Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use"
2. Biotechnology is the use of living
systems and organisms to develop or
make products.
any technological application that uses
biological systems, living organisms or
derivatives thereof, to make or modify
products or processes for specific use
For thousands of years, humankind has
used biotechnology in agriculture, food
production, and medicine.
BIOTECHNOLOGY
3. BRANCHES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
A series of derived terms have been coined to identify several branches of
biotechnology:
Bioinformatics - is an interdisciplinary field which addresses biological problems
using computational techniques, and makes the rapid organization as well as analysis
of biological data possible.
Blue biotechnology - is a term that has been used to describe the marine and
aquatic applications of biotechnology, but its use is relatively rare.
Green biotechnology - is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes.
Red biotechnology is applied to medical processes.
White biotechnology-also known as industrial biotechnology, is biotechnology
applied to industrial processes.
4. IMPORTANCE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
A wide variety of microorganisms
are now being employed as tools in
biotechnology to produce useful
products or services.
Raw materials can be converted to
useful finished products.
Biotechnologically produced
organic acids like citric acid, acetic
acid, gluconic acid, D-Lactic acid,
fumaric acid, etc. also has very high
market value.
Biotechnology is widely used in
pharmacy to create more efficient
and less expensive drugs.
7. FORENSIC APPLICATIONS
DNA fingerprinting is the classic
example of forensic applications.
It is used in law enforcement and
cyber investigation.
It was used in 1987 in England.
It is used to identify human remains
It is also used for paternity test.
It is also used to identify species
remains.
8. MODERN BIOTECHNOLOGY
In the modern biotechnology people
attempt can produce products
effectively and efficiently.
It is based on manipulation or DNA
engineering.
It is not only limited to food industry
it covers many fields.
It covers genetic engineering,
pollution management , creation of
energy source
9. There are wide varieties of
products that the biotechnology has
produced.
More than 65% of biotech
company in USA are involved in
pharmaceuticals.
Genetic developed humulin
(human insulin) to treat diabetes.
It was the first biotech drug the
FDA approved.
