The production of 2, 3-butanediol and succinic acid by a moderate halophile under anaerobic condition was investigated. This halophile, termed Salinivibrio YS, was isolated from the solid samples collected from Aydingkol Lake. Based on the single factor experiment, the parameters and their values for the production were obtained. Then, the optimum values of these parameters by the orthogonal experiments were obtained: temperature, 33 degrees C; initial pH of fermentation, 8.0; the pH during fermentation, 7.0; the concentration of acetic acid was 3 g/L and NaC1 was 10 g/L. Finally, a 3-L fermentation based on these conditions was carried out. After 108 h of fermentation under anaerobic condition, 35.05 g/L of 2, 3-butanediol and 22.46 g/L of succinic acid were obtained. About 50% of total glucose conversion was achieved. The study on 2, 3-butanediol and succinic acid by a halophile under anaerobic condition will expand the applications of halophiles and open a new area of production of 2, 3-butanediol and succinic acid.

Objective:To investigate the measurement of small airways by high-resolution CT and image post-processing software. Screen and analyze the reconstructed airway parameters in order to find the best imaging biomarker parameters of small airway changes and calculate the reference value range; meanwhile, explore its influencing factors.Methods:From a water plant and a medical school, 169 cases of the general population aged 20 to 60 were selected as research objects, and questionnaire surveys and CT tests were performed, and CT data were reconstructed with image post-processing software. The reference value range of the general population was evaluated, and a linear mixed effect model was used to adjust the age, gender, height, BMI, and smoking status, and analyze the influencing factors of airway parameters.Results:The ratio of sixth-grade tracheal wall area to total tracheal area in the Left B1+2 to carina was (53.01±13.35) %, Left B9 to carina was (50.44±12.98) %, Right B1 to carina was (52.73±12.22) %, and Right B9 to carina was (52.93±11.85) %. The ratio of nineth-grade tracheal wall area to total tracheal area in the Left B1+2 to carina was (44.08±14.66) %, Left B9 to carina was (42.44±15.89) %, Right B1 to carina was (46.51±14.03) %, and Right B9 to carina is (43.54±15.87) %. BMI affect the area of the tracheal wall, all p value<0.05.Conclusion:High-resolution CT small airway morphology can make a preliminary assessment of the susceptible population of small airway-related diseases based on a range of reference values, and prevent and control it in combination with influencing factors.
