Initial studies examining the function of siderophores in the rhizosphere have focused on practical problems related to agricultural biotechnology. Early research suggested the involvement of siderophores in plant disease suppression by certain root-colonizing pseudomonads (2). Since then, it has become apparent that siderophore-mediated interactions are only part of the story of how microor-...

Academia should broaden the knowledge base relevant to industrial bioprocesses and use results of biotechnology research in health and agriculture to seek discoveries in bioprocessing. 

Polymer gels have found wide applications in various fields medicine, the nutritive and petrochemical industries, agriculture, biotechnology, etc. They are also used in scientific research for example, in the separation and extraction of natural macromolecules such as DNA and proteins.

Indirectly, this movement has also led to the development of agricultural biotechnology, a field that focuses on altering crop plants to reduce the need for pesticide applications. This includes research to develop plants that produce their own natural pesticide as well as crop plants that are resistant to synthetic pesticides. Plantings of bioengineered crops have rapidly increased in recent years and a majority of some crops grown in the United States are products of this technology.
