This work presents a conceptual analysis of the main biotechnologies used in Chilean salmoniculture, which is based on the production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, 356.407 t),silver salmon or coho (Oncorhynchus kisutc...

Los estudios en biotecnología canina están menos desarrollados que en otras especies. Las gametas y la reproducción canina en general tienen características únicas comparadas con las de otros mamíferos lo que hace ...

In recent years, the flipped learning (FL) model has emerged as an innovative and increasingly popular approach to education, transforming how students engage with content and enhancing overall learning outcomes. This mo...

Multicellular life relies on complex regulatory mechanisms ensuring proper growth and development. In plants, these mechanisms construct a body plan that is both reproducible, and highly flexible for adaptation to differ...

Industrial Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology is an optional 128h-course for Chemistry and Biology students at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This course is usually attended by 25 stu...

This research analyzes the conditions and strategic actions necessary to develop a sustainable biotechnology innovation ecosystem in Mendoza, Argentina. Despite the presence of public, private, and academic actors, fragm...

As vacinas representam a estratégia de intervenção com a melhor relação custo-benefício até hoje aplicada em saúde pública. Avanços biotecnológicos em diversas áreas de pesquisa têm contribuído para o desen...

A biotecnologia pode desempenhar um papel importante para atingir as metas da sustentabilidade. No presente trabalho, são descritos diferentes exemplos bem-sucedidos de micro-organismos especialmente desenhados para oti...

ABSTRACT Microorganisms are expected to play vital roles in the development of sustainable societies, but this idea is still poorly understood by the general public. In addition, it would also be important for the future...

ABSTRACT Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have well-documented benefits, including increasing students’ access to research, fostering science identity, and improving retention in STEM. However, C...

The main objective of the study is to improve energy efficiency of a shell-and-tube jet injection fer-menter (SJT) for aerobic cultivation of microorganisms. The relevance of the work is determined by the biotechnology i...

Vegetables represent a diverse and significant category of specialty crops, which show high nutritional and economic value compared to the limited occupation of arable land. Changes in lifestyles and dietary habits are s...

Abstract The control over what Dillon and Lobo-Guerrero (2008) conceptualise as ‘pluripotent’ life has become an essential factor of capitalist agriculture; this occurs through the regulation of strategic genetic res...

Significant progress in the area of animal production is due to the development of researches on genetics, environment, health, management and nutrition. The search for better management conditions that benefit animal we...

Abstract Background Optimization of biotechnological processes is traditionally limited by time-consuming trial-and-error approaches and the complexity of simultaneously optimizing multiple, often conflicting objectives....

A expectativa de o crescimento populacional atingir 9 bilhões de habitantes em 2050 em adição às questões da sustentabilidade e do aquecimento global nos desafiam a aumentar a oferta de alimentos. Uma metodologia al...

A biotecnologia é uma prática antiga, sendo utilizada desde o antigo Egito para a produção de pão e cerveja. No mundo contemporâneo, a biotecnologia tem sido utilizada de diversas formas, incluindo o tratamento de ...

In the last years, hairy root (HR) cultures are gaining attention in the biotechnology industry. This particular plant cell culture derives from explants infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. They constitute a relative...

Infections caused by Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates, such as hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), bacteremia, and skin and soft tissue infections, among others, are particularly challenging to...

Triterpene saponins (TS) are a structurally diverse group of metabolites that are widely distributed in plants. They primarily serve as defense compounds and their production is often triggered by biotic stresses through...

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans)merupakan bakteri Gram-negatif yang dikaitkan dengan penyakit periodontal. Ekspresi positif CD4+ tampak pada keadaan gingivitis(inflamasi gingiva) maupun pe...

Influenza is a global health concern. Licensed influenza vaccines induce strain-specific virus-neutralizing antibodies but hamper the induction of possibly cross-protective T-cell responses upon subsequent infection. 1 I...

Baculoviruses are insect-specific pathogens widely used in biotechnology. In particular,the Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) has been exploited as a platform forbio-inputs production. This is why the ...

Ureases are nickel-dependent enzymes widely distributed in nature that play fundamental roles in both healthcare and agriculture by catalyzing the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. This enzymatic activi...
