Precision Fermentation Study May Revolutionize Food Quality and Sustainability

XTalks

By genetically editing microorganisms, scientists can now manipulate the metabolic pathways to produce foods with desirable properties. The precision fermentation study highlights how genetically engineered microorganisms can inhibit the growth of foodborne pathogens.

During this period, Nobel prize-winning German scientist Paul Ehrlich developed his lock-key hypothesis of molecules that specifically bind to cell receptors. Building on the success of cytokine-based immunotherapies, scientists continued to seek other areas where the immune system could be leveraged against tumours.

Bacteriophage Therapy: A Promising Solution to Antibiotic Resistance

Advarra

Phages deliver their genetic material into the bacteria so, when the bacteria flourishes and reproduces, the bacteria also copies the viral genome and hands it down to bacterial progeny. Bacteriophages (phages for short) are viruses that infect bacteria. As such, the virus reproduces with virtually no effort (see Figure 5).
