Bioprospecting involves systematically searching for useful products from biological resources like plants, microorganisms, and animals that can be developed and commercialized for societal benefit. It generally consists of four phases: sample collection, isolation and characterization of compounds, screening for potential uses, and product development and commercialization. Microbes, extremophiles, fungi, algae, and other organisms provide sources for bioprospecting and have led to discoveries like antibiotics, enzymes, bioplastics, and more. While bioprospecting has benefits, issues around benefit-sharing with indigenous groups and biopiracy must be addressed.

Vector in molecular gene cloning
Cloning vector - The molecular analysis of DNA has been made possible by the cloning of DNA. The two molecules that are required for cloning are the DNA to be cloned and a cloning vector.
A cloning vector is a small piece of DNA taken from a virus, a plasmid or the cell of a higher organism, that can be stably maintained in an organism and into which a foreign DNA fragment can be inserted for cloning purposes.
Most vectors are genetically engineered.
The cloning vector is chosen according to the size and type of DNA to be cloned.
The vector therefore contains features that allow for the convenient insertion or removal of DNA fragment in or out of the vector, for example by treating the vector and the foreign DNA with a restriction enzyme and then ligating the fragments together.
After a DNA fragment has been cloned into a cloning vector, it may be further subcloned into another vector designed for more specific use.
The drugs which are obtained from marine organisms are know as marine drugs. these marine drugs are used since ancient times. chines and japanes are very famous to use these resources. And interstingly,innumarable products derived from the marine organisms in several 'crude forms' have been widely used across the globe by the traditional practitioners for thousands of years.
The following presentation is only for quick reference. I would advise you to read the theoretical aspects of the respective topic and then use this presentation for your last minute revision. I hope it helps you..!!

Microbial biotechnology is the use of microorganisms to obtain an economically valuable product or activity at a commercial or large scale.
Like any other man-made technology, microbial biotechnology has both positive and negative effects on the environment.
Biotechnology may carry more risk than other scientific fields: microbes are tiny and difficult to detect, but the dangers are potentially vast.
The use of biotechnical methods—including genetically-engineered microorganisms—is indispensable for the manufacture of many products essential to mankind.
For better or for worse, it is the mankind's task to tackle the problems that are associated with the use of this technology, and which to a high degree are located in the field of unwanted environmental impacts.
The use of biotechnology should be restricted to enhancing the quality of life for plants, animals and human beings only. Anything beyond that is unnatural and highly disastrous to us.
Biotechnology being multidisciplinary subject has applications in different areas. Marine Biotechnology is the field dealing with the uses of marine organisms for human use.
Cyanobacteria as a Biofertilizer (BY- Ayushi).pptxAyushiKardam
Cyanobacteria, also known as “blue-green algae”.
They are aquatic and photosynthetic, that is, they live in the water, and can manufacture their own food. Because they are bacteria, they are quite small and usually unicellular, though they often grow in colonies large enough to see.
They are the most abundant group of organisms on the earth. They are autotrophic and found in a diverse environment, especially in the marine and freshwater.
waste water treatment through Algae and Cyanobacteriaiqraakbar8
Use of algae in wastewater treatment. Recently, algae have become significant organisms for biological purification of wastewater since they are able to accumulate plant nutrients, heavy metals, pesticides, organic and inorganic toxic substances and radioactive matters in their cells/bodies.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Bioprospecting
Bioprospecting is defined as a systematic and organized search
for useful products derived from bioresources including
plants, microorganisms, animals, etc., that can be developed
further for commercialization and overall benefits of the
society.
3. 3
Process of Bioprospecting
• As a process, it generally consists of four phases:
• Phase 1: on-site collection of samples
• Phase 2: isolation, charactisation and culture of specific
compounds
• Phase 3: screening for potential uses, such as
pharmaceutical or other uses
• Phase 4: product development and commercialisation,
including patenting, trials, sales and marketing.

Microbial Source For Bioprospecting
Microbial Metabolites Microbes from marine sources have a
rich potential of antimicrobial active principles for protecting
themselves from their predators
Due to the rich potential bioactive metabolites in the marine
microbes, it may be used as drugs directly or used as lead
structures for drug discovery
Nowadays the antibiotic resistance and problems increased
and alternative discovery needed.
6. 6
Extremophilic Origin
Psychrophiles, Thermopiles, Halophiles &
Alkaliphiles
Molecular Biology Taq DNA Polymerase- Thermus aquaticus Thermostable
restriction enzymes
Agro & Food Industry Thermophilic amylases and cellulases: Bakery, glucose and
fructose production Freezing protection Antifreeze proteins from psychrophiles
Pharmacological Industry
Biosurfactants: Glycolipids, lipopeptides, fatty acids, polymeric surfactants &
particulate natures
Bacteriocin: Ptoteinaceous nature had antibiotic activity
Liposomes: phospholipids for vaccine delivery
Polyhydroxybutyrate: Bioplastic
7. 7
Fungal Origin
Widely distributed in deep sea to polar ice covers, occur
in sediments, dead organic matter, driftwood, algae, corals
and sponges etc.
Huge potential for new natural products and an increased
number of new metabolites have become known over the
past years.
In hydrothermal sea ecosystem, unsuspected high
diversity of fungal species identified with novel secondary
metabolites recently
Vast source of diverse antimicrobial compounds mostly
inhibit Gram negative bacterial pathogens, HIV virus and
fungus.

ALGAL NATURAL PRODUCTS
Algae have a tremendous impact on the sustainability of the
marine ecosystem as being the primary producers and, therefore,
a food source for other marine organisms.
Microalgae synthesize bioactive molecules such as pigments
and lipids that exhibit health properties.
Types of Algae Seaweed:
Macro; benthic & muticellular algae
Microalgae: Diverse group of unicellular; occupy fresh, marine
& extreme environments

Algae produce oxygen in space
Chlorella and Euglena grown in photo bioreactor is used
to produce oxygen in the space for the Astronauts using
their waste and help them for long term expedition in
space NASA and many other space research station in
the world open opportunities for planktologist
12. 12
Algal Bioplastics
Typically, long chain polymers, present in the algae lipids are used
for making bioplastics Algae is attractive for bioplastics because
of its high growth rate and high protein content.
The plastics market is worth more than $400 billion and has grown
at an average of 3.5% per year over the last two decades.
13. 13
Algal Biogas Production
In a biogas reactor the substrates used are converted in several
reaction steps into biogas, consisting mainly of the components
CH4 and CO2
The biogas yield of plants is generally limited by the greater or
lesser proportion of lignocellulose, which is difficult to recycle.
However, the use of microalgae with a low lignocellulose
content, for example Chlorella vulgaris, Phaeodactylum
tricornutum and Spirulina platensis, permits an almost complete
utilization of the organic substance.

Merits Of Bioprospecting
Important phenomenon for new discovery of drugs.
Discovery of several life-saving drugs including anti-
neo plastic drugs.
Economical value of plants and living organisms for
pharmaceutical purposes is enormous and also to the host
country having indigenous species.
17. 17
Demerits Of Bioprospecting
The pharmaceutical companies cheat the local peoples
those who maintain the indigenous species, they don’t give
proper economical share to them.
When biodiversity or related knowledge is collected
without permission from the owners of these resources and
then patented, it is known as biopiracy.
Traditional or indigenous knowledge (IK).
