SYN-E3272-5 Maize Type Identification and Quantity Analysis

The genetically modified corn strain SYN-E3272-5 has been genetically modified to express a thermostable α-amylase enzyme for use in dry ground fuel ethanol production in the USA. This work is the first step in producing ethanol from plants. Amylases used for ethanol production need to operate at high temperatures and low calcium concentrations. Plants such as maize naturally contain amylases, but these are destroyed when maize is subjected to the high processing temperatures required for ethanol production, necessitating the addition of microbially produced amylase preparations. The genetically modified maize strain SYN-E3272-5 is a maize strain that expresses a highly heat stable amylase.

This new transgenic maize strain, designated SYN-E3272-5 It relates to seeds of maize plants containing the SYN-E3272-5 genotype and methods of producing a maize plant by crossing maize plants with itself or another maize variety. In advanced laboratories, event-specific unidirectional and bidirectional qualitative and quantitative PCR systems are applied. For the detection of genetically modified corn strain SYN-E3272-5 and products derived from it test methods are available.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. SYN-E3272-5 corn type determination and quantity analysis services are among the numerous tests performed in this context.
