Environmental Biotechnology is the multidisciplinary integration of sciences and engineering in order to utilize the huge biochemical potential of microorganisms, plants and parts thereof for the restoration and preservation of the environment and for the sustainable use of resources.

     

Environmental biotechnology is defined as the development, use and regulation of biological system e.g. cells, cell compartments, enzymes, for remediation of contaminated enviroments (land, air, water and sedimets), and for environment-friendly processes (green manifacturing technologies and sustainable development).

The primary role of environmental biotechnology is to develop better approches for susteinable development and for undersatnding processes in the natural environment. The driving force of biotechnology is abilities of microorganism utilizations of various carbon sourceas natural occuring as pollutans.
