yeast metabolic engineering

Yeast metabolic engineering involves modifying yeast cells to enhance their natural processes or introduce new ones, allowing them to produce useful products such as medicines, biofuels, or food ingredients. Scientists manipulate yeast genes to optimize the pathways that turn raw materials into desired compounds, making production more efficient and sustainable. This process combines biology and engineering to tailor yeast characteristics, enabling large-scale manufacturing of substances essential for health, industry, and environmental sustainability.
