Biobutanol: An attractive biofuel Tập 2 Số 12 - Trang 1525-1534 - 2007
Peter Dürre
AbstractBiofuels are an attractive means to prevent a further increase of carbon
dioxide emissions. Currently, gasoline is blended with ethanol at various
percentages. However, butanol has several advantages over ethanol, such as
higher energy content, lower water absorption, better blending ability, and use
in conventional combustion engines without modification. Like ethanol, it can be
produced ... hiện toàn bộ
PEGylation of therapeutic proteins Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 113-128 - 2010
Simona Jevševar, Menči Kunstelj, Vladka Gaberc Porekar
AbstractSince the first PEGylated product was approved by the Food and Drug
Administration in 1990, PEGylation has been widely used as a post‐production
modification methodology for improving biomedical efficacy and physicochemical
properties of therapeutic proteins. Applicability and safety of this technology
have been proven by use of various PEGylated pharmaceuticals for many years. It
is expec... hiện toàn bộ
Advanced biofuel production in microbes Tập 5 Số 2 - Trang 147-162 - 2010
Pamela Peralta‐Yahya, Jay D. Keasling
AbstractThe cost‐effective production of biofuels from renewable materials will
begin to address energy security and climate change concerns. Ethanol, naturally
produced by microorganisms, is currently the major biofuel in the transportation
sector. However, its low energy content and incompatibility with existing fuel
distribution and storage infrastructure limits its economic use in the future.

Microfluidics Based Point‐of‐Care Diagnostics Tập 13 Số 1 - 2018
Chandra Mouli Pandey, Shine Augustine, Saurabh Kumar, Suveen Kumar, Sharda Nara, Saurabh Srivastava, Bansi D. Malhotra
Point‐of‐care (POC) diagnostic devices have been predicted to provide a boon in
health care especially in the diagnosis and detection of diseases. POC devices
have been found to have many advantages like a rapid and precise response,
portability, low cost, and non‐requirement of specialized equipment. The major
objective of a POC diagnostic research is to develop a chip‐based,
self‐containing mini... hiện toàn bộ
Manufacturing of recombinant therapeutic proteins in microbial systems Tập 1 Số 2 - Trang 164-186 - 2006
Klaus Graumann, Andreas Premstaller
AbstractRecombinant therapeutic proteins have gained enormous importance for
clinical applications. The first recombinant products have been produced in E.
coli more than 20 years ago. Although with the advent of antibody‐based
therapeutics mammalian expression systems have experienced a major boost,
microbial expression systems continue to be widely used in industry. Their
intrinsic advantages, s... hiện toàn bộ
Camelina as a sustainable oilseed crop: Contributions of plant breeding and genetic engineering Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 525-535 - 2015
J. Vollmann, Christina Eynck
AbstractCamelina is an underutilized Brassicaceae oilseed plant with a
considerable agronomic potential for biofuel and vegetable oil production in
temperate regions. In contrast to most Brassicaceae, camelina is resistant to
alternaria black spot and other diseases and pests. Sequencing of the camelina
genome revealed an undifferentiated allohexaploid genome with a comparatively
large number of g... hiện toàn bộ
Metagenomics: Concept, methodology, ecological inference and recent advances Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 480-494 - 2009
Jagtar Singh, Arvind Behal, Neha Singla, Amit Joshi, Niti Birbian, Sukhdeep Singh, Vandana Bali, Navneet Batra
AbstractMicroorganisms constitute two third of the Earth's biological diversity.
As many as 99% of the microorganisms present in certain environments cannot be
cultured by standard techniques. Culture‐independent methods are required to
understand the genetic diversity, population structure and ecological roles of
the majority of organisms. Metagenomics is the genomic analysis of
microorganisms by... hiện toàn bộ
Systematic microcarrier screening and agitated culture conditions improves human mesenchymal stem cell yield in bioreactors Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 473-486 - 2016
Qasim A. Rafiq, Karen Coopman, Alvin W. Nienow, Christopher J. Hewitt
AbstractProduction of human mesenchymal stem cells for allogeneic cell therapies
requires scalable, cost‐effective manufacturing processes. Microcarriers enable
the culture of anchorage‐dependent cells in stirred‐tank bioreactors. However,
no robust, transferable methodology for microcarrier selection exists, with
studies providing little or no reason explaining why a microcarrier was
employed. We... hiện toàn bộ
Towards automated production and drug sensitivity testing using scaffold‐free spherical tumor microtissues Tập 6 Số 12 - Trang 1488-1496 - 2011
Maren Drewitz, Marianne M. Helbling, Nicole Fried, Manuela Bieri, Wolfgang Moritz, Jan Lichtenberg, Jens M. Kelm
AbstractAlthough the relevance of three‐dimensional (3‐D) culture has been
recognized for years and exploited at an academic level, its translation to
industrial applications has been slow. The development of reliable
high‐throughput technologies is clearly a prerequisite for the industrial
implementation of 3‐D models. In this study the robustness of spherical
microtissue production and drug test... hiện toàn bộ
Towards dynamic metabolic flux analysis in CHO cell cultures Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 61-74 - 2012
Woo Suk Ahn, Maciek R. Antoniewicz
AbstractChinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most widely used mammalian
cell line for biopharmaceutical production, with a total global market
approaching $100 billion per year. In the pharmaceutical industry CHO cells are
grown in fed‐batch culture, where cellular metabolism is characterized by high
glucose and glutamine uptake rates combined with high rates of ammonium and
lactate secretion... hiện toàn bộ
