Biotechnology has come to a stage where, by replacing some of the
age old practices of breeding, it can produce novel and improved
plants and animals that can better serve human beings and their
purposes. The techniques of cellular and subcellular engineering,
such as gene splicing and recombinant DNA, cloning, hybridomas and
monoclonal anti bodies, production of human insulin, protein
engineering, industrial fermentation, artificial insemination,
cryopreservation and ovum trans fer, plant tissue culture and
somatic hybridization, nitrogen fixation, phytomass production for
biofuels etc have advanced greatly in the past decade, due to the
availability of better equipment and the consolida tion of
knowledge. Product orientation has removed biotechnology from the
area of pure academic interest to one of utility where the final
product is a spur to action. Businesses have started pouring money
into projects, which has aided greatly in improving equipment,
information exchange, and arousing the interest and imagination of
the public. The common goal of science, industry and the public
opens wide vistas and great hopes for biotechnology. The business
of biotechnology addresses itself to issues of factory farming,
technology transfer, joint ventures, international cooperation and
to specific topics as well as the produc tion of diagnostic kits.
Industry is particularly concerned with the phar maceutical field
and microbial biotechnology from which profitable return can
accrue. Commercial interests have led to better management
practices and systematisation."
