This article overviews the enzymes produced by microorganisms, which have been extensively studied worldwide for their isolation, purification and characterization of their specific properties. Researchers have isolated specific microorganisms from extreme sources under extreme culture conditions, with the objective that such isolated microbes would possess the capability to bio-synthesize spec...

What is the value of bio-objects? In a series of texts (primarily published in the Croatian Medical Journal) new entities, identified and/or produced by new technology, have been analytically defined as bio-objects. Bio-objects derive from innovative knowledge, they are generated through a “bio-objectification” process, and continuously negotiated in the intersection of science, politics, and s...

in order to determine the effects of applied phosphate bio-fertilizer on yield and morphological traits of wheat, a research was conducted in sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during 2008-2010. a factorial experiment was performed based on randomized complete block design with four replications. the first factor consists of two levels of phosphate bio-fertilizer (0 and...

The recovery of clean energy in the form of methane-containing biogas is starting to receive tremendous attention in South Africa. However, it is unclear whether the transition from standard bio-methane production to waste-based bio-hydrogen production would improve or worsen the environmental and energetic performance as quantified by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The results of this study show...

BACKGROUND Succinic acid is one of the key platform chemicals which can be produced via biotechnology process instead of petrochemical process. Biomass derived bio-oil have been investigated intensively as an alternative of diesel and gasoline fuels. Bio-oil could be fractionized into organic phase and aqueous phase parts. The organic phase bio-oil can be easily upgraded to transport fuel. The ...
