background: nano-biotechnology is considered as one of the mainly vigorous field of research in new material science. recently, biosynthetic methods employing both biological microorganisms such as bacteria and fungus or plants extract have developed speedily as a trouble-free and feasible choice to obtain nanomaterials alternative to more complex chemical synthetic procedures. the particular d...

White biotechnology can be regarded as applied biocatalysis, with enzymes and microorganisms, aiming at industrial production of bulk and fine chemicals to food and animal feed additives. In its turn biocatalysis has many attractive features in the context of greenchemistry: mild reaction conditions (physiological pH and temperature); environmentally compatible catalysts and solvent (often wate...

White Biotechnology is an emerging field within modern biotechnology that serves industry. It uses living cells like moulds, yeasts or bacteria, as well as enzymes to produce goods and services. Living cells can be used as they are or improved to work as „cell factories” to produce enzymes for industry. White biotechnology comprises a large number of scientific disciplines and is based on novel...

Presented at the International Review Conference on Biotechnology, Vienna, Austria, November 2004 Legal and social aspects of biotechnology in Poland are of key interest for all of us but they are largely underestimated. Biotechnology is a very broad notion and may be discussed in at least four different fields, quite o�en labelled by colours: Green: this is agriculture and food industry; the ...

Systems biology has been changing the way biological and biotechnological research is performed. Now, systems biological approaches can be taken to develop bioprocesses for the production of valuable drugs, commodity and fine chemicals, fuels, and polymers and other materials; this is termed systems biotechnology. Here I present the general strategies for systems biotechnology and several examp...
