Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation and structure of one-component biotechnological terms of the English and Ukrainian languages. The common word formation tendencies, which are characteristic of both studied languages, are defined, which include the cases of predominance of fixation as a way of generating biotechnological terms, peculiarities of the formation of composites with the predominance of terms with the connecting vocal in the Ukrainian language and hyphenated writing in the English language. On the basis of the analysis of existing forms of one-component terms, the most productive methods of their formation by affixal method are established with the use of a large number of Latin and Greek elements.
