Industrial Microbiology
Industrial microbiology is the study of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and viruses to produce useful products on a large scale. Researchers in this field use these tiny organisms to make things like antibiotics, enzymes, vaccines, and even biofuels. By understanding how microorganisms work and interact, scientists can manipulate them to create valuable products that benefit industries like pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, agriculture, and environmental management.
