Microbial Biotechnology In Pakistan

792 Words4 Pages

MICROBIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY: In microbial biotechnology microorganism (fungi, protozoa,bacteria,virus and algae) or plants and animals are used to processes the scientific and engineering principle materials to create useful products. Microbial biotechnology was started in world war 1 and its outcome in the development of glycerol fermentation and acetone butanol. Sometimes microbial biotechnology also mention as industrial biotechnology which deals with the dairy products, food and consumer products. APPLICATION OF MICROBIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY: The application of microbes in biotechnology are: 1. Production of yeast 2. Production of enzyme 3. Production of antibiotics 4. Production of dairy products 5. Production of alcoholic beverages INSTITUTE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY IN PAKISTAN: Institute University Institute of biotechnology and genetic engineering …show more content…

It also play an important role in enhancement of factor such as soil nutrient, plant pathogen crop and much more. Among the five major crops of Pakistan that are cotton, rice, sugarcane, maize and wheat the modern biotechnology focused on rice and cotton. Pakistan is the world fourth largest producer of cotton which is known as “white gold” life of million of farmer depend on this crop. It accounts for 8.2% of the value added in agriculture and about 3.2% to GDP. By the introduction of bt rice it give benefit to the growers that resist the insecticide use on rice and better control on disease like stem borers and blight. MICROBIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY IN FOOD: The historical changes by microorganism is a fermentation process in food biotechnology. Microbes play an important role in the enhancement of texture, taste, nutritional value, shelf life and flavor of

    The Solid sequencing platform, produced by Technologies/Applied Biosystems (ABI), performs sequencing by ligation method. Similar like the Roche 454 library preparation, genomic double strand DNA were sheared into small pieces and ligated with two types of adatptors P1 and P2 on two ends. One end with P1 adaptor binds onto the surface of the magnetic bead and emulsion PCR takes place to amplify single nucleotide fragment. Then the oil was washed out and four fluorescent labeled di-bases probes were added into the beads mixture. By matching the 1st and 2nd position of the template by di-base probes, fluorescence was detected and the extra tail with fluorescent probe is cleaved out.

  • Fleischmann's Rapid-Rise Yeast

    1614 Words  | 7 Pages

    Under anaerobic conditions, alcoholic fermentation occurs in Fleischmann’s Rapid-Rise yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). During glycolysis, glucose is converted to two pyruvate; consequently, the end products are two ATP molecules from substrate level phosphorylation and two NADH molecules. Then, NAD+ regeneration occurs, first converting two pyruvate to two acetaldehyde while also releasing two carbon dioxide molecules, and ultimately two acetaldehyde converting to the end product of two ethanol with the regeneration of two NAD+. It is important to indicate that the alcoholic fermentation process can be applied to the use of ethanol as biofuel. With this in mind, ethanol biofuel is expected to produce lower levels of pollution with the use

    517 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being able to identify unknown microbes from systematic testing is what makes the field of microbiology so important, especially in infectious disease control. Using the testing procedure laid out by the microbiology field we are able to identify unknown bacteria present in our everyday lives, and along the way learn a lot about their characteristics that separate them from other types of bacteria. Being able to do this is vital in order for us to understand why microbes are present in certain places, how they are able to grow and what restricts their growth, that way they can be combatted if necessary. These techniques for determining unknowns are also important for isolating and testing infectious disease microbes in order to prevent spreading. Another important aspect of being able to identify unknown microbes is the

    Every research should include risk factor measures that necessitates the consideration towards the public health. Are there going to be long term complication that the synthesized microorganism can cause on ecological foot prints? Can the new organism have mutations which can harm other organisms? All these questions require further research on functionality of synthesized microorganism in different environmental conditions. In addition genetically engineering this type of microorganism is prone to be time consuming and expensive.

    What do a tomato, soybean and a french fry have in common? They are all some of the most commonly genetically modified foods sold on the market today. By using the genetic information from one organism, and inserting or modifying it into another organism, scientists can make food crops stay fresher, grow bigger, and have the crops create their own pesticides. Nevertheless, the technology to modify genes has surpassed its practicality. Genetically modified foods need to be removed from everyday agriculture because of the threat they pose to human health, the environment, and the impact on global economy.

    The purpose of this experiment was to insert the plasmid glow green into the bacteria with a gene of interest to produce the protein that make the bacteria glow green along with the presence of arabinose and the presence of ampicillin. Many scientists are experimenting different kind of genes that can inserted into the organism for survival. The technique of transformation was used in this experiment to give the organism a new trait that they did not possess in their life. In this experiment, the bacteria were added to four plates with certain conditions such as the existence of plasmid, ampicillin, and arabinose to see whether the bacteria grow and glow green. The results showed that the LB/amp/araC +pGLO produce a lot of colony and most

    Introduction Conservation, or protection, of land, air, and water resources, is one of the most important factors in keeping agriculture alive and well in America today. In years prior to the 2014 Farm bill, there were over twenty distinct conservation programs, meaning that there were several programs that overlapped each other, and were repetitive in activities and other practices. With over four years of debating, the 2014 Farm Bill was put into place. With that accomplishment, many changes to the Conservation title were created, including, program consolidation and reauthorizing. This paper will examine the factors of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and how it will help farmers across America.
