Avenir prometteur pour les experts dans ce domaine qui recèle le plus de promesses d'expansion. La vie des micro-organismes aura un retentissement considérable dans les domaines les plus variés : santé, agro-alimentaire, chimie. Les spécialistes en génie génétique et en biologie moléculaire devront maîtriser les disciplines classiques de la biologie et de la chimie. Mais, jusqu'à présent, malgré les perspectives importantes de débouchés à moyen terme, ils sont beaucoup moins nombreux que les spécialistes formés à la manipulation de cet infiniment petit qui doit provoquer tant de bouleversements. 1, record 1, French, - biotechnologiste

Le terme «Biotechnologiste» est tiré du «Livre mondial des Inventions», 1986, p. 308. 1, record 1, French, - biotechnologiste
