Biotechnology promoting green energy
In the hustle and bustle of life, almost 95% folks use vehicles to match the speed of this running world. This is becoming the biggest reason for the culmination of natural energy resources. With the continuous use of natural resources, depletion is very near. At a time it was one of the major issues faced by the entire world but now with the advancements of biotechnology we have an apt solution which is not only giving an alternative to use but also helping this world in a number of ways. In recent days, biofuel is gaining a great importance worldwide, let’s get to know what biofuel is and how it is proving a boon for the mankind and nature.
What are biofuels?
As an alternative of regular fuel, biofuel is emerging in the recent days. This is made using plants and plant derived resources. This type of fuel is only used for transportation process and is derived in two types, i.e. bioethanol and biodiesel. Now let’s get familiar with these types of biofuel.
Bioethanol:
As an alternative of petrol, bioethanol is derived and it is produced using sugar. In this procedure sugarcane and maize is fermented.
Biodiesel:
As a substitute of diesel, biodiesel is produced and it is done by using various oil crops. There is a number of oil crops used such as soybean, rapeseed, sunflower seed, palm, etc.
Requirements of biofuels:
With the rapid depletion of fuels it was hard to meet future energy demands. As the demands of energy is expected to be reach a hike of 50% in upcoming few years. As of now, fuels are derived from fossil fuels. These fuels are termed to be the biggest reason of pollution and also are non-renewable with limited supply. Switching to biofuel will not only fulfil the requirements of fuels but also it is a great solution for air pollution.

Importance of Cell biology
Falling ill in our day to day life is a commonly seen scenario. In a day approx. 30% of folks feel sickness due to some or other problem related different body parts. Few of those are well familiar, having proper vaccine and treatment but few are really novel to treat it with existing treatments. Do you know, most of the health disorders are related to body cells or molecules? In order to understand various diseases properly and to find the best treatment, cell biology is a crucial factor. Either you talk about malaria or diabetes, cystic fibrosis or types of cancer, almost are caused due to cell or molecule level disorder. By understanding the cell activities and mechanism, cell biologist can determine the issue and are able to find the most potent and effective treatment.
What’s new in the medical sector?
Sudden change in the health conditions are troubling human lives. It restricts daily life schedule too, but it can be sorted to a great extent by predicting health conditions. It is now possible with the help of cell biological advancements. It allows experts to determine the health condition of a folk by studying their genetic information. With this technology you can be preventive for your health by taking apt precautions.
Cell biology has got a rapid growth in the medical sector and it has proven one stop solution for even human fertility issues. Cell biology is also effective in plants that give the best alternatives to clone crops and modify it with latest techniques. With the help of biotechnology, quality of food can be enhanced and prices can be reduced.
For medicine use also biotechnology is playing a great role. With the help of growing technology more effective medicines are prepared. Now with the cell study medicines can be developed based on several health conditions.

Antibiotics & Vaccines: A gift of Biotechnology
The world has gone digitized, super swift, high tech, and a lot more advancement have been witnessed by the folks of the present era, but also we are in the lap of a number of health issues that are restricting folks to lead their healthy and happy life. Along with the growth in various general life aspects, health issues are also strengthened by some or other means. Earlier also our world was facing such medical issues but the intensity was comparatively lower than present scenario. Hence, the antibiotics and vaccines used in earlier life are now worthless. Now the present medical scenario demands better and stronger medical facilities and treatments. Biotechnology has got a solution for all these issues, as it offers the most advanced technologies for developing the most effective and harmless medical solutions. As compared to traditional times, now the ways of antibiotics production have been changed a lot and hence have got a number of better medical solutions.
Antibiotics production:
As the objective of antibiotics is to hinder the continuous growth of cells, hence cell immobilization is the key solution provided by microbiology to uncouple the growth of cells. For the production of antibiotics, secondary metabolism is one of the greatest methods offered by microbiology. For antibodies production, various immobilization techniques have been tried. The biggest challenge in front of the medical sector was a body part replacement. With the help of biotechnology, a new ray of hope has been discovered. Knee replacement, hip replacement, and hip revision surgery are the latest technologies which are responsible for bringing the medical sector to the peak of success.
Methods used for antibiotics development are natural fermentation, semi-synthetic, and synthetic. In the fermentation procedure, microorganisms are grown in large containers with a liquid growth medium with a precise amount of oxygen concentration, pH level, etc. In semi-synthetic procedure, the fermented metabolisms are then enhanced in the laboratory using various chemical reactions. Above mentioned both antibiotic production methods use bacteria but the synthetic method is completely developed in the lab using various chemical combinations.

Applications of environmental biotechnology
Technological growth has given a new world to live and every single folk is enjoying the rapid advancements and its applications but somewhere we are ignoring the after-effects of such developments. Most of the adverse effects of technological and other developments are noticed on the environment. Each successive day, the amount of pollution in the atmosphere is getting doubled. Pollution is not only effecting pollution but also affecting human lives. As a solution, environmental biotechnology is emerging as a boon to restore the quality of our environment.
Let’s understand what environmental biotechnology is?
There are certain procedures which are incorporated to retain environmental quality. This is done by detecting the pollutants and finding the best remedies for it. The major that causes pollutions are in three different states, solid-liquid and gas. If these substances causing pollution can be resolved then a great difference can be brought in the environment. Environmental biotechnology offers the best ways to purify pollutants and recycle it with harmless substances.
Biotechnology is one of the fastest-growing sectors and it is having a great impact on environmental development and damage healing.
Application of environmental biotechnology:
To sustain the development of life and living being, environmental protection is mandatory. With the continuous growth of the population, the consumption of various energy sources is depleting at a fast pace. Hence to secure our world and provide a new source of energy biotechnology has a great role.
Bioremediation:
Purification of pollutants is a basic need of our globe to survive a healthy life. But the methods used for the purification of pollutants present in the environmental aspects were having adverse effects and were disturbing life in several ways. Biotechnology has given a new and natural method to detoxify the pollutants, such as the use of micro-organism for the purification methods, especially for the detoxification of soil, water, and other sediments. Distinct technologies developed for achieving these objectives are termed as bio reclamation, biotreatment, and bio restoration.
