Finally, the challenges encountered by the entrepreneurs in accessing micro-...

To establish an efficient culture protocol for production of biomass and bioactive compound, protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium candidum were induced from stem segments using solid MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L kinetin, 30g/L sucrose and 2.3 g/L Gelrite. By inoculating 80 g/L of PLBs in 1/2 MS medium containing 30 g/L sucrose at an initial medium pH of 5.0 under a 10 µmol m-2 s-1 PPF, the maximum growth as well as the maximum po...

La vida sólo es posible negando la entropía. Los seres vivos, como sistemas abiertos, realizan esta función intercambiando con el medio materia y energía. Este importante quehacer que realiza el ser vivo para continuar vivo sería imposible sin la concurrencia de esas proteínas específicas y diferenciadas en la catálisis denominadas enzimas. De igual modo, los miles de reacciones que intervienen en el metabolismo intermediario de carbohidratos,...
