Sometimes the biggest transformations in life begin with a tiny “change of a letter.” The genetic information carried inside our cells is encoded on a molecule called DNA. We can think of DNA like a book: on each page there are specific instructions, and these instructions determine how living things will develop and how they will function. A mutation is the change in the text of this book in other words, a change in the DNA sequence. DNA’s “Letters” and the Meaning of Mutati

One of the most common and most difficult challenges to manage in biotechnological production processes is contamination. Contamination is defined as the unintended introduction of biological, chemical, or physical elements into the process other than the target microorganism or product during production. It is often detected too late, and its impact can be significant enough to compromise the entire process. Cases we encounter in the field show that contamination usually doe

What is Sustainability

Microbiology is not merely the science of small organisms.

What is the water footprint? Why should we care?

Microbial biotechnology harnesses the natural abilities of bacteria, fungi, algae, and viruses to create industrial, agricultural, and medical solutions.
