Data for MALDI-MS Screening of Microbial Colonies With Isomer Resolution to Select Fatty Acid Desaturase Variants

Creating controlled lipid unsaturation locations in oleochemicals can be a key to many bioengineered products. However, evaluating the effects of modifications to the acyl-ACP desaturase on lipid unsaturation is not currently amenable to high-throughput assays, limiting the scale of redesign efforts to <200 variants. Here, we report a rapid mass spectrometry (MS) assay for profiling the positions of double bonds on membrane lipids produced by Escherichia coli colonies after treatment with ozone gas. By MS measurement of the ozonolysis products of Δ6 and Δ8 isomers of membrane lipids from colonies expressing recombinant Thunbergia alata desaturase, we screened a randomly mutagenized library of the desaturase gene at 5 s per sample. Two variants with altered regiospecificity were isolated, indicated by an increase in 16:1 Δ8 proportion. We also demonstrated the ability of these desaturase variants to influence the membrane composition and fatty acid distribution of E. coli strains deficient in the native acyl-ACP desaturase gene, fabA. Finally, we used the fabA deficient chassis to concomitantly express a non-native acyl-ACP desaturase and a medium-chain thioesterase from Umbellularia californica, demonstrating production of only saturated free fatty acids.

Advanced polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) of SiOC-based ceramic matrix composites (CMCs)

Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are valued for their high-temperature properties, making them ideal for harsh environments. However, conventional polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (C-PIP) often result in porous composites and require numerous cycles for densification. This study introduces the advanced PIP (A-PIP) method using a crosslinked polycarbosiloxane (PCS) precursor to enhance densification efficiency. Five SiC CMCs were fabricated using C-PIP and A-PIP, with variations in fiber reinforcement and fiber coatings. A-PIP achieved up to 19 % higher density and 78 % lower porosity in 79–86 % less processing time compared to C-PIP. Moreover, SiC-SiOC composites with boron nitride-coated fibers showed significant improvements in tensile strength (11 MPa to 134 MPa) and strain at maximum strength (0.01–0.11 %), underscoring the role of weak fiber-matrix interfaces. In conclusion, these results demonstrate A-PIP's potential to produce dense, low-porosity SiC CMCs more efficiently, significantly reducing manufacturing time and costs.

Strong tough hydrogels via the synergy of freeze-casting and salting out

Natural load-bearing materials like tendons possess high water content of ~70% but14 are still strong and tough even when used for over 1 million cycles per year, which is owed to the hierarchical assembly of anisotropic structures across multi-length-scales . In imitation of natural systems, various hydrogels have been created via methods like electro-spinning, extrusion, compositing, freeze casting, self-assembly, and mechanical stretching for improved mechanical performance. However, in contrast to tendons, many hydrogels with the same high water content do not show high strength, large toughness or high fatigue resistance. In this work, we present a strategy to produce strong, tough and fatigue resistant hydrogels with multi-length-scale hierarchical architecture using a freezing-assisted salting-out treatment. The produced exemplary poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels are highly anisotropic, comprising micrometer-scale honeycomb-like pore walls, which in turn comprise interconnected nanofibrils meshes, entirely physically assembled from polymer chains. These hydrogels are made of 70-95% water but can exhibit ultra-high ultimate stress (23.5 ± 2.7 MPa) and strain (2900 ± 450%), giant 32226 toughness (210 ± 13 MJ/m , 175 ± 8 kJ/m) and remarkable fatigue threshold (10.5 ± 1.3 kJ/m), which are 10 times tougher than natural tendon. The presented strategy could expand the applicability of weak polymeric material, like hydrogels, in practical applications that requires long-term services with high-loads and abrupt-impacts and extend the development of structural hydrogels.

ZnO-Au Hybrid Metamaterial Thin Films with Tunable Optical Properties

ZnO-Au nanocomposite thin films have been previously reported as hybrid metamaterials with unique optical properties such as plasmonic resonance properties and hyperbolic behaviors. In this study, Au composition in the ZnO-Au nanocomposites has been effectively tuned by target composition variation and thus resulted in microstructure and optical property tuning. Specifically, all the ZnO-Au nanocomposite thin films grown through the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method show obvious vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) structure with the Au nanopillars embedded in the ZnO matrix. Moreover, the average diameter of Au nanopillars increases as Au concentration increases, which also leads to the redshifts in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wavelength and changes in the hyperbolic behaviors of the films. As a whole, this work discusses how strain-driven tuning of optical properties and microstructure resulted through a novel Au concentration variation approach which has not been previously attempted in the ZnO-Au thin film system. These highly ordered films present great promise in the areas of sensing, waveguides, and nanophotonics to name a few.

Anisotropic spall failure of additively manufactured 316L stainless steel

The dynamic high strain rate tensile (spall) failure of additively manufactured (AM) materials is an area of great interest but much less understood than material failure under other loading regimes. The research presented here examines the effects of microstructure anisotropy in 316L stainless steel fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) on its spall failure and properties. In this work, plate-on-plate impact experiments were performed using an 80-mm gas gun to investigate the spall behavior of AM fabricated sample discs with impact along the perpendicular and parallel orientations relative to build directions. Experiments were also performed on wrought 316L stainless steel as baseline material with uniform equiaxed grain microstructure for comparison with the AM material of same composition. The spall experiments involved free-surface velocity profiles measured using Photon Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) to capture the spall pull-back signals, combined with post-mortem analysis of the microstructure of soft-recovered impacted samples. In the case of AM samples, spall failure initiated preferentially at melt pool boundaries in both impact directions. The spall plane location and spall strength, however, were both heavily influenced by the orientation of the impact direction relative to the build direction in the AM samples. The spall behavior is also observed to be more complex in the samples impacted perpendicular to the build (through-thickness) direction, due in large part to the orientation of the microstructural features such as melt pool boundaries, laser scan tracks, and general grain morphology.

Pretreatment of Algae for the Production of Fuels and Chemical Coproducts

Algal biomass is a promising resource for producing renewable fuels and chemicals, but despite decades of research, algal biorefining remains in a pre-commercial state. Recent economic analyses have indicated that high-value co-products are necessary to offset the cost of fuel production, implying the need for algae fractionation technology. One promising fractionation approach is Combined Algal Processing (CAP), which pretreats and extracts algal biomass to produce a fermentable aqueous hydrolysate, an organic lipid fraction, and a residual solids fraction. The CAP approach has historically employed a dilute acid pretreatment to lyse cells and solubilize algal carbohydrates for fermentation of the hydrolysate phase, but we recently identified alternative pretreatments with the potential to decrease costs and environmental impacts, including different implementations of dilute acid pretreatment, dilute alkali pretreatment, enzymatic pretreatment, and flash hydrolysis. We conducted a screening of six different pretreatment approaches across nine algae strains of varying composition, and measured pretreatment effectiveness as a combination of carbon and nitrogen solubilization, lipid extraction yield, and lipid speciation. In this screening, we found traditional dilute acid pretreatment to provide the most robust pretreatment performance, though other pretreatments were competitive, and some performed better for certain strains of algae. These results highlight the interplay between algae composition and pretreatment effectiveness.

Dual heterogeneous structures lead to ultrahigh strength and uniform ductility in a Co-Cr-Ni medium-entropy alloy

Alloys with ultra-high strength and sufficient ductility are highly desired for modern engineering applications but difficult to develop. Here we report that, by a careful controlling alloy composition, thermomechanical process, and microstructural feature, a Co-Cr-Ni-based medium-entropy alloy (MEA) with a dual heterogeneous structure of both matrix and precipitates can be designed to provide an ultra-high tensile strength of 2.2 GPa and uniform elongation of 13% at ambient temperature, properties that are much improved over their counterparts without the heterogeneous structure. Electron microscopy characterizations reveal that the dual heterogeneous structures are composed of a heterogeneous matrix with both coarse grains (10~30 μm) and ultra-fine grains (0.5~2 μm), together with heterogeneous L1 2 -structured nanoprecipitates ranging from several to hundreds of nanometers. The heterogeneous L1 2 nanoprecipitates are fully coherent with the matrix, minimizing the elastic misfit strain of interfaces, relieving the stress concentration during deformation, and playing an active role in enhanced ductility.

Molecular and structural characterization of a Bacillus cereus strain producing an anthrax-like capsule

Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous Gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped saprophytic bacterium, occasionally reported to cause food-borne illnesses. However, instances of B. cereus strains harboring anthrax toxin and capsule genes have elevated certain strains as formidable pathogens and biothreats. This study focuses on the genomic analysis and the structural characterization of capsular material produced by the virulent B. cereus PATH2418 strain, isolated from the wound of a traumatic open fracture patient. The genome was sequenced using Nanopore MinION sequencing, revealing a chromosome of 5,270,283 bp and three plasmids. One plasmid, pATH1, was found to encode an operon for the biosynthesis of a bacterial capsule. This operon had sequence homology to the Bacillus anthracis capBCADE operon, which encodes the poly-γ-D-glutamate (PDGA) capsule. The capsule production in B. cereus PATH2418 was influenced by temperature and CO 2 levels. Structural analysis of the capsular material using a combined approach of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques confirmed the presence of a high-molecular-weight poly-γ-glutamate capsule, with an enantiomeric composition of approximately 67% D-glutamic acid and 33% L-glutamic acid, matching that of B. anthracis.

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion Evolution during Ratchet Growth of PBX 9502 and Neat TATB

The Plastic-Bonded Explosive (PBX) 9502 is comprised of the insensitive high explosive TATB (triamino trinitrobenzine) crystals coated in FK-800 polymer binder and isostatically pressed. The TATB crystals have a graphitic, plate-like morphology and possess significant thermal and mechanical anisotropy. Compactions of neat TATB or TATB-based composites (like PBX 9502) have been shown to have TATB crystals that are oriented during the pressing process giving rise to TATB texture and resulting in micro- and macro-scale anisotropy of the compaction. Thermal cycling of the compactions results in irreversible volume expansion (or ratchet growth) likely by creating stress points on the microscale. However, the actual mechanism behind this expansion is not fully understood. Previous characterization of the ratchet growth phenomenon has focused on the magnitude of the irreversible strain as measured before and after a thermal cycle. In the work presented here, we analyze the evolving thermal expansion behavior during the ascending and descending temperature ramps and compare differences observed due to the presence/absence of binder in the compaction.

High‐Pressure and High‐Temperature Single‐Crystal Elasticity of Cr‐Pyrope: Implications for the Density and Seismic Velocity of Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle

Abstract Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and Brillouin spectroscopy experiments were performed on a natural Cr‐pyrope (Prp 71.0 Alm 12.6 Sps 0.7 Grs 3.5 Uvr 12.2 ) at high pressure and high temperature up to 11.0 GPa and 800 K. Fitting the collected data to the third‐order finite strain equation yields bulk modulus ( K S 0 ), shear modulus ( G 0 ), their pressure ((∂ K S /∂ P ) T and (∂ G /∂ P ) T ) and temperature (( ∂K S /∂T ) P and ( ∂G/∂T ) P ) derivatives, K S 0 = 167.7(8) GPa, G 0 = 91.5(5) GPa, (∂ K S /∂ P ) T = 4.3(1), (∂ G /∂ P ) T = 1.4(1), ( ∂K S /∂T ) P = − 0.0175(1) GPa/K and ( ∂G/∂T ) P = − 0.0073(1) GPa/K. Using the obtained results, we examined whether the elastic properties of the Cr‐pyrope can be accurately calculated from those of endmembers including pyrope, almandine, grossular, and uvarovite assuming a linear relationship between elastic properties and composition (end‐member model). The results indicate that the end‐member model provides a sufficient approximation for the elastic properties of Cr‐pyrope in calculating the density and velocity of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). We modeled the densities and velocities of three typical types of SCLM (Archon, Proton, and Tecton) in order to investigate how the variation of chemical composition influences the SCLM. We obtained that the compositional change from the Archon to the Tecton increases the density of the SCLM significantly, which can be an important prerequisite for SCLM delamination. However, the compositional variation only slightly changes the velocity of the SCLM and the change is within the uncertainty of the calculation. Moreover, in comparison to the velocity, ρ / V P and ρ / V S are much more sensitive to the compositional change of the SCLM.

Exploring strain rate effects upon 3D materials using high speed in situ X-ray tomoscopy

Cellular materials are ubiquitous in our modern society. They may be stochastic gas-blown foams (e.g., polyurethane), foamed starches (e.g., cereals), or, in this case, 3D printed microlattices. Failure in these materials is often driven by surface or sub-surface defects, which may be nucleated at a surface roughness, an interior void, or inclusion interfaces that may not be typically observable. Obfuscating our understanding further, bulk materials are known to exhibit strain-rate-dependent mechanical response, making a subsurface understanding of damage even more critical. For the first time, an in situ uniaxial mechanical loading stage that simultaneously rotates specimens up to 18 Hz was fielded at a synchrotron for 3D tomographic imaging. This capability opens a plethora of materials science opportunities to explore strain rate effects in materials and examining deformation, fracture, and delamination’s (in composites) for a complete 3D picture (movie) of material response. We demonstrate the deformation of 3D printed polymer lattice structures, of three different material types, at 0.25, 1.1, and 2.2 s −1 strain rates. We successfully imaged the 3D deformation of these materials and can directly compare the same printed structure to the three material types at three strain rates, all in 3D. Material point method simulations were applied to one of the materials to better understand the role of voids on the 3D printed structure’s performance.

Co-Based superalloy morphology evolution: A phase field study based on experimental thermodynamic and kinetic data

Cobalt-based superalloys with two phase $\gamma$/$\gamma '$ microstructures offer great promise as candidates for next-generation high-temperature alloys for applications, such as turbine blades. It is essential to understand the thermodynamic and kinetic factors that influence the microstructural evolution of these alloys in order to optimize the alloy compositions and processing steps with a goal to improve their coarsening, creep and rafting behavior. We are using a continuum phase field approach to study the diffusion process and to predict the equilibrium shapes of Co-Al-W $\gamma '$ precipitates. In order to obtain quantitatively predictive capabilities, we extract chemical free energies for the $\gamma$/$\gamma '$ phases based on CALculation of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD) thermodynamic data and diffusion mobilities for Co alloys based on CALPHAD kinetic data. We also use experimental or first-principles data for other quantities, such as misfit strain and interface information, for the parameterization of our model. A particular focus of our study is to understand how different energy balances, misfit strain and kinetics affect the coarsening and rafting behavior of $\gamma '$ precipitates, and the sensitivity of the final precipitate shape to materials parameters. Here, we find that the equilibrium shape of the precipitate results from a delicate competition between chemical, interfacial, and elastic energies, and it is very sensitive to changes in model parameters. Here, we examine how modeling input parameters affect the equilibrium shape of precipitates and relate these parameters to experimentally available values.

CreA-mediated repression of gene expression occurs at low monosaccharide levels during fungal plant biomass conversion in a time and substrate dependent manner

Carbon catabolite repression enables fungi to utilize the most favourable carbon source in the environment, and is mediated by a key regulator, CreA, in most fungi. CreA-mediated regulation has mainly been studied at high monosaccharide concentrations, an uncommon situation in most natural biotopes. In nature, many fungi rely on plant biomass as their major carbon source by producing enzymes to degrade plant cell wall polysaccharides into metabolizable sugars. To determine the role of CreA when fungi grow in more natural conditions and in particular with respect to degradation and conversion of plant cell walls, we compared transcriptomes of a creA deletion and reference strain of the ascomycete Aspergillus niger during growth on sugar beet pulp and wheat bran. Transcriptomics, extracellular sugar concentrations and growth profiling of A. niger on a variety of carbon sources, revealed that also under conditions with low concentrations of free monosaccharides, CreA has a major effect on gene expression in a strong time and substrate composition dependent manner. In addition, we compared the CreA regulon from five fungi during their growth on crude plant biomass or cellulose. It showed that CreA commonly regulated genes related to carbon metabolism, sugar transport and plant cell wall degrading enzymes across different species. We therefore conclude that CreA has a crucial role for fungi also in adapting to low sugar concentrations as occurring in their natural biotopes, which is supported by the presence of CreA orthologs in nearly all fungi.

Beyond Strain: Controlling the Surface Chemistry of CsPbI 3 Nanocrystal Films for Improved Stability against Ambient Reactive Oxygen Species

Colloidal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have the possibility of easy scale-up due to their batch synthesis and have demonstrated excellent optoelectronic properties. In particular, perovskite NCs have remarkably high photoluminescence quantum yields in solution and as thin films and impressive open circuit voltages in photovoltaic devices. Despite these promising results, little work has been done to understand the stability of CsPbI 3 NCs for optoelectronic device applications. It has been previously shown that the ligands impart tensile surface strain, which stabilizes the black three-dimensional (3D) perovskite phase against phase degradation, making CsPbI 3 NCs some of the most structurally robust inorganic halide perovskites to date. However, understanding exactly how CsPbI 3 NCs degrade under ambient conditions is critical. Additionally, we demonstrate that the degradation mechanism of NCs is unique from, and 2 orders of magnitude slower than, their polycrystalline thin-film counterparts. Under specific conditions, CsPbI 3 NC films show a compositional instability instead of the phase instability seen in large grain CsPbI 3 . This is mediated through reactions with superoxide and other reactive oxygen species, which are initiated from surface defect states, O 2 and light. We then use this mechanistic insight to identify multiple strategies to prolong the lifetimes of CsPbI 3 NC films, by going beyond surface strain to mitigate key surface chemistries. We demonstrate that (1) minimizing the number of surface defects (2) using an alkylammonium bromide ligand surface treatment and (3) encapsulation with an oxygen scavenging layer all increase NC film lifetimes by inhibiting various steps in the photo-oxidation degradation reaction.

Emergent topological polarization textures in relaxor ferroelectrics

Relaxor ferroelectrics underpin high-performance actuators and sensors, yet the nature of polar heterogeneities driving their broadband dielectric response remains debated. Using a unified, multimodal structural refinement framework— simultaneously fitting complementary X-ray and neutron total scattering, X-ray absorption spectra, and diffuse scattering—we reconstruct 3D mesoscale polarization maps in the classic relaxor system PbMg 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 –PbTiO 3 . We uncover self-organized swirling polarization textures with half-skyrmion (meron) vortices, challenging models of independent polar nanoregions. These textures, characterized by smooth changes in the polarization direction, originate from overlapping volumes in which the projections of locally correlated polarization vectors onto each volume’s long axis share the same sign. Vortex cores correlate strongly with local charge and strain gradients imposed by compositional heterogeneities. In this work, our results suggest that chemical disorder, acting via depolarizing and strain fields, stabilizes topological vortex textures of the polarization field, offering a route for engineering new dielectric and ferroelectric functionalities.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Adhesion and Biofilm Formation on Poly(l-lysine)-Tethered Hydrogels: Synergistic Effect of Substrate Stiffness and Positive Charge Density

Infections associated with antibacterial-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) are the major cause of morbidity and mortality of patients, presenting one of the greatest therapeutic challenges for treatment of community-acquired and nosocomial infections. To develop antimicrobial hydrogel coatings to control the adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa, we have used photo-cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogels with varied cross-linking densities and covalently grafted poly(l-lysine) (PLL) at different weight compositions (ϕ PLL ). Both surface stiffness and positive charge density of the hydrogels were efficiently tuned over a broad range to investigate their effects on two main strains of P. aeruginosa, PA01 and PA14. We found that both number and viability of attached cells were positively correlated with the hydrogel stiffness, leading to thicker and larger coverage of cell colonies at 72 h postseeding on the stiffer substrates. The dependence of both PA01 and PA14 strains on ϕ PLL , however, was nonmonotonic. Positive charges from dissociated amine groups in the grafted PLL chains significantly promoted initial adhesion and proliferation of both strains at low ϕ PLL and developed into the thickest biofilms on the stiffest hydrogels grafted with ϕ PLL of 1–2%. Nevertheless, on the softest hydrogels grafted with PLL at high ϕ PLL of 7–10%, the bacteria no longer attached or survived. These results not only improved our fundamental understanding of bacteria-material interactions but also provided a series of PLL-grafted PEGDA hydrogels with controlled stiffness and positive charge density as ideal surface coating materials to prevent bacterial infections.

Creep in multi-principal element materials –– A review

The ongoing push towards enhanced energy efficiency and reduced emissions has necessitated the creation of materials with superior performance, especially under extreme conditions. Modern industries, such as aerospace, energy production, and nuclear power, rely heavily on materials that can withstand elevated temperatures without compromising structural integrity. At these heightened temperatures, materials, even when subjected to mechanical stresses well below their yield strength, may experience slow deformation leading to eventual rupture — a phenomenon known as creep. With the expansive design space that comes with the high entropy concept and their reported excellent high temperature strength, multi-principal element materials (MPEMs) have attracted interest in the scientific community for high-temperature applications. Here, this review offers a comprehensive examination of existing studies on creep in MPEMs, which includes multi-principal element−alloys, −bulk metallic glasses, −ceramics, and −superalloys, comparing published findings on MPEMs with pure elements, traditional alloys, bulk metallic glasses, and superalloys. The sub-topics covered include a comparison among different creep-testing methods, creep mechanisms, creep exponents, creep strain rates, activation volume, and creep-activation energy. Modeling efforts for predicting creep behavior of MPEMs are also reviewed. Methods for improving creep resistance by performing heat treatments and/or modifying microstructures are discussed. Overall, the current state of MPEMs has not yet surpassed the creep performance of commercial alloys. Finally, directions for future efforts are suggested, such as experimenting in various controlled environments, expanding the number of compositions tested, exploring advanced manufacturing techniques, and using machine-learning to predict creep properties based on compositions and microstructures.
