The word ‘Ecosystem’ was coined by Sir AG Tansley (1935). 2. The size of an ecosystem varies greatly from a small pond to a large forest or a sea. […]

Organisms and Its Environment: 1. Ecology is the branch of biology, which studies the interactions among organisms and their physical (abiotic) environment. 2. The subject ecology is basically concerned with four levels of biological organisation. These are given below: (i) Organism Living component of the environment at individual level and is basic unit of ecological hierarchy. (ii) […]

Biotechnological Applications in Agriculture and Medicine: 1. Biotechnology essentially deals with industrial scale production of biopharmaceuticals and biologicals. The applications of biotechnology include therapeutics, diagnostics, genetically modified crops for agriculture, processed food, bioremediation, waste treatment and energy production. 2. Biotechnology have the following three critical research areas: (i) To provide the best catalyst in the form of […]

Principles of Biotechnology and Tools of Recombination DNA Technology: 1. Biotechnology can be defined as the use of microorganisms, plants or animal cells or their components to produce products and processes useful to humans. According to the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB), biotechnology is the integration of natural science and organisms, cells, parts thereof and molecular […]

Microbes in Household Products, Industrial Products and in Sewage Treatment: 1. Microbes are the major components of biological systems on the earth. They are present everywhere, i.e. in soil, water, air, inside our bodies and those of other animals and plants.
