Microbes
And
Food- Applications of microbes to food, energy, industry and environment are interrelated in most situations. To cite an example, degradation of urban, municipal and industrial wastes by using a suitable (may be a tailored, genetically-engineered) strain of a microorganism should result into (i) disposal of pollutant, (ii) biotransformation of a waste- into a byproduct, suitable for consumption as food (conversion of agricultural waste into single cell protein is an example) and (iii) production of energy during such conversions. Therefore it is a three-way beneficial process carried out by a microbe.
