genes encoding them. Changes to the flu virus that happen slowly over time. This
causes the changes to the seasonal flu that require us to get vaccinated against the

Industrial Microbiology Conversion of raw material to desirable end products by selected microorganisms.
Utilization of microbes in manufacturing process. The old belief was the study of
the fermentation process ==> production of beer and wine
Primary Metabolites products are necessary for microbial growth (amino acids, alcohol, organic acids)
Secondary Metabolites products are not necessary for microbial growth (antibiotics, steroids, etc.)
