Biotechnology

Biotechnology

• Is a field of applied biology which involves the use of


living organisms or other biological system in
manufacture of drug or other product or
environmental management
• Louis Pasteur known as a father of biotechnology
Field of biology that involved

Biotechnology
Conventional/traditional biotechnology

• Biotechnology which involed of microorganism,


biochemical process and mutation of genes that
occured naturally
Examples
Food and beverages:
• Tempe : Rhizopus oryzae

• Fermented cassava : Saccharomyces cereviceae


• Soya sauce : Aspergilus wentii
• Nata de coco :Acetobacter xylinum
• Cheese : Lactobaccilus lactis, Streptococcus lactis
• Yogurt : Streptococcus thermophylus, Lactobaccilus bulgaricus
• Citric acid : Aspergillus niger
• wine
Agriculture:
• Hydroponic
Animal husbandary : ankon sheep (natural mutation)
Medical :
• Vaccine: biological preparation that improves
immunity to a particular disease, made of weakened
or killed form of microbe
• Antibiotic: Penicillium notatum, Streptomycin fasiens
Father of biotechnology

• Proved that fermentation done by microorganism


(1857-1876)
Modern biotechnology

• Biotechnology which invole of manipulation and


genetic engineering beside biochemistry and
microbiology
Example of modern biotechnology
• Agriculture : crop plant transgenic, plant tissue
culture
• Animal husbandary: clonning, genetic engineering of
animal
• Medical : monoclonal antibody (result of cell
hybridoma
Plant tissue culture

• It based on totipotent capability on whole plant


tissue
• Food:
1. Flavr Savr Tomato: tomato which has shelf-life longer,
though it is ripe fruit.
Useful aplication

• Agriculture: crop yield, food quality, animal health


• Medical: diagnostic, vaccine, therapeutic
• Environmental: environmental monitoring,
bioremediation, pollution prevention.

Bioremediation: restoration/remediation
method of polluted environment which is
involving biological agent
Modern biotechnology

• Biotechnology which is involving genes and genetic


engineering (modification of genes)
• Agriculture:
1. Soy bean transgenic
2. Cotton transgenic
