Fermentation

The conversion of carbohydrates to
alcohols and carbon dioxide or
organic acids using yeasts, bacteria,
or a combination thereof, under
anaerobic conditions
BIOTECHNOLOGY


Using scientific methods with organisms to
produce new products or new forms of
organisms
Any technique that uses living organisms or
substances from those organisms to make
or modify a product, to improve plants or
animals, or to develop micro-organisms for
specific uses
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
4000
BC in Egypt – Discovered the use
of yeast to make bread rise and to
prepare wine
3000 BC in Peru – Started to improve
the potato. It was larger and able to
resist frost.
1763 BC Sumerians – Invented the
process of brewing beer
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
1683,
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
– Invented the microscope
1861, Louis Pasteur – Invented the
process of pasteurization
1865, Gregor Mendel – Basic laws
of genetics
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
William James Beal – World’s 1st
hybrid corn by crossing white and yellow
corn plants = yellowish white corn
 1982, Human Insulin – Produced by
bacteria and the 1st product of biotech
 1987, Genetic Fingerprinting – A crime
suspect in the UK was convicted on the
evidence of genetic fingerprinting.
 1879,
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
Tracey – The 1st transgenic animal, a
sheep was born. It had human genes which
enable her to produce human therapeutic
proteins in her milk
 1994, FLAVRSAVR TM – A tomato with
delayed ripening trait and higher solid was
commercially released.
 1996, Dolly was born
 1991,
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
 2004
– Increased number of countries
planting genetically modified crops
(herbicide tolerant soybeans and rapesees,
Bt corn and Bt cotton). Bacillus thuringiensis
bacterium (Bt)
 2005 – Many biotech products used for
treating various diseases and help protect
the environment and crops with better
nutrition.
