Essay / The Effects of Biotechnology - 1213
Effects of BiotechnologyBiotechnology is a new and emerging interdisciplinary branch of biology and chemistry. It is mainly associated with research and development. This branch is a combination of life sciences and technology. In the middle of the 20th century, basic research was carried out in this field and in agriculture and it is now developing very rapidly due to the current global food security. This branch was launched with the innovation of fermentative microorganisms by Louis Pasteur - the father of biotechnology. Many years ago, people used biotechnology but were limited by resources and new technologies. They produced wines, beers and cheeses without giving an official name of “biotechnology”. Today, many countries invest a lot of money in medical research to find cures for different diseases and solve environmental problems. Many pharmaceutical, therapeutic, and chemical companies such as BASF, Chelsea, and Endo are centrally located in Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as a variety of manufacturing and research companies located in the Research Triangle area. These companies not only create local jobs and focus on different sectors of the field, but how do they help our society from a medical and environmental perspective. I want to educate the reader about the different applications of biotechnology and the effects on the environment. Charlney, AK “Mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis in insects.” » Mushroom biotechnology to improve plant growth. Ed. Lumsden, RD and JM Whipps. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1989. 85-126. Print. Both the article and the book discuss the use of mushrooms to enhance plant growth. It contains a lot of information on how we can use mushrooms in agriculture. Mushrooms are useful for plant growth. This co...... middle of paper ......never, type 1 diabetes and autoimmune diseases as well as to produce antibiotics and monoclonal antibodies. These two antibodies are very useful in treating many diseases. Biotechnology is the use of microorganisms in the processing and manufacturing industry. It uses living organisms and their components in agricultural, food, environmental and medical technologies. This requires an integrated use of biochemistry, microbiology and engineering sciences. There are different federations that work for biotechnology and help promote the use of this new innovative field for the benefit of the public and its environment. Focusing on this new emerging area of biotechnology can help our environment and focus on many unanswered questions, but at the same time, complexity such as questions of bioethics, security and bioterrorism remains rapid throughout our country, even all over the world..
