The foundations
of pharmaceutical biotechnology mainly lie in the capability of plants, microorganism and
animals to produce low and high molecular weight compounds useful as
therapeutics.
Although
molecules from plants and microorganisms are preferred extraction from plant
biomass needs tedious downstream processing while in case of microorganisms it
is easy with fewer amounts of impurities.
Pharmaceutical
biotechnology is poised to flourish for the last 4-6 decades with the advent of
recombinant DNA technology and metabolic engineering supported by the
well-developed bioprocess technology.
