The ultimate goal of metabolic engineering is to be able to use these organisms to produce valuable substances on an industrial scale in a cost effective manner. Current examples include producing beer, wine, cheese, pharmaceuticals, and other biotechnology products. 3, record 1, English, - metabolic%20engineering

Metabolic engineering is considered an enabling science, i.e. it is not genetic engineering in itself but exploits advanced analytical tools and mathematical models to identify targets for genetic engineering. Much of metabolic engineering focuses on computer models to optimise cell factories. 2, record 1, English, - metabolic%20engineering
