Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that uses biological systems, organisms and their derivatives to develop products and processes for specific use. It was traditionally used for the domestication of animals and cultivation of plants, as well as for their enhancement by using artificial selection and hybridization. Modern biotechnology integrates techniques of genetic engineering, cell and tissue culture for developing products such as biodegradable plastics, biofuels, vegetable oil, as well as for the manufacture of beer and milk products. Besides these, bioleaching, bioremediation and biological weapons production are upcoming applications of biotechnology. The major branches of biotechnology are bioinformatics, blue biotechnology, green biotechnology, red biotechnology and white biotechnology. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to biotechnology. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. It will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in this field. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
