Preface to the special issue on the 10th anniversary of Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

摘要:

工业生物技术是指以微生物或酶为催化剂进行物质转化，大规模地生产人类所需的化学品、医药、燃料、材料、食品等产品的生物技术。发展工业生物技术是人类由化石经济向生物经济过渡的关键路径，是解决人类目前面临的资源、能源及环境问题的重要手段。中国科学院天津工业生物技术研究所是我国工业生物技术和生物制造领域的主力代表。本文结合该研究所成立十年来的发展，简要回顾了我国工业生物技术发展战略规划布局、重要技术突破进展和行业影响，并对我国工业生物技术和生物制造的未来发展进行了展望分析。

Abstract:

Industrial biotechnology is the application of biotechnology for the large-scale processing and production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, fuels, materials, food and other products required by human society with microorganisms or enzymes as catalysts. The development of industrial biotechnology is the key path enabling the transition from fossil economy to bioeconomy. It will bring sustainable solutions to the natural resource use, energy supply and environmental protection currently faced by mankind. Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the main representative of China’s industrial biotechnology and biomanufacturing. Based on the development of the institute in the past decade, this review summarizes the strategic plan, important technological breakthroughs and industry impacts of China’s industrial biotechnology development, and prospects future development of industrial biotechnology and biomanufacturing in China.
