A collection of all the articles covering agriculture, biochemical engineering, biotechnology and related industry topics.
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. […]
Swollen shoot disease is a significant and destructive viral disease affecting cocoa (Theobroma cacao) plants, primarily in West Africa, where the bulk of the world’s […]
Fats, also known as triglycerides, are a type of lipid and an important energy storage molecule in many organisms. They are composed of glycerol and […]
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 […]
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is one of the most extensively studied and well-known […]
The search for safe and sustainable methods to preserve food is increasing in urgency and importance. Why? There is a strong desire to reduce our […]
Bayesian Optimization is a technique used in optimization and machine learning to find the optimal set of parameters for a given objective function. It works […]
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 […]
Aspergillus parasiticus is a significant fungal species within the genus Aspergillus. It is primarily known for its ability to produce aflatoxins, potent mycotoxins that pose […]
Beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) is a major whey protein found in the milk of mammals, particularly in cow’s milk. It belongs to the lipocalin protein family and […]
Bovine somatotropin (BST), also known as bovine growth hormone (BGH), is a naturally occurring peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland of cattle. It plays […]
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 […]
Ammonia capture technology refers to a set of processes and systems designed to capture and remove ammonia (NH₃) emissions from various industrial, agricultural, and wastewater […]
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically from around 780 to 2500 nanometers, to […]
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 […]
