Question
Chapter 16.1, Problem 12RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:Â
1. The sources of new potential microbial products.
2. The difference between source strain and industrial strain.
Introduction:
Microbes are the most abundant organisms on the planet and are responsible for the production of thousand types of products. Microbial products may be the organism itself or any of the metabolites produced by the microbial cells. The examples of microbial products include antibiotics, fermented food products and many more.
