Through tailored microbial formulations or optimized farming practices, beneficial microbes are encouraged to inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi naturally. Synthetic Biology Technology By applying synthetic biology, Lifeasible designs engineered microbial systems that deliver specific functions, such as the expression of small RNAs for RNA interference. ...
The presentation has been included in the morning stream titled “Introducing the Era of Engineered Microbes” the 29th at 11.35. Leveraging Gut Microbiota Cross-Talk with Immune System to Enhance Cancer Immunotherapy Extracellular ATP (eATP) as a bacterial metabolite in host-microbiota mutualism Adaptive modulation of intestinal immunity by ...
Caribou Biosciences, Inc., a leading CRISPR genome editing company, announced the publication of a new study demonstrating human genome engineering with Type I CRISPR-Cas systems. The study, entitled “Harnessing Type I CRISPR-Cas Systems for Genome Engineering in Human Cells,” was published today in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature ...
Until recently it was thought that in all of biology, from microbes to humans, there were only two methods to generate and conserve the energy required for cellular metabolism and survival. ...
Fortunately, recent advances in DNA sequencing now allow us to sequence DNA from samples of biomass in wastewater treatment plants and identify and quantify nearly all the microbes in the system. This allows us to provide precise identification and quantification of all the microbes important to the system. ...
Another barrier to commercially viable biofuels from sources other than corn has fallen with the engineering of a microbe that improves isobutanol yields by a factor of 10. The finding of the Department of Energy’s BioEnergy Science Center, published in the journal Metabolic Engineering, builds on results from 2011 in which researchers ...
The approach could provide a pathway to eventual expansion of biofuels production beyond the current output limited to ethanol derived from corn. C5 FUEL™, engineered by researchers at Mascoma and BESC, features fermentation and ethanol yields that set a new standard for conversion of biomass sugars from pretreated corn stover—the non-edible portion of corn crops ...
The annual event acknowledges NREL's commercialization and partnering successes and honors the researchers and engineers who made it happen, including Distinguished Innovator Min Zhang and Rising Stars Chuck Booten and John Simon. ...
Bio-Microbics Inc., a global manufacturer of decentralized wastewater, water and stormwater treatment technologies, is pleased to announce that Shroffs Engineering Ltd. will do business as ‘Bio-Microbics India’ to focus on addressing India’s most challenging water issues. ...
Second-generation biofuels, on the other hand, can be derived from agricultural and forestry waste, which one might consider a more sustainable approach. Microbes are used to extract sugars from lignin and cellulose for conversion into biofuels. A third generation of biofuels might be derived from genetically modified conifers or vegetables engineered to produce ...
A team reported in Science today (19 January) that it has engineered a microbe that will convert the sugars to ethanol, overturning one of the main obstacles to making the use of brown macroalgae, or seaweed, as a biofuel feedstock competitive. ...
Department of Energy's Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) has developed a microbe that can produce an advanced biofuel directly from biomass. Deploying the tools of synthetic biology, the JBEI researchers engineered a strain of /Escherichia coli/ (/E. coli/) bacteria to produce biodiesel fuel and other important chemicals derived from fatty acids. ...
