What is bioaugmentation?
149026
Bioaugmentation is defined as the addition of pre-grown microbial cultures to perform a specific remediation task in a given environment. At United-Tech, Inc. the microbes in our cultures are specially selected, usually from a similar environment, screened for the desired biological activity and hardiness, and grown in large quantities in fermentation vats. The cultures are harvested, tested for purity, and formulated into easy-to-apply products.

The use of microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeasts, or biological substances, such as enzymes, to perform specific industrial or manufacturing processes. Applications include the production of certain drugs, synthetic hormones, and bulk foodstuffs as well as the bioconversion of organic waste and the use of genetically altered bacteria in the cleanup of oil spills. \n\nThe application of the principles of engineering and technology to the life sciences; bioengineering. \nSee ergonomics.

A bioassay?\n\nWell it would take an immense amount of space and time to describe how all bioassays are done. There are many, many types of bioassays, for all it takes to be considered a bioassay is any qualitative or quantitative analysis of a substance that uses a living system, such as an intact cell, as a component.\n\nThis could mean you are looking at the effect a substance has on a living system in terms of that systems health, or how the living system responds to the presence of that substance being added, or look at the production of another product when a particular substance is introduced into a  living system. The list goes on and on and would be impossible to list them all.

Biotechnology is aplication of technology to biological syatems so as to maximise the use of microorganisims.\nThere is no perfect definition for biotechnology.\nGnetic enginerring is one field of biotechnology where genes are manipulated.\nso genetic engineering is one field of biotechnology.

Cloning is a method of development of an new organisms with a single parental cells as it contain the same number of genome. It is type of asexual reproduction by means of which the offspring is produced as an identical copies of the parents because here only one parent either male or female is involved out . According to modern technology it may be called as tissue culture mechanisms.

Fragmentation or Clonal Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism is split into fragments. The splitting may or may not be intentional. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown individuals that are a clone of the original organism. If the organism is split any further the process is repeated.\n\nFragmentation is seen in organisms such as molds, some annelid worms, and starfish.\n\nMolds, yeast, and mushrooms, all of which are part of the Fungi kingdom, produce tiny filaments called hyphae. These hyphae obtain food and nutrients from the body of other organisms to grow and fertilize. Then a piece of hyphae breaks off and grows into a new individual and the cycle continues.

Hi,\n\nbiotechnology is great field:\n\nBiotechnology 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\nRead the page and you'll see how versatile and interesting a biotechnology specialist is.

Very interesting and rewarding.

Good question.  \n\nFirst biotechnology is essentially the use of bacteria or yeast or products of these living organism like enzymes for the use or production of drugs.  It has many other applications like alternating certain bacteria to be able to eat and degrade oil spills, for instance.  Over the past 2-3 decades we have made tremedulous strides in understanding the mechanisms of cells.  In the process, we have developed new technology to be able to manipulate cellular function.  For instance, mass producing strands of DNA, being able to insert these code sequences into bacterium dna,  forcing the bacterium to make these codes into proteins which benefit the whole of society.\n\nWhat is the difference between the pharmaceuticals and biotech.  In general pharmaceutical companies make medications by chemical reaction.\n\nBiology is a must.  It provides the foundation for later studies.  Yes high school biology can be a drag. ( i always hated learning about different plant reproduction or different dinosaur era or evolution.)  But stick with it cause.  The courses become more advanced when you go to college.

Cloning is a way to asexually reproduce a plant.  Plants produced in this way are identical (genetically) to the parent plant.\n\nTissue culture is the growth of cells in culture.  When plant cells are grown in culture, they are typically not differentiated, meaning they do not have specialized structures like leaves, stem, and roots.  They do have the same genetic makeup as the specialized structures, but have not expressed it.\n\nThese cells can be grown in large numbers, then allowed to develop a callus, or mass of cells.  With plant growth regulators, these cells can then be forced to differentiated to form plantlets.  These plantlets can be taken out and planted in soil as genetic clones of the parent plant.  \n\nThese can be raised in large number, and because of the absence of sexual reproduction, there is no diversity or undesirable traits cropping up (no pun intended).\n\nPlant cells exhibit a trait known as totipotency, meaning they all have the ability to divide and make another plant this way.

A biomolecule is a chemical compound that naturally occurs in living organisms. Biomolecules consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen, along with nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. Other elements sometimes are incorporated but these are much less common.\n\nBiomolecules are necessary for the existence of all known forms of life. For example, humans possess skin and hair. The main component of hair is keratin, an agglomeration of proteins which are themselves polymers built from amino acids. Amino acids are some of the most important building blocks used, in nature, to construct larger molecules. Another type of building block is the nucleotides, each of which consists of three components: either a purine or pyrimidine base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate group. These nucleotides, mainly, form the nucleic acids.\n\nBesides the polymeric biomolecules, numerous small organic molecules are absorbed or synthesised by living systems. Many biomolecules may be useful or important drugs.

biotechnology is technology that has to do with living things. for instance, growing organs, genetically enhancing/modifying plants and animals, etc.

Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two.

There are more than two, depending on specifically what you are doing.\n\nGenerally transformation is of bacteria. The two major methods for doing this are plasmid transformation and phage transformation. (see link below)\n\nThere are additional methods used on eukaryotic cells.\n The Shotgun approach coats minuscule particles of gold with the DNA you want transferred and shoots them into the cells. Insertion is random.\n\n Some plants are amenable to agrobacterium mediated transformation. This is much more precise than the shotgun approach. (see link below)
