Biotechnology Applied Microbiology

Biotechnology Applied Microbiology is a rapidly developing scientific field that applies the principles of microbiology to develop new and improved products and processes. By combining the principles of microbiology, biochemistry, and genetics, biotechnology applied microbiology helps to develop living organisms that are used in biomedicine and the production of food, fuels, and materials. Examples of products or processes that may benefit from biotechnology applied microbiology include vaccines, biofuels, drugs, bioplastics, and biofertilizers. The potential applications of biotechnology applied microbiology are virtually unlimited and far-reaching, offering opportunities to improve the quality of human life and the environment in general.
