Principles of biotechnology: Genetic engineering

Numerous microorganisms are useful for the soil and help in absorbing necessary nutrients in the environment. By picking out the important and efficient microorganisms and culturing them, their benefits can be increased. These microorganisms can be added to the soil directly. These are called biofertilizers.  Biofertilizers are defined as materials that embody microorganisms that are […]

Introduction Biofertilizers are essential for the biosphere’s nutrient cycle. Moreover, it is the critical route on which plants rely for nutrients. They contain microorganisms’ living or latent cells. These substances are essential for enhancing the nutrients of the host plants. In addition, they are also more reasonable in terms of price than chemical fertilisers. Over

When it comes to biological systems and biomedical technology, bioengineering is a branch of engineering that applies engineering concepts of design and analysis.  Microorganisms made to produce chemicals, innovative medical imaging technology, portable illness diagnostic gadgets and tissue engineered organs are all examples of bioengineering research. Biomedical engineering draws on the knowledge and expertise of

Biocatalysis is the metabolic transformation of chemicals for producing new chemicals for industrial uses. It has become a vital part of modern organic synthesis, which is applicable in academia and pharmaceutical industries. The factor that skyrocketed the success of the Biocatalyst property was the expansion of the range of chemical reactions which are also accessible.

Single-cell proteins are dried microorganism cells that are used as a protein supplement in human foods and animal feeds. Microorganisms such as algae, fungi, yeast, and bacteria use cheap feedstock and waste as sources of carbon and energy for growth to produce biomass, protein concentrate, or amino acids. Because protein constitutes a quantitatively significant portion

Bees are one of several insects across the planet that can generate something that benefits us all.  These bees provide us with honey, and as we all know, honey is a crucial diet for humans.  Honey has been used to heal a variety of diseases since ancient times, and it is an antioxidant, thus beekeeping

As the name suggests, these methods act as barriers to prevent the sperm from reaching and fertilising an egg. Barrier methods are those methods that prevent the physical meeting of sperm with ovum by acting as a barrier between them for the prevention of pregnancy at the time of sexual intercourse. Also, they prevent the

Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms that exist in their millions, in every environment, both inside and outside other organisms. Some bacteria are harmful, but most serve a useful purpose. They support many forms of life, both plant and animal, and they are used in industrial and medicinal processes. What are bacteria? Bacteria are single-cell organisms

An autotroph, or primary producer, is an organism that uses carbon from simple molecules such as carbon dioxide to generate complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins), typically using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical processes (chemosynthesis). They transform energy from an abiotic source (such as light) into energy stored in organic

An artificial kidney is a man-made kidney. When a kidney fails or stops working an artificial kidney is physically incorporated into the host. It is also called haemodialysis, a procedure performed to filter out waste products and water from the body.   Artificial Kidney is also associated with renal replacement therapies which do not include the
