Edible genetically modified microorganisms and plants for improved health

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2001
The development of new strategies for the delivery of vaccine antigens or immune modulators to the mucosal tissue includes innovative approaches such as the use of genetically modified food microorganisms and plants. Even though the 'proof-of-concept' has recently been established for these two systems, key questions mainly related to efficacy and risk

Genetically Modified Microorganisms

2004
With the development of recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology, the metabolic potentials of microorganisms are being explored and harnessed in a variety of new ways. Today, genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs) have found applications in human health, agriculture, and bioremediation and in industries such as food, paper, and textiles ...

Genetically Modified Microorganisms (GMOs) for Bioremediation

2013
The increasing amount of pollutants in the environment is an alarming concern to the ecosystem. A number of organic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and pesticides, are resistant to degradation, which represent toxological threat to wildlife as well as human beings.

Application of Genetically-Modified Microorganisms in Agriculture

1992
More than a decade ago, promising results stimulated researchers to cherish great ambitions on the applications of genetically-modified micro-organisms because the molecular tools were available to understand and modify the functioning of the genome, however, few examples can be found.

Fate of genetically modified microorganisms in the corn rhizosphere

Current Microbiology, 1989
The fates of genetically modified (GM)Escherichia coli andPseudomonas putida in the corn rhizosphere were investigated. Under hydrophonic and sterile conditions, both bacteria grew well in the presence of root exudates used as a sole carbon source. The growth patterns of wild types and genetically modified strains ofE. coli andP.

Safety Assessment of Genetically Modified Microorganisms Applied in Meat Fermentations

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 1995
Summary The use of genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs) in food processing requires a thorough assessment of potential risks which may arise from their application. To follow a science based vertical approach, a strategy for experimental design of strains and the investigation of their effects on food was developed permitting a safety ...

Role of Genetically Modified Microorganisms in Heavy Metal Bioremediation

2017
Heavy metals are natural constituents of the earth’s crust. There is a significant alteration in the geochemical cycles and biological balance of these heavy metals due to various anthropogenic activities. These anthropogenic activities result in the release of bioavailable forms of various heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel, copper ...

The Release of Genetically Modified Microorganisms—REGEM 2

1992
If ripple effect is a measure of greatness in scientific discovery then GEMMOs have a lot going for them and this book dramatically illustrates the risks associated with advances being made by researchers to mobilize and control the power of the microorganism in the world's fight to perfect nature and fmd remedies for its imperfections. In the field of

Degradation of chloro‐ and methyl‐substituted benzoic acids by a genetically modified microorganism

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1996
Degradation of 3-chlorobenzoic acid (3CB), 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4CB), and 4-methylbenzoic acid (4MB) as single substrates (carbon sources) and as a substrate mixture were studied in batch and continuous culture using the genetically modified microorganism Pseudomonas sp. B13 FR1 SN45P.
