Define bioprocess and provide examples of primary and secondary metabolites produced through bioprocess.
Bioprocess is the application of natural or genetically manipulated whole cells/tissues/organs, or parts thereof, for producing industrially or medically important products. Examples of primary metabolites include organic acid fermentation (Citric acid, Acetic acid, Lactic acid) and amino acid production (L-Glutamic acid, L-Lysine, L-Tryptophan). Examples of secondary metabolites include antibiotic production (Streptomycin, Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Penicillin, Bacitracin) and industrial enzyme production (α-amylase; Cellulase; Protease; Lipase), as well as vitamins (Cyanocobalamine (B12), Riboflavin (B2)) and proteins (mAbs, tPA, hir)

What are the principles of fermentation technology?
The principles of fermentation technology involve the application of natural or genetically manipulated whole cells/tissues/organs, or parts thereof, for producing industrially or medically important products. This includes the production of primary metabolites such as organic acids and amino acids, as well as secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, industrial enzymes, vitamins, and proteins.
