Their optimal exploitation requires advanced scientific and technological expertise, ranging from strain selection and metabolic engineering to the development of industrial bioprocesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether natural or genetically optimized, microorganisms only become viable industrial solutions when their transformation into robust, efficient, and scalable processes is mastered. This step toward industrial scale is crucial to ensure the success of these applications and to fully unlock their potential, enabling a lasting reduction of the environmental and health impacts of
