Course content
Biotechnology is an integrated science that emerged at the intersection of biological, chemical and technical sciences. It is the only discipline that combines basic and applied science with production. The task of biotechnology is to use a set of basic, applied sciences and technical means aimed at obtaining and using cells of microorganisms, animals and plants, as well as products of their vital activity: enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, antibiotics and others. The interaction of biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, genetic engineering, microbiology, chemistry and chemical technology in the field of problematic issues of biotechnology leads to the creation of new biological agents, improving the management of biosynthesis, and more.
