a. Production of food, vaccines/ Production of primary metabolites; acids, alcohol/ Production of secondary metabolites: antibiotics/ Biotransformation reactions: enzymatic, steroids
b. Strain improvement is done in order to maximize metabolite production by:
- Mutant selection : There are two methods - Physical method; Chemical Method
- Genetic engineering
