Abstract
Specialty Chemicals in Microbial Chemistry: Tailored Molecules for Targeted Microbial Function and Innovation
Author(s): Sofia L. PetrovicAbstract Specialty chemicals are designed for specific functions and applications, distinguishing them from bulk or commodity chemicals. In microbial chemistry, specialty chemicals play a critical role by enabling targeted investigation and manipulation of microbial systems. These compounds are often used to modulate metabolic pathways, probe enzymatic specificity, or induce the production of unique microbial metabolites. This article examines the importance of specialty chemicals in microbial chemistry, highlighting their contribution to experimental precision, pathway discovery, and the development of advanced biotechnological processes.
