Monitor: Third time lucky
Thu, 04 Jun 2009 11:53:53 -0000
Industrial biotech: A “third wave” of biotechnology is arriving. Will it be able to avoid a poor reception from the general public this time around?FOR a long time the public has perceived biotechnology to mean dangerous meddling with the genes in food crops. But biotechnology is of course about much more than transgenic food: it also encompasses the use of microbes to make pharmaceuticals, for example. The many benefits of the first wave of biotech products, in medicine, have unfortunately been overshadowed by the supposed risks of biotech’s second wave, in agriculture. Might its third wave—so-called industrial biotech, also known as “white biotech” or “green chemistry”—resolve biotech’s image problem?As with other forms of biotechnology, industrial biotech involves engineering biological molecules and microbes with desirable new properties. What is different is how they are then used: to replace chemical processes with biological ones. Whether this is to produce chemicals for other processes or to create products such as biopolymers with new properties, there is huge scope to harness biology to accomplish what previously needed big, dirty chemical factories, but in cleaner and greener ways. ...
Civil engineering: Filling in the cracks
Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:37:50 -0000
How to preserve concrete with bacteriaCONCRETE is one of the most commonly used building materials. It is cheap, strong and easy to work with. But, as a short walk through any city centre will prove, it cracks easily. The cracking of concrete pavements is merely a nuisance, but cracks in roads, bridges and buildings are a hazard. A way of making concrete that healed such cracks spontaneously would thus be very welcome. And a team led by Henk Jonkers at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands may have come up with one.The way to stop concrete cracking is to bung up small cracks before they enlarge. That process of enlargement is caused by water getting into a crack, then freezing in cold weather and thus expanding. This freeze-thaw cycle, a common form of erosion of natural rocks, too, weakens a structure directly and also exposes steel reinforcing rods to water, causing them to rust. ...
North Carolina: Pipettes at the ready
Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:57:43 -0000
The state helps engineer a biotech boomDURING a laboratory session at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, a dozen students gathered around a chromatography column. They were sending clarified lysate through an anion exchange, and some compared notes on the peculiar chemical smell of the classroom. “It’s like bad chicken noodle soup,” said one, wrinkling her nose. Others explained how they had ended up in the protective goggles and booties. Wrennie Edwards said that she had started her career in textiles, but now she was “transitioning” to a livelier field. Megan Crum explained that, growing up in Greensboro, she always wanted to be a vet. But once she got to university she realised that everyone wanted to be one. There were, she thought, more opportunities in biomanufacturing. Her father, who used to work in tobacco, was enthusiastic. ...
