The name itself defines itself as \u2018any technology that uses biological system\u2019. Biotechnology is not a new term to the mankind; rather it has contributed to the world to a great extent from the beginning of civilization. From the prehistoric times till the present, the developments advanced by biotechnology are rapidly rising. The earliest example of biotechnology is the domestication of plants and animals followed by our ancestors who used diverse plants to make medicines that had striking effects. Microorganisms are used to make yoghurt and bread. Alcoholic drinks like beer and wine are also produced. All these foods and drinks are produced by the process of fermentation. The practical arts of preserving foods \u2013 drying, smoking and treatment with granular salts were all well-developed in the prehistoric era itself. The infamous mummification procedure in Egypt used the technique of dehydration with a mixture of salts.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Not only in the prehistoric times but also in today\u2019s world, biotechnology is used for improving our lifestyle such as by sustainable production of chemicals, fuels, food, regenerative medicine, advanced healthcare through genome sequencing, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Biotechnology is a firm process, a regenerative of science for the mankind and it has its own significance and gravity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<pre style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Authors: Krisangi Kouli and Naina Swargiary<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\r\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kendriya Vidyalaya, Khanapara, Guwahati<\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe whole of science in making is nothing more than a refinement of everything\u201d &nbsp;\u2013 Albert Einstein From one\u2019s birth to death, we are all under the influence of scientific phenomena.
