Abstract:
Metabolic engineering is a rapidly evolving field. The term typically refers to the genetic modification of cellular biochemistry to introduce new properties or modify existing ones. Recent progress in genetics, molecular biology, microbiology and chemistry are driving advances in this field. Many well-studied areas continue to yield exciting results and new problems and technologies are constantly being developed.
