BIOTECHNOLOGY
This area of research includes the use of biological processes, living cells, or products derived from
organisms or systems intended to obtain and improve useful products for several applications.
It develops from a multidisciplinary approach which involves Biology, Medicine, Chemistry,
Engineering, Immunology, Physics, Ecology, Agronomy, Biochemistry, Genetics, Virology and
others. The wide range of expected applications extends from Medicine, Pharmacy and Food, to
sewage treatment or Agriculture, among other uses.
In the course of history some biotechnological processes have been discovered and applied, for
example, the use of microorganisms helping the fermentation process in alcoholic drinks and bread,
or those that help in the development and selection of a variety of vegetables and animals with
agricultural or farming interest.
Nowadays, according with their common characteristics or utilities, there is a classification system
of biotechnological uses in five basic groups identified by a distinctive color code:
Red
Biotechnology
Red Biotechnology refers to that applied in medicine: generation of vaccines and antibiotics,
development of new drugs, new methods of diagnosis, regenerative therapies and cure of
illness by genetic manipulation. Some remarkable examples are: cellular and gene therapy
and drugs based on biological molecules like therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.
Research lines at the UVIGO:
- VACCINES.
- DEVELOPMENT OF THERAPEUTIC MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES.
- NEW ORTHOPAEDICAL IMPLANTS IMPROVED WITH BIOACTIVE PARTICLES PROCESED BY
LASER.
- NEW METALLIC COMPOUNDS WITH BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY.
- ANTIMICROBIAL / ANTITUMORAL COMPOUNDS.
White
Biotechnology
White Biotechnology, also called industrial biotechnology. It focuses on efficiently
improve the design of processes and products in a way that they either consume less
energy or are less polluting, reducing the waste during their production. Some examples
are the utilization of microorganisms for chemical products in manufacturing, the design
and production of new materials of daily use (like textile or biodegradable plastics), or the
development of new sustainable sources of energy (like biofuel).
Research lines at the UVIGO:
- LIPASE, AMYLASE AND PROTEASE PRODUCTION. PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL USING
THERMOPHILIC LIPASES.
- NEW BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES FOR FOOD INDUSTRY.
- BIOSENSORS.
- BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS
- BIOFUELS

Gray
Biotechnology
Gray Biotechnology covers the direct applications on the environment. They can be
divided in two groups of uses:
- Biodiversity maintenance by genetic analysis of populations or species part of
ecosystems, as well as their comparison and cataloguing. It also includes cloning
techniques for species preservation and the utilization of genome storage technologies.
- Contaminants disposal or bioremediation using microorganisms and vegetable
species to clean polluted places by the isolation and the elimination of different
substances like hydrocarbon or heavy metals.
Research lines at the UVIGO:
- VERMICOMPOSTING OF ORGANIC WASTES.
- BIOCONVERSION OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC MATERIALS.
- PHYLOGENOMIC AND PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS.
- GREEN CHEMISTRY FOR BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES.
Green
Biotechnology
Green Biotechnology covers the application in agriculture: creation of new vegetable
varieties with agricultural and farming interest, production of biopesticides and
biofertilizers, in vitro crops and plants cloning. It looks for solutions more respectful with
the environment than traditional methods of industrial agriculture.
The most famous example is the obtaining of transgenic plants, which has started with
an international social controversy. This kind of technology consists in inserting into the
selected plant original genes from another variety or another organism with three objectives:
- The development of resilient vegetable varieties, either able to grow in adverse
environmental conditions or resistant to illness or plagues.
- The development of varieties with better nutritional properties (rich in vitamins, for
example).
- The use of plants as biofactories to produce substances with biosanitary or medical
interest which can be easily purified and isolated for their industrial production.
It is expected that Green Biotechnology will produce more environment-friendly solutions
that traditional methods of industrial agriculture, as it avoids external applications of
pesticides, and it also can be used as an ecological tool to increase or maintain natural
resources like forests.
Research lines at the UVIGO:
- ALLELOPATHY: INTERACTION AMONG PLANT SPECIES. BIOHERBICIDE AND PLANT
PROTECTION SEARCH.
- AGROFOOD BIOTECHNOLOGICAL.
- PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY.
Blue
Biotechnology
Blue Biotechnology, also called marine biotechnology, includes uses related to marine
resources. Its development is in an early phase of research however, the expected
applications are multiple. Just to mention some of the sectors that will benefit from it:
aquaculture, health, cosmetics, agriculture and food.
Nowadays the commodities market with marine origin is the most popular, like hydrocolloids
and gelificants applied in food, health or purification. Several marker molecules or particles
from marine organism origins and with enzymatic activity are frequently applied in research
or diagnostic. Besides, biomaterials and agents with regenerative or pharmacological
activity with very interesting potential uses are now coming up.
Research lines at the UVIGO:
- ANALYTICAL PROTEOMICS.
- AQUACULTURE AND FISHERY GENETICS.
Other Transversal Research Lines at the UVIGO:
- BIOINFORMATIC TOOLS: GENOMICS AND PROTEOMICS
- BIOSTATISTICS
- COMPUTATIONAL GENOMICS
- BIOENGINEERING
- BIOECONOMY
