Here are some: - Bacteria can be genetically modified to produce human vaccines like insulin, which is required for diabetic patients. - Microbial fermentation helps produce many foods & beverages. Latic acid bacteria are used in producing milk, yogurt, pickles, olives, etc. Bacteria are also involved in making fermentated meats, producing vinegar, chocolate, soy sauce, etc. - They are used in sewage treatment and to break down solid wastes in landfills. - They are used in bioremediation in order to break down toxins. - Archaeal enzymes are used in laundry and industrial detergeants. Archael enzymes are also used in the food industry to convert corn starch to dextrins. Hope this helps =)
