At the invitation of our institute (Key Laboratory), Prof. Qin Wensheng from the University of the Lakes of Canada visited our school from May 12 to May 14, 2018, and on the morning of May 14, the teacher and student of our school titled Microbial enzyme production technology in the production of biological products and environmental governance applications academic report. Prof. Qin first introduced the cooperative relationship between China and Ontario, Canada, and pointed out its strengthening trend and necessity. Aiming at the bottleneck of enzymolysis of the three major components of plant fiber raw materials, the feasibility of enzymatically realizing the high value utilization of biomass was proposed by increasing enzyme immersion and reducing the cost of enzyme production. Combined with the research results of his team, he introduced the application of transgenic technology in enhancing the enzyme production ability of microbial strains, the production and extraction technology of algae-degrading enzymes, and the microbial remediation technology of coal mine waste. Finally, around the application status and prospects of enzyme technology in the field of bio-biotransformation of biomass, Prof. Qin conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions with teachers and students present in the hospital. After the meeting, Professor Qin visited the State Key Laboratory of Bio-based Materials and Green Paper.
Prof. Qin Wensheng is a tenured professor of Biology at the University of Lakes, Canada and a doctoral supervisor in molecular biology and bioengineering. The main research fields include: (1) Research and development of low-cost, high-efficiency microbial enzyme products, (2) Application of engineered bacteria and engineered fungi to transform agricultural and forest biomass and municipal waste into biofuels and high value-added bio-based products, (3) Application of engineered and engineered fungi for the detoxification of paper and chemical sludge, (4) Microalgae and microbiological purification and energy recovery of inorganic and organic industrial wastewater from papermaking, chemical, textile printing and dyeing and food industries, etc. (5) Genetic engineering Bioreactors such as algae produce R&D for high-value medical proteins and other bio-based products.He has published 119 academic papers. Previously he was the Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Microbiology in the United Kingdom and Letters in Applied Microbiology in the United Kingdom, and an editorial consultant for Biochemical Journal in the UK. He is currently the editor of the Canadian Journal of Biotechnology and the Journal of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology, the International Journal of Biological Sciences, the International Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and the UK's Microbiology Discovery. Senior Editor of Magazine.
