Features: This textbook aims to provide students with a profound understanding of the fundamental principles and key implementation points of modern biotechnology, rather than offering a comprehensive overview of its various branches. For this purpose, the content is divided into two parts in the form of an "Introduction." The first part briefly introduces the basic concepts, principles, and fundamental operational techniques of the five major biotechnologies (genetic engineering, cell engineering, fermentation engineering, enzyme engineering, and protein engineering). The second part focuses on introducing the practical applications of biotechnology in fields such as agriculture, food industry, human health, energy development, and environmental protection. This textbook integrates theoretical knowledge of biotechnology with practical applications, extensively citing technical operation cases to achieve a combination of technical theory and practical application.
