BIOTRANSFORMATION

-

INTRODUCTION

Biotransformation is a chemical reaction catalyzed by cells, organs, or enzymes. It is characterized as a cycle through which the practical gatherings of natural mixes are altered by living cells to a synthetically extraordinary item. It investigates the extraordinary properties of biocatalysts, specifically their sound system area particularity and their capacity to do responses at no outrageous pH esteems and temperature. It very well might be utilized to do explicit changes of complex substrates utilizing plant, creature or microbial cells or cleaned proteins as impetuses. The creation of metabolites, fine synthetics, and the drug can be accomplished by biotransformation utilizing natural impetuses. 


Factors affecting biotransformation:


Biotransformation relies upon different variables like physiological, biochemical angles and ecological states of cell culture, for example, 


•Origin of plant tissue 


•Culture Media 


•Growth controllers 


•Carbon source in the medium 


•Temperature 


•PH 


•Light power 


Advantage of Biotransformation 


•More than one response can be cultivated utilizing cell societies that express a progression of catalyst exercises. 


•In a few occasions even non-delivering cell culture can be utilized to orchestrate the ideal finished result utilizing suitable forerunner. 


•The cycle of biotransformation might be straightforward where the cycle is interceded by at least one catalysts with numerous means. 


•Single step biotransformation is nearly productive, as the yield diminished with increment in steps. 


•Natural or engineered substrate is utilized for biotransformation. 


•An significant strategy for the creation of optional metabolites by different methods. 






Methods of Biotransformation: 


1) Biotransformation by hairy root culture: 


•Roots are acceptable wellsprings of assortment of common items like propane alkaloid, Catharanthus alkaloids, hyoscy amine and atropine. Much consideration is being given as of late for getting optional plants items by shaggy root culture. 


•The furry roots are sub refined fundamentally on strong medium and the nonrotary shaker at 1000 rpm at 2500 C in dim in fluid medium. Furry root culture is conceivably relevant to the creation of all root-got metabolites from dicotyledonous plant. 


Uses of biotransformation through hairy root culture:- 


•Undifferentiated celli of Atropa belladonna didn't create the tropane alkaloids-hyoscyamine however the way of life picked up the capacity to orchestrate this compound with the separation of roots. 


•Capability to biotransform butylatedhydroxytoluene (BHT:- food additive,antioxident) into stilbenequinone has been found in a few bushy root societies of individuals from the family-Asteraceae. It has announced the biotransformation of 18-glycyrrhetinic corrosive (against inflammatory,antioxidant) in Panaxginseng bristly root culture, which were likewise ready to glycosylate digitoxigenin, a forerunner of heart glycosides. 


•Whitakar delivered Onion culture with elevated levels of ethylcysteine sulfoxide (food synthetic) which doesn't happens normally in Allium's species. 


2)Biotransformation by free cells: 


This is likewise a valuable procedure for biotransformation. The biotransformation response incorporate oxidation, hydroxylation, methylation, and acylation. Following seem significant in developing procedures for maximal arrival of auxiliary metabolites by refined cells. 


a) Selection of clones with high productivity. 


b) Permeabilization of cells 


C) Selective expulsion of metabolites from media. 


d) Optimization of media for expansion of creation and discharge. 


These cells are filling in various kinds of societies like: 


1. Callus culture 2. Suspension culture. (EACH FULLY DESCRIBED IN OTHER BLOG)

Cell layers are "specifically porous". This implies they permit the development of certain atoms openly across them, yet don't permit the free entry of others.  In wide terms, there are three manners by which particles move across layers. This article will think about the cycles of dissemination, assimilation, and dynamic vehicle, and think about the clinical pertinence of these cycles.  Diffusion  Diffusion is the development of a solute from a territory of its high fixation to a region of its low focus – for example down a fixation angle. This cycle is "aloof" – for example it requires no vitality; the inclination is sufficient to drive the cycle.  Fick's laws portray dissemination. One rearranged game plan expresses that 'the pace of dissemination is corresponding to the focus angle, the length of the dispersion pathway and the surface territory accessible for dispersion'. This can be composed as follows:  Pace of dispersion ∝ (surface territory x

Biotechnology Biotechnology in simplest way is the technology that is based on biology. Biotechnology uses highly cellular and bio molecular processes so as  to develop those technologies and products that can be helpful in improving our lives and the health of our planet "EARTH". Humans have used the different biological processes of various microorganisms from past thousands of years(approx.6000) so to produce  useful food products, like bread and cheese, and also to preserve different dairy products. How is biotechnology contributing to the world? HEAL THE WORLD Biotechnology is helping in healing the world by using nature's self-created mechanisms and also by using our own genetic makeup to heal and guide lines of research by: Decreasing level of infectious disease; Saving lives of millions of children's; Changing the conditions of serious, life-threatening diseases affecting millions of people around the globe; Providing treatments to individuals to minimize heal

PHOTORESPIRATION

-
Introduction to Photorespiration Earlier it was supposed that the rate of respiration in light was almost equal to the respiration in darkness. Recently it has been observed that light affects respiration and the rate of respiration in light about 3 to 5 times more than the respiration in darkness. This led to the discovery of photorespiration. It is also known as C2 cycle. The existence of photorespiration was first demonstrated by Decker in the year 1955 and 1959. He and his associates were the first to use the term photorespiration. Photorespiration is a process which involves loss of fixed carbon as CO2 in plants in the presence of light. It is initiated in chloroplasts. This process does not produce ATP or NADPH and is a wasteful process. Photorespiration occurs usually when there is the high concentration of oxygen. Under such circumstances, RuBisCO, the enzyme that catalyses the carboxylation of RuBP during the first step of Calvin cycle, functions as an oxygenase. Some O2 does
