Synthetic ccdB DNA containing the promoter, Shine-Dalgarno and the coding sequence of ccdB was synthesized by Sloning BioTechnology (now part of Morphosys).
Metallic nanoparticles of silver or gold have been exploited for use in medicine and biotechnology, in part, because they are nontoxic, do not photobleach, and are of relatively low cost (Barnes et al., 2003; Iwasaki et al., 2006; Lal et al., 2007; Jain et al., 2008; Javier, 2008; Hamidi and Oskuei, 2014; Eustis and El-Sayed, 2006).
Diversified manufactures include petroleum, chemicals, biotechnology, auto parts, and aerospace components.
Biotechnologies are part of the solution to environmental problems as well as being contributors to pollution, e.g., when materials are released during bioprocessing.
Critically reflecting on the effect of this dominant approach, acknowledging the complex socio-ecological systems and networks of which agricultural biotechnologies are part of is important as well as being open to learn from other agriculture systems [e.g. 28].
