Biotechnology deals with micro-organisms, plants or animal cells or may be their enzymes to produce products and processes useful to humans.
Now-a-days the scope of biotechnology is world-wide in many fields:
- Therapeutics
- Diagnostics
- Genetically modified crops for agriculture
- Processed food
- Bio-remediation
- Waste treatment
- Energy production
There are three major research areas in bio-technology:
- Providing the best catalyst in the form of improved organism usually a microbe or pure enzyme.
- Creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to act.
- Downstream processing technologies to purify the protein/organic compound.
