Industrial microbiology is a branch of applied microbiology in which microorganisms are used in industrial processes; for example, in the production of high-value products such as drugs ...

The global industrial microbiology market is on an impressive upward trajectory, reaching a valuation of USD 15.49 billion in 2023, and poised to nearly double by 2033 with a projected market value of ...

For instance, some bacteria can only obtain nitrogen from inorganic ammonium sources while others do so from nitrogen-containing protein molecules. Advancements in industrial biotechnology and ...

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now, researchers have demonstrated that this marker -- N4-methylcytosine (4mC) ...

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, ...

A team discovers a new family of enzymes capable of inducing targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific ...

B. subtilis spores are stable across a wide temperature range, which reduces the cost of storage and transportation.

The findings were recently published in Nature Biotechnology. "We've long known that bacteria swap genes in ways that impact human health, biotechnology and environmental stability," said James ...

The broad field of biotechnology and applied microbiology covers topics on the manipulation of living organisms to make products or solve problems to meet human needs. Students in this field study ...
