Ordlista

✓BIOTEKNIK

Bioteknik innebär att använda mikroorganismer för att tillverka ämnen vi behöver (som läkemedel och miljövänliga ersättningar för kemikalier) samt bryta ner ämnen vi vill avlägsna; allt från fett och smuts till oljespill, avloppsvatten och giftiga ämnen i mark och vatten.

✓BIOTEKNOLOGISK RENGÖRING

Den biologiska rengöringsmetoden skiljer sig radikalt från den kemiska. Med hjälp av kemiska rengöringsmedel kan vi utplåna alla livsformer - vänner som fiender. Det skapar ett tillfälligt biologiskt tomrum, där bakterier snabbt etablerar sig igen.
Rengöring med bakterier, Pure Effects metod, innebär att en utvald och gynnsam bakterieflora ersätter den som uppkommit slumpmässigt. Pure Effects bakterier konkurrerar sedan effektivt ut de oönskade, vilket förlänger effekten av den biologiska rengöringen.

✓ENZYMER

Enzymer är högspecialiserade ämnen som tillverkas av alla levande varelser. De är absolut nödvändiga för att specifika, biokemiska reaktioner ska kunna äga rum i låg temperatur, utan tillförsel av energi, exempelvis inuti kroppen. I tvätt- och rengöringsmedel används enzymer specialiserade på att bryta ner fett, protein, kolhydrater och annat organiskt avfall.

✓FERMERNTATIONSEXTRAKT

Ett fermentationsextrakt innehåller enzymer och utgör basen i våra rengöringsprodukter. Fermentationsextraktet består av fermenterande bakterier och de enzymer de tillverkar. Enzymerna är specifikt utvalda för våra olika produkter och deras användningsområde.

✓ENZYMATISK HYDROLYS

Enzymatisk hydrolys är en process där specialiserade enzymer sönderdelar större molekyler till sina beståndsdelar med hjälp av vattenmolekyler. Våra bakterier klipper sönder fettmolekyler (triglycerider), till glycerol och fria fettsyror, vilket gör dem lättlösliga. och enklare för våra nyttobakterier att bryta ner och förbruka.

✓PROBIOTISK

Probiotiska bakterier är levande bakterier med gynnsam verkan - inte minst i vår kropp. Deras aktivitet hindrar bland annat sjukdomsalstrande bakteriers tillväxt.

✓MIKROBIOM

Termen “mikrobiom” används för att avgränsa och beskriva ett specifikt mikrobiellt ekosystem - det vill säga ett ekosystem som består av mikroorganismer. Dessa ekosystem i miniatyr lyder dock under samma lagar som alla andra ekosystem på jorden. Organismer konkurrerar om resurser, samarbetar i nätverk eller bekrigar varandra - och den som mest framgångsrikt lyckas anpassa sig till den omgivande miljön kommer att överleva, föröka sig och dominera.

✓BAKTERIER

Bakterier är mikroorganismer, det vill säga encelliga livsformer. Vår relation till dem är komplicerad, eftersom vi vet att vissa av dem orsakar sjukdomar. Men vi vet också att bakterier är livsnödvändiga både i naturen och i kroppen. För människan kan de vara både vänner och fiender. Våra “vänner” kan förmås att utföra en mängd olika slags nyttiga tjänster - det vi kallar bioteknik. Vi på Pure Effect använder oss av gynnsamma bakteriers förmåga att bryta ner smuts och ta bort lukt, samt deras förmåga att konkurrera ut eller bekämpa oönskade bakterier.

Allt liv på jorden kan indelas i tre stora, övergripande kategorier (domäner), baserade på genetiska data. Dessa domäner utgörs av Bacteria, Archaea och Eukaryota. Bakterier har följaktligen en hel domän för sig själva - ett vidsträckt rike som innehåller oändlig variation och mångfald. Alla bakterier har dock vissa gemensamma egenskaper; bland annat saknar de cellkärna. https://artfakta.se/taxa/5000052/information

Domänen Archaea (arkéer) innehåller också bara encelliga organismer. De saknar cellkärna, men utan att vara släkt med bakterier. länk: https://artfakta.se/taxa/5000082/information

Domänen Eukaryota kännetecknas av en cellkärna, men består även den till stor del av mikroorganismer. Men i detta rike återfinns även undantaget: flercelliga livsformer; det synliga “Livet på Jorden” - inklusive vi själva. https://www.genteknik.se/ordlista/eukaryot/

✓MIKROORGANISMER (mikrober)

Mikroorganismer är mycket små, encelliga livsformer som inte kan ses med blotta ögat. “Mikroorganismer” eller “mikrober” är samlingsnamn för bland annat bakterier, jäst, mikroalger, plankton och mögel. Dessa osynliga livsformer existerar i alla miljöer på jorden och spelar en viktig roll i samtliga ekosystem. De utgör den ursprungliga kraft som driver kretsloppen i naturen och en stor mängd arter (främst bakterier) är livsnödvändiga i vår egen kropp.
