Biobricks are standardized genetic parts of bacteria used as building blocks in biotechnological processes, such as drug production or agricultural improvement (1). The process of biobricks burning is crucial for making these genetically modified organisms available on a large industrial scale. In the 90s, Genentech developed Biobricks for producing human insulin, an essential diabetes treatment (2).
The importance of biobricks burning lies in enabling mass production of genetically engineered organisms to develop and disseminate biotechnological products and services (3). "Biobricks burning is a crucial step in biotechnology for making industrially relevant processes accessible," says Professor Dr. Ingrid Müller, Institute for Biotechnology.
A new perspective: Biobricks burning as a climate-friendly alternative
As the significance of climate protection grows, so does biotechnology’s role in shaping a sustainable future. Biobricks burning is an example of how biotechnological processes can become more climate-friendly (3).
