| Description: | Presently, a third wave of biotechnology – coined industrial or white biotechnology – is developing at full speed. It has positioned itself distinctly and fi rmly from red biotechnology, which is aimed at the medical fi eld, and from green biotechnology, focusing on genetically modifi ed crops and plants. Industrial biotechnology exploits (micro)biological systems for the productions of fi ne and bulk chemicals, materials, fi bers and energy. The underpinning technologies are based on biocatalysis and enzyme technology (the use of cells and enzymes to catalyse chemical reactions) and on fermentation technology (the directed and controlled mass production of microbial and higher cells, their enzymes and metabolites). Scientifi c breakthroughs in high throughput screening, molecular genetics, directed evolution, enzyme and cell engineering, metabolic engineering, novel culture techniques and integrated downstream processing have boosted the fi eld dramatically over the past decade. |
