APPLICATIONS OF FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGY 

• Production of biomass. E.g. of spirulina and yeast.
• Production of enzymes and nucleic acids.
• Production of metabolites, both primary (e.g. ethanol, lactic acid) and secondary (e.g. antibiotics, antimetabolites).
• Enzymatic conversion of specific substrates. E.g. glucose to fructose.
• Enzymatic conversion of multiple substrates. E.g. biological wastes.
