1.1.1 Introduction
1.1.1. Introduction
Biotechnology arose from the field of zymotechnology, which began as a search for a better understanding of industrial fermentation, particularly beer.
The heyday and expansion of zymotechnology came in World War I in response to industrial needs to support the war.
The industrial potential of fermentation was outgrowing its traditional home in brewing, and "zymotechnology" soon gave way to"biotechnology."
