FAQ: Fermentation & Biocatalysis in Modern Manufacturing
Microbial fermentation is a metabolic process that uses microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeast, or fungi, to convert raw materials (carbon sources like glucose) into high-value products. These 'cellular factories' can produce proteins, enzymes, small molecules, and primary or secondary metabolites. Unlike chemical synthesis, it relies on the biological machinery of the cell to build complex molecules.
