  2. Rapeseed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed

    The term "canola" denotes a group of rapeseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world. [3] [4]

  3. Sophorolipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophorolipid

    A detailed and comprehensive literature review on the various aspects of sophorolipids production (e.g. producing micro-organisms, bio-synthetic pathway, effect of medium components and other fermentation conditions and downstream process of sophorolipids is available in the published work of Van Bogaert et al. [5] [16] This work also discusses potential application of sophorolipids (and their ...

  4. Rapeseed oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed_oil

    [66] [67] Canola oil produced using genetically modified plants has also not been shown to explicitly produce adverse effects. [68] It is usually accepted that canola oil poses no unusual health risks for humans. [67] Canola oil is generally recognized as safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration. [4] [48]

  5. Polyploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy

    Polyploidy occurs in some tissues of animals that are otherwise diploid, such as human muscle tissues. [45] This is known as endopolyploidy. Species whose cells do not have nuclei, that is, prokaryotes, may be polyploid, as seen in the large bacterium Epulopiscium fishelsoni. [46] Hence ploidy is defined with respect to a cell.

  6. Horizontal gene transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_gene_transfer

    1: Donor bacterium cell (F+ cell) 2: Bacterium that receives the plasmid (F- cell) 3: Plasmid that will be moved to the other bacterium 4: Pilus and T4SS. Conjugation in bacteria using a sex pilus; then the bacterium that received the plasmid can go give it to other bacteria as well. E. coli cells going through conjugation and sharing genetic ...

  7. WI-38 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WI-38

    The WI-38 cell line stemmed from earlier work by Hayflick growing human cell cultures. [2]In the early 1960s, Hayflick and his colleague Paul Moorhead at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania discovered that when normal human cells were stored in a freezer, the cells remembered the doubling level at which they were stored and, when reconstituted, began to divide from that level to ...

  8. Recombinant DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombinant_DNA

    DNA expression requires the transfection of suitable host cells. Typically, either bacterial, yeast, insect, or mammalian cells (such as Human Embryonic Kidney cells or CHO cells) are used as host cells. [8] Following transplantation into the host organism, the foreign DNA contained within the recombinant DNA construct may or may not be expressed.

  9. Fatty acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthesis

    A young adult human's fat stores average between about 15–20 kg (33–44 lb), but varies greatly depending on age, sex, and individual disposition. [10] In contrast, the human body stores only about 400 g (0.9 lb) of glycogen , of which 300 g (0.7 lb) is locked inside the skeletal muscles and is unavailable to the body as a whole.
