Overview

Industrial biotechnology is the application of living organisms—such as bacteria, yeast, fungi, and algae—and their enzymes to manufacture useful products and to carry out industrial processes. Often called white biotechnology, it harnesses biological systems to produce fuels, chemicals, enzymes, polymers, and other materials, frequently offering more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional chemical manufacturing. By using renewable feedstocks and operating under milder conditions, industrial biotechnology can reduce energy consumption, waste, and reliance on petroleum-based inputs. Core approaches include fermentation, biocatalysis, and the engineering of microbial strains and metabolic pathways to improve yields and create novel products. Its applications span the production of biofuels, biodegradable plastics, industrial enzymes for detergents and food processing, and specialty chemicals. Research published in this journal relevant to industrial biotechnology includes a review of the industrial and biotechnological applications of algae and a study of yeast-mediated bioprocesses and bio-products for biotechnological application, illustrating how microorganisms can be deployed to generate valuable outputs. As an open-access journal devoted to Biotechnology and Biomedical Science, this publication addresses the use of biological systems across research and applied settings. This page collects peer-reviewed scholarship relevant to industrial biotechnology and its contributions to sustainable production.
