Overview |
Bio processing technology |
It uses living cells (mostly yeast and bacteria) or the molecular component (mostly enzyme) to manufacture desired products like wine, beer, bread etc. |
Cell culture |
It is the technology of growing cells outside of living organisms. |
Plant cell culture |
a) It is an essential step in creating transgenic crops (GM crop). Plant cell culture is also an important source of compound used as flavours, colours, aromas by food processing industry. |
Animal cell culture |
b) In this egg and sperm taken from genetically superior cows and bulls are united in the lab and the resulting embryo grown in culture before being implanted in surrogate cow. |
Recombinant DNA tech |
Recombinant DNA means joining or recombining of two pieces of DNA from two different sources. RDT have various uses like in research application, creation of genetically modified varieties of plants and animals. |
cloning |
Molecular or gene cloning is the process of creating genetically identical DNA molecule. All applications in biotechnology from drug discovery to development to production of transgenic crop depends on gene cloning. |
Protein engineering |
The technology involves improvement of existing proteins such as enzymes and antibodies and cell receptors and to create proteins not found in nature. |
Biosensors |
Biosensors are detecting devices that rely on the specific nature of cells and molecules to identify and measure substances at extremely low concentration. |
Micro Biology |
It is the study of microorganisms and their effect on humans. |
Immunology |
It is the study of body’s defence mechanism. |
Bioinformatics |
It is the study of the management of biological information with the help of computer technology. |
