The document discusses three types of biotechnology: microbial, industrial, and environmental. Microbial biotechnology uses microorganisms to make or modify products like foods, diagnostics, and drugs. Industrial biotechnology applies biotechnology to sustainably produce chemicals, materials, and fuels from renewable sources using cells and enzymes. Environmental biotechnology applies biological and chemical principles to study interactions between microbes and their environment to prevent and remediate pollution.

2. Microbial: Utilization of living organisms for human benefit.
Applications: Baking and brewing, diagnostics and drugs, clean
energy and chemicals, and the human microbiome project.
Industrial: Modern use and application of biotechnology for
the sustainable processing and production of chemicals,
materials and fuels from renewable sources, using living cells
and/or their enzymes.
Environmental: Application of biological, chemical, and physical
principles to study interactions between microbial cells and their
environment.
Applications: prevention of environmental pollution and
remediation of polluted environments.

3. Microbial Biotechnology

4. Microbial biotechnology is defined as
any technological application that uses
microbiological systems, microbial
organisms, or derivatives thereof, to
make or modify products or processes
for specific use.

5. Applications Microbial Biotechnology

9. Industrial Biotechnology

10. • Industrial biotechnology includes modern
application of biotechnology for sustainable
processing and production of chemical products,
materials and fuels.
• Industrial biotechnology can produce the same
results as the petrochemical industry, but using
biological catalysts instead

13. Role of Enzymes in Industry

14. Environmental Biotechnology

15. • Environmental biotechnology in
particular is the application of processes
for the protection and restoration of the
quality of the environment.
• Environmental biotechnology can be used
to detect, prevent and remediate the
emission of pollutants into the
environment in a number of ways.
