A collection of all the articles covering agriculture, biochemical engineering, biotechnology and related industry topics.
BHK-21 refers to a cell line derived from the kidney cells of the baby hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). BHK-21 stands for Baby Hamster Kidney-21. It is […]
Hot trub and cold trub are two important terms that brewers in particular need to understand more about. Hot Trub/Hot Break Wort is boiled for […]
Ion-exchange chromatography involves the separation of molecules such as proteins based on their charge profile. It is often defined by process engineering texts as the […]
Introduction Centrifugation is one of the standard technologies in the food and biochemical engineering industry for separating particulates from fluids. Some classic examples include the […]
The manufacture of starch is a very traditional process and can only be sourced from plants. It is a key component of the food supply […]
Plants are unique in many respects but one feature of their biochemistry and metabolism in particular is the synthesis of starch. It comes really from […]
A batch culture is a culturing system for growing microbes and producing microbial products by fermentation. It is a closed system meaning that the fermentation […]
Gas chromatography (GC) is a powerful analytical technique used in chemistry to separate and analyze the components of a mixture based on their volatility and […]
An aprotic solvent is a class of solvents characterized by the absence of hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms such as oxygen or nitrogen, which […]
During a fermentation process, several problems and issues can arise. The most common is the failure to produce any product whatsoever. If it is a […]
Sex-linked inheritance refers to the inheritance patterns of genes located on the sex chromosomes, specifically the X and Y chromosomes. In Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known […]
Fructose intolerance, also known as hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), is a genetic disorder characterized by the inability to metabolize fructose properly. It is caused by […]
Genetic reassortment, also known as genetic recombination, is the process by which genetic material from different sources, such as different individuals or strains, is combined […]
Autosomal dominance is a pattern of inheritance in genetics where a trait or disorder is determined by a dominant allele located on one of the […]
The Wzx/Wzy pathway, also known as the ABC transporter-dependent pathway or the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter pathway, is a mechanism involved in the biosynthesis and […]
Arabinose catabolism is the process by which prokaryotes metabolize the sugar arabinose as a carbon source. Arabinose is a pentose sugar present in plant polysaccharides, […]
The NADH dehydrogenase complex, also known as Complex I, is the first and largest enzyme complex in the electron transport chain (ETC) of cellular respiration. […]
The electron transport chain (ETC) is a crucial process in cellular respiration that occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane (in eukaryotes) or the plasma membrane […]
Sex determination refers to the process by which an individual’s biological sex, either male or female, is determined. The mechanisms of sex determination can vary […]
The law of independent assortment, proposed by Gregor Mendel, describes how different genes segregate and assort independently during the formation of gametes (sperm and eggs). […]
