   2. Abstract:
      All original articles must accompany a structured abstract up to 150 words. It should state objective of the study, design setting, main outcome measures, results, analytical methods, give specific data and their statistical significance, Emphasize new and important aspects of the study of observation.
   3. Introduction:
      This should summarize the purpose of the article and the rationale for the study. It should neither review the subject extensively nor it should have conclusions data of the study.

3. Short Contributions:
   
   Shorts reports of new results of special interest will be published as a short contribution. Authors are asked to append a note explaining why the text merits publication in this form.

They should provide a short historical outline of the development, extensively review the current state and conclude with an out line of trends and prospect for the future. For biotechnological products, the competitiveness of the biotechnological process as compared to chemical process or to processes, which rely on the isolation of the product from natural sources, should be provided. Applications and cost figures should be provided. Mini review should contain a structural formula or a photograph of the biotechnological products, an outline of the biosynthesis pathway, a scheme of the apparatus, plant or reactor or a flow scheme of the process. Mini review should not exceed 5 printed pages in length. Authors are asked to contact the Editor before submission a mini review.
5. Procedure:
