Terminology
• Biotechnology: use of GMO organisms to carry out certain chemical processes for use in industrial applications.
• Molecular Biology: science that reveals the events in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic living cells, by examining the structure and function of cells and the interaction between cells at the molecular level in a laboratory environment.
Terminology
• Genetic Engineering: Techniques in which genetic structures of
individuals or cells are altered by selectively removing gene groups or individual genes from the genome, incorporating them into the genome, or changing their properties.
Terminology
• Industrial Microbiology: large-scale use of microorganisms to produce products of commercial importance.
• Microbial Biotechnology: Uses gene manipulation methods for the production of new microbial products, many of which are not naturally produced by microorganisms.
Biotechnology: Plants, animals and microorganisms, that are living things, or their cell structures or products; used for production, transformation or service purposes (health, food, agriculture sectors etc.).

A- WASTEWATER TREATMENT A- WASTEWATER TREATMENT
AND WATER PURIFICATION
AND WATER PURIFICATION
• Waste water: Water from domestic sewage water or industrial sources that cannot be discharged to lakes or rivers when not treated.
• Untreated (raw) water: Surface or groundwater that has not undergone any treatment
• Purified water: Water treated in a wastewater treatment plant and treated
• Potable water: Safe potable water for human consumption
• Drinking water: Drinkable water supplied to the distribution system after treatment
Coliform group bacteria
•Coliforms are determined by EMS test.
•Waterborne diseases and their relationship with the water purification process
