The gene encoding a 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA transferase has been isolated from bacteria and integrated into the genome of bacteria also expressing a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase, to yield an improved production process for 4HB-containing polyhydroxyalkanoates using transgenic organisms, including both bacteria and plants. The new pathways provide means for producing 4HB containing PHAs from cheap carbon sources such as sugars and fatty acids, in high yields, which are stable. Useful strains are obtaining by screening strains having integrated into their genomes a gene encoding a 4HB-CoA transferase and / or PHA synthase, for polymer production. Processes for polymer production use recombinant systems that can utilize cheap substrates. Systems are provided which can utilize amino acid degradation pathways, α-ketoglutarate, or succinate as substrate.

Electrocatalyst durability has been recently recognized as one of the most important issues that have to be addressed before the commercialization of the proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The present invention is directed to a new class of cathode catalysts based on supportless platinum nanotubes (PtNTs) and platinum alloy nanotubes, for example, platinum-palladium nanotubes (PtPdNTs), that have remarkable durability and high catalytic activity. Due to their unique combination of dimensions at multiple length scales, the platinum nanotubes of the present invention can provide high platinum surface area due to their nanometer-sized wall thickness, and have the potential to eliminate or alleviate most of the degradation pathways of the commercial carbon supported platinum catalyst (Pt / C) and unsupported platinum-black (PtB) as a result of their micrometer-sized length. The platinum nanotube catalysts of the present invention asymptotically approach a maximum of about twenty percent platinum surface area loss in durability test, while the commercial PtB and Pt / C catalysts lose about fifty-one percent and ninety percent of their initial surface area, respectively. Moreover, the PtNT and PtPdNT catalysts of the present invention show higher mass activity and much higher specific activity than commercial Pt / C and PtB catalysts.

The present invention is directed to the control of noisome odors created by the decomposition of human waste in a personal hygiene product. Control of the decomposition process is by the pre-application of an odor control compound comprising a hydroxydiphenyl ether in a modified acidic environment to one or more components of the personal hygiene product. The odor control compound exhibits a multi-functional performance, affecting not only the odiferous decomposition byproducts, but the biochemical decomposition and degradation pathways.

Disclosed is a biochemical comprehensive treatment method for 1, 3-propylene glycol fermentation organism waste water. The biochemical comprehensive treatment method includes concentration of fermentation organism, ATAD, UASB, alternating A / O and chemical coagulation; culturing and domesticating thermophilic bacteria inside an ATAD reactor first, then culturing and domesticating anaerobic activated sludge inside a UASB reactor, and finally culturing and domesticating aerobic activated sludge inside an alternating A / O pool. During a formal experiment, waste water is treated by the ATAD first so as to improve biochemical property of waste liquor and enable viral fermentation organism to be converted into substances with biochemical energy, ATAD effluent is treated by the UASB so as to further lower down concentration of organism, methane produced in the process is recycled, and final UASB effluent can achieve the B standard of first-class emission standards of national standard GB18918-2002 after treated by the alternating A / O technique and the chemical coagulation, thereby realizing safe emission and providing a novel degradation pathway for the 1, 3-propylene glycol fermentation organism waste water.
