Recent Biotechnological Applications Using Oleosins
Oleosins are naturally occurring, small (15-24 kDa), amphipathic, plant proteins that prevent the coalescence of oil bodies (OBs) during seed and pollen maturation. The physiochemical properties of oleosins and their association with OBs have led to a broad array of potential applications in biotechnology utilizing native or recombinant forms of oleosin or oleosin-fused polypeptides. This revie...
متن کاملBiotechnological Production of Lactic Acid and Its Recent Applications
Lactic acid is widely used in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries and has received increased attention for use as a monomer for the production of biodegradable poly(lactic acid). It can be produced by either biotechnological fermentation or chemical synthesis, but the former route has received considerable interest recently, due to environmental concerns and the limited ...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Production and Biotechnological Applications of C-Phycocyanin
An extensive range of pigments including phycobiliproteins are present in algae. C-phycocyanin (C-PC), a phycobiliprotein, is one of the key pigments of Spirulina, a microalgae used in many countries as a dietary supplement. Algal pigments have massive commercial value as natural colorants in nutraceutical, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, besides their health benefits. At present, inc...
متن کاملBiotechnological Applications of Transglutaminases
In nature, transglutaminases catalyze the formation of amide bonds between proteins to form insoluble protein aggregates. This specific function has long been exploited in the food and textile industries as a protein cross-linking agent to alter the texture of meat, wool, and leather. In recent years, biotechnological applications of transglutaminases have come to light in areas ranging from ma...
متن کاملBiotechnological applications of thermophoresis
Measuring parameters such as stability and con-formation of biomolecules, especially of nucleicacids, is important in the field of biology, medicaldiagnostics and biotechnology. We present athermophoretic method to analyse the conformationand thermal stability of nucleic acids. It relies on thedirected movement of molecules in a temperaturegradient that depends on su...
