This paper discusses brief background of subject gateways and development of BT-Gate. In further, it focuses on online electronic resources like e-books, e-journals, databases and glossaries available in the filed of biotechnology covered in BT-Gate and their subject-wise distribution. These electronic resources are compiled and linked in URL: http://biotechnologygateway.googlepages.com/index.html
