Nel linguaggio corrente, si utilizza più frequentemente il termine al plurale (biotecnologie), ad indicare la pluralità di tecnologie sviluppate e i relativi ambiti di applicazione.	In current discourse, the term 'biotechnologies' in the plural is often used to indicate the plurality of developing technologies and their varying areas of application.
Le biotecnologie sono utilizzate nel settore agroalimentare per ottimizzare il ruolo dei microrganismi, conosciuto da secoli, nella produzione di alimenti comuni.	Biotechnologies are used in the food-farming industry to optimise the role of micro-organisms - already known for centuries - in the production of common foods.
La conoscenza più approfondita (a livello molecolare) dei processi fermentativi di vino e birra, nonché dei meccanismi di incrocio e selezione di varietà animali e vegetali ha portato negli ultimi decenni il settore agroalimentare ad essere sempre più influenzato dalle biotecnologie.	Deeper understanding (atmolecular level) of the fermentation processes of wine and beer, as well as the mechanics of cross-breeding and the selection of different varieties of animals and plants has led in the recent decades to the agri-food sector being ever more influenced by biotechnology.
Numerose sono anche le applicazioni nel campo del biorisanamento (trattamento, riciclo e bonifica di rifiuti attraverso microrganismi attivi).	It has numerous applications in the field of biological cleaning (the treatment, recycling and cleansing of waste via active microorganisms).
Vi sono applicazioni che, pur non servendosi di microrganismi, sono classificate come biotecnologiche.	There are applications which, though not using microorganisms, are classified as biotechnologies.
Le biotecnologie sono infatti ampiamente utilizzate nello sviluppo di nuove terapie mediche o innovativi strumenti diagnostici.	Biotechnologies are in fact widely used in the development of new therapies in medicine or of innovative diagnostic instruments.
Le tecniche di DNA e RNA microarray utilizzate in genetica ed i radiotraccianti utilizzati in medicina sono ottimi esempi.	The techniques of DNA and RNA microarray used in genetics and in radio-tracing used in medicine are excellent examples.
Le biotecnologie sono tuttavia più spesso associate all'utilizzo di organismi geneticamente modificati.	Biotechnologies are however still more often associated with the use of genetically-modifed organisms.
Microrganismi come Escherichia coli o alcuni batteri possono essere utilizzati per la sintesi di sostanze come insulina o antibiotici.	Microorganisms like E-coli or other bacteria can be used for the synthesis of substances such as insulin or antibiotics.
Anche cellule di mammifero geneticamente modificate sono ampiamente utilizzate nella biosintesi di farmaci.	Even the cells of mammals genetically modified are widely used in the biosynthesis of drugs.
Promettenti nuove applicazioni sono legate alla biosintesi di farmaci attraverso organismi vegetali.	Promising new applications are linked to biosynthesis of drugs via plant organisms.
