XJTLU-CHINA # Claritein # XJTLU-CHINA design two types of biosorbents applied in the adsorption of heavy and noble metal ions. They make a biological pathway that is composed of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), SmtA, carbohydrate-binding module (CBM), and superfolder GFP (sfGFP) to produce the biosorbent absorbing heavy metal ions. For recycling precious metals, they combine curli fiber and AG4 into a fusion protein. Thus, silver ions are recovered by utilizing the adsorption force of AG4 on silver ions. ...
