Course content
The task of biotechnology is the use of a complex 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.
Biotechnology is the discipline that today determines scientific and technological progress. The development of biotechnology is associated with the solution of global problems of mankind - the elimination of food, energy, mineral resources, improving health and environmental quality.
