On Oct. 31, Marine Science and Technology Award Ceremony was hold in Nanjing. Natural Products & Oligosaccharide Engineering group of our institute was awarded the first prize due to their achievements in the field of “oligosaccharides agricultural agent development and application”.
Oligosaccharides derived from marine natural products have functions in defense induction and growth promotion of plants and animals. Natural Products & Oligosaccharide Engineering group has been focusing on R&D of natural oligosaccharide as agricultural agents.
They have successfully developed a green and cleaning oligosaccharide production process and production line. They have developed several oligosaccharides-based biopesticides and feed additives and obtained nine registration certificates. Their contributions also include the building up of products standards. Development of marine oligosaccharide biological agents is significant on the exploiting of marine biological resources, solving of food safety issues, environmental protection.
Marine Science and Technology Award was established by Chinese Society for Oceanography, Pacific Society of China, Chinese Society for Oceanology and Limnology, and managed by State Oceanic Administration, the People's Republic of China. The award is a national science and technology award for marine industry. It is established to award the team and individuals for their outstanding contributions in the field of marine scientific research, marine technological innovation and development, marine scientific and technological achievements application, and so on.(Text/ Photo WANG Wenxia)
