What Is 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 microorganisms for specific uses

Ancient beer was not just drink, but

food
Thick drink with high caloric value as well as alcohol

Yeast cells

Both beer and bread were developed around the same time

in the middle east
Early bread was flat, but when wild yeast contaminated the dough, a fluffier, sweeter bread was created
Beer arose out of the liquid soaked bread

Herbal plants have been used since ancient times
Even today, 25% of

our common medicines contain at least some compounds obtained from plants
Why do plants create these compounds?
Protection from herbivory and predation
Allelopathy - plants secrete toxins from their roots that prevent the germination of other plants in their root zone

Biopharmaceuticals

Penicillium mold

In 1928 Alexander Fleming noticed something odd about a petri

dish contaminated with mold
The mold seemed to kill the bacteria
Fleming was unable to isolate the bactericidal action

In 1940 Norman Heatley finally showed that penicillin could stop

infection
Mice were infected with streptococcus bacteria
Half were given penicillin.
Those receiving penicillin survived, those that didn’t died.

1st human patient was a policeman with staphylococcal & streptococcal

infections which had already taken part of his face and an eye
He began to recover, but later died
2nd patient was a 15 yr. old boy septic from a hip operation
Two days after receiving penicillin his temperature dropped back to normal after being at 100° for 2 wks

By D-Day the U.S. was making millions of doses.
Unfortunately,

neither Heatley nor his boss patented the discovery. This was done by U.S. firms.
Thus for 25 yrs. England had to pay royalties on its own discovery.

Desirable Characteristics for Domestication of an Animal Species
Value to humans

as food, draft, fiber, or hunting
Large herbivores offer energy use advantages
Rapidly reach their desired size
Must be able to breed in captivity
Good disposition & social structure

The switch from hunter-gatherer to farmer took place between 10 000

& 5 000 years ago
Both Eurasia & the Americas developed large numbers of domesticated crops
The development of agriculture required changes in wild plants such that they were amendable to cultivation
Many of these changes were either brought about by humans or were capitalized by them

Wheat is a grass spread seeds called grains
Mutants developed that did

Later Concepts

1900 - Not until 34 years after its publication did

Mendel’s work receive additional attention, with publications in 1900 by three Botanists: Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and Erich von Tsernak;
1902 - Walter Sutton first integrated the concepts of chromosomes with Mendel’s laws, in studies of grasshopper reproduction and cell division and concluded that Mendel’s heritable factors must be on the chromosomes.
1907 – T.H. Morgan began his work with fruit flies, ultimately mapping gene locations.

By 1910 actual components known (nucleotides)
Phoebus Levene proposed a tetranucleotide

structure for DNA

Tetranucleotide repeat of ATCG
Own data showed nucleotides not in 1:1:1:1 ratio
Differences “probably experimental error…”

So…

If DNA was a single covalently bonded tetranucleotide structure then it

couldn’t easily encode information
Proteins, on the other hand, had 20 different amino acids and could have lots of variation
Most geneticists focused on “transmission genetics” and passively accepted proteins as being the likely genetic material

“It has not escaped our notice that the specific

pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copy mechanism for the genetic material”
