National Laboratory The Eighteenth Symposium on Biotechnology for
Fuels and Chemi cals continues to provide a forum for the
presentation of research results and the exchange of ideas on
advances in biotechnology for the produc tion of fuels and
chemicals. Although the emphasis is on utilization of renewable
resources, the scope of the Symposium is broader than this and
includes bioconversion of fossil fuels and syngas and the new area
of conversions in nonaqueous environments; these areas were
discussed in Session 5 and in a Special Topic Discussion Group at
the Symposium. In addition, recent developments in bioremediation
were well represented in Session 6 and in the poster session. The
Symposium involved both the development of new biological agents
(such as enzymes or microbes) to carry out targeted conversions as
well as bioprocess development. The first area covered improvements
in enzymes as well as fundamental insights into substrate-enzyme
inter actions and photosynthesis. The latter area focused on
converting one material into another using biological agents
through combinations of chemical engineering, biological sciences,
and fermentation technology. This area also refers to an overall
processing involving at least one bio logically catalyzed step in
combination with other physical and/ or chemi cal processing
operations. Agricultural crops, such as corn and corn fiber as well
as woody biomass and lignocellulosic wastes, are emphasized for
process feedstocks and their pretreatment investigated.
