<p>Bioprospecting is a short name for Biodiversity Prospecting. </p>
<p>It is scientific and technological research that looks for a useful application, process, or product in nature.&nbsp; </p>
<p>In many cases, bioprospecting is a search for useful organic compounds in microorganisms, plants, animals, and fungi that grow in&nbsp;diverse environments including extreme environments&nbsp;such as rainforests, deserts, and hot springs.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
<p>An example is <a title="Arazyme" class="new" href="../../../../../Bioprospecting/Biowiki/index.php?title=Arazyme&amp;action=edit">Arazyme</a> that was discovered in a microorganism of a spider in Korea. The enzyme is resistent to high and low PH and extreme temperatures for an enzyme.</p>
