biotechnology – the applications that uses biological organisms, or derivatives to make or
modify products or processes to provide improved commodities
→ Evets of Biotehology i Histoy
3rd century BC – manufacture of beer in Egypt
1857 – fermentation description by Louise Pasteur
1928 – penicillin discovery by Alexander Fleming
1945 – identification of many more antibiotics
Approaches in Biotehology i the 4’s
screening/selection → identification of organisms which are capable of antibiotic production
optimization of production procedure → media, culture conditions
• this is limited by trial and error approach and requires long time to achieve the goal
1973 – Cohen and Boyer developed the tehiue of ut ad paste DNA to podue lage
aouts of DNA ad foeig poteis i ateiu
1977 – the first human protein – somatostatin – was produced in E.coli
1982 – the first human protein on the market
late ’s – transgenic animals as bioreactor
1990 – gene therapy – Ashanthi deSilva (adenosine deaminase gene mutation)
1999 – safety issue; Jesse Gelsinger
2004 – The United Nation Food and Agriculture Organization stating biotechnology is a
complementary tool to traditional farming methods that can help poor farmers and consumers
in developing nations
2008 – Trachea derived from patient bone marrow cell transplanted into human recipient
(donor trachea was decellularized and used as scaffolding)
• no signs of rejection or immunological issues
• patient was healthy for five years
2010 – The J. Craig Venter Institute created the first synthetic cell; Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-
syn1.0

→ potential applications: biofuels, vaccines, antibiotics, synthetic pharmaceutical agents
2012 – Trachea derived from stem cells transplanted into human recipient
• the Y shaped framework for the new trachea was made of polymers that had a spongy
and flexible texture
2016 – By the same team – JCVI-syn3.0
• divides every three hours
• each cell contains just 473 genes (half of the syn1.0) – fewer than any other
independent organism
• the function of 149 genes is unknown but essential
significance:
-designing and building a minimal genome
-unique model to study gene function
2017 – FDA approved a genetically-modified autologous T-cell immunotherapy
Appoahes i Biotehology fo id ’s –
1. Identification of genes with the function of interest
2. Cloning of the gene into expression construct
3. Express the recombinant protein in the desired organism
4. Optimizing the expression system: promoter, signal sequence, regulatory sequence
5. Protein engineering
6. Organ generation, synthesizing new organism
→ Major Factors Influencing the Direction and Development of Biotechnology
1. Reseahes’ iagination
2. Market demand
3. Ethic issues
4. Governmental regulations
