Mining GOLD and new model organisms in biotechnology

Are you aware that 41% of completely sequenced microbial genomes remain unpublished? Where can scientists find this information? The answer is provided by Siezen and Wilson’s (2008) genomic update section article on unpublished, yet publicly available microbial genomes. The authors highlight that the GOLD (Genome OnLine Database, http://www.genomesonline.org) provides a complete and updated sta...

Benefits and Concerns Associated with Recombinant DNA Biotechnology-Derived Foods

Today, nutrient deficiency diseases in the Western world are a distant memory. A huge variety of food is available year round. For this to be possible, many of these foods are grown thousands of miles away from where we live, and processed by people we neither see nor know. Furthermore, in the United States, expenditures for food are among the lowest in the world—about 10% of average family inc...

Biosynthesis and characterization of biogenic tellurium nanoparticles by using Penicillium chrysogenum PTCC 5031: A novel approach in gold biotechnology

Production of nanoparticles has been attractive by biological based fabrication as an alternative to physical and chemical approaches due to exceeding need to develop safe, reliable, clean and eco-friendly methods for the preparation of nanoparticle for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. In the present study, biogenic tellurium nanoparticles (TeNPs) were successfully prepared using pot...
