Download or read book Euglena Biochemistry Cell and Molecular Biology written by Steven D. Schwartzbach and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This much-needed book is the first definitive volume on Euglena in twenty-fire years, offering information on its atypical biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and potential biotechnology applications. This volume gathers together contributions from well-known experts, who in many cases played major roles in elucidating the phenomenon discussed. Presented in three parts, the first section of this comprehensive book describes novel biochemical pathways which in some instances have an atypical subcellular localization. The second section details atypical cellular mechanisms of organelle protein import, organelle nuclear genome interdependence, gene regulation and expression that provides insights into the evolutionary origins of eukaryotic cells. The final section discusses how biotechnologists have capitalized on the novel cellular and biochemical features of Euglena to produce value added products. Euglena: Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology will provide essential reading for cell and molecular biologists with interests in evolution, novel biochemical pathways, organelle biogenesis and algal biotechnology. Readers will come away from this volume with a full understanding of the complexities of the Euglena as well as new realizations regarding the diversity of cellular processes yet to be discovered.

Download or read book Grand Challenges in Algae Biotechnology written by Armin Hallmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, researchers and practitioners working in the field present the major promises of algae biotechnology and they critically discuss the challenges arising from applications. Based on this assessment, the authors explore the great scientific, industrial and economic potential opened up by algae biotechnology. The first part of the book presents recent developments in key enabling technologies, which are the driving force to unleash the enormous potential of algae biotechnology. The second part of the book focuses on how practical applications of algae biotechnology may provide new solutions to some of the grand challenges of the 21st century. Algae offer great potential to support the building of a bio-based economy and they can contribute new solutions to some of the grand challenges of the 21st century. Despite significant progress, algae biotechnology is yet far from fulfilling its potential. How to unleash this enormous potential is the challenge that the own field is facing. New cultivation technologies and bioprocess engineering allow for optimization of the operation strategy of state-of the art industrial-scale production systems and they reduce the production costs. Parallel to this, new molecular technologies for genetic and metabolic engineering of (micro)algae develop quickly. The optimization of existing biochemical pathways or the introduction of pathway components makes high-yield production of specific metabolites possible. Novel screening technologies including high-throughput technologies enables testing of extremely large numbers of samples and, thus, allow for large scale modelling of biomolecular processes, which would have not been possible in the past. Moreover, profitable production can demand for integrated biorefining, which combines consecutive processes and various feedstocks to produce both transportation fuel, electric energy and valuable chemicals.

Download or read book Cellular Agriculture written by Dilek Ercili-Cura and published by American Chemical Society. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellular agriculture, also called lab-grown food, promises to provide alternative food options to current agriculture practices. Cellular agriculture is food grown in laboratories and bioreactors rather than on fields, relying on cultivation of cells under controlled conditions, with minimal use of natural resources and lower greenhouse gas emission costs than in traditional practices. It gives us the prospect of consuming the same foods such as a dairy ice cream or a burger. And it can further broaden the variety of textures, flavors, nutrition, and health-promoting aspects that food can deliver. Cellular Agriculture: Lab-Grown Foods gives an overview of the broad range of approaches to cellular agriculture, the current state of scale and regulations, and the results it brings about in terms of environmental footprint and consumer attitudes. Cellular Agriculture: Lab-Grown Foods was organized by Solar Foods, a food-tech company that develops a cell-based food protein produced from CO2 and electricity. A fruitful collaboration with VTT Technical Research Center of Finland Ltd allowed conceptualizing and streamlining of the written and visual content in the book.

Download or read book Intellectual Property Issues in Life Sciences written by Chetan Keswani and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intellectual Property Issues in Life Sciences: Disputes and Controversies highlights emerging legal, social, and regulatory issues pertaining to various areas of life sciences. Patents occupy a prominent position in the innovation systems in the life sciences, but to what extent they support, or hinder innovation is widely disputed. Life science is a broad subject including agriculture, ecology, microbiology, plant and animal sciences, health and diseases, biotechnology, etc. However, despite the broad applications of biotechnology and molecular biology techniques, profits on investments are surprisingly low. Thus, it is vitally important for universities, public research organizations, and private enterprises to protect their innovations. There are vast differences of opinion on patentability of living organisms, which are largely barred from patent protection. However, mind-sets are rapidly shifting and IP issues in life sciences are receiving increasing attention. To compete with progressive bio-based economies the developing countries are amending their IP laws to encourage investment. An effort has been made to avoid considering policy in isolation, but rather to emphasize the interplay between the policy mix, the wider institutional setting, market forces, and system organization solutions. Both empirical and conceptual chapters are included to bring them together and to yield facts and interpretations for the readers. This book presents expert opinions by frontier academicians, researchers, and attorneys on the recent challenges in the rapidly evolving life science industry. The present book offers comprehensive knowledge on the contemporary issues in life sciences to a wide range of audiences including students, scholars, researchers, legal practitioners, policymakers, and others interested in emerging intellectual property issues. Features The only compilation available on the contemporary intellectual property issues in life sciences in the post-COVID era. Focuses on the commercial, regulatory, bioethical, and socio-legal implications of patents in life sciences. Describes an integrated approach for sustained innovations in various areas of life sciences. Discusses the recent IP controversies in a pan-global context. Presents viewpoints to front-line practitioners, viz attorneys, researchers, etc.
