Biotechnological products of microorganisms important for human nutrition and health

Biotehnologija je znanstvena disciplina koja se bavi primjenom organizama, njihovih dijelova ili metaboličkih produkata i/ili procesa za proizvodnju novih proizvoda. Za biotehnologiju ključnu ulogu igraju mikroorganizmi i njihova genetička raznolikost kao izvor mogućnosti za stvaranje novih biotehnoloških proizvoda. Od samih početaka mikrobni proizvodi imali su značaj u prehrani ljudi, a danas se sve više prepoznaje i njihova uloga na zdravlje ljudi. Mikroorganizmi proizvode korisne produkte kao što su dodaci hrani, stabilizatori hrane, novi lijekovi, farmaceutski proizvodi.Biotechnology is a scientific discipline that deals with the application of organisms, their parts or metabolic products and/or processes for the production of new products. Microorganisms and their genetic diversity play a key role in biotechnology as a source of opportunities for the creation of new biotechnological products. From the very beginning, microbial products have been important in human nutrition, and today their role in human health is increasingly recognized. Microorganisms produce useful products such as food additives, food stabilizers, new drugs, pharmaceutical products
