Therefore, the second edition maintains the structure of the first edition while adding new knowledge within the field and correcting errors, as well as removing outdated content. The book is rich in content, up-to-date, well-written, and highly readable, providing a comprehensive introduction to the concepts, principles, research methods, development trends, and application areas of modern biotechnology. The content covers genetic engineering, cell engineering, fermentation engineering, enzyme engineering, protein engineering, and the applications of biotechnology in fields such as agriculture, food, medicine, energy, and environmental protection. It also briefly introduces the protection of biotechnological innovations and the safety of biotechnology. The book is divided into 13 chapters, each followed by an abstract, review questions, and references. It can serve as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as teachers in comprehensive universities, normal universities, agricultural and forestry universities, and medical colleges. It can also be used as a textbook for non-biological majors in higher education institutions for quality education.
