TD 04 Life sciences and socio-economic impact
One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions
than traditional industrial agriculture, although this is still a topic of considerable debate. Red
biotechnology is applied to medical processes. Some examples are the designing of organisms to
produce antibiotics, and the engineering of genetic cures through genetic manipulation. White
biotechnology, also known as industrial biotechnology, is biotechnology applied to industrial
processes. An example is using naturally present bacteria by the mining industry in bioleaching;
so it is the designing of an organism to produce a useful chemical or destroy hazardous/polluting
chemicals. White biotechnology tends to consume less in resources than traditional processes
used to produce industrial goods. Blue biotechnology is a term that has been used to describe the
marine and aquatic applications of biotechnology, but its use is relatively rare. Bioinformatics is
an interdisciplinary field which addresses biological problems using computational techniques,
and makes the rapid organization and analysis of biological data possible. Bioinformatics plays a
key role in various areas, such as functional genomics, structural genomics, and proteomics, and
forms a key component in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector. In conclusion
biotechnology can berefered to any technological application that uses biological systems, living
organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use.
