The Realm of Applied Microbiology, Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering through the Millennia: From Prehistoric Era to Modern Era
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
There are some biological sciences which are essential for human being's life. Among an abundance of sciences, applied microbiology, biotechnology and genetic engineering play a key role in our lives. All of these science branches support and guarantee the life continuity and health of human being on the earth. Although the terms of applied microbiology, biotechnology and genetic engineering are novel and new, the sciences are prehistoric in practice. Through the several millennia, the human populations in different regions around the world such as the north part of the Persian Gulf, the Caspian Sea areas, Mesopotamia, etc. have recognized fabulous and incredible biological tools like Saccharomyces cerevisiae which binds the prehistoric era to the modern time. We have no choice to progress and qualify our knowledge to increase the quality of the biological processes.
