Industry:Biotechnology
An environment or condition in which molecular oxygen is not available for chemical, physical or biological processes.
Industry:Biotechnology
An environmental or chemical agent characterized by its lethal or sub-lethal stress on growing plants, or portion thereof in culture. A selective agent is mainly used when selection of resistant or tolerant individuals is the research aim.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme bound tightly to the large sub-unit of the ribosome that catalyses the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during translation.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme encoded by a transposon gene and that catalyses the movement of a DNA sequence to a different site in a DNA molecule, by catalysing the excision of the transposon from one site and its insertion into a new chromosomal site.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme from bacteriophage-T4-infected cells, and that catalyses the joining of duplex DNA molecules and repairs nicks in DNA molecules. The enzyme requires that one of the DNA molecules has a 5´-phosphate group and that the other has a free 3´-hydroxyl group.
