Some microorganisms have enzymes capable of catalyzing reactions that are difficult or unfeasible by standard industrial chemical treatments. What process takes advantage of these microbes' abilities, by growing the them in the presence of the enzyme's substrate, allowing the microbe to catalyze the step needed to produce some industrial products

Answer:

Metabolic Engineering

Step-by-step explanation:

Metabolic engineering refers to the process of modifying the genetic and enzymatic processes within cells in order to optimize the output of products. When constraints are noticed in the normal biological process, scientists endeavor to modify the constraints so that wide scale production can be realized.

Examples of processes that incorporate this technique are beer, cheese, wine and some drugs production.
