Question

introduction on role of microorganisms in industry

Answer 1

Industrial microbiology is a branch of biotechnology that applies microbial sciences to create industrial products in mass quantities. There are multiple ways to manipulate a microorganism in order to increase maximum product yields. Introduction of mutations into an organism many be accomplished by introducing them to mutagens. Another way to increase production is by gene amplification, this is done by the use of plasmids, and vectors. The plasmids and/ or vectors are used to incorporate multiple copies of a specific gene that would allow more enzymes to be produced that eventually cause more product yield.[1] The manipulation of organisms in order to yield a specific product has many applications to the real world like the production of some antibiotics, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, solvents, alcohol and daily products. They can also be used in an agricultural application and use them as a biopesticede instead of using dangerous chemicals or as inoculants and help plant proliferation.

Answer 2

Hi!!!!

Please mark my answer as the brainliest!!!

Following are the different ways in which microorganisms are used in industries.

1) Microorganisms in food industry.Microorganisms are used in the production of fermented food and beverages. E.g. Yeast, Penicillium, Lactobacillus.

2) Microorganisms in pharmaceutical industry.They also have immense potential in the field of medicine. They are used industrially for the production of antibiotics, vaccines. Insuline, growth hormones and diagnostic kits. E.g. E. coli, Polio virus.

3) Microorganisms in Agriculture industry.Microorganisms have been ruling in agriculture from the past century. They are used as Biofertilizers and Biopesticides. E.g. Rhizobium, Bacillus, Azotobacter.

I really hope this helps!!
Thanks
