Microorganisms are minute living things that are diverse, unique, and ubiquitous in nature. They are used in the production of fermented foods like beer and wine through fermentation. Microorganisms are also used to produce enzymes and bioactive compounds for medical and pharmaceutical applications, as well as in bioremediation and waste treatment. The document introduces microbial biotechnology and what microorganisms are before directing the reader to watch an accompanying video presentation.
