Abstract

Vitamins are vital nutrients that can be produced by the body and are only required in tiny quantities in the diet. Vitamins are chemical molecules that must be consumed in tiny amounts since the body cannot produce them. They are vital for appropriate development and sustenance. This article is about vitamins as its intake is vital for every human being since we can’t produce it in the body and hence there is need of vitamin intake in human body. There are many microbes that have the capacity of producing vitamins on its own all they need is the substrate and they release vitamins. This article focuses on the microbes that are useful in the production of vitamins and also on the various advances made in this field by the genetic engineering by looking into their metabolic pathway and understanding the science of how these microbes are capable of producing vitamins. As a consequence, future technological breakthroughs may lead to more sustainable, environmentally friendly, as well as cost-efficient vitamin manufacturing procedures using microbes as effective cell factories.

Keywords
