| Résumé : |
In the paint industry, the general emphasis has been on the control of micro-organisms due to their deleterious effects on both raw materials as well as the finished product. However increasingly, research is being conducted to discover ways of exploiting micro-organisms in a positive way. Thus the ability of micro-organisms to tolerate and degrade unwanted, waste products that are often toxic to the environment, is made use ofin biofiltration plants for VOC reduction and emission control. Effluent treatment plants use the same principle to reduce levels of wastes to acceptable standards. Micro-organisms are also capable of synthesizing useful products which may find use as raw materials in the paint field. Thus the production of antifouling agents, industrial polysaccharides, pigments, etc. by micro-organisms offer eco-friendly and cheaper alternatives to chemically produced products without any compromise on the quality of the final product. Moreover the ability to manipulate micro-organisms through genetic engineering opens the road to a host of possibilities in the future, making microbial biotechnology an exciting and interesting field of research. |
