单词 biotechnology
释义
biotechnology

Physics
  • The development of techniques for the application of biological processes to the production of materials of use in medicine and industry. For example, the production of antibiotics, cheese, and wine rely on the activity of various fungi and bacteria. Genetic engineering can modify bacterial cells to synthesize completely new substances, e.g. hormones, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, etc.


Chemistry
  • The development of techniques for the application of biological processes to the production of materials of use in medicine and industry. For example, the production of antibiotics, cheese, and wine rely on the activity of various fungi and bacteria. Genetic engineering can modify bacterial cells to synthesize completely new substances, e.g. hormones, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, etc., or introduce novel traits into plants or animals.


Chemical Engineering
  • A technology that uses biological processes for the development and industrial production of materials for medical and industrial purposes. The technology uses living organisms such as plants, animals, yeast, and bacteria, and uses techniques such as genetic modification and recombinant DNA technology to improve production or produce new products. Examples include the production of beer, cheese, and wine, the development and production of vaccines, hormones, monoclonal antibodies, and antibiotics, as well as the production of energy and the recycling of waste.


Biology
  • The development of techniques for the application of biological processes to the production of materials of use in medicine and industry. For example, the production of antibiotics, cheese, and wine rely on the activity of various fungi and bacteria. Genetic engineering can modify bacterial cells, plants, or animals to synthesize completely new substances, e.g. hormones, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, etc., or introduce novel traits into plants or animals. See also bioengineering; synthetic biology.


Geography
  • Using biomolecular and cellular processes to create new products and technological processes. The use of micro-organisms or biological processes for commercial, medical, or social purposes (R. Youngson 2001). As such, biotechnology is one of the earliest technologies used by humans, for example, in cheese-making. Biomedical engineering has, in the last ten years, become a major technology in its own right. Its applications include the development of artificial organs; the design of replacement (prosthetic) devices of all kinds; advances in the medical and biological use of lasers; the development of biological applications of ultrasound; bionics; robotics; and cybernetics (Youngson 2001). F. Bowring (2003) is critical of biotechnology, and raises important issues.
