Overview

Modern biotechnology is a rapidly advancing field that utilizes molecular techniques derived from whole or parts of living organisms to produce or enhance commercial products and processes. This branch of natural sciences has its roots in the creation of the first recombinant gene thirty years ago and has since expanded to encompass a wide range of applications that improve our daily lives. These techniques are used to develop improved foods, beverages, clothing, and medicines, as well as innovative methods for energy generation and the production of non-toxic cleaning products. Additionally, modern biotechnology plays a crucial role in reducing waste by altering patterns of production and consumption through DNA engineering. The book Modern Biotechnology and its Applications contains 32 chapters and covers a wide range of tools and technologies developed by distinguished scientists, with a particular focus on how these advancements can be used to save the planet Earth through increased productivity and sustainable production methods. The books objective is to highlight the exploration and development of biotechnological tools and techniques for the betterment of society.
