A collection of all the articles covering agriculture, biochemical engineering, biotechnology and related industry topics.
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 […]
Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2; benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductases) are a class of enzymes known as oxidoreductases that catalyze the oxidation of various substrates. They belong to the […]
Idli are simple, glorious examples of prudent cooking and there are many reasons to try them or even make them a feature of your cooking. […]
The production of glutamic acid through fermentation involves the use of microorganisms, particularly bacteria from the genus Corynebacterium and in particular, the species Corynebacterium glutamicum. […]
The Rop (Repressor of Primer) protein is a small, homodimeric protein found in bacteria, particularly in Escherichia coli. It plays a crucial role in the […]
The chemical synthesis of peptides, which are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, is a crucial process in biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical […]
Nannochloropsis is a genus of microalgae that has gained attention as a well-established feed source in aquaculture due to its high nutritional value and ability […]
Streptomyces clavuligerus is a Gram-positive, filamentous bacterium that belongs to the genus Streptomyces, within the family Streptomycetaceae. It is known for its ability to produce […]
Understanding mammalian development requires studying the intricacies of various stem cells. Here, I will discuss the pros and cons of three different types of stem […]
‘Normal’ Stem Cells Characteristics: Self-renewal: Normal stem cells have the ability to self-renew, generating more stem cells to maintain their population. Differentiation potential: They can […]
Autologous, allogeneic, and xenogeneic cell therapies are different approaches to using cells for therapeutic purposes. There are three main types: Autologous Cell Therapy Autologous cell […]
Polytene chromosomes are unique and characteristic structures found in certain tissues of various organisms, including insects. These chromosomes are formed through a process called endoreplication […]
Protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) plays a crucial role in post-translational modification (PTMs) of proteins, particularly those involving disulphide bonds. Disulphide bonds are covalent bonds formed […]
Activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) is a key transcription factor involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway, which is activated in response to endoplasmic […]
Glutathione is a key component used by the body as an antioxidant. It is produced by a number of tissues but the main centre of […]
