In industrial microbiology, microorganisms are particularly important to synthesize a number of products valuable to human beings and have profoundly changed our lives and life spans. These products include beverages, food additives, products for human and animal health, and biofuels. In addition, microorganisms have the ability to produce chemical compounds that have not been synthesized in the laboratory or may be made only with great difficulty. Moreover, some chemical products may be made more cheaply by the action of microorganisms on inexpensive carbohydrate materials than from other chemical compounds. In this article, we discuss recent developments in the industrial production of chemical products by microorganisms. |
