This chapter turns from the microbes that make us ill to the ones that work for us. It follows them from the kitchen (curd, dough, cheese) into industry (beverages, antibiotics, acids, enzymes and drugs), through sewage treatment and biogas plants, and out into the field as biocontrol agents and biofertilisers.
