Summary	An important feature of biotechnology is the use of enzymes and microorganisms to manufacture products useful to society. These products range from industrial alcohol, food additives and other bulk products, to antibiotics and recombinant therapeutic proteins. In this module we will consider important aspects of enzymes and microorganisms related to their use in industry, and methods for the discovery or generation of novel biocatalysts. We will also discuss technologies used in important commercial processes including the manufacture of antibiotics, monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins, as well as new approaches to drug discovery and the development of new therapeutic agents.
