The book is rich in content, up-to-date, and written in fluent, readable language, providing a comprehensive introduction to the concepts, principles, research methods, development trends, and application areas of modern biotechnology. The content covers genetic engineering, cellular engineering, fermentation engineering, enzyme engineering, protein engineering, and the applications of biotechnology in fields such as agriculture, food, medicine, energy, and environmental protection. Additionally, it briefly introduces the protection of innovations in biotechnology and the safety of biotechnology. The book is divided into 13 chapters, each followed by an abstract, review questions, and references.
