Two things to say correctly

Cells paper: you are a co-author. You are the 4th of 11 authors. Your CV and both cover letters say first author (“Erstautorschaft”). Say “co-author” / “Mitautor”, and correct it calmly if they bring it up. Details on the paper and thesis page.

Degree name: Bioengineering. Your certificate says B.Sc. Bioengineering. The TETEC letter says “Biotechnologie-Bachelor”. Say Bioengineering.
