INTRODUCTION
WELCOME TO
BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biotechnology harnesses cellular
and biomolecular processes to
develop technologies and
products that help improve our
lives and the health of our planet.
We have used the biological
processes of microorganisms for
more than 6,000 years to make
useful food products, such as
bread and cheese, and to preserve
dairy products.

• Biotechnology is a technology based on biology

• It harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop


technologies and products that help improve our lives and
the health of our planet.
HISTORY OF
BIOTECHNOLOGY
02. Edward Jenner invented vaccines and when Alexander
Fleming discovered antibiotics, they were harnessing the
power of biotechnology. And, of course, modern
civilization would hardly be imaginable without the
fermentation processes that gave us beer, wine, and
cheese. When he coined the term in 1919, the
agriculturalist Karl Ereky described ‘biotechnology’

3.1 Biotechnology
Biotechnology had contributed a lot to modify the genes of
the organism known as Genetically Modified Organisms
such as Crops, Animals, Plants, Fungi, Bacteria, etc.
Genetically modified crops are formed by the
manipulation of DNA to introduce a new trait into the
crops.
Medicine
3.2 (Medicinal
Biotechnology)
This helps in the formation of genetically modified insulin
known as humulin. This helps in the treatment of a large
number of diabetes patients. It has also given rise to a
technique known as gene therapy. Gene therapy is a
technique to remove the genetic defect in an embryo or
child.
Aquaculture
3.3 Fisheries
It helps in improving the quality and quantity of fishes.
Through biotechnology, fishes are induced to breed via
gonadotropin-releasing hormone
Environment
3.4 (Environmental
biotechnology):
Is used in waste treatment and pollution prevention.
Environmental biotechnology can more efficiently clean
up many wastes than conventional methods and greatly
reduce our dependence on methods for land-based
disposal.
