The enormous diversity of #microorganisms in the environment
offers an almost unlimited gene pool for new enzymes and metabolic
pathways. The discovery of new natural products continues to be of
great interested for the production of #pharmaceuticals. An exciting
approach to generating new products is to evolve novel metabolic
pathways in a microbial cell by means of the technique of metabolic
engineering. Cell culture is playing an increasingly more significant
role in drug discovery. Animal cell biotechnology constitutes an
important field in #Biotechnology nowadays. Animal cells produce
many biological of great value involving enzymes, hormones,
growth factors, viral vaccines, or #monoclonal antibodies, and many
therapeutic proteins require #post-translational modifications
which can be only fully performed by animal cells. Insect virus,
immune-regulators or whole cells, which are used for toxicological
testing, can be obtained from animal.
