Biotechnology is one of the fields of applied science and technology based on the unique characteristics of biological matter. Biotechnology has several definitions that differ in their formal scope, but are consistent in their fundamental scope. They are broadly defined as "the whole of technologies that use biological systems and organisms or their components to produce, The development of products or processes for particular uses that may be of value and benefit to the human being ".
Biotechnology applications are achieved only by integrating a large number of scientific and technological fields. Biotechnology is a multi-faceted science and relies on many other sciences such as applied biophysics, chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, biology, molecular biology, enzymatics, analytical chemistry, food science Chemical engineering, industrial microbiology and others.
The science of biotechnology as we know science deals with living organisms to produce materials or to provide some services to humans, and man has adapted to some organisms in simple ways developed with scientific progress so that man can control many of the organisms, and with the advancement of industrial revolution in the century The past has been active in the use of innovative machines to improve the efficiency of traditional biotechnologies, resulting in a major boom in the fields of plant and animal production, vaccine production, disease diagnosis, etc. Among the most important modern technologies are so-called genetic engineering, As well as the treatment of genetic codes in animals and their transfer, or so-called gene therapy, as well as the cultivation of plant and animal tissues, increasing the number of embryos for farm animals, the treatment of infertility in humans through external fertilization (IVF), the use of stem cells in cellular therapy, Detection of methods of cloning and cellular integration and methods of cellular preservation for long periods of time and other different and different techniques.
Therefore, biotechnology is above all a technology that increases our capacity. It enables us to manufacture drugs and industrial chemicals in a much cheaper and much less polluting way than before. But its potential goes further, it also ushers in a whole galaxy of new products that can revolutionize all aspects of our lives.
Biotechnology is an ancient ancestor. It was the first fermented drink, the first cup of yogurt and the first piece of cheese. Thousands of years ago, people of different civilizations used these biological processes in an orderly fashion for food, pigments, pharmaceuticals, fuels, adhesives, paper and fertilizers. The high-tech movement and advanced lab research began to invade traditional handicrafts, home-based routines and established industrial expertise, and it was no longer simply raising the production of traditional microorganisms such as mushrooms and yeast to very high levels. , Bacteria can now manufacture human proteins, secrete plastics, produce antifreeze agents, digest wood shavings, transform them into eaten protein, live on oil waste, decompose herbicides, extract minerals from the sea, and Tricks of human waste into food.
