There are two principal biotechnological appHcations dealing with steroids. Microbial agents are used for processing raw materials into useful intermediates for general steroid production and for specific transformations of steroids to advanced intermediates or finished products (120,145).

Even on the rather simplified arguments described here, it should be clear that biotechnological approaches are generally more environmentally friendly and that we can apply biotechnological strategies to inorganic, as well as organic chemicals. We... 

Although it is possible to obtain cells from whole animals or plants and to cultivate them in suitable nutrient solutions, in general they are not as easy to handle as microbes. Nevertheless, plant and animal cells are a valuable genetic resource for biotechnology and many newly developed bioprocesses rely on transfer of their genes to micro-organisms. 

The disadvantages of biocatalysts will now be considered, followed by their advantages. You should note that the pros and cons of biotechnology versus chemical synthesis are very general and that exceptions may exist. 

In bioprocesses, the feedstocks required to grow the catalysts and produce the chemical renewable are generally renewable resources, such as sugar from crops. Conversely, purely feedstocks chemical synthesis relies largely on non-renewable resources such as oil, coal and natural gas. It follows that as non-renewable resources dwindle, it is likely that biotechnology will become increasingly important to the chemical industry. 

The Cyclobond materials are some of the most effective in separating isiomers generally and their development continues. It is likely that chiral chromatography will become increasingly important as the products from biotechnology continue to proliferate into the pharmaceutical field. 

To understand the extraordinary potential for DNA to be utilized as a material in construction processes, the general properties of this biomolecule will first be discussed. In addition, examples of naturally occurring nucleic acid-based nanostructures will be described that are of great importance both for cellular processes and conventional applications in molecular biotechnology.
