In recent years there has been a greater appreciation of the word use." As society and engineers have become more aware of the systems or process aspects of nature, it has become clear that the use of natural resources must stop short of abuse.

We gratefully acknowledge the past support of our research by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, The Florida Department of Natural Resources (Bureau of Aquatic Plant Research and Control), and the Aquatic Plant Control Research Program at the U.S. Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. 

More than 200 engineers and scientists participated in the development of EPIC and more than 50 publications describe testing and use of the model.70 EPIC is in use by the Natural Resource and Conservation Service the Agricultural Research Service of the USDA Iowa State Texas A M Washington State in Australia Syria Jordan Canada Germany Taiwan and other countries and universities around the world. 

Besides their essential roles in nature, isoprenoids are of commercial importance in industry. Some isoprenoids have been used as flavors, fragrances, spices, and food additives, while many are used as pharmaceuticals to treat an array of human diseases, such as cancer (Taxol), malaria (artemisinin), and HIV (coumarins). In contrast to the huge market demand, isoprenoids are present only in low abundance in their host organisms. Thus, isolation of the required isoprenoids consumes a large quantity of natural resources. Furthermore, owing to their structural complexity, total chemical synthesis is often not commercially feasible. For these reasons, metabolic engineering may provide an alternative to produce these valuable isoprenoids [88,89].
