- The applications of biotechnology include:
- therapeutics,
- diagnostics,
- genetically modified crops for agriculture,
- processed food,
- bioremediation,
- waste treatment, and
- energy production.
- Three critical research areas of biotechnology are:
- Providing the best catalyst in the form of the improved organism is usually a microbe or pure enzyme.
- Creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to act, and
- Downstream processing technologies to purify the protein/organic compound.
- Plants, bacteria, fungi and animals whose genes have been altered by manipulation are called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO).
