Bioremediation: Cleaning Up With Biology And Technology
Angela Martello | Jan 6, 1991 | 7 min read
As the necessity of cleaning up the environment moves to the forefront of the public's consciousness, researchers in increasing numbers have been enlisting some of the earth's tiniest creatures to help clean up highly polluted sites and reclaim soils and groundwater systems. Stimulated by advances in microbiology and biotechnology, the booming multidisciplinary field of environmental biotechnology focuses on the use of microorganisms to treat or degrade hazardous waste, encompassing the techniq

Surpassing the Law of Averages
Jeffrey M. Perkel | Sep 1, 2009 | 7 min read
By Jeffrey M. Perkel Surpassing the Law of Averages How to expose the behaviors of genes, RNA, proteins, and metabolites in single cells. By necessity or convenience, almost everything we know about biochemistry and molecular biology derives from bulk behavior: From gene regulation to Michaelis-Menten kinetics, we understand biology in terms of what the “average” cell in a population does. But, as Jonathan Weissman of the University of Califo
Centrifuge Improvements Put New Spin On A Laboratory Workhorse
Howard Goldner | Mar 5, 1995 | 7 min read
A true laboratory workhorse, the centrifuge has been an essential part of most biological labs for many years. Using centrifugal force obtained by spinning experimental samples at high revolutions per minute (rpm), the device functions as a preparative method to separate various sample components, within minutes, for further treatment. Ultracentrifugation is an even more powerful technique that is used in analytical studies involving the characterization of and interactions between biological m
