The exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc.
Advantages of Biotechnology
*Improvement in crop yields and selectivity in desired traits in plants/fruit & vegetables. This is necessary in countries where food production is very low.
*Developing vaccines for preventable diseases. Targeted therapy for cancer treatment, Nano robots for cleaning plaque, for drug delivery for specific body parts is being studied.
*Improvement in processes used in the industry. For example, using enzymes instead of chemicals makes the process ecofriendly and hence, less carbon footprint.
*Producing energy efficient fuels and energy sources. Read about the microbial fuel cell.
*Increased Food safety with anti-microbial packaging, detection methods for contamination, avoiding food wastage by various techniques.
*Another interesting advantage is, use of microbes for cleaning up oil spills, for bioremediation purposes
