Essays on Biotechnology

SOL-Gel Processing Dong et al describes a method to synthesize iodine butyl-n-sulfonate amino polysiloxane {(IB-N-SA) PDMS} using poly(4-iodobutoxy) methylsiloxane and guanidine sulfamate. The cotton fabric was then soaked in a bath of (IB-N-SA) PDMS, zirconium oxide chloride, and urea at room temperature for four minutes…

Cell culturing is possibly the most vastly used technique in laboratories and research centres worldwide. With increasingly accurate environments of simple monocultures or complex polycultures being established, advancements within medical research can be made. Mammalian cell culture is enabling progress in areas such as cancer…

Downstream processing refers to the processes that take place after fermentation to recover and purify the product. Following cell culture, recovery is carried out by centrifugation and filtration from which the resulting cell harvest is transferred to the low-productivity purification processes. Purification of biologics involves…

This assignment describes the 2017-18 China Vaccine scandal in the sequence of events occurred, simultaneously showing the headlines reported and issues articled by various news lines in the process. In July 2018, China experienced its worst public health crisis in years as stated in a…

In my opinion, there is a fundamental difference between the past eugenics and present biotechnology even though there lies certain issue of value pluralism. In this essay, I will discuss my views on how past eugenics has cast a shadow of horror in the lives…

Albeit juvenile but with the conscience that a youngster encompasses, I used to speculate over ostensibly simple phenomenon; for instance, what makes milk turn into yogurt? Why our food items get spoiled on putting it in open air for certain time period? Who could have…

The purpose of these experiments is to view bacterial cells under a microscope by staining the cells and accommodating their characteristics with the stains used as different bacteria cells have different characteristics, depending on the environment in which they are exposed in. Experiment 4 covers…

Introduction Biological evidences take an important role in forensic investigation or what say forensic science department. The physical evidences of biological origin which are found in the crime scene are investigated by a lot of process in forensic serology. The materials which are which are…

One of China’s major vaccine makers, Changchun Changsheng Bio-technology, supplied faulty mandatory vaccines to infants and children and fabricated data for rabies vaccine production. However, parents were kept in the dark as the government censors hided the news. This shook public faith in immunizations and…

Ethylene Biosynthesis The biosynthesis of ET occurs through a comparatively simple metabolic pathway that has been widely studied and well recognized in plants (Yang and Hoffman 1984; Kende 1993; Zarembinski and Theologis 1994). In plants, ET is synthesized from amino acid methionine (Met) via S-adenosyl-L-methionine…
