Molecular biotechnology results from the convergence of many areas of research, such as molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, genetics and cell biology. Molecular biotechnology has applications in plant and animal agriculture, aquaculture, chemical and textile manufacturing, forestry and food processing. Every aspect of our lives in the coming decades will be affected by this dynamic field. This book on Molecular Biotechnology is divided in two volumes and contains five sections. Volume I contains 1 to 16 chapters and Volume II has 17 to 28 chapters.
