Beer and Cheese
        When you are drinking a cold beer on a hot day, or eating a delicious cheese
sandwich, you can thank biotechnology for the pleasure you are experiencing. That's
right! Beer, bread and cheese are all produced using biotechnology. Perhaps a definition
will be useful to understand how. A standard definition is that biotechnology (or biotech
for short) is the application of science and engineering to the direct or indirect use of
living organisms.
        And as you know, the food and drink above are all produced by the fermentation of
micro-organisms. In beer, the yeast multiplies as it eats the sugars in the mixture and
turns them into alcohol and CO2. This ancient technique was first used in Egypt to make
bread and wine around 4000BC!
