Industrial Microbiology Market Drivers

Surging Applications of Industrial Microbiology are Projected to Drive the Growth of the Industrial Microbiology Market:

Industrial microbiology is a branch of biotechnology that puts into use microbial sciences to develop industrial products in mass quantities, frequently utilizing microbial cell factories. The medical application to industrial microbiology is the generation of novel medications synthesized in a particular organism for medical purposes. The generation of antibiotics is essential for the treatment of numerous bacterial infections. Certain natural happening antibiotics and precursors are generated by way of a process termed fermentation. The microorganisms develop in a liquid media where the population size is regulated in order to yield the greatest quantity of product. In this environment, nutrients, pH, temperature, and oxygen are regulated also in order to maximize the number of cells and cause them not to die before the generation of the antibiotic of interest. Once the antibiotic is generated, it must be extracted in order to yield an income. Vitamins also get generated in massive amounts either by fermentation or biotransformation.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), for example, is generated both ways. Biotransformation is principally utilized for the generation of riboflavin, and the carbon source starting material for this reaction is glucose. There are a few strains of microorganisms that were engineered to boost the yield of riboflavin generated. The most typical organism utilized for this reaction is “Ashbya gossypii” fungus. In the food industry, fermentation is a reaction where sugar can be transformed into a gas, alcohol, or acids. Fermentation occurs anaerobically, which means microorganisms that go through fermentation can perform without the presence of oxygen. Yeasts and bacterium are typically utilized to mass-produce the products. The generation of yogurt begins from the pasteurization of milk, where undesired microbes are decreased or removed. Enzymes can be generated by way of fermentation either by submerged fermentation and/ or by solid-state fermentation. In agriculture, microbial pesticides, normally a virus, bacterium, or fungus are utilized to regulate pest populations in a more particular manner. The most typically utilized microbe for the generation of microbial bio-pesticides is Bacillus thuringiensis, also termed Bt. Microbial products of potential significance include flavoring agents like monosodium glutamate and nucleotides. Monosodium glutamate is the dominant amino acid in dietary proteins, constituting around 10% of the total amino acid content. The surging applications of industrial microbiology are therefore fuelling the growth of the Industrial Microbiology Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Progressive Automation and Digitization In Industrial Microbiology is Expected to Boost the Growth of the Industrial Microbiology Market:

Monosodium glutamate is extensively utilized as a flavor enhancer in the food industry. The application of MSG in sodium reduction may be efficient since MSG includes around 12% sodium (42 milligrams of sodium per teaspoon), in comparison with one teaspoon of table salt (sodium chloride), which includes around 40% sodium (or 2300 milligrams of sodium per teaspoon). Instruments of automation in the food industry include computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) which is the manufacturing technique of utilizing computers to regulate the complete production process. This integration permits individual processes to trade information with each other and initiate activities. Regarding the biopharmaceutical industry, to avert contamination in biopharmaceutical products, operating procedures have to be carefully supervised all through the development and manufacturing process. Including automation and robotics in industrial microbiology, workflows can assist in recognizing and averting contamination. As per Valerie Wittenberg, Head of Robotics and Automation for Industrial Microbiology at Merck, the part of industrial microbiology is crucial in the biopharmaceutical sector. Its purpose is to supervise contamination events and oversee the development of standard operating procedures to diminish the hazard of contamination. If one looks at injectable medications, for example, contamination requires to be zero – there cannot be any bacteria in the final product – owing to it being injected directly into the patients. Furthermore, Valerie Wittenberg indicates that as more automation is included in industrial microbiology workflows, enhancements in processes, greater process control, and a reduction in costs from false-positive or false-negative results are anticipated to be observed. An essential area where work is being actively carried on at Merck is the automation of actions that are performed repeatedly by humans. Attempts are being made to substitute those steps with, for example, a robotic arm programmed to pick up funnels or pipettes. This has the potential to ensure some level of repeatability, which, in turn, decreases errors and costs associated with those errors. The progressive automation and digitization in industrial microbiology are therefore driving the growth of the Industrial Microbiology Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Industrial Microbiology Market Challenges

Challenges of Industrial Microbiology are Hampering the Growth of Industrial Microbiology Market:

As per the U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics, “employment of microbiologists is projected to grow 5 percent from 2020 to 2030, slower than the average for all occupations”. In industrial microbiology, acceptance of progressive technologies is resulting in lack of skilled manpower trained to utilize the novel methods. Another factor restricting the development is the dearth of computation skills. These resources are needed in industrial microbiology as novel methods are mostly used across the industry. Innovations in industrial microbiology will allow more efficient storage and analysis capabilities that comes with computation. In conjunction with the lack of skilled labor, the soaring cost of sterility and bioburden testing, specifically in the developing countries like Brazil, India and China act as constraints. The maintenance compliance levels is another demanding challenge. Industrial microbiology has further restrictions owing to the requirement of having the working microorganism completely operative and safeguarded against mutation, other microbial contaminants, competitors and environmental alterations. These issues are thus hampering the growth of the Industrial Microbiology Market.

The panels are for research use only (RUO). The Bio-Plex™ Pro Human IgA SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2/N/RBD 4-Plex Panel and the Bio-Plex™ Pro Human IgM SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2/N/RBD 4-Plex Panel join Bio-Rad’s existing Bio-Plex™ Pro Human IgG SARS-CoV-2 N/RBD/S1/S2 4-Plex Panel to complete the set of three separate qualitative multiplex immunoassays that offer accurate and effective detection of IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies against four SARS-CoV-2 antigens. 
  • In June 2021, bioMérieux introduced EPISEQ® SARS-COV-2, a genomic software solution, to back microbiology labs in identification and reporting from raw sequencing data related to SARS-CoV-2 variants. Introduced globally, EPISEQ® SARS-COV-2 is a novel application, planned to recognize SARS-CoV-2 variants utilizing samples from positive patients. The platform recognizes variants based on international nomenclature of any novel variant of concern (VOC) as defined by the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  • In May 2021, BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) declared the accessibility of BD Surgiphor™ Sterile Wound Irrigation System. It is the earliest and only ready-to-use aqueous povidone-iodine (PVP-I) irrigation solution that mechanically loosens and eliminates wound debris. BD Surgiphor™ is a pre-mixed, pre-labeled, single patient surgical wound irrigation solution. BD Surgiphor™ utilizes PVP-I, a well-recognized antiseptic agent, which is a preservative within the solution, offering a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect against gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and yeast. This decreases the hazard of unwanted microbial growth in the solution once the bottle is opened.
