The major industrial applications of fermentation are constantly improved with the advances in molecular biology, microbiology and biotechnology, as fermentation is essentially an integration of all of these studies with a singular aim to improve the quality and quantity of the product. In the present era, the fermentation processes are basically used for medicinally or pharmaceutically relevant products and the fermented food production for human consumption. We are applying and optimizing the natural or manipulated biological systems as well as their environment to increase the yield of commercially viable products, like enzymes, antibodies, antibiotics, hormones and much more.
