3. Biotechnology
 Biotechnology is technology that utilizes
biological systems, living organisms or parts of
this to develop or create different products.
 Example
 Brewing and baking bread are examples of
processes that fall within the concept of
biotechnology (use of yeast (= living
organism) to produce the desired product).

5. Explanation
 The wide concept of "biotech" or "biotechnology"
encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying
living organisms according to human purposes, going
back to domestication of animals, cultivation of the
plants, and "improvements" to these through breeding
programs that employ artificial
selection and hybridization. Modern usage also
includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue
culture technologies.

6. History of Biotechnology

7. History of Biotechnology
 The term "biotechnology" was coined in 1919 by Karl
Ereky, an Hungarian engineer
 Traditional biotechnology has been used for
thousands of years to produce improved food and
health care products. Today, modern biotechnology
enables us to develop improved products more safely
and more rapidly than ever before.

8. Periods of Biotechnology History:
 Pre- 1800: Early applications and speculation
 1800-1900: Significant advances in basic
understanding
 1900-1953: Genetics
 1953- 1976: DNA research, science explodes
 1977- present: modern biotechnology

9. Types of Biotechnology
 Microbial Biotechnology
 Agricultural Biotechnology
 Animal Biotechnology
 Forensic Biotechnology
 Bioremediation
 Aquatic Biotechnology
 Medical Biotechnology

10. Microbial Biotechnology
 – manipulation of microorganisms such as yeast and
bacteria
 Create better enzymes.
 More efficient decontamination processes for
industrial waste product removal.
 used to clone and produce large amounts of important
proteins used in human medicin.

11. Agricultural Biotechnology
 plants more environmentally friendly that yield more
per acre "genetically engineered#
 Resistance to diseases and insects
 Foods with higher protein or vitamin content
 Drugs developed and grown as plant products
 These better plants ultimately reduce production costs
to help feed the growing world population

12. Animal Biotechnology
 Animals as a source of medically valuable proteins
 Antibodies
 transgenic animals

 Animals as important models in basic research
 gene 'nockout' eperiments
 design and testing of drugs and genetic therapies
 Animal cloning
 source of transplant organs

13. Forensic Biotechnology
 Forensic science is a vital instrument for the detection or
investigation of crime and the administration of justice by
providing crucial information about the evidence found at
the crime scene. Forensic biotechnology is an area of
medical science that experiences constant breakthrough
every now and then.
 Forensic analysis of biological evidence using
biotechnology methods is increasingly important in
criminal investigations. Analysis of proteins in blood
(serology), other body fluids and body tissues are some of
the traditional methods in forensic analysis.

14. Bioremediation
 Bioremediation is a branch
of biotechnology employing the use of living
organisms like microbes and bacteria to remove
contaminants, pollutants, and toxins from soil and
water. Bioremediation may be used to clean
up environmental problems such as oil spills, or
contaminated groundwater

15. Aquatic biotechnology
 Aquatic biotechnology is defined as the use of aquatic
organisms such as finfish, shellfish, marine bacteria, and
aquatic plants for biotechnology application.
 This discipline contributes to current or potential uses of
marine products in various areas, including the following:
 • Aquaculture
 • Therapeutics and medicines
 • Conservation of marine ecosystems
 • Aquatic animal health and seafood safety
 • Biomedical research

16. Medical Biotechnology
 The field of Medical Biotechnology includes research and development
of technology used in the medical, agricultural and pharmaceutical
industries. Medical biotechnology is the use of living cells and cell
materials to research and produce pharmaceutical and diagnostic
products that help treat and prevent human diseases. Most medical
biotechnologists work in academic or industrial settings. Medical
biotechnology is the use of living cells and cell materials to research
and produce pharmaceutical and diagnostic products that help treat
and prevent human diseases. Most medical biotechnologists work in
academic or industrial settings. In academic laboratories, these
professionals conduct experiments as part of medical research studies;
industrial biotechnologists work toward developing drugs or vaccines.
The medical biotechnology field has helped bring to market microbial
pesticides, insect-resistant crops, and environmental clean-up
techniques.
