Agricultural soils are often cocontaminated with multiple pesticides. Unfortunately, microorganisms isolated from natural environments do not possess the ability to simultaneously degrade different classes of pesticides. Currently, we can use the approaches of synthetic biology to create a strain endowed with various catabolic pathways that do not exist in a natural microorganism. Here, we desc...

0261-2194/$ e see front matter 2010 Elsevier Ltd. doi:10.1016/j.cropro.2010.02.016 On 14 October 2009, the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) of India approved the commercialization of transgenic Bt brinjal (1⁄4eggplant), transformed to express an insecticidal protein (Cry1Ac) from the bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis. This was a significant decision on the long road to becoming the...

Rising demand for energy resources alongside climate emergency concerns has attracted the urgent attention of researchers towards preparation and utilization biofuels. This review will investigate different generations biofuels more particularly, developmental production processes creating liquid Initially, first-generation biofuel was dependent on edible resources, which caused controversy arg...

A genetic algorithm is used for design of infrared filters and in the understanding of the material structure of a resonant tunneling diode. These two components are examples of microdevices and nonodevices that can be numerically simulated using fundamental mathematical and physical models. Because the number of parameters that can be used in the design of one of these devices is large, and be...
