Biotechnology
is the branch of engineering Science in which
biological science is used to study the relation
between workers and their environment. It is the
application of biological organisms, systems or
processes to manufacturing industries
It is the
Integration of Biochemistry, Microbiology, and
Engineering sciences. There is a possibility to
Input our human art, knowledge and ability to
the use of organisms or parts of organisms to
produce certain products useful for mankind.
There is also the possibility to use techniques
for the improvement of the characteristics of
economically important plants and animals and
for the development of micro-organisms to act on
the environment. This can be done by…………
Bioengineering which is the science upon which
all Biotechnological applications are based.
With the development of new approaches and
modern techniques, traditional biotechnology
industries are also acquiring new horizons
enabling them to improve the quality of their
products and increase the productivity of their
systems. Biotechnology combines disciplines like
genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry,
embryology and cell biology, which are in turn
linked to practical disciplines like chemical
engineering, information technology, and
robotics. Biotechnology is one of the most
exciting new sciences of this century. The
discovery that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the
carrier of the genetic code for any form of
life, can be transferred into any other form of
life opens the door to a multitude of
possibilities for genetically modified plants,
animals and microbes not found on earth until
now.
