title: [Escherichia coli in biotechnology].
abstract: Escherichia coli plays a central role in modern biotechnology i.e. gene technology and fermentation. This article summarizes the basic principles of genetic engineering using human type I interferon genes as an example. The second part describes the advantages and the problems encountered using E. coli as a production organism.
