製備藻類衍生物碳點與 Mxene複合材料並應用高效超級電容
本研究運用綠藻、螺旋藻、卡拉膠(k,i,λ)進行製備碳點並應用高效超級電容。本實驗已完成綠藻、螺旋藻、卡拉膠( k,i,λ)在不同的pH值中的溶解度測試,並找出綠藻、螺旋藻、卡拉膠(k,i,λ)各自適合溶解的溫度及溶液。此外,中途也已透過文獻中的實驗證實我們實驗中所運用的電化學實驗設計及裝置可以成功製備出碳點。而在電化學製備碳點的部分目前完成單獨藻類、藻類加histidne的電擊實驗以及測其吸收光譜,也運用先前製備出較穩定的碳點加入MXene進行電化學分析,透過碳點擴大MXene分層,以達到增加MXene電化學效能的效果。最後,預計之後將進行更多的電化學分析,進一步地確認碳點結合MXene能在超級電容的應用。
橡實代謝物與飛鼠小腸內生菌共發酵產物之應用
This study primarily investigates the components of food residues in the stomach of flying squirrels and the metabolism of the intestinal bacteria Floricoccus tropicus. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) hydrogen spectrum analysis, the signals of long-chain fatty acids were detected in both n-hexane and 75% ethanol extracts of flying squirrel gastric residues and acorns, suggesting that acorns may be a primary food source for the flying squirrels. The study also identified Floricoccus tropicus, one of the lactic acid bacteria, from the intestines of flying squirrels and discovered its role in the metabolism of fatty acids in acorns. Results showed that polyunsaturated fatty acids significantly decreased during fermentation, indicating that they were converted into short-chain fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties. In the antibacterial activity experiments, the acorn grease showed no inhibitory effects before fermentation, but after fermentation, the acorn grease exhibited inhibitory effects against E. coli. Furthermore, in anti-inflammatory tests, fermented acorn grease samples significantly suppressed the production of NO and TNF-α in LPSinduced RAW 264.7 cells, with greater inhibition at higher concentrations. In conclusion, the lactic acid bacteria Floricoccus tropicus was found to metabolize fatty acids of acorns into compounds with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
