Introduction of biotechnoloy....

What is the biotechnology. biotechnology is a new branch of science.its a combination of zoology and botany. botany is a related to the plants information and zoology is related to the animal information.but in biotechnology,give information related to both and too micro information not macro.            

biotechnology is a technology that involve the use of living organisms.biotechnology is mainly used in agriculture,food,science,and medicine.In biotechnology living organisms are used to make useful chemicals and products or to perform an industrial task.an example of biotechnology is use of the fermentation reaction in yeast to make beer and other alcoholic drinks.another example is the use of carbon dioxide produced by yeast to make bread rise.

Biotechnology is the use of biological processes,organisms or system to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life.the earliest biotechnologist were farmers who developed improved species of plants and animals by cross penalization or cross breeding.In recent years, biotechnology has expanded in sophistication, scope and applicability.                    

the science of biotechnology can be broken down into sub discipline  called red,white,green and blue.red biotechnology involves medical processes such as getting organism to produce new drugs,or using  stem cells to regenerate damaged human tissues and perhaps re-grow entire organs.white(also called Gray) biotechnology involves industrial processes such as the production of new chemicals or the development of new fuels for vehicles.               

Green biotechnology applies to agriculture and involves such processes as the development of past resistant grains or the accelerated evolution of disease resistant animals blue biotechnology, rarely mentioned, encompasses, such as controlling the proliferation of noxious water-borne organisms.

History of biotechnology  the term biotechnology was  used for the first time by karlErkey  1919.a Hungarian agricultural engineer,first used the word biotechnology.1928-Alexander Fleming notices that a certain mould could stop the duplication of bacteria,leading to the antibiotic: penicillin ''                                                                                                                                                                    biotechnology is not limited of few branches of biology.agriculture is a field which is an important beneficial of biotechnology. the process and methods of agriculture have been redefined by modern mechanical and  biological science since its origin green revolution was a wide application of this.through biotechnology farmers were able  to choose the best needed crops. having the good yields to produce enough  food for people.specific organism and by products  were used for various needs by alternative of genes,hybrid varieties ere produced according our requirements. the production of hybrid varieties  was the first application of biotechnology-in agriculture field.various industrially  important  process like  fermentation were made easier through  biotechnology.by the twenties century scientists understood the signification of microbiology and in the manufacture of specific products.In 1917,chaim  weizmann first used a pure microbiological technique in an industrial process.                                                                                                                                                                     Biotechnology-any use of biological organism or processes in industrial,medical,agriculture and environmental engineering. zymotechnology  is the old term for the study of the process of fermentation in yeast and bacteria in the production of food and beverage such as bread,cheese,tofu,beer,wine,sake,nato,etc.Of course,these practise go to back to ancient time.however in the 19th century with the rise of big industries particularly in Britain and German,techno scientists began  to isolate the micro-organism involved and to study them.With the technique of scientific biology of the 19th century,it became possible to isolated pure strands of  the various yeast and molds  involved in these processes,so as to standardize the  mass production of these products.In the early past of the 20th century,techno scientists began to see zymotcehnology  as included  in the applied sciences analogously to chemistry they established institution  for collecting  micro organism.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

 some recent development-

 1-In 2003,TK-1(GloFish) went on sale in taiwan,as the first genetically modified pet.

 2-In 2006,the artist stalare had an ear grown in a vat and grafted  onto his arm.

 3-In 2009,Sasaki and Okana production transgenic  marmosets that glow green in ultraviolet light and pass the trait offspring.

 4-In 2010,scientists created malaria-resistant mosquitoes.

 5-In 2010,the croig venter  institute product an artificial micro organism.    

what is the branches of biotechnology.

                                                                   Many areas of biotechnology have arisen through the interaction between various part of biology and engineering,biophysics,cell biology,colloid chemistry,embryology,ecology,genetics,immunology,molecular biology,medical chemistry,pharmacology,polymer chemistry,thermo-chemistry and virology.the modern biotechnology has developed several technologies ex-tracting the basic knowledge from biology.

                                                                   

Biotechnology in India

                                     India is a most of the developing countries,the recombinant DNA technology has become the major thrusts.In 1982, government of India set up an official agency. "the National Biotechnology board" (NBTB) which started functioning under the department of Science and Technology(DST). In 1986,NBTB was replaced with a full-fledged department,the department of  Biotechnology (DBT),under the ministry of science and technology for  planning,promotion and coordination of various biotechnological programmes.

                  There are over 30 companies in India which are producing the modern biotech product such as Wipro,reliance, life science,pennetia biotech Ltd.
