A collection of all the articles covering agriculture, biochemical engineering, biotechnology and related industry topics.
Food waste is a shocking issue! We have an increasing world population which is also experiencing greater hunger than ever. The prospective world population may […]
Introduction: NADPH oxidases, or NOX enzymes, are a family of proteins that play a crucial role in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within […]
Pet foods used to be about pouches and dogs with wagging tails. In recent times the focus has suddenly shifted to less meat, more vegetarian […]
Genomic clusters for secondary metabolites, also known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), are regions of the genome that contain genes responsible for the synthesis of […]
The fermentation of clavulanic acid involves the cultivation of the bacterium Streptomyces clavuligerus under controlled conditions to induce the production of this important β-lactamase inhibitor. […]
Global and local alignments are two types of sequence alignment methods used in bioinformatics. They differ in how they align two sequences and what information […]
The production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) using fermentation involves the use of microorganisms, typically bacteria, to synthesize and accumulate PHA as intracellular granules. PHAs are biodegradable […]
Glutaric acid, also known as pentanedioic acid, is a widely used chemical for various applications. These include production of polyamides, polyurethanes, glutaric anhydride, 1,5-pentanediol, and […]
Aspergillus awamori is a filamentous fungus belonging to the genus Aspergillus. It is commonly used in various biotechnological applications, particularly in the fermentation industry for […]
Food waste is a shocking and troubling issue and reflects on our current value of the planet. There is however a potential saviour in the […]
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a plant that could be grown as a valuable bioresource especially for biofuel. It is native to North America. It […]
Citrus pectin nanoparticles are nano-sized particles derived from citrus pectin, a complex polysaccharide found in the cell walls of citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, […]
The circular bio-economy is a concept in the topic of sustainability. It involves the creation of a closed-loop system for the effective consumption and use […]
Fermentation should proceed without issue if it is controlled and managed properly. A fermentation relies on a microorganism, a bacteria, yeast or plant/animal cell being […]
Home composting which I ‘posted’ on briefly earlier, is a form of solid-state fermentation (SSF) whereby the substrate is moist enough to support the growth […]
When it comes to modeling and developing treatments for human diseases, various types of stem cells are utilized. Their use in biotechnology has been discussed […]
Tylosin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the macrolide class. It is primarily used in veterinary medicine to treat various bacterial infections in animals, particularly […]
FAD stands for Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide, and it is a coenzyme that plays a critical role in various biological processes. It is derived from riboflavin, […]
Catabolite repression, also known as glucose repression, is a regulatory mechanism observed in microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, that allows them to prioritize the utilization […]
