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.

The term Biotec hnology was coined by
karl Ereky a Hungarian engineer in 1919. This term is derived from a fusion of
Biology and Technology Biotechnology is not a pure science but an integrated
affect of these two areas, the root of which lies in biological sciences.The
contents of this notes are as follows : Biotechnology, Definitions, Major
concepts and importance, International organizations involved in biotechnology,
Biotechnology in India.
