THE discovery of antibiotics and the need to develop “process fermentation” led to striking new developments in fermentation technology and to the coining of the term “Biotechnology”. Biotechnology is the use of microorganisms, cells or cell components to make a product. The field of Biotechnology is growing quickly. Its tools are powerful and its impact is increasingly evident in agriculture, environment, medicine and in daily life. This book deals with the various tools and techniques of Biotechnology. The subject matter is beautifully depicted in 8 units consisting of 28 chapters. Broadly, the various units cover tools and techniques of cell biology, separation of biomolecules and the physical method applied to understand the molecular structure of macromolecules. The other topics include radiochemical techniques, spectroscopic techniques and physical techniques for imaging biological structures, analytical techniques and tools of molecular biology with special emphasis on genetic engineering. Each chapter begins with a chapter outline and an introduction. The entire chapter contains a historical layout of discoveries and development in that field of biotechnology. Each chapter in this book is meticulously designed and well illustrated to make the understanding of the subject easy. This book combines the best of the theoretical aspects as well as some of the practical methodology. The book promises to be a complete book on tools and techniques of Biotechnology for the undergraduate and postgraduate programme, particularly for the students of Biotechnology including Microbiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, Botany, Zoology and other allied sciences.
