Synthetic Biology

5.8K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Production of Biopesticides01:18

Production of Biopesticides

60
Biopesticides offer a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides, utilizing microbial agents to control agricultural pests. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a widely employed bacterium known for its potent insecticidal activity. Bt biopesticides are favored for their specificity to insect pests, minimal environmental impact, and natural degradability.Mechanism of Bt Toxin Action Bt produces insecticidal crystal (Cry) proteins during its sporulation phase. These proteins form parasporal...

Upstream Processing01:27

Upstream Processing

73
Upstream processing represents a critical phase in biomanufacturing, wherein biological systems such as microorganisms, mammalian cells, or insect cells are cultivated to produce therapeutic proteins, vaccines, enzymes, or other biologically derived products. This phase encompasses all steps from the selection and genetic manipulation of the production organism to the cultivation of cells in bioreactors under tightly controlled environmental conditions.Host Selection and Genetic OptimizationThe...

Bioreactor Controls-III01:22

Bioreactor Controls-III

51
Strain improvement is a foundational strategy in industrial microbiology aimed at maximizing microbial productivity, particularly because natural isolates typically yield commercially valuable products in very low concentrations. Although optimizing the culture medium and environmental conditions can improve yields, these adjustments are inherently limited by the organism’s genetic potential. As a result, the focus shifts toward genetic modifications to enhance biosynthetic capacity. The...

Bioreactor Design and Operational System01:29

Bioreactor Design and Operational System

68
Bioreactors are engineered vessels designed to cultivate microorganisms under controlled conditions for industrial bioprocessing. They maintain sterility and allow precise regulation of pH, temperature, oxygen, and nutrient levels to optimize microbial growth and metabolite production. Bioreactors range from small laboratory units of 1 liter to industrial systems holding up to 500,000 liters, though only about 75% of their volume is actively used for fermentation. The remaining headspace...

Microbial Biosensors01:17

Microbial Biosensors

47
Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that utilize living microbes to detect specific substances through measurable signals. These devices consist of two main components: biosensing organisms and signal-transducing elements. Biosensing organisms, such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are typically housed in multiwell plates connected to transducers, enabling rapid, real-time detection of target analytes.Signal Generation MechanismWhen a target analyte—such as...

Area of Science:

  • Bioscience Ethics
  • Biotechnology Policy
  • Science Education

Background:

  • Bioscience and biotechnology professionals have a social responsibility to address ethically complex policy issues arising from their work.
  • Educators must equip future professionals with the skills to manage these responsibilities.
  • Challenging policy problems, termed 'fractious problems,' require specialized navigational skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advance the acquisition of 'fractious problem navigational' skills in future professionals.
  • To enhance motivation for applying these skills to community problem-solving.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of problem-based learning courses in ethics pedagogy.

  • Implementation of two pilot problem-based learning courses in ethics.
  • Development and administration of the Skills for Science/Engineering Ethics Test (SkillSET) and its revision (SkillSET 2.0).
  • Assessment of students' understanding and motivation related to complex policy problems.

Main Results:

  • Pilot projects demonstrated the utility of problem-based learning in developing ethical navigational skills.
  • SkillSET and SkillSET 2.0 effectively measured the impact of the ethics pedagogy.
  • Initial findings indicate success in enhancing both skills and motivation.

Conclusions:

  • Ethics education is crucial for preparing bioscience and biotechnology professionals for social responsibility.
  • Problem-based learning offers a viable pedagogical approach for complex ethical issues.
