Abstract
Synthetic biology is the field of biology that is involved in the manufacturing of genomic material designed by man with subsequent introduction into a chassis. A synthetic life has a minimal genome of about 500-800 genes as well as a few additional genes required to fulfill a particular task. Synthetic life forms can be used for the production of valuable target compounds such as the antimalarial drug artemisinin. This technology is applicable to all sub- fields of biotechnology and biology, but it is, in particular, relevant for the making of target compounds; it can be used for the making of biofuels, drugs, energy, artificial photosynthesis, in medicine, bioremediation/biosensors, in the chemical industry, and in agriculture. It is believed that these novel artificial strains will become the ruling strains in the near future with many a use in many a field. This paper outlines the positive aspects of synthetic life forms as well as the methods used to generate artificial life forms.
