Biotechnology - Applications

BioTechnology has applications in four major industrial areas including health care crop production and agriculture non food uses of crops . biodegradable plastics vegetable oil biofuels and environmental uses. For example one application of biotechnology is the directed use of organisms for the manufacture of organic products examples include beer and milk products. Another example is using naturally present bacteria by the mining industry in bioleaching.

Biotechnology is also used to recycle treat waste clean up sites contaminated by industrial activities bioremediation and also Biotechnology to produce biological weapons.Red biotechnology is applied to medical processes. Some examples are the designing of organisms to produce antibiotics and the engineering of genetic cures through genomic manipulation.

White biotechnology also known as industrial biotechnology is biotechnology applied to industrial processes. An example is the designing of an organism to produce a useful chemical. Another example is the using of enzymes as industrial catalysts to either produce valuable chemicals or destroy hazardouspolluting chemicals examples using oxidoreducatses are given in Feng Applications of oxidoreductases Recent progress Ind.
