ENVIRONMENTAL
BIOTECHNOLOGY

 WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL BIOTECHNOLOGY?

According to the international Society for environmental

Biotechnology the environmental Biotechnology is defined as an
environment that helps to develop, efficiently use and regulate
the biological systems and prevent the environment from
pollution or from contamination of land, air and water have work
efficiently to sustain an environment friendly Society.
 APPLICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
BIOTECHNOLOGY
There are 4 major different types of Applications of
Environmental Biotechnology. They are as follows:
a) Biomarker
b) Bioenergy
c) Bioremediation
d) Biotransformation
 BIOMARKER

This type of Application of environmental Biotechnology gives

response to a chemical that helps to measure the level of
damage caused or the exposure of the toxic or the pollution
effect caused. In other word, Biomarker can also be called as
the Biological markers the major use of this applications helps
to relate the connection between the oils and its sources.
 Bioenergy

The collective purport of Biogas, biomass, fuels, and

hydrogen are called the Bioenergy. The use of this application
of Environment Biotechnology is in the industrial, domestic
and space sectors. As per the recent need it is concluded that
the need of clean energy out of these fuels and alternative
ways of finding clean energy is the need of the hour.
 BIOREMEDIATION

The process of cleaning up the hazardous substances into

non-toxic compounds is called the Bioremediation process.
This process is majorly used for any kind of technology clean
up that uses the natural microorganisms.
 BIOTRANSFORMATION

The changes that take place in the biology of the environment

which are changes of the complex compound to simple non-
toxic to toxic or the other way round is called the
biotransformation process. It is used in the Manufacturing
sector where toxic substances are converted to Bi-products.
 BENEFITS

The major benefits of environmental biotechnology are it helps

to keep our environment safe and clean for the use of the
future generations. It helps the organisms and the engineers to
find useful ways of getting adapted to the changes in the
environment and keep the environment clean and green.
