Technological Microbiology: Development and Applications

Over thousands of years, modernization could be predicted for the use of microorganisms in the production of foods and beverages. However, the current accelerated pace of new food production is due to the rapid incorporation of biotechnological techniques that allow the rapid identification of new molecules and microorganisms or even the genetic improvement of known species. At no other time in...

The development of microbiology

The development of microbiology in Spain.

It is a pleasure for me to preface yet another publication issued by the Spanish Society of Microbiology (SEM), which tells the fascinating story of this thriving branch of biology that has reached such high levels of excellence worldwide, and especially in Spain in the last decades. The SEM is only a little over 50 years old—it was founded in 1946—and has more than 2,000 members working in uni...

Lectin and enzyme relationships in microbiology

Examples of inter- and intramolecular direct co-functioning of lectins and enzymes are summarized. The data indicate importance of lectin-enzyme relationships in molecular and clinical microbiology and medical biotechnology. Lectin-enzyme relationships have extended prospects in medicine and biotechnology.

Special Rumen Microbiology

Bacteria make up about half of the living organisms inside of the rumen. However, they do more than half of the work in the rumen. The bacteria work together. Some breakdown certain carbohydrates and proteins which are then used by others. Some require certain growth factors, such as B-vitamins, which are made by others. Some bacteria help to clean up the rumen of others’ end products, such as ...
