  2. WHAT IS METABOLIC ENGINEERING? Metabolic engineering is the improvement of cellular activities by manipulation of enzymatic, transport, and regulatory functions of the cell with the use of recombinant DNA technology. Dr. James E. Bailey 1944-2001 Bailey, J., Toward a science of metabolic engineering, Science, 252, 1668, 1991
