Squirrel-Beijing-I # The use of synthetic biology to enhance microbial adsorption for decolorizating printing and dyeing wastewater # Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, the output of waste paper industry and printing and dyeing industry continues to increase, posing an extremely serious threat to the global environment. Factories mostly use a combination of physicochemical and biochemical treatment processes, but in order to ensure that the wastewater meets the standard, printing and dyeing wastewater has weak biodegradability, many of which are difficult to remove organic pollutants, and the technology is relatively limited, and the cost is high.

Squirrel-CHN # Customized E. coli helps develop special meals for PKU patients # Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare and serious metabolic disease in which patients are unable to consume common foods such as milk, meat, eggs and breast milk from birth, otherwise it will lead to intellectual disability and even death. This has led them to be praised as “angels who do not enjoy worldly pleasures” and need to follow strict dietary restrictions throughout their lives.

Squirrel-CHN-II # SymbioSerotonin: Cultivating Happiness from Within # 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), also known as serotonin, is a key neurotransmitter in mood regulation, sleep, and various physiological processes. Imbalances in serotonin levels, especially deficiencies, are associated with depression’s pathogenesis, causing persistent sadness and loss of pleasure. Antidepressant medications targeting serotonin have been proven effective, enhancing patients’ emotional and mental well-being with fewer side effects than alternatives. Therefore, our project aims to synthetically produce serotonin for depression treatment.

SubCat-China # Construction of autocrine amylase and glucoamylase Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell factory # At present, fermented alcohol is mostly made from corn, which is hydrolyzed into glucose by α-amylase and glucoamylase for fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Among them, α-amylase and glucoamylase need to be added exogenously. It is estimated that the cost of an enzyme for producing per ton of alcohol is 100 yuan. If Saccharomyces cerevisiae can autocrine α-amylase and glucoamylase, it will reduce the addition of exogenous enzymes and save the cost of enzymes.

SubCat-GD # Restoring the Balance: Engineering Omega-3 Production for Optimal Health # Based on our comprehensive survey, it has come to light that a significant majority of individuals, approximately 90%, exhibit an imbalance in the levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega-6 and Omega-3. And Omega-3 fatty acids possess remarkable properties such as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, rendering them vital for maintaining optimal human health.
我々の包括的な調査に基づいて、個々の人々の大多数、約90%が、オメガ6とオメガ3という多価不飽和脂肪酸のレベルに不均衡が見られることが明らかになりました。また、オメガ3脂肪酸は、抗炎症作用や抗がん効果などの注目すべき特性を持ち、人間の最適な健康状態を維持するために必要不可欠なものであるとされています。

SubCat-HongKong # The Recombinant Yeast that Can Decrease the Biogenic Amine # Drinking is a recreational activity for people. But traditional liquor has an indelible problem: it has lots of biogenic amine. Biogenic amines are substances that include nitrogen. Biogenic amines can make people get headaches and stomachaches and also nervous. The available technology can decrease the concentration of biogenic amines but will influence the flavor. So, our topic is how we can build a recombinant yeast that allows the engagement of biogenic amine to decline and not affect the taste.

SubCat-Peking # Novel blue light-dependent “Switch” # Optogenetics was achieved for the biosynthetic process’s control and extended to cancer treatment development. CRY2/CIB1 interactions are the most common blue light-dependent interaction. In this experiment, we aim to improve this method and hopefully, it will contribute to improving cancer treatment. We construct a new interaction by attaching protein GFP on preexisting interactions called CRY2/SPA1 using the construction of recombinant plasmid and yeast mating.
