Fermentation The conversion of carbohydrates to alcohols and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts, bacteria, or a combination thereof, under anaerobic conditions
9
BIOTECHNOLOGY Using scientific methods with organisms to produce new products or new forms of organisms Any technique that uses living organisms or substances from those organisms to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals, or to develop micro-organisms for specific uses
10
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
4000 BC in Egypt – Discovered the use of yeast to make bread rise and to prepare wine 3000 BC in Peru – Started to improve the potato. It was larger and able to resist frost. 1763 BC Sumerians – Invented the process of brewing beer
11
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
1683, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek – Invented the microscope 1861, Louis Pasteur – Invented the process of pasteurization 1865, Gregor Mendel – Basic laws of genetics
12
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
1879, William James Beal – World’s 1st hybrid corn by crossing white and yellow corn plants = yellowish white corn 1982, Human Insulin – Produced by bacteria and the 1st product of biotech 1987, Genetic Fingerprinting – A crime suspect in the UK was convicted on the evidence of genetic fingerprinting.
13
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
1991, Tracey – The 1st transgenic animal, a sheep was born. It had human genes which enable her to produce human therapeutic proteins in her milk 1994, FLAVRSAVR TM – A tomato with delayed ripening trait and higher solid was commercially released. 1996, Dolly was born
14
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
2004 – Increased number of countries planting genetically modified crops (herbicide tolerant soybeans and rapesees, Bt corn and Bt cotton). Bacillus thuringiensis bacterium (Bt) 2005 – Many biotech products used for treating various diseases and help protect the environment and crops with better nutrition.
15
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
Anton van Leeuwenhoek – Discovered cells of Bacteria, Protists and Red blood Gregor Johan Mendel – Discovered genetics Walter Sutton – Discovered Chromosomes
16
Ernst Ruska – Invented the electron microscope
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS Thomas Hunt Morgan – Discovered how genes are transmitted through chromosomes Ernst Ruska – Invented the electron microscope Sir Alexander Fleming – Discovered penicillin
17
BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS
Rosalind Elsie Franklin – Research led to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA James Watson and Francis Crick – Discovered DNA Mary-Claire King – Mapped human genes for research of cancer treatments Ian Wilmut – Created the first true clone, the Dorset ewe Dolly
