The study underscores a significant breakthrough in environmental biotechnology, particularly in the context of soil bioremediation using bacterial isolates from petroleum-contaminated soils. With the growing concern over environmental pollution due to crude oil spills, this research highlights the effective role of native bacterial species in degrading petroleum hydrocarbons, offering a sustainable approach to remediation. The study isolated and characterized two bacterial strains from the Baiji and Qayyarah refinery areas in Iraq, leveraging both phenotypic and molecular (16S rRNA gene sequencing) techniques to ensure accurate identification, with the sequences now registered under NCBI accession numbers LC596402 and LC596404.
These strains, belonging to the Bacillus genus, demonstrated a high degradation efficiency in a controlled setting using modified mineral salt medium with crude oil as the sole carbon source. Notably, at a 2% crude oil concentration, the isolates achieved impressive degradation rates of 78.19% and 86.5% for strains AM-I-1 and AM-I-3, respectively, confirmed via gas chromatography. This high degradation capability positions these bacterial strains as promising agents for bioremediation strategies, particularly in crude oil-contaminated sites.
For researchers focused on environmental restoration and sustainable biotechnological applications, these findings open avenues for further investigation into the optimization of bioremediation processes. This study not only highlights the biotechnological potential of these isolates but also sets a foundation for developing scalable and eco-friendly remediation solutions, which could be crucial for mitigating soil contamination in regions affected by crude oil pollution.
"What environmental and procedural factors could affect the efficiency of bacteria in degrading petroleum hydrocarbons, and how can experimental conditions be optimized to achieve higher degradation rates in natural contaminated environments?"
I am conducting research to find bacteria capable of degrading plastics. I have found several methods, but most are qualitative. I would like to know if anyone has used any quantitative method that is easy to implement and low-cost?
I have to estimate the growth of my bacterial cultures spectrophotometrically and I read articles of measurement at an OD of 600nm. Also what to do if the values exceed 1. What is the proper method for the measurement of the same.
In my study, I observed a significant difference between the mean expected heterozygosity (He) of 0.88 and the observed heterozygosity (Ho) of 0.40. I am seeking insights into the potential causes for this discrepancy. One possible explanation could be inbreeding, which increases homozygosity and lowers observed heterozygosity. Another factor might be genetic drift, particularly in small populations, where random changes in allele frequencies can lead to a reduction in heterozygosity. I would appreciate any further explanations or insights into these or other possible reasons for such a substantial difference between He and Ho in my study.
Recently I complete my MS biotechnology and study was focused on abiotic stress and plant physiological response. Know in PhD I want to continue my MS work and explore molecular mechanisms behind physiology response again abiotic stress. In this project I want to screen genes associated with this particular abiotic stress and which metabolic pathways associated with these genes
And want to do my PhD degree with this project in china on CSC or any other scholarship.
So please suggest me the best universities or supervisors having this research topic or interests. Thank you.
Has anyone used Lupex Biotechnology Protein ladder (P101-2, 9-180 kDa) in gels? Do you get good separated bands? Please do share images too, if so. Thank You.
I'm very interested in biotechnology and medical research and I'd like to meet a professional here and talk about it together
I was wondering if it is possible to form a permanent open "ssDNA bubble" similar to a transcription bubble (>13 nucleotides) within E. coli. These criteria are important:
1. Open ssDNA bubble within replicable (in E. coli) genetic element. So no C-Traps under force.
2. No proteins, nucleic acids, or other toxic chemicals supporting the bubble. Can help during nucleation, but bubble has to be accessible for protein interaction.
3. Stable in bioorthogonal conditions. Physiological pH, salt, 37 °C, etc.
I am a member of the iGEM team 2014, Goteborg, Sweden. In our project we are trying to build a "yeast age counter", i.e. a synthetic circuit that expresses a different fluorescent protein according to the replicative lifespan of a yeast cell.
Without going too much into detail in the circuit design, one of our biggest issues is to make sure that the gRNA transcript, produced during the late G1 phase, "survives" through a whole cell cycle until the next G1 phase. In yeast the generation time is around 90 minutes and the above mentioned transcript is without the poly (A) tail so we are confident it will accumulate in the nucleus.
The main question is: will the transcript survive long enough or will it be degraded within one cell cycle?

I plan to explore the integration of computational biology and artificial intelligence (AI) with laboratory and experimental work, including animal models, cell culture, clinical trials, and molecular studies. As a biotechnology student with a strong interest in artificial intelligence, I believe this interdisciplinary approach has great potential for advancement and innovation.
However, I am faced with the challenge of identifying relevant literature in this emerging field. I would appreciate guidance on effective keywords and search strategies to navigate this research landscape and achieve my research goals.
One of my known claims to have been granted a German Patent in 23 days. Is it really possible to obtain a German Patent in such short interval of time?
What is the difference between absorption and adsorption?
Generally for bacterial DNA isolation we use a fresh culture of 2-5 days old. But if we use an older culture say 10-15 days old will it have any impact on the DNA content and the DNA isolation process as the bacterium may secrete some metabolites of their own in the liquid culture medium.

Deep Biotech is considered a part of deep tech because it involves complex scientific research, innovation, and advanced engineering, often leading to breakthroughs that can revolutionize multiple industries and address some of society's most pressing challenges.
source: google: connection between biotechnology and deep tech
The next big surge of innovation powered by emerging technologies and the approach of deep tech entrepreneurs. Its economic, business, and social impact will be felt everywhere because deep tech ventures aim to solve many of our most complex problems.
The great wave encompasses artificial intelligence (AI), synthetic biology, nanotechnologies, and quantum computing, among other advanced technologies. But even more significant are the convergences of technologies and of approaches that will accelerate and redefine innovation for decades to come.
As technological advances move from the lab to the marketplace, and as companies form to pursue commercial applications, we see a number of similarities in how and why they are being developed—and a powerful ecosystem is taking shape to drive their development. We witnessed the power of that ecosystem in the year just ended, as Moderna and the team of BioNTech and Pfizer separately took two COVID-19 vaccines from genomic sequence to market in less than a year. Although these companies did remarkable work at unheard-of speed, they benefited from the work of many others, including governments, academia, venture capital, and big business. All of these are critical players in the coming wave.

Genome editing (also called gene editing) is a group of technologies that give scientists the ability to change an organism's DNA. These technologies allow genetic material to be added, removed, or altered at particular locations in the genome. Several approaches to genome editing have been developed. A recent one is known as CRISPR-Cas9, which is short for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9. The CRISPR-Cas9 system has generated a lot of excitement in the scientific community because it is faster, cheaper, more accurate, and more efficient than other existing genome editing methods.
Hi everyone.
As crude as this may sound, I really need a job. Its been far too long I've been trying various portals and methods including LinkedIn, Jobstreet, indeed, recruiters, conference networking etc etc etc. I have even been trying for postgrads for a year now, however I have lost interest as earning is my primary concern.
I have a GPA of 3.77 (first class honors), IELTS Band 8, have diverse skillsets, and can adapt to any assigned tasks and new environments.
I'm looking for anything related to healthcare biotechnology research, lab assistance or even scientific communication and exhibitions.
I am open to opportunities in Singapore as I am planning to visit by mid Jan 2024. Other locations of interest include the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

Years back, I have taken notes from that book for my ug assignment, but I missed to note down the author’s name.
Now, I need the book for further reference. I searched a lot but i could not find it.
I could not get the book without knowing the author’s name.
BOOK DETAILS
TITLE: TEXTBOOK OF MICROBIOLOGY
CHAPTER 29: TOOLS OF FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGY ON PAGE 1021
If anyone knows the author details and the edition of the book, please share it.
Thank you in advance.
while studying about gene editing techniques, I came to know about the term targeted mutagenesis.
it was explained that after cutting the DNA at specific site using engineered nuclease, if homologous DNA not provided it leads to NHEJ which in turn leads to random mutation at the cut site. this was called as targeted mutagenesis.
my doubt is whether targeted mutagenesis and site specific mutagenesis are same are different.
please quote some references
I am planning to expand my business and hope to learn some industry information from you in your area. Or share some resources and explore potential cooperation opportunities.

Dear friends, I'm looking for colleagues who want to write a book on current topics in biotechnology. I'm attaching the possible abstract of the book, in case any of you want to participate.
1. Proposed title of the book:
Research and drug development in human diseases- Recent advances in biotechnology
2. A one-page abstract outlining its key features and information about the intended audience:
The research in human diseases is a very active field in health sciences. The development of new drugs with improvements in efficacy as well as the reduction in side effects is desirable in drug development. In this regard, the research about of new bioactive compounds, which can be further modified to improve its medical performance is It is a topic of current research.
The fundamental aspect of the research work about new drugs includes the isolation and identification of organic molecules in different sources. This assignment can be drastically improved by the use of modern biotechnology techniques as the omic sciences, for example.
Also, the research in the application of the isolated compounds can be from different sources as natural, synthesis and in silico among others sources. Therefore, there are several biological models to study the new drugs. For example, the mourin model is useful to study the tissue and physiological functions. Others biological models as the chicken egg model is related to the antibody and vaccine research, as well as the fish model which is useful to study cell morphology. Although, the biotechnology is used for the development of new drugs recently.
For this manner, In the case of vector-transmitted diseases, the identification of the vector via biotechnology is crucial to the development of new drugs. Also, the climatic change facilitates the emergence of new diseases for example the chikungunya and Leishmaniasis diseases, inclusive in countries non-tropical.
In order to complete these preliminary studies of new drug development, further computer auxiliary models performed by pharmacokinetic studies contributes to our understanding the principal pathways of new drugs in the human system with biotechnology development in the implementation.
This book represents a small but representative effort to go a step ahead in this battle between disease and targets, with the use of biotechnology in the development and implementation of the new drugs. Additionally, this book is intended to give a varied context, which could be useful for health scientists, as well as science students interested to increase its knowledge in frontier research regarded with drug development, particularly in the biotechnology field.

What is the negative control, the positive control and the reagent control in the agarose gel electrophoresis that is prepared for the identification of PCR products? Could a ladder of DNA be a positive control? Could the components of the PCR kit (buffer+ taq polymerase+ dNTPs+ MgCl2) be the reagent control?
The question is very specific so let me give the context. I prepared magnesium ferrite nanoparticles doped on carbon and conducted delignification tests with them (using coconut coir fibre as biomass and hydrogen peroxide of 6%w/v). There was one control (without nanoparticles and only peroxide) and three flasks with nanoparticles and peroxide. To assess the delignification, i checked the total phenol content after 24hrs of incubation of the flasks on a shaker using FC reagent colorimetric method. I observed that the absorbance of the control was higher than the flasks with the nanoparticles. What could be the reason behind this? How do I find out why the delignification was less?
Especially one that involves a biotechnological route

How the Fisheries Bio Technology helps in the production of Shrimp Culture In India?
Biodesalination is a concept that combines bioremediation and desalination processes to address water scarcity issues by removing salts and other contaminants from brackish or seawater. Traditional desalination methods, such as reverse osmosis, are energy-intensive and can have environmental impacts. Biodesalination aims to harness biological processes to make the desalination process more sustainable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective.
In biodesalination, biological organisms, such as certain types of bacteria, algae, or plants, are used to reduce the salinity of water. These organisms can either absorb salts directly from the water or facilitate the precipitation of salts, making it easier to separate them from the water. By leveraging the natural abilities of these organisms, biodesalination has the potential to reduce the energy requirements of desalination processes and minimize the environmental impact associated with conventional methods.
Research in the field of biodesalination is ongoing, focusing on identifying suitable biological agents, optimizing the conditions for their growth and salt removal abilities, and developing practical applications for large-scale desalination plants. The integration of biotechnology and desalination techniques holds promise for providing a sustainable solution to the global water scarcity challenge.

KEGG PATHWAY: Fatty acid biosynthesis - Chlorella variabilis (genome.jp)
Hello to all my fellow Biologists.
I have resorted to posting this question as my last desperate attempt to find a place for myself in the world of biotechnology.
I am a first class student with relatively good grades (GPA 3.77/4.00) in BSc. of Biotechnology (Hons), excellent extra-curriculars and competitions under my belt, 6 months of work as a Field/Research Assistant and 4 years of previous work experience in events management. I have experience in the microbiology, molecular biology, antivirals, nutraceuticals and cell culture disciplines. I have also taken a great liking to scientific communication and create visual content to make biology simpler for the Layman, both bother and in my own time.
Despite all this, I haven't had a single postgraduate application succeed for the last 2 years. And though I do understand there is high competition for available spots, I also wonder what I may be lacking despite some telling me I have an "impressive CV" and can do a direct PhD.
It is unfortunate however that my family is not doing financially well, therefore I can only afford opportunities with a scholarship or that are work/salary-based. Perhaps this narrows available opportunities but regardless, studentship scholarships have very evidently not opted for me, simply because "there were too many applicants this time around". Perhaps lacking funds is not enough of a criteria? (Hint of sarcasm).
Additionally, I was born and raised in the UAE (I do not get citizenship), therefore I am also looking for a potential country to eventually settle down in while doing the work I love.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone would know of opportunities I may be able to apply for like fully funded PhDs, or skilled/summer programs and workshops/internships, or even Research or Lab assistant positions you or someone you know may be looking for, because unfortunately, I'm 2 rejections away from being completely out of options.
I would greatly appreciate any input you may have or can share with me! I have also added my CV for your reference.
I don't want my impression of the field I love to be tainted with nothing but rejections, and to settle for a job outside our field simply because I had no other choice.
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Sincerely,
Zahraa Ozeer
Hello Dear professors,
I hope you are doing well. In fact, I need your help in getting a post-doctoral position in Food science and Biotechnology or any related branch of science.
I have a list of SNPs for a rice gene. And I have two questions related to this:
1. I want to make a figure showing the respective position of the haplotype in the genomic region (UTR, exon, intron). How can I do it?
2. If not manually, how can I replace the original sequence nucleotides with the haplotype's SNPs?
Hi, I did 16s rRNA sequencing and my isolate showed b.breve strain 3018. After doing the nacl resistance test it turned out that my strain is resistant at concentrations of 1.5%, 2.5%, up to 3.5%. My friend and I have bifidobacterium breve isolate with different strains but our nacl resistance ability is different, my friend's isolate is not resistant to nacl. my question is there a difference in the gene/genome or what? If yes, what is the name of the gene/genome? because I find it difficult to find specific literacy mentioning the genes/genomes that play a role in nacl resistance
note: I did a nacl test for probiotic characterization
Thank You
How can plant breeding and biotechnology be used to develop crop varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases, drought-tolerant, and have higher yields?
- possible answers should be in line with biotechnology in microbial degradation of contaminants
How does the use of genetic engineering and biotechnology affect crop production and food security?
I am trying to isolate a nuclear protein NF-kB from raw cells in order to do a western blot.
I have searched some protocol for nuclear isolation and finally came up with one. But in that protocol, apart from adding 420mM Nacl for NE buffer , they have added an extra 400mM using 5M NaCl directly onto nuclear pellet and again 1 pellet volume of NE buffer. Can anyone tell why extra NaCl should be added, and if we add double the volume of NE buffer, won't the protein get diluted? I'm attaching that protocol along with this.
I repeatedly get no colonies using the GeneMorph II random mutagenesis kit.The initial error prone PCR yields a substantial amount of target DAN, however, after the EZclone step, I get no colonies. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Hello dear biologists and biotechnologists,
you should understand my question and my thinking.
What do you think of the excessive involvement of other disciplines (especially mathematics) in publications in the field of biology, is this not a danger for our dear discipline: biology and biotechnology? . How could we explain that there are in certain cases, potentially, more publications in fields of biology, made by mathematicians than by biologists? Do mathematicians no longer manage to publish in mathematical fields that they turn to biology? I'm afraid that before long, real publications by biologists will be very rare. Save our discipline against opportunism.
