Screening,Growth Medium Optimisation and Heterotrophic Cultivation of Microalgae for Biodiesel Production

This article presents a study on screening of microalgal strains from the Peking University Algae Collection and heterotrophic cultivation for biodiesel production of a selected microalgal strain. Among 89 strains, only five were capable of growing under heterotrophic conditions in liquid cultures and Chlorella sp. PKUAC 102 was found the best for the production of heterotrophic algal biodiesel. Composition of the growth medium was optimised using response surface methodology and optimised growth conditions were successfully used for cultivation of the strain in a fermentor. Conversion of algal lipids to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) showed that the lipid profile of the heterotrophically cultivated Chlorella sp. PKUAC 102 contains fatty acids suitable for biodiesel production.     

Application of the flory-mandelkern equation to individual unfractionated polymer samples

A method is developed for the application of the Flory-Mandelkern equation to the determination of the weight-average molecular weights of individual, broad, unfractionated polymer samples. The method includes appropriate averaging of the sedimentation constants and of the intrinsic viscosity of an unfractionated polymer sample in a θ solution from the velocity sedimentation data. By means of the method, individual samples of polystyrene, poly(isooctyl methacrylate) and of the copolymer of styrene with 20% isooctyl methacrylate prepared under the same emulsion polymerization conditions from commercial monomers have been investigated. Appropriate θ solvents have been found by the Elias method. Equations for the dependence of the sedimentation constants and of the intrinsic viscosities in the θ solvents on the molecular weights have been established for the polymers without fractionation. Osmometric and light-scattering measurements as well as Archibald experiments have shown that by the proposed method the molecular weight cut-off effect is eliminated in the above equations and in the polydispersity parameter M _w/M _n. Molecular weight distributions have been determined for the polymer samples.     

Application of a retention database to the identification of individual polychlorinated biphenyl congeners in Aroclors mixture using selected polychlorinated biphenyls as a reference series

The database of the relative retention times (RRTs) of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) reported in literature was used to calculate the retention indices (RIs) of all 209 PCB congeners on temperature programmed capillary column Rtx-5. Calculation of retention indices was based on reference series of seven congeners (PCB IUPAC Nos. 18, 52, 101, 143, 185, 203 and 206) that exhibit linear relative retention time behaviour as a function of chlorine number. The calculated indices were compared to those determined in our laboratory as well as to those obtained by other authors. The proposed indices system was applied for identification individual congeners in mixture of Aroclors 1242:1254:1260, using only reference series of PCBs.

Fast,solvent-free synthesis of ferrocene-containing organic cages via dynamic covalent chemistry in the solid state

A simple, solvent-free synthetic protocol towards the synthesis of organic self-assembled macromolecules has been established. By employing mechanochemistry using glassware readily available to every organic chemist, we were able to synthesise three novel organic cage compounds exemplarily and to speed up the synthesis of a ferrocene-containing macrocycle by a factor of 288 compared to the solution-based synthesis. The structural investigation of the newly synthesised cages revealed different modes of connectivity from using ferrocene-containing aldehydes caused by the free rotation of the cyclopentadienyl units against each other. By extending the facile solvent-free synthesis to ball-milling, even compounds that show lower reactivity could be employed in the dynamic covalent formation of organometallic cage compounds. The presented protocol gives access to otherwise inaccessible structures, speeds up general synthetic workflows, and simultaneously reduces the environmental impact of supramolecular syntheses.

Using mechanochemistry and glassware readily available to every organic chemist, a simple, solvent-free synthetic protocol for self-assembled macromolecules containing ferrocenes is presented.     

Reflected BSDEs with regulated trajectories

We consider reflected backward stochastic different equations with optional barrier and so-called regulated trajectories, i.e. trajectories with left and right finite limits. We prove existence and uniqueness results. We also show that the solution corresponds to the value of an optimal stopping problem and may be approximated by a modified penalization method.     

不同光质对嗜热蓝细菌Synechococcus sp. PCC6715生长的影响

使用光合有效光量子数密度(PAR)均为100 μmol/(m²·s)的白光(对照)、红光和蓝光, 对对数生长期的嗜热蓝细菌PCC6715进行培养, 以期探明不同光质对不表达藻红素的蓝细菌光适应生长的影响。结果表明, 在不同光质培养对数生长期PCC6715的过程中, 与白光相比, 干重在蓝光下明显增加, 红光下明显减少; 红、蓝光质对光合色素合成产生影响的开始时间和持续时间有所不同; 最大光能转化效率(F_v/F_m)在蓝光下明显提高, 红光下明显降低, 培养6天后, 红、蓝光条件下的F_v/F_m均趋于稳定。蓝光有利于PCC6715的生长, 红光不利于PCC6715的生长; 同时, PCC6715在红、蓝光质中均产生适应性生长, 藻蓝素的减少使PCC6715在红光中发生适应性生长, 蓝光中PCC6715发生适应性生长是由于藻蓝素的增加。
