Shonnard4Genetic Engineeringallows for the alteration of metabolism by insertion or deletion of selected genes in a predetermined manner ( Metabolic Engineering). An understanding of Metabolic Pathways in the organism of interest is of primary importance in bioprocess development.
Catabolism Metabolic reactions in the cell that degrade a substrate into smaller / simpler products. Glucose → CO 2 Anabolism Metabolic reactions that result in the synthesis of larger / more complex molecules. 4 ... Principles of ME and Mixed Acid Fermentation
