[pic] What does biotechnology mean? A general description of biotechnology is using living things to create products or to do tasks for human beings. Biotechnology is the practice of using plants, animals and micro-organisms such as bacteria, as well as biological processes - such as the ripening of fruit or the bacteria that break down compost - to some benefit. For example, biotechnology is used in industry, medicine and agriculture to produce foods, medicines, and test for diseases and

Ali Ahmad BIO 2710 Wed 12:30PM – 3:30PM Unknown 6: Micrococcus Luteus Introduction: This lab requires us to learn about cultural, morphological and biochemical characteristics that are used in identifying bacteria. These characteristics and unique aspects can be observed by learning and using the various different tests and techniques, which is the main purpose here, and can help pinpoint the identity of the unknown organism. Each student will receive a slant containing one species

resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide), or improving the nutrient profile of the crop. Examples in nonfood crops include production of pharmaceutical agents, biofuels, and other industrially useful goods, as well as for bioremediation. Farmers have widely adopted GM technology. Between 1996 and 2013, the total surface area of land cultivated with GM crops increased by a factor of 100, from 17,000 square kilometers (4,200,000 acres) to 1,750,000 km2 (432 million acres).10%

Our project specifically focused on the DNA sequence analysis of the genes in duckweed and how those genes fit into bioremediation. As an intimidated and shy freshman with a strong yearning to be part of the science community at my school, decided to join the intensive program with barely any knowledge about biology. It didn't seem like a smart move at the time, but I'm glad

What is Microbiology? Microbiology is the study of organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye. Originally, emphasis was placed on harmful micro organisms which cause disease or spoilage of beverages and food, but it is now recognized that many microbes have essential roles in our ecosystem or can be used to accomplish beneficial tasks. Human history is full of examples of major devastations caused by bacteria and viruses. Some of these historically important diseases still occur, such tuberculosis
