Multi-omics integrative analysis with genome-scale metabolic model simulation reveals global cellular adaptation of Aspergillus niger under industrial enzyme production condition

Oxygen limitation is regarded as a useful strategy to improve enzyme production by mycelial fungus like Aspergillus niger. However, the intracellular metabolic response of A. niger to oxygen limitation is still obscure. To address this, the metabolism of A. niger was studied using multi-omics integrated analysis based on the latest GEMs ...

Mimicking an Atomically Thin "Vacuum Spacer" to Measure the Hamaker Constant between Graphene Oxide and Silica

The Hamaker constant between graphene oxide and silica, which quantifies the strength of van der Waals forces is determined, by mimicking a “vacuum spacer” in an atomic force microscopyforce study. It is demonstrated that, a 2D spacer is expected to yield an accurately defined separation, owing to the high atom density and strength in planar...
