Microbes And Industry

Microbes And Industry - Applications of microbes in industry are well known. Various microorganisms are used for commercial production of alcohols, acids, fermented foods, vitamins, medicines, enzymes etc. One recent development in industrial microbiology has been the production of immobilised enzymes and cells for production of these chemicals at enhanced rates with simultaneous recovery of the enzyme(s) involved in such processes.

New strains of microbes have also been developed through recombinant DNA technology for overproduction of metabolites. Immobilised enzymes and cells could have their maximum application in industrial microbiology. Immobilised enzymes have also been utilised in medicine.
