Advantages and disadvantages of Bioremediation Advantages 1) Bioremediation is a natural process. 2) It is cost effective. 3) Toxic chemicals are destroyed or removed from environment and not just merely separated. 4) Low capital expenditure. 5) Less energy is required as compared to other technologies 6) Less manual supervision. Disadvantages 1) The process of bioremediaiton is slow. Time required is in day to months. 2) Heavy metals are not removed. 3) For insitu bioremediation

Genome editing technology that manipulates DNA freely has been receiving much attention in recent years. Among them‚ Crispa CAS 9 (CRISPR / CAS 9) is supposed to be a winner of the Nobel prize in the past few years. In fact‚ the discovery that was the basis of this technology was done by Professor Yoshinaga Ishino (then a researcher at the Institute for Microbiological Diseases‚ Osaka University) of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences‚ Kyushu University. Mr. Ishino found the repeating sequence

Genetic engineering (GE) refers to the technique of modification or manipulation of genes (the biological material or chemical blue print that determines a living organism’s traits) from one organism to another thus giving bacteria‚ plants‚ and animals‚ new features. The technique of selecting the best seed or the best traits of plants has been around for centuries. Humans have learned to graft (fuse) and hybridize (cross breed) plants‚ creating dwarfs and other useful forms since at least 1000 B
