A collection of all the articles covering agriculture, biochemical engineering, biotechnology and related industry topics.
The Maibock is a traditional German style of strong lager that originated as a seasonal beer, typically brewed in the spring which is Mai in […]
Fermentation is a process that has been used for centuries to produce a wide variety of products. Some of the top products produced by fermentation […]
Streptomyces fradiae is a species of filamentous bacteria that belongs to the genus Streptomyces. It is notable for its ability to produce the antibiotic tylosin, […]
The nucleosome is the basic structural unit of chromatin, which is the complex of DNA and proteins that make up the chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. […]
Shuttle vectors play a crucial role in biotechnology as versatile tools for the transfer of genetic material between different host organisms. These vectors are designed […]
Cucumbers are complex in their flavour. The flavour of this fruit is characterised by just 30 volatile compounds. All these volatiles are either six-carbon or […]
One of the difficulties in home composting has been the breakdown of woody or cellulosic materials without resorting to burning it. Industrially, there is considerable […]
The effective handling of food wastes at home can prove tricky especially if one is hoping to be responsible by returning nutrients to the soil and […]
Recent investigations into food waste management following my studies in environmental management have led me to look more closely at the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. […]
Bacterial conjugation is a fascinating and intricate process that allows bacteria to transfer genetic material between individual cells, facilitating the exchange of valuable traits such […]
Velutin, a novel flavone was recently found in Acai fruit (Euterpe oleraceae) and appears to have some very useful anti-inflammatory properties. It was first named and […]
I recently tried some beverages from Bionade GmbH which are rather unique and deserved their own post. They are not soft drinks for a start […]
The seafood industry generates a large amount of biodegradable waste and none more so than shrimp and prawns. It is not surprising that with such […]
At a recent conference on managing waste fruit materials, a supplier commented on research efforts directed to using coffee bean waste. One of the issues […]
Patulin (4-hydroxy-4H-furo (3, 2-c) pyran-2 (6H)-one) has long been recognised as problem mycotoxin found on mouldy fruits, predominantly apples and pears, some vegetables and other foodstuffs. Patulin is a […]
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule which is fundamental to life. For a start it is the code that determines the structure and nature of […]
DNA replication is one of the key fundamental processes of biology. It is the way cells are able to replicate their coding. The DNA polymerases […]
![DNA. Nucleic acid purification. Okazaki fragments. PCR (digital PCR [dPCR], multiplex digital PCR, qPCR), DNA Repair, DNA Replication in Eukaryotes, DNA replication in prokaryotes, DNA barcoding](https://foodwrite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/dna-geralt-pixaby-03539309_640-326x245.jpg)
Okazaki fragments are short sequences of DNA nucleotides that are synthesized discontinuously. They are formed during the process of duplication of DNA. The other strand […]
5′-capping, also known as mRNA capping, is a post-transcriptional modification that occurs in the early stages of mRNA processing in eukaryotic cells. It involves the […]
Gaucher’s disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency or malfunction of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase (GBA). This enzyme is responsible for breaking […]
