Domaine(s)
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
CONT

Par sélection naturelle, les bactéries ou les levures de type «sauvage» se sont étroitement adaptées à leur environnement et à la compétition avec les autres espèces; elles ne sont donc a priori pas du tout adaptées à la fabrication de substances utiles à l'homme.
