Biotechnology, Education and Life Politics: Debating genetic futures from school to society (Routledge Research in Education)
by Pádraig MurphyWhat should individuals and society do when genetic screening becomes widely available and with its impact on current and future generations still uncertain? How can our education systems around the world respond to these developments? Reproductive and genetic technologies (RGTs) are increasingly controversial and political. We are entering an era where we can design future humans, firstly, by genetic screening of "undesirable" traits or indeed embryos, but perhaps later by more radical genetic engineering. This has a profound effect on what we see as normal, acceptable and responsible. This book argues that these urgent and biopolitical issues should be central to how biology is taught as a subject. Debate about life itself has always been at the forefront of connected molecular, genetic and social/personal identity levels, and each of these levels requires processes of communication and debate, what Anthony Giddens called in passing life politics. In this book Pádraig Murphy opens the term up, with examples from field research in schools, student responses to educational films exploring the future of RGTs, and science studies of strategic biotechnology and the lab practices of genetic screening. Life political debate is thoroughly examined and is identified as a way of connecting mainstream education of biology with future generations. Biotechnology, Education and Life Politics will appeal to post-graduates and academics involved with science education, science communication, communication studies and the sociology of education.

Biotoxins in Food: Threats and Benefits
by Naga Raju Maddela Sesan Abiodun Aransiola Bunmi Comfort KotunBiotoxins are naturally occurring substances present in living organisms as a way of conferring biological defense or protection on such organisms. But their presence in food has been found to be a threat to unsuspecting food consumers. While they are exploited as biocontrol agents and as a biological defense mechanism against pests and predators in the field, biotoxins are implicated in foodborne illness in humans if consumed. Naturally occurring substances present in food include glycoalkaloids found in potatoes and lectins (phytohemagglutinin) in green beans and red kidney beans. Biotoxins in Food: Threats and Benefits discusses the natural poisons present in food, the threats posed, and the possible detection methods. This book assesses the implications of these biotoxins in food by evaluating the threats posed by the consumption of these naturally occurring poisons and the various emerging detection procedures available in the food industry. Several reports from contributing authors focus on the various threats linked to various food products and offer solutions in terms of removal.

Biotransformation of Waste Biomass into High Value Biochemicals
by Satinder Kaur Brar Gurpreet Singh Dhillon Carlos Ricardo SoccolAgro-industrial wastes are end-products emerging after industrial processing operations and also from their treatment and disposal e. g. solid fruit wastes and sludge. The agro-industrial wastes are often present in multiphase and comprise multicomponent. Nevertheless, these wastes are a goldmine as they possess valuable organic matter which can be diverted towards high value products ranging from polymers to antibiotics to platform chemicals. There have been plenty of books published on bioenergy, enzymes and organic acids, among others. However, this emerging field of biochemical has not yet been covered so far which is an important entity of the biorefinery model from waste biomass and needs to be understood from fundamental, applied as well as commercial perspective which has been laid out in this book.

Biovalorisation of Liquid and Gaseous Effluents of Oil Refinery and Petrochemical Industry (IHE Delft PhD Thesis Series)
by Samayita ChakrabortyA bidirectional approach of detoxifying the liquid and gaseous effluents of oil refineries is elucidated in this thesis. Liquid effluents of oil refineries contain selenium oxyanions and phenol, while gaseous effluents contain CO/syngas. To remove the phenol and simultaneously reduce the selenite oxyanions, a fungal-bacterial co-culture of Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Delftia lacustris was developed. Two modes of co-cultures of the fungus and the bacterium were developed. Both cultures were investigated for phenol degradation and selenite reduction. In order to valorize the CO/syngas by bioconversion techniques. an anaerobic methanogenic sludge was acclimatized to use CO as the sole carbon substrate to produce acetic acid, butyric acid, and hexanoic acid. Later, the acids were metabolized at lower pH, producing alcohols ethanol, butanol and hexanol, confirming the successful enrichment strategy. The next experiment focused on the absence of the trace element tungsten, and consecutively selenium on the previously CO acclimatized sludge under the same operating conditions. An in-situ synthesized co-polymeric gel of N-ter-butyl-acrylamide and acrylic acid was used to recover ethanol, propanol and butanol from a synthetic fermentation broth. The scope of repeated use of the gel for alcohol recovery was investigated and 98% alcohol was recovered.

Bioökonomie für Einsteiger
by Stephan Meyer Joachim Pietzsch Wolfgang Zettlmeier Ulrich SchurrDieses Buch bietet eine aktuelle und gut lesbare Einführung in die Bioökonomie. Es vermittelt damit grundlegende Kenntnisse zum Verständnis eines Transformationsprozesses, der das 21. Jahrhundert prägen wird und die Integration vieler Disziplinen und Branchen verlangt, die bisher wenig miteinander zu tun hatten. Die Rede ist von dem allmählichen und notwendigen Übergang aus dem Zeitalter fossiler Brennstoffe, das vor rund 200 Jahren begann, in eine weltweite Wirtschaftsform, die auf nachwachsenden Rohstoffen (und erneuerbaren Energien) basiert. Dieses Buch begreift die Verwirklichung von Bioökonomie(n) dabei als eine dreifache Herausforderung – eine naturwissenschaftliche, eine ökonomische und eine ökologische. Woher stammt die Biomasse, die wir vorrangig für die Ernährung der wachsenden Weltbevölkerung wie auch für eine zukünftige energetische und stoffliche Nutzung brauchen? Wie wird sie in Bioraffinerien verarbeitet und welche Rolle kommt der Biotechnologie zu? Welche Gesichtspunkte der Innovationsökonomie gilt es zu bedenken, welche betriebswirtschaftlichen Aspekte der Wertschöpfung, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Kundenakzeptanz sind von Bedeutung? Welche Bedingungen muss die Bioökonomie erfüllen, um eine nachhaltige Entwicklung der Erde zu ermöglichen? Darf sie überhaupt auf Wachstumsziele setzen oder sollte sie sich nicht besser am Ideal der Suffizienz orientieren? Indem das Buch diese Fragen aus den nicht widerspruchsfreien Perspektiven ausgewiesener Experten behandelt, gibt es einen interdisziplinären Überblick über ein dynamisches Feld von Forschung und Praxis, der mehr Fragen aufwirft als beantwortet und dennoch eine Lücke schließt. Denn bisher gibt es keine verständliche und fachübergreifende Darstellung der Bioökonomie. Das macht die Lektüre dieses Buches zu einem Gewinn nicht nur für Einsteiger, sondern auch für Fachleute, die über die Grenzen ihres eigenen Fachgebietes hinausschauen wollen.

Bioökonomie und Zirkulärwirtschaft im Bauwesen: Eine Einführung
by Jan GrossarthDas Bauwesen sucht neue Wege. Ein intelligenterer Umgang mit Materialien wie Ziegeln, Stahl, Beton oder Holz ist notwendig. Techniken und Konzepte dafür gibt es. Aber die Umsetzung bleibt träge. Die Gründe dafür sind nicht allein technischer und ökonomischer Art. Auch die sozial- und kulturwissenschaftliche Perspektive auf Akteure, Institutionen und ökologische Krisenwahrnehmungen ist aufschlussreich.Wie lässt sich ein auf Ressourcenbewahrung und Klimaschutz ausgerichteter Bau verwirklichen? Welche Beiträge leisten Zertifizierungen, Ökobilanzierung und die Kommunikation? Was ist von innovativen Zementen oder Recycling-Baustoffen zu erwarten? Und von Nachwachsenden Rohstoffen wie Holz oder Stroh? Welche Beiträge können der politische Ordnungsrahmen und die Werte nachhaltiger Architektur - Ästhetik, Charakter, Geschichtlichkeit - leisten? Wie sind Ziel- und Interessenkonflikte zu beschreiben? Der Ansatz der Bioökonomie verbindet die Idee zirkulärer Stoffströme mit ökonomischem Realitätssinn. Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick, der von historischen Vorbildern bis zu biotechnologischen Innovationen reicht. Es führt erstmals Ansätze der Bioökonomie und Zirkulärwirtschaft mit der Nachhaltigkeitsausrichtung des Bauwesens zusammen und ordnet sie in handlungsrelevante Kontexte ein. Mit mehreren Exkursionen, und Experteninterviews mit Armin Grunwald und vielen anderen. Sowie einem Vorwort von Michael Braungart: „Unsere Nachhaltigkeits-Expertokratie hilft, das Verkehrte zu optimieren. Zugleich gibt es aber auch gute Entwicklungen.“Das Buch richtet sich an Leserinnen und Leser aus den Bereichen Bauingenieurwesen, Baupraxis, Architektur, Immobilien, Bioökonomie, sowie an Studierende, interessierte Laien und an Akteure der Politik und Politikberatung.
