White Biotechnology: Transforming Industry and Sustainability
White biotechnology, also known as industrial biotechnology, is revolutionizing the way industries produce chemicals, materials, and energy. Unlike traditional chemical processes that often rely on non-renewable resources and harsh conditions, white biotechnology leverages biological systems—such as enzymes, microorganisms, and cells—to create products in a more sustainable and efficient manner. This approach not only reduces the environmental footprint of industrial processes but also opens up new possibilities for innovation across multiple sectors.
At its core, white biotechnology relies on the natural abilities of microorganisms and enzymes to catalyze specific reactions. For instance, certain bacteria and fungi can break down complex compounds into simpler, valuable molecules that are used in manufacturing. Enzymes, as biocatalysts, are capable of performing chemical transformations under mild conditions, which reduces energy consumption and minimizes the use of toxic chemicals. These processes can replace traditional synthetic methods, making industries more eco-friendly and…
