Next Generation Bio-Based Alternative Materials Innovation Summit
Decision-makers from biotech, fashion and apparel will discover, discuss, and debate the novel technological advances shaping a more sustainable industry.
11th March 2021
The
Next-Generation Bio-Based Alternative Materials Innovation Digital Summit, which is being held from 30 March – 1 April 2021 in collaboration with the Material Innovation Initiative, will bring together key decision-makers from many disciplines. Fashion brands, innovators from start-ups, and biotech and plant-based companies producing alternative materials and dyes, will join leading suppliers and manufactures to explore key challenges and opportunities in the successful commercialization of bio-based materials and dyes at scale.
For three days, decision-makers from biotech and fashion and apparel companies will discover, discuss, and debate the novel technological advances powering the new wave of alternative textiles shaping a more sustai
Algae are considered as most ancient and important living organisms on earth. They occur in all conceivable biotopes influenced by environmental factors which affect their growth and distribution. Algae are extremely important ecologically as they provide 50-70% of the earth’s oxygen, and account for about half the food produced by photosynthesis on a global scale (John, 1994).
With an innate ability to survive in the harshest of environments requiring meager natural resources and having been identified as a non-competitive food source, algae is now being touted as a solution for Clean Energy, Environment apart from being Food and Nutrition source. With algae related research programs gaining steady prominence, application of magnetic fields on micro-algae appears most promising.
Study demonstrates the impact of reverse antibiotic on gram-negative bacteria
Scientists from Skoltech and MSU have investigated antibiotic nybomycin that could prove effective against bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. Their research was published in the journal
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.
All bacterial cells contain topoisomerases, an important group of enzymes that help deal with spatial difficulties stemming from bacterial cell division associated with circular DNA replication. Topoisomerases can be of two types, I and II, depending on breaks they produce in DNA (one strand or double strand).
Type II often acts as a target for antibiotics, including fluoroquinolones (FQ), a common group of antibiotics that comprises levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and others. Unfortunately, bacteria easily acquire resistance to FQs through mutations in topoisomerase-encoding genes. The emergence of resistant pathogenic strains is a global problem in healthcare, therefore, ide

An irrigation company’s decision to relinquish its consent to take extra water from the Rangitata River when in high flow has been hailed as a “gift to New Zealand” by anglers.Rangitata Diversion Race Management Ltd (RDRML) was awarded the consent to take an extra 10 cumecs in water when the river was flowing 110 cumecs or higher by an Environment Canterbury-appointed independent panel in 2018.
However, appeals by Fish and Game, Ngāi Tahu and Te Rūnanga o Arowhenua to the Environment Court had delayed the consent’s implementation.
RDRML chief executive Tony McCormick confirmed on Tuesday it had decided to relinquish the consent, describing it as “positive news” and adding they would make a further statement later.
