1. Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
Invented by KeyGene, a Dutch biotech company based in Wageningen, Holland The technique is now merchandised under licence agreement by Perkin Elmer. Selected markers are amplified in a PCR , which makes AFLP an easy and fast tool for strain identification in agriculture , botany , microbiology and animal breeding.

2. Arabidopsis thaliana
Arabidopsis thaliana is a small, weedy flowering plant that has been intensely studied as a model for plant biology and pathology. It has been such a favorite of researchers primarily because it grows rapidly and has a compact genome.
|
3. Astrobiology (exobiology)
The study of life that potentially exists on planets or celestial bodies other than Earth.
|
4. Bacillus subtilis
B. subtilis is a Gram-positive , rod-shaped, nonpathogenic bacterium which lives in soil. Its genome has been widely studied and is frequently used in genetic engineering and microbiology experiments.

5. Bio-
A prefix indicating that the word has something to do with life, living things, or the science of biology .
|
6. Biocenology (cenobiology, biocoenology)
A field of ecology which deals with the study of communities of organisms and the interactions and relationships between the member organisms.
|
7. Bioconversion
In industrial microbiology, the use of microorganisms to convert an added chemical to a chemically modified form.
|
8. Biogenetic law (recapitulation theory, "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny")
The theory that " ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny ," which means that one can trace the evolutionary development of a species by studying the development of an individual embryo or young of that species. The theory is still used, especially in paleontology , but has been found to not be strictly true when applied to problems in biology .
|
9. Biohazard
A risk of exposure to harmful bacteria , virus es, or other dangerous biological agents, particularly those found in genetic recombination studies or in clinical microbiology labs.
|
10. Biological oceanography
The study of marine plants and animals and the way they interact with the marine environments. Similar to the study of marine biology.
