효소 생산
• Exoenzymes– Enzymes that are produced in such large amounts
that they are excreted into the medium instead of be-ing held within the cell; they are extracellular
– Can digest insoluble polymers such as cellulose, pro-tein, and starch
Enzymes as industrial products
• Enzymes are produced from fungi and bacteria– Bacterial proteases are used in laundry detergents
(can also contain amylases, lipases, and reductases)• Isolated from alkaliphilic bacteria
• Amylases and glucoamylases are also commer-cially important– Produce high-fructose syrup
Enzymes as industrial products
Microbial enzymes and their applications
• Extremozymes– Enzymes that function at some environmental ex-
treme (i.e., pH or temperature)– Produced by extremophiles
Enzymes as industrial products
Examples of extremozymes: Acid-tolerant enzymes

Biopolymers
• Poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB)– Bioplastic (bacterial plastic)
• Dextrin (a group of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates produced by the hydrolysis of starch or glycogen), cyclodextrin, and other polysaccharides– Used to modify flow characteristics of liquids and to
serve as gelling agents
• The recalcitrance of plastics has fueled re-search efforts into a biodegradable alter-native (biopolymers)

• Used for emulsification, increasing detergency, wetting and phase dispersion, and solubilization
• Important in bioremediation, oil spill dispersion, and enhancing oil recovery
• Many have antibacterial and antifungal activity; some inactivate enveloped viruses
Biosurfactants

살충제 생산
• Biological agents, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, or their components, which can be used to kill a susceptible insect
Microbial insecticides (biopesticides)
• Bacillus thuringiensis– Produces a parasporal body during sporulation as
an intracellular protein toxin crystal– Parasporal body
• Acts as microbial insecticide (Bt toxin) for specific groups of insects
– Bt toxin • used for over 40 years• unlike chemical insecticides, does not accumulate in en-
vironment

광물 정제
• In microbial leaching, low-grade ore is dumped in a large pile (the leach dump) and sulfuric acid is added to maintain a low pH
• The liquid emerging from the bottom of the pile is enriched in dissolved metals and is transported to a precipitation plant
• Bacterial oxidation of Fe2+ (ferrous iron, 2 가철 ) is critical in microbial leaching as Fe3+ (ferric iron, 3 가철 ) itself can ox-idize metals in the ores
Microbial leaching of ores
Microbial leaching of low-grade copper ores
Microbial leaching
• Microbes are also used in the leaching of uranium and gold ores

기타 역할
• Microbes for nanotechnology– e.g., use of diatom 3-D structures as templates– e.g., use magnetosomes from magnetotactic bacteria
in magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) applications and as probes to detect cancer
Microbes as products for nanotechnology
• Living microbes, enzymes or organelles are linked to electrodes to detect specific sub-stances– detection is done by converting biological reaction
products into electrical currents
• Have a broad range of applications
Biotechnological applications: Biosensors
생명공학에 필요한새로운 유전자 탐색
• Gene mining– The process of isolating potentially useful novel genes
from the environment without culturing the organism – To do so, DNA (or RNA) is directly isolated from the
environment, cloned into appropriate expression vec-tors, and the library screened for activities of interest
Mining genomes
* Metagenome - The total genome of all the cells present in a particular environment
Metagenomic search for useful genes in the environment

• Engineering metabolic pathways in bacteria• Genetic engineering of animals• Gene therapy in humans• Transgenic plants in agriculture
Transgenic organisms
• Transgenic organism– An organism that contains a gene from another organism
– Also refers to genetically engineered organisms whether
or not they contain foreign DNA
• The production of small metabolites by genetic en-gineering typically involves multiple genes that must be coordinately expressed
• Pathway engineering– The process of assembling a new or improved biochemi-
cal pathway using genes from one or more organisms
Transgenic organisms: Engineering metabolic pathways in bacteria
• Genetic engineering can be used to develop transgenic animals
• Transgenic animals are useful for – Producing human proteins that require specific post-
translational modifications– Medical research– Improving livestock and other food animals for human
consumption

• Gene therapy: treatment of a disease caused by a dysfunctional gene by introducing a functional copy of the gene
• Many human genetic diseases are known and gene therapy holds promise for tackling these dis-eases
• The use of recombinant DNA technology and con-ventional genetic studies allows for the localization of particular genetic defects to specific regions of the genome
Transgenic organisms: Gene theraphy in humans
• Many successes in plant genetic engineering
- Several transgenic plants are in agricultural production
• The plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens can be used to introduce DNA into plants
• A. tumefaciens contains the Ti plasmid, which is responsible for virulence
• The Ti plasmid contains genes that mobilize DNA for transfer to the plant
Transgenic organisms: Transgenic plants in agriculture
Production of transgenic plants using A. tumefaciens
• Tobacco was the first genetically modified (GM) plant to be grown commercially– 2005 estimates that > 1 billion acres of agricultural land
are growing GM crops
• Several areas are targeted for genetic improve-ments in plants including herbicide, insect, and mi-crobial disease resistance as well as improved product quality
Transgenic organisms: Transgenic plants in agriculture
Transgenic plant with herbicide resistance
• One of the most widely used approaches for ge-netically engineering insect resistance in plants involves the introduction of genes encoding the toxic protein of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt toxin)

• Improving product quality is another target area of genetic engineering of plants – e.g., spoilage delay
• Transgenic plants can also be employed to pro-duce human proteins for medical use– e.g., insulin, interferon, antibodies, vaccines
Transgenic organisms: Transgenic plants in agriculture
• Industrial ecology– Concerned with tracking flow of elements and
compounds through natural world (biosphere) and social world (anthrosphere)
• Microbiologists must:– Understand potential impacts of new products and
processes on the broader society as well as on microbiology
– Communicate effectively with the various “societal stakeholders” about the immediate and longer-term potential impacts of biotechnologies
