Amino Acids – most amino acids used in foods and medicine are produced by bacteria

Microbial production of amino acids – used to produce L-iosmer, chemical production results in both D and L isomers

Lysine and glutamic acids produced by Corynebacterium gluctamincum

Citric Acid – used in foods is produced by Asperigillus niger

Enzymes – used in manufacturing foods, medicines, and other goods, are produced by microbes

Vitamins – some are made by microorganisms

Pharmaceuticals – Vaccines, antibiotics, steroids are products of microbial growth

Biofuels

Metabolic activities of Thiobacillus ferroxidans can be used to recover uranium and copper cores
