Metabolic engineering deals with manipulation of metabolic pathways for overproduction of desired metabolites & macromolecules and reduction/deletion of unwanted metabolites & macromolecules. A large number of tools, techniques strategies & methodologies are used in the metabolic engineering of microbial, plant & mammalian/animal systems. Impressive advances have taken place in overproducing different categories of products Viz; biofuels, pharmaceuticals, neutraceuticals, cosmetics and many products relevant to different industries. In view of immense potential to bring about a next industrial biotechnology revolution, the need to establish specific goal oriented international research institutes on metabolic engineering has been emphasized apart from national institutes and study programs. Effort in this direction is environment friendly as well. At the outset readers are cautioned that manuscript is not a formal review or a discussion on the subject of “Metabolic Engineering” with respect to any specific topic or a living system but the purpose is to emphasize the need as mentioned above. Contents are adequate to think of this endeavor. Manuscript is a massive exercise after extensive scanning through the issues from the Journal “Metabolic Engineering”) Elsevier, since its inception –1999 January (Volume 1) till January 2021 (Volume 63) (22 years). In all they constitute 63 volumes, 122 issues and 15,700 plus pages. Total number of articles (papers) in the above is approximately 1600. Nearly 70% of these are with respect to “Microbial Systems”. Next in importance comes the papers which have major focus on general tools, techniques, methodologies, strategies etc. Manuscript mentions and gives a glimpse of different approaches used to achieve the desired goals referring to a list of predominant host microbes, plants and mammalian/animal systems investigated. Readers are advised to initially go through the special issues of the journal.
