“…Therefore, microorganisms are exploited continuously for the production of antibiotics [ 105 ]. In addition to the use of antibiotics to treat infection, they are used in the production of biopharmaceuticals to prevent contamination and ensure the purity of products like insulin, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines [ 106 ]. Also, they are used in biotechnology to ensure the purity of DNA samples by preventing bacterial contamination that could interfere with PCR and other molecular techniques.…”

“…Furthermore, antibiotics are essential components in genetic engineering. When a gene of interest is inserted into a host organism, an antibiotic resistance gene is co-inserted and only those cells that successfully incorporate the gene will survive in the presence of the antibiotic that is added to the culture media, allowing for easy selection of modified cells [ 106 ].…”

“…An amalgamation of probiotic and prebiotic feed supplements is mainly helpful in enhancing the survival of beneficial organisms, as the presence of prebiotics protects wellorganized fermentation. Finally, this rewards the host with a suitable approach [278]. The nutritional additives of probiotics and prebiotics (MOS, FOS, and inulin) enhance fish immune systems via the GIT [24,279,280].…”

Aquaculture is a fast-emerging food-producing sector in which fishery production plays an imperative socio-economic role, providing ample resources and tremendous potential worldwide. However, aquatic animals are exposed to the deterioration of the ecological environment and infection outbreaks, which represent significant issues nowadays. One of the reasons for these threats is the excessive use of antibiotics and synthetic drugs that have harmful impacts on the aquatic atmosphere. It is not surprising that functional and nature-based feed ingredients such as probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics have been developed as natural alternatives to sustain a healthy microbial environment in aquaculture. These functional feed additives possess several beneficial characteristics, including gut microbiota modulation, immune response reinforcement, resistance to pathogenic organisms, improved growth performance, and enhanced feed utilization in aquatic animals. Nevertheless, their mechanisms in modulating the immune system and gut microbiota in aquatic animals are largely unclear. This review discusses basic and current research advancements to fill research gaps and promote effective and healthy aquaculture production.

Biotechnology is the most prominent and rapidly growing segment of the biological sciences that is making its diversified application in sustainable agriculture. Biofertilizers, biopesticides, bioherbicides, bioinsecticides, and many of the other fungal based and viral based insecticides, obtained using microorganisms, are some of the outcomes of biotechnology playing a key role in sustainable agriculture. Many of other important food products are also obtained by microbial fermentation. Different microbes are added to get the desired effect of food at the specific stages of food production process. Pharmaceutical microbiology includes the manufacturing of different pharmaceutical and medicinal products. This review article has a wide overview of microbes mainly used in agriculture, food industries, and pharmaceutical industries.
