3.Microorganisms
Although GM microorganisms and ingredients produced from them (e,g,GM chymosin in cheese making) have been available for many years, use of GM bacteria and yeasts in foods and in food production has been limited. Many applications are possible, including improvement of traditional food fermentations, production of a variety of metabolic end products, and development of bacteria with enhanced probiotic and other health benefit properties.
