Aquatic insects are well-adapted to freshwater environments, but metabolic mechanisms of such adaptations, particularly to primary environmental factors (e.g., hypoxia, water pressure, dark light and abundant microbes), are poorly known. Most firefly species (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) are terrestri...
Bee pollen is consumed for its nutritional and pharmacological benefits, but it also contains hazardous allergens which has not been identified. Here, we identified 2 potential allergens, glutaredoxin and oleosin-B2, in Brassica napus (B. napus) bee pollen using mass spectrometr...
BACKGROUND: Converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals using engineered cyanobacteria is a promising strategy to tackle the global warming and energy shortage issues. However, most cyanobacteria are autotrophic and use CO2 as a sole carbon source, which makes it h...
