Biodegradability and improved mechanical performance of polyhydroxyalkanoates/agave fiber biocomposites compatibilized by different strategies

In this work, biocomposites made of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) with natural fibers were produced via compression molding. In particular, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) were reinforced with 20 wt% of agave fibers. Different compatibilization strategies were investigated to improve the fiber-matrix interaction: fiber surface treatment in PHA solution, fiber surface treatment in maleated PHA solution, fiber propionylation, and extrusion with maleated PHA. The biocomposites were characterized in terms of morphology, mechanical properties, water absorption, and biodegradability by CO₂ production tracking. In general, fiber propionylation was the best strategy for mechanical properties enhancement and water uptake decreasing. Biocomposites with propionylated fibers showed improved flexural strength (170% for PHB and 84% for PHBV). The flexural modulus was also enhanced with propionylated fibers up to 19% and 18% compared to uncompatibilized biocomposites (PHB and PHBV, respectively). Tensile strength increased by 16% (PHB) and 14% (PHBV), and the water absorption was reduced using propionylated fibers going from 6.6% to 4.4% compared with biocomposites with untreated fibers. Most importantly, the impact strength was also improved for all biocomposites by up to 96% compared with the neat PHA matrices. Finally, it was found that the compatibilization did not negatively modify the PHA biodegradability.

Printability,shape-memory,and mechanical properties of PHB/PCL/CNFs composites

Shape-memory polymers have attracted attention as smart implant materials in recent years because they are lightweight, low-cost, easily processable, and because they undergo large deformation. Here, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were used as a reinforcement for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)/polycaprolactone (PCL) composites to improve mechanical properties. The composites were investigated by rheological tests, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, mechanical property tests, and shape-memory tests. The printability of PHB/PCL/CNFs composites was demonstrated by using them to print interconnected porous structures with a gyroid surface. The results showed that the PHB/PCL (80:20) composites with 1 wt% CNF displayed the best comprehensive mechanical and shape-memory properties. As a functional verification, a model of the self-opening hand was fabricated by 3D printing, and its deformation and recovery capabilities were evaluated.     

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Scaffolds as a Model for Nerve Tissue Engineering Application: Fabrication and In Vitro Assay

In this study, we fabricated PHB scaffolds by solid/liquid phase separation method. The properties of fabricated scaffolds were investigated using SEM, DMTA, and DSC. Our studies noticed that for an approach to scaffolds that contain tubular morphology and better mechanical properties, the solution should be frozen near crystallization temperature. For in vitro evaluation, the P19 mouse embryonal cell line was used as a model system. Results notice that cells attach and differentiate to the nerve cell. In vitro assay shows that it is a suitable model for use as a platform for neural tissue engineering applications.     

Homoserine Lactones,Methyl Oligohydroxybutyrates,and Other Extracellular Metabolites of Macroalgae‐Associated Bacteria of the Roseobacter Clade: Identification and Functions

Twenty‐four strains of marine Roseobacter clade bacteria were isolated from macroalgae and investigated for the production of quorum‐sensing autoinducers, N‐acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs). GC/MS analysis of the extracellular metabolites allowed us to evaluate the release of other small molecules as well. Nineteen strains produced AHLs, ranging from 3‐OH‐C10:0‐HSL (homoserine lactone) to (2E,11Z)‐C18:2‐HSL, but no specific phylogenetic or ecological pattern of individual AHL occurrence was observed when cluster analysis was performed. Other identified compounds included indole, tropone, methyl esters of oligomers of 3‐hydroxybutyric acid, and various amides, such as N‐9‐hexadecenoylalanine methyl ester (9‐C16:1‐NAME), a structural analogue of AHLs. Several compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antialgal activity on marine isolates likely to occur in the habitat of the macroalgae. Both AHLs and 9‐C16:1‐NAME showed high antialgal activity against Skeletonema costatum, whereas their antibacterial activity was low.     

Solvent effect in phase separation for fabrication of micropatterned porous scaffold sheets

Cellular orientation control is important for tissue regeneration. Design of oriented structures for cells with suitable features can be used in tissue engineering. One of the methods of cellular orientation with the aim of regenerating which damaged tissues is utilizing oriented biocompatible substrates. This paper reports a one-step method with different solvents to fabricate porous micropatterned polyhydroxybutyrate scaffold sheets. The results indicated that the porosity and pore morphology of the scaffolds are viable with respect to proliferation rate, and a micropattern for cell alignment. Stem cells culturing proved that the scaffold sheets are suitable for cell culturing. Preliminary experiments indicate that the 2-D scaffold sheets are very promising as basis for building 3-D scaffolds.     

容积负荷变化模式对嗜盐混合菌发酵乙酸合成PHB的影响

以嗜盐混合菌发酵生产PHB具有免灭菌程序、易提取、产量高等优势而被广泛关注。本研究集中考察了嗜盐混合菌(MMCs)发酵生产PHB过程中调整容积负荷的方式对PHB生产的影响。在研究中通过比较恒定接种生物量改变底物浓度以及恒定底物浓度调整接种生物量两种调整方式下PHB发酵生产的最大细胞含量、PHB最大容积产率以及表观动力学,确定了MMCs的最佳OLR,以及两种变化方式的本质差异。研究结果表明,两种方式下随着OLR升高,细胞内最大PHB的积累量和PHB容积产率也随着增加。本研究发展的嗜盐MMCs最佳OLR 0.91 kg·(kg·d)^-1。在相同的OLR下,高的接种生物量始终具有高的碳源转化率和底物消耗速率。为此,采用高接种生物量发酵生产PHB可以提高PHB生产效率并降低PHB的成本。

研究了一株源自江西德兴铜矿矿区的中温嗜酸兼性异养菌Acidiphilium sp.DX1-1的分离、鉴定、特征及其浸矿行为。菌株Acidiphilium sp.DX1-1为短杆状革兰氏阴性菌,最适合的生长温度为30℃,最适合的生长pH约为3.5。该菌株具有广泛的底物利用特性,可以利用有机物进行异养生长并在细胞内积累聚羟基丁酸酯,也可以利用单质硫、三价铁等无机物进行自养生长。系统发育分析表明DX1-1属于Acidiphilium属,与Acidiphilium cryptum and Acidiphilium multivorum的同源性大于99%。在铁闪锌矿生物浸出过程中,Acidiphilium sp.DX1-1表现出极强的浸矿能力,其作用不仅仅是之前报道的作为其他自养嗜酸浸矿细菌的辅助者。在初始pH3.5时,DX1-1能够在一个月内单独地浸出铁闪锌矿中40%的锌。该浸出率高于它与A.ferrooxidans混合以及A.ferrooxidans单独浸出铁闪锌矿(初始pH均为2.0)的浸出率。
