    Biodiesel from microalgae is considered as the only renewable biofuel that has the potential to displace traditional petroleum-derived transport fuels and meet the global demand for transport fuels. However, its more widespread use is limited by high cost of microalgal cultivation. Industrial waste gas(flue gas) contains not only a lot of CO2, but also considerable sulfur oxides(SOx) and nitrogen oxides(NOx), so utilization of flue gas for microalgal cultivation to reduce the cost of microalgal biodiesel has atracted more and more attention. In this paper, the mechanism of absorption and metablization of CO2, SO2 and NOx by microalgae and the applications of flue gas in cultivation of microalgae were reviewed. Based on the unique capacity of microalgal suspention culture system in utilization of CO2, SO2 and NOx, the idea of simultaneous lipid production, CO2 fixation, SO2 and NOx removal by microalgae was established.

    As a Gram-positive bacteria, Bacillus subtilis is an attractive host for the production of heterologous secretory proteins for several reasons:it is non-pathogenic and the capable of secreting functional extracellular proteins directly to the culture medium, a great deal of vital information concerning large scale fermentation and production technology. One of the key factors for achieving high-level expression of heterologous proteins is the use of a strong and control promoter. In present, the promoters of Bacillus subtilis can be classified into three categories:constitutive promoters, inducer-specific promoters and autoinducible promoters. This paper described the advantages and disadvantages of Bacillus subtilis expression system and the classification of promoters. At the same time, we summarized the methods of the amplification of new promoters, which provided a foundation for improving Bacillus subtilis expression systems and the industrial production of heterologous proteins .

    Blue-light receptors phototropin (PHOT)mediate a wide set of physiological and developmental responses. As some PHOT downstream signal transduction components have been identified in Arabidopsis by genetic analyses, we have found that PKS1 of Phytochrome kinase substrate PKS family interacts with members of calmodulin (CAM), which are Ca2+ binding protein. In order to address the issue of how PKS2 interacts with CAM4, firstly cDNA full length sequences of PKS2 and CAM4 were obtained by RT-PCR technique. Then, it was confirmed that PKS2 could be interact with CAM4 by tests of yeast two-hybrid system and bimolecular fluorescence complementation. These date could contribute to enrich relation between PKS and CAM, which would provide base for further uncovering PHOT functions.

    Myeloid differentiation factor 88(TfMyD88) is a key adaptor protein in the Toll-madiated signaling passway. In this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA from the roughskin soulpin, Trachidermus fasciatus. The full-length of MyD88 was 1 555 bp, which contained an open reading frame(ORF) of 867 bp encoding a polypeptide of 288 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence has a conserved death domain(DD) at the N-terminal and a typical Toll/interleukin-1 receptor(TIR) domain at the C-terminal. The mRNA expression patterns of TfMyD88 in healthy and LPS challenged roughskin soulpin were detected using quantitative Real-time PCR. MyD88 was expressed broadly in the blood, heart, liver, gill, intestine, skin, musle, kidney, spleen, brain, with the highest expression in the gill. The expression of TfMyD88 post challenge with LPS(lipopolysaccharide) was detected in blood, liver, gill, skin and spleen. The up-regulation of the expression levels of TfMyD88 in all the detccted tissues after chanllaged by LPS suggests that MyD88 plays an important role in roughskin soulpin defenses against bacterial infection.

    The fermentation system produced epothilone is complex, and the production strain is more difficult to operate, leading to difficulties in fermentation parameters measured, so far there is no reporting on Epothilone fermentation kinetics. In this paper, the batch fermentation kinetics of the epothilone B produced by Sorangium cellulosum SoF5-76 was studied in a 5 L fermentor. During the process, the temperature and pH were almost constant, 30℃, 7.4. When the fermentation finished, the dry cell weight, epothilone B production and residual glycerol could reach 3.00 g/L, 18.20 mg/L and 0.049 g/L. On the bases of Logistic and Luedking-Piret equation, the models of cell growth, epothilone B production and substrate consumption were established, and the non-line fitting was employed to model the kinetics of fermentation by software MATLAB. The results show that the kinetic models were in good agreement with the fermentation process.
