Abstract:
To constantly supply functional feed resources (FFRs) toward meeting the rapidly growing meat demand, an efficient process alternative to traditional farming is required. Fermentation of synthetic microorganisms serves as an emerging solution, necessitating the coordination of (i) microorganism customization, (ii) product processing, and (iii) effect evaluation using animal experiments.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
