What Does an Industrial Microbiologist Do?

A branch of industrial microbiology. It applies the theory and technology of microbiology and engineering to study the morphological, physiological, biochemical and genetic characteristics of industrial microorganisms. Industrial microorganisms include, single-cell algae, yeast and other fungi, as well as new cells and cell cultures of animals and plants that have been modified by various artificial means.

Industrial Microbiology

(Subject name)

Isolate and screen useful bacteria from a large number of microorganisms from nature, and then improve them. The microorganisms stored for production are called industrial microorganisms. Usually in

(1) Cheap raw materials, rapid growth and high yield of target products.

(2) Easy to control

Before A.van Levenhoek discovered microbes with a homemade microscope, ancient times

The main sectors of applied industrial microorganisms are:

Industrial microbiology provides a theoretical basis for the scientific use of industrial microorganisms by humans. Fermented industrial products occupy a very important position in the world economy. Tens of billions of yuan can be avoided every year due to the control of harmful microorganisms. The current main problem is to use advanced bioengineering technology to transform microorganisms as soon as possible to produce more new products; to closely integrate the traditional fermentation industry and modern new technologies to modernize the production of traditional products.
