In low-oxygen conditions, some organisms such as the single-cell alga Chlamydomonas are able to generate cellular energy from the breakdown of sugars without taking up oxygen. They do this using a ...

A research team has delivered a comprehensive overview showing how microbial fermentation—guided by synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and smart bioprocess design—can transform violacein from a ...

Scientists have known for decades that cancer cells don't metabolize sugar in the same way normal cells do. Scientists have been trying since that discovery in the 1920s to figure out why cancer cells ...

Fermented foods have been a cornerstone of human diets for millennia, offering preservation and health benefits. Long before refrigeration, fermentation extended the shelf life of perishable foods by ...

We manipulated the enzyme activity levels of the alcohol fermentation pathway, pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in Arabidopsis using sense and antisense overexpression of ...

Amyris. has filed a patent for methods to efficiently produce isoprenoids using biosynthetic pathways, nucleic acids, enzymes, vectors, and genetically modified host cells. The patent also covers ...
