in this article we will discuss about the production of medium and longer chain fatty acids. Productions of Medium Chain Fatty Acids: Several plant oil is made up of medium chain or short chain fatty acids. Major portion of the vegetable oil consist of fatty acids like stearic, palmetic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. These are C16 and C18 in [...]
The commercial production of biopolymer is aimed as bio-degradable alteration to petrochemicals (synthetic) plastics. The homopolymer poly (3-4 hydroxy butyrate) (PHB) shows brittle, whereas copolymer like poly (3-hydroxy butyrate-co-3-hydroxy valerate) (PHBV) are more flexible due to their reduced crystallanity and are well suited for commercial applications. Polyhydroxybutyrate is best characterized polymer synthesized in bacteria Alkaligenes entrophus accumulate upto 70% of [...]
Engineered plant viruses are popularly employed for the production of vaccines in plants. Efficacy of plant virus to deliver vaccine gene into the plants are rapid and efficient expression of recombinant protein have been realised. The main strategy involves engineering of viral coat protein (CP) in fusion with antigenic protein or peptide. The formation of infectious particle display antigen on [...]
