Biotechnology as an art has been practiced for a long time in traditional activities such as fermentation and brewing. It has now emerged as a separate discipline, pointing to future revolutionary developments for the good of mankind. Spectacular advances that have taken place in the field of biotechnology in the last two decades have a profound impact on the socio-cultural scene, life-style, health care system, availability of food, employment opportunities, ...
The ecological theories and principles not only apply to plants and animals in their natural environment but also to human beings on a global scale. This offshoot of ecology i.e. the study of ecological principles and their application to the Human situation, a key for sustainable development, has been known as Environmental Sciences. This science not only deals with system concept, resources and pollution, it also encompasses human Ecology, Population and ...
Our environment is an open and dynamic system. It is important that we, within this environment, function within a continued atmosphere of openness and sharing with out fellow nations and fellow relationship can be restored and we may be able to nurture environmental ethics in our modern culture and accordingly able to keep ecologically balanced environment and maintain environmental purity.

The present dictionary is the answer for every question related to environmental science and ...
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, these small living variables occur almost everywhere including extreme environmental conditions and exhibits their metabolic activities in aerobic and anaerobic environment as well. Though the microorganisms are very divert in their morphological, biochemical, genetical and physiological characteristics, there are certain inherent and unique properties, which make them of peculiar interest. Considering these properties, ...
