How Do Genetically Engineered Microorganisms Work in Catalysis?
Genetically engineered microorganisms are designed to possess specific enzymes or metabolic pathways that can catalyze chemical reactions more effectively than their natural counterparts. These modifications can be achieved through recombinant DNA technology, which allows for the insertion, deletion, or alteration of genes within an organism's genome. The engineered genes can encode enzymes that are more efficient, more stable, or capable of catalyzing novel reactions.
