Gbr. Biotechnology functionality to meet the needs of human

The development of biotechnology:
1.


The era of first generation biotechnology biotechnology þ simple.
The use of microbes are still traditional, and in the production of food crops and food preservation.

Example:
making tempe, tape, vinegar, and others.

2.


Second-generation biotechnology era.
The process takes place in circumstances not sterile.

Example:
a. production of chemicals: aseton, citric acid
b. waste water treatment
c. making compost

3.


Third-generation biotechnology era.
Process in the sterile condition.

Example:
production of antibiotics and hormones

4.
New generation of biotechnology era þ new biotechnology.
