Biotechnology is the broad area of biology
involving living systems and organisms to develop or make products.
Environmental Biotechnology is a rapidly developing, increasingly important
branch of science that has implications for both the prevention and clean-up of
pollution in different strata of the environment. The contents of this notes
include : Preface – Importance of the Training program, Basics of Molecular
Biology & Biotechnology, Applications of Biotechnology to Control Environmental
Pollution, Addressing Pesticide Pollution through Bioremediation Technology,
Solid Waste management, Cutting edge technologies for the sustainable management
of wastewater The New Faces of Diatoms: Source for new age nanotechnology
application, Oilzapper and Oilivorous-S, Biofuels – Importance, Potential and
Present Status.

This is a scientific book
containing recent advances of selected research works that are ongoing in
certain biotechnological applications. Fourteen chapters divided in four
sections related to the newest biotechnological achievements in environmental
protection, medicine and health care, biopharmaceutical producing, molecular
genetics, and tissue engineering are presented.
In
an era of interdisciplinary collaboration, the book serves an excellent indepth
text for a broad range of readers ranging from social scientists to students,
researchers and policy makers. Every topic weaves back to the same bottom line:
how does this discovery impact society in a positive way?
New procedures involving direct gene insertion and
manipulation allow for much more rapid selection of desirable traits than older
procedures. These new procedures will be described (Chapter 2) and discussed
with reference to possible concerns related to the production of medical
products (Chapter 3), food safety (Chapter 4), environmental issues (Chapter 5),
and animal welfare (Chapter 6).
