II. Biotechnology
We are also exploring the industrial application of biochemical processes
1. Biomining: the commercial extraction of valuable metals (Ni, Cu, Co, Ti, Au) from mine tailings.
2. Commercial production of metabolic enzymes/antibodies.
3. Diagnostic kits to monitor metabolic markers.
4. Biofuels:
plant waste -> ethanol, energy
municipal waste -> methane
5. Biofouling: prevent fuel deterioration
