Cryopreservation refers to the process of preserving biological materials at extremely low temperatures to halt all biochemical processes, including metabolism and enzymatic activity. It plays […]
Sinorhizobium meliloti (now more commonly known as Rhizobium meliloti following taxonomic revisions) is a species of Gram-negative, nitrogen-fixing bacterium that forms a symbiotic relationship with […]
Pseudomonas denitrificans is a species of bacterium that belongs to the genus Pseudomonas, a group of Gram-negative, aerobic bacteria known for their versatility in metabolism […]
Bacillus megaterium is a species of Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium. It is part of the Bacillus genus, which includes a number of bacteria known for […]
Natural antifreeze mechanisms in biological cells enable certain organisms to survive and thrive in extremely low-temperature environments. These adaptations are particularly crucial in polar and […]
Continuous bioprocessing, a production approach where the input materials are fed into a bioreactor continuously and the product is harvested without stopping the process, now […]
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a class of small RNA molecules found primarily within the nucleolus of eukaryotic cells. They play crucial roles in the […]
Synthetic small RNA (sRNA) refers to artificially designed and synthesized small RNA molecules that are engineered to regulate gene expression in various organisms. These sRNAs […]
I’m always fascinated by how we have fashioned cells into small factories. They produce a great range of products from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals. […]
Synthetic mRNA has so many uses now in biotechnology. It is one of the great genetic engineering tools available now that can transform a static […]
Erythromycin is a broad spectrum macrolide antibiotic that has been widely used to treat various bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-positive bacteria and some […]
Bacteriophages, often referred to as phages, are viruses that specifically infect and replicate within bacteria. The term “bacteriophage” originates from the Greek words “bakterion,” meaning […]
Gene duplication is a significant evolutionary event where a segment of DNA, including one or more genes, is copied and inserted into the genome. This […]
ITS2 and 18S rRNA sequencing are key molecular techniques used for identifying and classifying fungi and yeast. Both are DNA-based methods that involve sequencing specific […]
Polyketide synthesis is a fascinating process, mainly occurring in microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which produces a diverse group of secondary metabolites known as polyketides. […]
Countercurrent solvent extraction (CCSE) is a widely used technique in chemical and biochemical processes for the separation and purification of compounds from complex mixtures. It […]
Transfection is the process of introducing foreign nucleic acids, such as DNA, RNA, or oligonucleotides, into cells. This technique is widely used in molecular biology, […]
Indium plays a significant role in the biotechnology industry, particularly in areas such as medical imaging, diagnostics, and targeted therapy. The uses of this element […]
Bioactive peptides have many functional benefits and some of them are proving to be extremely useful as food and pet food ingredients as well as […]
Processed pseudogenes are nonfunctional copies of genes that arise from reverse transcription and integration of mRNA transcripts back into the genome. Unlike typical gene duplications, […]
