工业生物技术的前沿科技

Frontier science for industrial biotechnology

摘要:

随着石化资源逐步消耗，气候问题日益凸显，工业生物技术被认为是解决能源和资源供给、应对气候变化、实现绿色可持续发展的重要方向。得益于理论突破、技术变革和学科交叉，工业生物技术主要经历了由生命科学突破性成就、多学科技术理念交汇融合和产业应用导向推动的3个阶段。本文回顾总结了工业生物技术的发展历程及近年来取得的重要突破，并展望了其未来发展方向。

Abstract:

With the increasing concerns on depletion of fossil resources and climate challenges, industrial biotechnology is considered a promising alternative to address the pressing issues including energy and resource shortage as well as climate change, so as to achieve sustainable development of the society. Owning to the theoretical advances, technological breakthroughs, and multidisciplinary convergence, the past two decades have seen rapid development of industrial biotechnology driven by the disruptive advances of life sciences, the merging of multidisciplinary technologies and concepts, and the commercial and industrial demands. This article briefly illustrated the history and the recent breakthroughs of industrial biotechnology and prospected a long-term perspective for its future direction.
