Introduction
What is Biochemical Engineering?
What is Biotechnology?
Commercial technique that
use living organisms or substances from those organisms to make or modify
a product including techniques used for the:
Improvement of characteristics of economically important plants, and
animals, and
for the development of microorganism to act on environment 11

Renewable resources organisms.
Genetic engineering: Laboratory Here a foreign gene is spliced for a
desired product into circular forms
Technology for genetic of DNA (plasmids), which is inserted
manipulation within living cells into an organism, so that the foreign
gene can be expressed to produce
Disadvantages the product from the organism.
Cell fusion
Complex product mixtures is a process to form a single hybrid
Dilute aqueous environments cell with nuclei and cytoplasm from
two different types of cells in order to
