Biotechnology and Microbiology are very related branches of biology. Infact there is no Biotechnology without Microbiology. Microbiology is the fundamental of Biotechnology. It also offers immense scope like Biotechnology.First of all lets see what is Biotechnology or Biotech. Biotechnology is the application of Biology to the welfare of mankind. \n\nBiotechnology can be defined as the application of micro-organisms, plants and animals in industry. It is a relatively old branch that has recieved tremendous attention in the recent past. Now everyone is talking about biotechnology. Remember the production of alcoholic beverages, curdling of milk or fermentation of idli-dosa batter are examples of simple biotechnlogy. Production of vinegar and alcoholic beverages, production of drugs and medicines, production of high productivity seeds and fertilizers etc. comes under the purview of biotechnology. All these are big business today. All this is going to grow ever greater and that too with a faster pace.\n\nMicrobiology is the study of micro-organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae etc. Microorganisms as we konw can't be seen with naked eyes. Hence we make use of microscope to view microorganisms. Electron microscopes are a must if we want to view and study viruses. Microbiology includes subjects like Genetics, Biochemistry, Fermentation Technology, Immunology, Medical Microbiology and Pathology and Applied branches like Soil Microbiology, Plant Microbiology, Food and Dairy Technology etc.It thus forms the basis of Biotechnology.\n\nScope in Biotechnology and Microbiology is enormous. You can do a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology or Microbiology. This is a three year university program.Some best universities in India that offer BSc. Biotechnology and Microbiology are University of Pune(http://www.unipune.ernet.in), Delhi University, Bangalore University etc. After doing BSc., its recommended that one should go for Masters course which will fine tune his/her career. One can do MSc. Microbiology or Biotechnology. Some top universities offering MSc. Biotechnology and Microbiology in India are University of Pune, Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU), University of Delhi, Bangalore University etc. University of Pune is the first university in South-East Asia to start MBA in Biotechnology or MBA-BT. This is a two year post-graduate program in management.The eligibility for doing MBA-Biotechnology is a minimum three year graduation in science field like biotechnology, microbiology, physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, genetics, agricultural biology, pathology, computer sciences etc. Even engineers can apply for this course and they have great scope in bio-instrumentation firms. MBA in Biotechnology is a good career option for those who have done Bsc. If you have done BSc. Biotech or Microbiology then you can futher do MBA-Biotechnology. MBA-Biotechnology is also called MBA-Biotech or MBA-BT. MBA-Biotech is available at the PUMBA(Department of Management Sciences, University of Pune).It is No.1 MBA-BT course in India. Placements are amazing as the course has recieved good response from industry. After doing MBA-Biotechnology you get to become a manager in Biotech and Pharma companies. The need for MBA-Biotech is going at a rapid pace as the whole BT sector is booming. For details regarding MBA-Biotechnology visit http://www.microbiologyindia.cjb.net , India's first student oriented web-site on Biotechnology and Microbiology and listed on major search engines like Google search, Yahoo Search, AltaVista Search, Hot-Bot etc.\n\nAdvantage India - India offers distinct advantage for Biotech industry.

Biotechnology or BT is industrial application of biology. Its biology in the service of mankind. It involves application of plants, animals and microorganisms in industry. On the other hand, Biomedical engineering uses traditional engineering expertise to solve problems in biology and medicine. Hearing aids,pacemakers etc. are the gifts of biomedical engineering to mankind.\n\nUnder-grad courses in BT - \nYou can go either for BSc. Biotechnology, B.E Biotech or B.Tech Biotech, B.E Biomedical engineering etc. For list of Biotechnology colleges and Biomedical engineering colleges, visit http://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nPost-grad courses in BT - \nMSc. in Biotechnology has good career prospects. Biotech is a booming sector and the growth oppurtunities are high. The Biotech sector includes - Biopharma, Biotech, Biotech services, Bioindustrial, Bioinformatics etc. After BSc., those who want to go for research, choose MSc. and then go for Phd. On the other hand, some go for MBA-Biotechnology. Career oppurtunities for both these courses are good.\n\nAfter doing MSc. Biotech, one can join R&D dept. of any good Biotech company. US is the best destination for Biotechnology. It stands out in the field of research as well as the biotech market is much developed in the US. Similar, is the case with UK, Canada and a few EU countries. Coming to India and China, these countries are really trying hard. Australia is good study destination as well for BT studies in Asia-Pacific region.\n\nFor details on entrance exams and admission procedures as well as more career options in BT, you may visit -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nThe other career prospect is MBA-Biotechnology.

Biotechnology is technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity has come up with one of many definitions of biotechnology:[1]\n"Biotechnology means any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use."\n\n(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotechnology)\n\nBiotechnologists do a number of different jobs, from gene identification and criminal investigations to agricultural research.  Very interesting and rewarding.

SUB-CATEGORIES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY:\n\nRED BIOTECHNOLOGY is biotechnology applied to medical processes. Some examples are the designing of organisms to produce antibiotics, and the engineering of genetic cures to cure diseases through genomic manipulation.\n\nWHITE BIOTECHNOLOGY, also known as GREY BIOTECHNOLOGY, is biotechnology applied to industrial processes. An example is the designing of an organism to produce a useful chemical. White biotechnology tends to consume less in resources than traditional processes when used to produce industrial goods.\n\nGREEN BIOTECHNOLOGY is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes. An example is the designing of an organism to grow under specific environmental conditions or in the presence (or absence) of certain agricultural chemicals. One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions than traditional industrial agriculture. An example of this is the engineering of a plant to express a pesticide, thereby eliminating the need for external application of pesticides. Whether or not green biotechnology products such as this are ultimately more environmentally friendly is a topic of considerable debate.\n\nBIOINFORMATICS is an interdisciplinary field which addresses biological problems using computational techniques. The field is also often referred to as computational biology. It plays a key role in various areas like functional genomics, structural genomics, and proteomics amongst others, and forms a key component in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector.\n\nThe term BLUE BIOTECHNOLOGY has also been used to describe the marine and aquatic applications of biotechnology, but its use is relatively rare.
