Abstract
lthough we think of biotechnology as a new technology, its origin probably dates back more than six thousand years, based on reports that microorganisms were used in fermentation processes for the production of beer and bread. however, according to the fundamentals of agricultural bio-technology, molecular biology and related techniques are the most important events in the history of biotechnology.Initially, biotechnology was focused on the issue of human and animal health, an area in which microorganisms were used for the production of antibi-otics. Reports of in vitro cell cultures date back to the Second World War, when the culture of
