Biotechnology concerns the practical application of organisms or their components. Historically biotechnology was an art, involved in the production of wines, beers and cheese. Nowadays it involves a series of advanced technologies spanning biology, chemistry, and process engineering. In recent years innovations involving genetic engineering and cryopreservation have had a major impact on biotechnology. Its applications are diverse, including the production of new drugs, transgenic organisms and biological fuels, gene therapy and clearing up pollution.
This book embodies ten chapters, the language of the text is simple and the subject matter is fully illustrated. The book includes the most recent advances in molecular biology with special emphasis on topics like molecular technique, animal biotechnology, cryopreservation, crop production through tissue culture, fermentation technology, single cell protein etc. The other topics cover recent advances in gene biotechnology; enormous potential to genetical engineering and recombinant DNA technology and Bioinformatics.
The book will be useful to biotechnologists, biologists, agriculture scientists, researchers and teachers.
