Current problems and developments in biotechnology . Current developments in the field of biotechnology together with the actual problems are described with the aid of some examples. The new field of biotechnology has arisen especially from three methods, viz. gene technology, immobilized biocatalysts, and new developments in process technology. The influence of these methods on the development production techniques for ethanol, glycerol, HFCS, various secondary compounds, proteins, hormones, monoclonal antibodies, products from plant cells, but also on environmental biotechnology is described. These examples show that „classic” biotechnology has greatly expanded by application of the methods presented. However, a comparison with the development of microprocessors is not yet possible.
