Microbial Biotechnology

Technological applications that make use microbes or their derivatives to make or modify specific products are used microbial biotechnology. Microbes whether cultured or genetically modified organisms serve the base of microbial biotechnology. Analysis and manipulation of microbial potential has endowed the marvellous growth in Industrial and Pharmaceutical Microbiology.  The microbial biotechnology covers activities, ranging from production of recombinant human hormones to that of microbial insecticides, from mineral leaching to bioremediation of toxic wastes.
