Biotechnology
Biotechnology is the broad area of biology involving 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" (UN Convention on Biological Diversity , Art. 2). [1] Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the (related) fields of molecular biology , bio-engineering , biomedical engineering , biomanufacturing , molecular engineering , etc.

Biotechnology (sometimes shortened to " biotech ") is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering , technology , medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts. Biotechnology also utilizes these products for manufacturing purpose. Modern use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as well as cell- and tissue culture technologies. The concept encompasses a wide range of procedures (and history ) for modifying living organisms according to human purposes — going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants, and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization . By comparison to biotechnology, bioengineering is generally thought of as a related field with its emphasis more on higher systems approaches (not necessarily altering or using biological materials directly ) for interfacing with and utilizing living things.

Biotechnology is technology based on biology , agriculture , food science , and medicine . Modern use of the term usually refers to genetic engineering as well as cell- and tissue culture technologies. However, the concept encompasses a wider range and history of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization .

One section of biotechnology is the directed use of organisms by humans for production. The first application of biotechnology probably was the making of bread by using yeast , about 5,000 years ago. Today, biotechnology usually means the use of genetically altered microorganisms such as E. coli or yeast for producing substances like insulin or antibiotics . It can also refer to transgenic animals or plants , such as Bt corn . Naturally present bacteria are involved in the mining industry in bioleaching . |
