Bioprospecting
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Reed, Philip A. – Technology Teacher, 2004
This article introduces the subject of bioprospecting to students. It is a very old biotechnology that involves some very new techniques. Genetic engineering and other processes allow biologists, chemists, and biotechnologists to collect microorganisms and change them in ways that previously were not possible. Organisms that thrive under adverse…
