Department of Biotechnology & Microbiology
Biotechnology is a science that uses the method and process for transformation of natural raw materials into useful product by the application of living organism in the industrial process. Thus, it is the biology in service to mankind.
Environmental microbiology study the many ways microorganisms interact with the environment. Scientists working in this field usually place an emphasis on microorganisms’ interaction with plant life and animal life, as well as all environmental factors such as pollution and the changing of the seasons. Environmental microbiologists monitor the impact a constantly evolving Earth has on bacteria and other microorganisms. Environmental microbiologists may also study the ways in which certain microorganisms can work as effective agents to degrade various types of human and industrial waste products.
