"This Textbook is the outcome of a COSTED--IBN project on curriculum development in biotechnology for undergraduate study, especially for students in developing countries. It is designed to provide a strong base in this emerging, interdisciplinary area which holds great promise for economic development. The book presents an overview of biotechnology, which is concerned with the applications of living cells or their components to the benefit of humankind. The early chapters review the structure and function of biological molecules and living cells, and the way in which cellular structure and function is controlled by the genetic makeup of the cell. The diverse technologies associated with the application of living systems in select areas--such as health care, agriculture, animal systems, food and beverage production, environment maintenance, bioprocess technologies--are then described. Finally, the impact of biotechnology on the environment, and ethical and social implications of this technology, are discussed. The text is interspersed with assignments and self assessment exercises designed to reinforce key concepts. The end-of-chapter reading lists and glossary of technical terms further enhance the the usefulness of the book.".
