The structure of Ab2@Cu-MOF disintegrate and Cu 2+ is released in an acetate buffer solution. The higher the amount of AFP antigens, the more significant the inhibitory effect. Thus, the Ab2@Cu-MOF immunoassay for AFP determination is established using 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine as chromogenic substrate with a detection limit of 35 pg.mL −1 . This simple, cheap, and sensitive method sheds substantial light on practical clinical diagnosis. Meanwhile, the mechanism of inhibition is revealed to facilitate the targeted selection of enzyme regulators.
