Industrial microbiology is primarily associated with the commercial exploitation of microorganisms, and involves processes and products that are of major economic, environmental and gregarious consequentiality throughout the world

Industrial microbiology or microbial biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by microorganism such as bacterial, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses. Another definition of industrial microbiology is the plant and animal cells to create useful product or processes. Industrial microbiology deals with the discovery of new organisms and pathways such as drugs. It also deals with the products associated with food, dairy, and consumer products industries.
