	Biotechnology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biotechnology is technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine.
		Biotechnology is also used to recycle, treat waste, clean up sites contaminated by industrial activities (bioremediation), and produce biological weapons.
		Modern biotechnology is often associated with the use of genetically altered microorganisms such as E.

	Environmental and Industrial Biotechnology in Developing Countries
		The target areas for industrial biotechnologies can be seen as falling into three main categories: industrial supplies (biochemicals, enzymes and reagents for industrial and food processing); environmental (pollution diagnostics, products for pollution prevention and bioremediation); and energy (fuels from renewable resources).
		Industrial processing refers to chemicals, pulp and paper, textiles and leather, while environmental applications relate mostly to the effects of the metal and mineral industries.
		One factor that should be remembered is that often "dirty" industrial processes arise from the tendency of foreign investors to engage in ventures with high yields in the short term so as to avoid economic and political volatility (Newell, 2001).
