BIOTECHNOLOGY POLICYTHRUSTS THRUST 1 : Agricultural Biotechnology Development THRUST 2 : Healthcare Biotechnology Development THRUST 3 : Industrial Biotechnology Development THRUST 4 : R&D and Technology Acquisition THRUST 5 : Human Capital Development THRUST 6 : Financial Infrastructure THRUST 7 : Legislative and Regulatory Framework THRUST 8 : Strategic Development THRUST 9 : Government Support and Commitment

  4. Create new products, such as plant-based biodegradable plastics; • Replace petroleum-based feedstocks by processing biomass using biorefineries to generate electricity, transport fuels or chemicals;  • Modify and develop new industrial processes, such as by using enzymes to reduce the amount of harsh chemicals used in textiles and the pulp and paper industry; • Reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing; for example by treating industrial wastewater onsite using biological mediums such as microbes; • Provide energy savings by adding enzymes in detergents, allowing clothes to be washed in lower temperatures; and • Provide water savings through more efficient processes such as using enzymes to break down chemicals and reduce subsequent washing steps in the textile industry Industrial Biotechnology: applications

  5. Higher profits – lower costs (raw materials, process costs, investments, …) • Developing new products • Finding new uses for ag crops Economic • Creating new jobs and opportunities • Rural economic diversification and growth • Lower risk for workers (lower temp.) • Less negative perception Social Environment • Processes are carbon neutral – no contribution to global warming • Products and byproducts are in most cases biodegradable • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and emissions to water and air • Using renewable resources as feedstock help conserve fossil fuels INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY: IMPACT ON SUSTAINIBILITY

  6. products: Fuels/chemicals • process: wastewater treatment Industrial Biotechnology

  7. Microbes have been used in food sectors: beer and wine, bread (yeasts). • Making decontamination processes for industrial wastes product removal more efficient • Leaching of oil and minerals from the soil to increase mining efficiency • Also used to clone and produce batch amounts of important proteins used in human medicine including insulin and growth hormone. Microorganisms as Tools

  8. Animal, plant cells and microbes obtain energy from carbohydrates (glucose) using electrons from these sugar to create ATP. • ATP occurs in series. • 1st step is glycolysis: convert sugar molecule into 2 mol of pyruvates. • During the reaction, electrons are transferred from glucose to NAD+ producing NADH. Results in ATP production. • O2 is important in this electron transport process. • For anaerobes, they derived their energy from sugars in the absence of O2 FERMENTATION • Eg: alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation Fermentation

  9. Enzymes: increasing the speed of reaction by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. • Cheese making: using enzyme rennin • Eg: cellulase has been used widely in the industry. • In food industry: make animal food more digestible • Stone-washed jeans: the denim is treated with cellulases from T. reesei and A. niger. These microbes produce cellulase that can digest the cotton fibre softer fabric. • Enzyme subtilisin: isolated from B. subtilis used in laundry detergent- degrade the protein stains. • enzyme amylase: used to degrade starches for making corn syrup. Microbial enzymes

  10. The industrial Biotechnology sector is broad. • 3 main areas in Malaysia: - Biofuels - Biocatalyst - Fine and Specialty Chemicals Industrial Biotechnology: In Malaysia

  11. Biofuel represent an alternative fuel source to non-renewable petroleum-based fuels. • ‘First-generation' or conventional biofuels are biofuels made from sugar, starch, and vegetable oil. Biofuel

  12. 2nd generation biofuels: using lignocellulosic materials from wheat straw, sugarcane baggase, corn husks, discarded rice hulls and trees. • Breaking the lignocellulose into cellulose and hemicellulose using enzyme from fungi  fermentable sugars/glucose • Glucose will be used by yeasts to produce ethanol.

  13. Principle Biotechnology Generated Biofuels

  14. Bioethanol are not currently produced in Malaysia. • However initiatives are underway to develop ethanol and other biofuels from non food agricultural crop sources such as Jatrophacurcas and oil palm based (trunks, fronds, empty fruit bunch, shell and fiber)

  15. Potential Crops in Biofuel Production

  16. Production of Biodiesel

  17. Biogas production using anaerobic digestion (oxygen free) is a biological treatment process to reduce odor, produce energy and improve the storage and handling characteristics of manure. • Anaerobic digestion is the natural breakdown of organic materials into methane and carbon dioxide gas and fertiliser.  This process takes place naturally, or in an anaerobic digester. • A typical anaerobic digester is a sealed vessel, or series of vessels, in which bacteria act without oxygen.  The organic material contents need to be fully mixed and warmed, usually to blood temperature. • Biogas is the name given to the mixture of gases formed during the anaerobic digestion of organic wastes. Biogas Production

  18. Biocatalyst are proteins that act to accelerate chemical reactions by bringing chemical compound s involved in a reaction. • Biocatalysts must be produced by living organisms and are typically derived from plant, animal, or microbial sources Bio-Catalyst

  19. Malaysia’s biological diversity offers developers of novel biocatalyst a significant opportunity to isolate novel biocatalysts. • A variety of different biocatalyst have been isolated from Malaysian isolated microorganisms.

  20. Biocatalyst Isolated from Malaysian Microorganisms

  21. Production Process • Fermentation • Formulation • Recovery Novozymes Company Technologies in Enzyme Production

  22. Making microorganisms produce more enzymes. Novozymes is the world leader in developing new methods to optimize the amount of enzymes that microorganisms can produce. The result is cheaper products and faster delivery to their customers. Enzyme production: Fermentation

  23. Fermentation to produce industrial enzymes starts with a vial of dried or frozen microorganisms called a production strain. This production strain is selected to produce large amounts of the enzyme(s) of interest.

  24. Sterilization – A key facilitator in the production of enzymes • A key element of fermentation science is sterilization. In order to cultivate a particular production strain it is necessary to start by eliminating all the native microorganisms present in the raw materials and equipment. If this is not done satisfactorily, the wild organisms will quickly outnumber the production strain, and no production will occur. Sterilization can be achieved by heat and/or special filters.

  25. The cultivation process • The production strain is first cultivated in a small flask containing nutrients and agar. The flask is placed in an incubator that provides the optimal temperature for the previously frozen/dried cells to germinate.Once the flask is ready, the cells are transferred to a seed fermentor, which is a large tank containing previously sterilized raw materials and water known as the medium. Seed fermentation allows the cells to reproduce and adapt to the environment and nutrients that they will encounter later on.Following seed fermentation, the cells are transferred to a larger tank, the main fermentor, where temperature, pH, and dissolved O2 are carefully controlled to optimize enzyme production. Additional nutrients may be added to enhance productivity. When the main fermentation is complete, the mixture of cells, nutrients, and enzymes, referred to as the broth, is ready for filtration and purification.

  26. The purpose of the recovery process is to separate the enzyme from the biomass and to produce a solution that contains the enzyme at a purity that can be used for formulation of the final product. • ​ 2. Recovery

  27. The main factors that influence the design of an enzyme recovery process are: • 1.The properties of the production organism2. The characteristics of the enzyme 3. Product quality demands4. The type of product to be produced5. The environmental impact of the process

  28. Formulation of the enzymes is the third important process step after fermentation and recovery. • The nature of the enzyme protein is the starting point of all formulation work, and knowledge about parameters such as solubility and compatibility is indispensable. • A new enzyme molecule with excellent performance can fail in the market if the enzyme is not stable during transportation and storage. Formulation

  29. The industrial biotechnology sector is a key contributor to the production of vitamins, amino acids, and other biochemical such as lactic acid and glycerol Industrial Biotechnology: Fine & Specialty Chemicals

  30. Currently, the amino acids used in amino acid products are mainly manufactured by the fermentation method using natural materials, similar to yogurt, beer, vinegar, miso (bean paste), soy sauce, etc. • Coryneform bacteria Production of Amino Acid

  31. In 1989, kojic acid was first discovered as a natural by product from the Japanese mushroom. Since then it has been widely use as an effective skin lightening agent. Kojic acid works by blocking the production of skin melanin. Kojic Acid Production from Mushroom

  32. Production of PolyLacticAcid

  33. Production of single cell protein • Production of mushrooms Industrial Biotechnology: Microbial Biomass production

  34. Single-cell protein (SCP) typically refers to sources of mixed protein extracted from pure or mixed cultures of algae, yeasts, fungi or bacteria (grown on agricultural wastes) used as a substitute for protein-rich foods, in human and animal feeds. Single cell protein

  35. In mushroom production: solid-state fermentation is employed. Mushrooms
