Other than fermentation, preservatives, and genetic engineering, what other commercial uses are there for microbes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Antibiotics

OpenStudy (trancenova):

Biogas.. oh I suppose that counts as fermentation. Hmmm used in the treatment of sewage. Agriculture - they're really important for soils. In agriculture you would inoculate your legumes with microbes (for nodules).
