Mini projects on secondary metabolite extraction!
Microbes are the richest source of many valuable enzymes and proteins. Many microorganisms produce secondary metabolites that are medicinally very important. It is a wise choice for students studying life sciences and biotechnology to opt for mini projects on secondary metabolite extraction. The mini project would involve the isolation of microorganisms, the upstream processing, fermentation and downstream processing techniques. Such mini projects can help you to gain hands on experience over a number of experimental techniques. Apart from that, your experiments could pave way for isolation of secondary metabolites which are totally new or which are of very high market value. Such mini projects can also help in spotting out microbes for large scale commercial production of specific secondary metabolites.
