Biological agents produced and derived from living plants, animals, or microorganisms include a wide range of substances such as enzymes, hormones, and antibiotics. These agents are often utilized in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals for their therapeutic properties or as bio-pesticides in agriculture. For example, insulin is a hormone derived from genetically modified bacteria, while penicillin is an antibiotic produced by the mold Penicillium. Such biological agents harness the natural processes of living organisms to benefit human health and agriculture.
