INTRODUCTION

The term biotechnology represents a fusion or an alliance between biology and technology. It is
a newly discovered discipline for old-age practices. Biotechnology, as an integral component of
biosciences, has derived its strength from different disciplines of science and technology. It is an
interdisciplinary pursuit with multidisciplinary applications.

DISCOVERY OF CELL AND CHROMOSOME THEORY OF INHERITANCE

Robert Hooke is credited with the discovery of cell. An important discovery made by Robert Brown
(1831) was the presence of a small sphere within the cells of orchid roots. In 1839, Hugo von Mohl
and J. Purkinje named the jelly-like substance as protoplast. In 1885, Virchow explained that cells
are derived from pre-existing cells.
In 1902, cytologists Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri independently came to the conclusion
that the behaviour of chromosomes at meiosis can serve as the cellular basis of both segregation
and independent assortment. The theory of heredity of chromosomes was further expanded by
Thomas H. Morgan on fruit fly drosophila. The term factor as the basic unit of inheritance was
replaced with the term gene by Johannsen in 1909. The term mutation was coined in 1901 by Hugo
de Vries to explain the variation he observed in the plant Oenothera lamarckiana (primrose).

The origin of biotechnology dates back to 6000 BC, the same year when the yeast was first
used to produce beer and wine. The history of biotechnology begins with zymotechnology, which
commenced with a focus on brewing techniques for beer. By World War I, zymotechnology
expanded to cover larger industrial issues, and the potential of industrial fermentation gave rise
to biotechnology. Yoghurt was produced from bacteria. Louis Pasteur, also known as the father
of biotechnology, identified the role of microorganisms in fermentation. The biotechnological
revolution began in the late 1970s and early 1980s when scientists understood the genetic
constitution of living organisms. Biotechnology, as an applied bioscience, has been effectively
utilized for better industrial therapeutic production. As a matter of fact, every discipline of science
has contributed either directly or indirectly to the growth of biotechnology (Fig. 1.1).

MAJOR BRANCHES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

Biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of
materials by biological agents—microorganisms, plants and animal cells. Biotechnology can be
represented as a mixture of various biological sciences (biosciences) for better service in the field
of pharmaceuticals (Fig. 1.2).

Agricultural Biotechnology

It deals with a group of scientific techniques that are used to create, improve or modify plants
and animals. It encompasses the knowledge of biosciences concerned with plants and agriculture,
such as plant tissue culture, production of haploid plants, somaclonal variation, micropropagation
cryopreservation methodology in the genetic engineering of plants, application of transgenic
plants, etc.

Forensic Biotechnology
It is the method for detecting unique DNA pattern of organism, and it includes DNA
fingerprinting.

Medical Biotechnology

It deals with the utilization diagnostic kits for the detection of different diseases. It has wide
applications in human health care, and it includes information related to gene therapy, DNA in
disease diagnosis, fingerprinting, specialized products of DNA biotechnology, etc.

Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

It is a major branch of biotechnology, which includes production of therapeutic proteins and
hormones, fermentation products such as antibiotics, vaccines and drugs, etc.

Environmental Biotechnology

It encompasses the information on biotechnology with references to environment such as
environment pollution, treatment modalities, etc.

Microbial Biotechnology

The information pertaining to fermentation technology, downstream processing, enzyme
technology, microbial production of organic solvents, organic acids, antibiotics, amino acids,

vitamins, foods and beverages, polysaccharides, biomass–bioenergy, etc., is covered under
microbial biotechnology.
Biotechnology has several other branches also, with varied applications, such as molecular
biotechnology, aquatic biotechnology, animal biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, leather
biotechnology, mining and metal biotechnology, textile biotechnology, genetic engineering, etc.

ADVANCES IN BIOTECHNOLOGY

With the advent of information technology, modern technologies give rise to genomics, proteomics
and cellomics that promise to develop into the technology with applications in medicine, food,
agriculture, etc. The present focus of biotechnology is centred basically on genomics and
postgenomic. Since 2001, different methods have been developed enabling rapid sequencing of
more than 50 microbial, plant, animal and human genomes.
Newer frontiers in biotechnology include development of nucleic acid probes, production of
monoclonal antibodies and molecular markers. Development of microbial inoculants covering
biopesticides, biofertilizers and genetic modifications of microbes through DNA recombination
are other important applications. Novel approaches such as proteomics and structure biology are
contributing to the understanding of chemistry of life and disease.
Different techniques of population genetics and biometric analysis are complemented with
modern methods in reproductive biology and gene diagnosis. Artificial insemination, in vitro
fertilization and embryo transfer are important applications of biotechnology in animal breeding.

SIGNIFICANT MILESTONES IN BIOTECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH

During the 20th century, the pharmaceutical industry witnessed a series of developments in
science and technology, which had generated new opportunities for biotechnological discoveries.
The important historical developments in biotechnology, recent milestones in biotechnology
and chronological sequences of important biotechnological products (drugs, vaccines and other
therapeutics) are listed in Tables 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, respectively.

HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF SOME LEADING SCIENTISTS

1. Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) is the greatest of all microscopists. He was the first
to observe and accurately describe the shape of human red blood cells. He observed and
