Abstract

Synthetic biology is now in a position to overcome many, hitherto, cumbersome and resource consuming manufacturing tasks. Society has now accepted the advent of such entities as recombinant insulin , monoclonal antibodies etc as essential for the future well being of human life. We can now use the bio engineered tools available to us to create systems which make manufacturing health or environmentally associated products simpler and more economical.
