Bioprocess of Gibberellic Acid by : The Challenge of Regulation, Raw Materials, and Product Yields.

Gibberellic acid (GA) is a tetracyclic diterpenoid carboxylic acid synthesized by the secondary metabolism of . This phytohormone is widely studied due to the advantages it offers as a plant growth regulator, such as growth stimulation, senescence delay, flowering induction, increased fruit size, and defense against abiotic or biotic stress, which improve the quality and yield of crops. Therefore, GA has been considered as an innovative strategy to improve agricultural production.

Phytochemical profile of petals from black Dahlia pinnata by flow injection analysis-electrospray ionization-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.

Introduction: Dahlia pinnata Cav. is a flower native to Mexico that has many applications; in particular, its petals have been used for ornamental, food, and medicinal purposes, for example to treat skin rashes and skin cracks. It has been reported that the medicinal properties of plants are generally related to the phytochemical constituents they possess.

Extraction Technologies: Impact of Research and Value Addition in Latin America.

The Cannabis genus of plants has been widely used in different cultures for various purposes. It is separated into three main species: sativa, indica, and ruderalis. In ancient practices, the plant was used as a multipurpose crop and valued for its fiber, food, and medicinal uses.

Engineering of global transcription factors in Bacillus, a genetic tool for increasing product yields: a bioprocess overview.

Transcriptional factors are well studied in bacteria for their global interactions and the effects they produce at the phenotypic level. Particularly, Bacillus subtilis has been widely employed as a model Gram-positive microorganism used to characterize these network interactions. Bacillus species are currently used as efficient commercial microbial platforms to produce diverse metabolites such as extracellular enzymes, antibiotics, surfactants, industrial chemicals, heterologous proteins, among others.

Two-methods approach to follow up biomass by impedance spectroscopy: Bacillus thuringiensis fermentations as a study model.

Impedance spectroscopy is used for the characterization of electrochemical systems as well as for the monitoring of bioprocesses. However, the data obtained using this technique allow multiple interpretations, depending on the methodology implemented. Hence, it is necessary to establish a robust methodology to reliably follow-up biomass in fermentations.

On-line monitoring of industrial interest Bacillus fermentations, using impedance spectroscopy.

Impedance spectroscopy is a technique used to characterize electrochemical systems, increasing its applicability as well to monitor cell cultures. During their growth, Bacillus species have different phases which involve the production and consumption of different metabolites, culminating in the cell differentiation process that allows the generation of bacterial spores. In order to use impedance spectroscopy as a tool to monitor industrial interest Bacillus cultures, we conducted batch fermentations of Bacillus species such as B.

Use of equivalent circuit analysis and Cole-Cole model in evaluation of bioreactor operating conditions for biomass monitoring by impedance spectroscopy.

The most important parameter in bioprocesses is biomass, where not only the quantity produced in a culture but also the behavior that is presented are important concerns. It is clear that conditions of operation in a bioreactor affect biomass production, but how operation conditions affect the measurement of biomass on-line is of special interest. We studied the effect of bioreactor operating condition variations on model parameters using impedance spectroscopy for biomass monitoring.
