Abstract
Biotechnology is one of the new key technologies of the present day. Modern biotechnology is expected to solve the central problems of the human race such as sufficient supplies of energy, raw materials, food and efficient treatment of diseases as well as the degradation of oil contaminations and the removal of pollution from drinking water.
