Microbial biomolecules have huge commercial and industrial potential. In nature, biological interactions are mostly associated with biochemical and biological diversity, especially with the discovery of associated biomolecules from microbes. Within cellular or subcellular systems, biomolecules signify the actual statuses of the microorganisms. Understanding the biological prospecting of the diverse microbial community and their complexities and communications with the environment forms a vital basis for active, innovative biotechnological breakthroughs. Biochemical diversity rather than the specific chemicals that has the utmost biological importance. The identification and quantification of the comprehensive biochemical diversity of the microbial molecules, which generally consequences in a diversity of biological functions, has significant biotechnological potential. Beneficial microbes and their biomolecules of interest can assist as potential constituents for the wide-range of natural product-based preparations and formulations currently being developed on an industrial scale. The understanding of the production methods and functions of these biomolecules will contribute to valorisation of agriculture, food bioprocessing and biopharma, and prevent human diseases related to the environment.
微生物生物分子具有巨大的商业和工业潜力。在自然界中，生物相互作用主要与生化和生物多样性有关，特别是与从微生物中发现相关生物分子有关。在细胞或亚细胞系统内，生物分子代表了微生物的实际状态。了解不同微生物群落的生物勘探及其与环境的复杂性和交流，是积极、创新的生物技术突破的重要基础。生物化学多样性而非特定化学物质具有最重要的生物学意义。微生物分子综合生物化学多样性的识别和量化，通常会产生多种生物功能，具有重要的生物技术潜力。有益微生物及其感兴趣的生物分子可以作为目前正在工业规模开发的基于天然产物的广泛制剂和配方的潜在成分。了解这些生物分子的生产方法和功能将有助于农业、食品生物加工和生物制药的增值，并预防与环境有关的人类疾病。
