Biotechnology is an integral science that emerged at the junction of biological, chemical and technical sciences. It is the only discipline that combines fundamental and applied science with production. The task of biotechnology is to use a complex of fundamental, 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, etc. 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 control of biosynthesis, etc. Biotechnology is the discipline that today determines scientific and technological progress. The development of biotechnology is associated with the solution of global problems of humanity - the elimination of food shortages, energy, mineral resources, improving the state of health care and environmental quality.
