Microbes are used for commercial and industrial production of certain chemicals like organic acids, alcohols and enzymes. Examples of acid producers are Aspergillus niger (a fungus) of citric acid, Acetobacter aceti (a bacterium) of acetic acid; Clostridium butylicum (a bacterium) of butyric acid and Lactobacillus (a bacterium) of lactic acid. Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is used for commercial production of ethanol. Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus have been commercialised as blood-cholesterol lowering agents.

Cyclosporin A is a bioactive molecule that is widely used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplant patients.
