BioTech's Biotechnology Dictionary
A searchable online dictionary of biology, chemistry and biotechnology terms. This free resource is still very much under construction. Currently, most of the 8300+ terms deal with biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, cell biology and genetics. There are also some terms relating to ecology, limnology, pharmacology, toxicology and medicine. Don't expect to find common or exotic animals here; there are far too many species to cover even a fraction in a resource like this. However, medically- and biotechnologically-relevant organisms such as bacteria, worms, fungi, and some plants are included. Looking for a chemical acronym? Try searching BioTech's Chemical Acronyms Database.
