Plug and Play Tech Center has announced their 7th annual cohort and MicroMGx is one of them

Plug and Play Tech Center has announced their 7^th annual cohort for this year’s AgTech Accelerator ending with a 2-Day EXPO on June 14-15, in Topeka, Kansas. We are thrilled be working with one of the most active Venture Capital firms in the country.

“This program aims to bring global innovation by facilitating opportunities for business development, mentorship, as well as pilots and POCs between the selected startups and founding partners of the program OCP North America, Bremer Bank, American National, and Farm Credit Services of America.” (Source: https://www.plugandplaytechcenter.com/press/plug-and-play-north-dakota-accepts-12-startups-for-their-seventh-batch/)

Glossary of Terms

Actinobacteria

Actinobacteria is a phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with high guanine and cytosine content in their DNA. Although understood primarily as soil bacteria, they might be more abundant in freshwaters. Considered to be one of the most prolific producers of natural products.

Bacteria

Bacteria are single celled microbes. The cell structure is simpler than that of other organisms as there is no nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Instead their control centre containing the genetic information is contained in a single loop of DNA.

Biological Systems

A biological system is a complex network of biologically relevant entities. As biological organization spans several scales, examples of biological systems are populations of organisms, or on the organ- and tissue scale in mammals and other animals, the circulatory system, the respiratory system, the nervous system, etc.
On the micro- to the nanoscopic scale, examples of biological systems are cells, organelles, macromolecular complexes and regulatory pathways.

Compound

A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together.

Liquid Chromatography

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC; formerly referred to as high-pressure liquid chromatography), is a technique in analytical chemistry used to separate, identify, and quantify each component in a mixture. It relies on pumps to pass a pressurized liquid solvent containing the sample mixture through a column filled with a solid adsorbent material.

Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry (MS) is an analytical chemistry technique that helps identify the amount and type of chemicals present in a sample by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio and abundance of gas-phase ions.

Metabolites

Metabolites are the intermediates and products of metabolism. The term metabolite is usually restricted to small molecules. Metabolites have various functions, including fuel, structure, signaling, stimulatory and inhibitory effects on enzymes, catalytic activity of their own (usually as a cofactor to an enzyme), defense, and interactions with other organisms (e.g. pigments, odorants, and pheromones).
