This book provides the vision of a successful biorefinery the
lignocelluloic biomass needs to be efficiently converted to its
constituent monomers, comprising mainly of sugars such as glucose,
xylose, mannose and arabinose. Accordingly, the first part of the
book deals with aspects crucial for the pretreatment and hydrolysis
of biomass to give sugars in high yield, as well as the general
aspects of bioprocessing technologies which will enable the
development of biorefineries through inputs of metabolic
engineering, fermentation, downstream processing and formulation.
The second part of the book gives the current status and future
directions of the biological processes for production of ethanol (a
biofuel as well as an important commodity raw material), solvents
(butanol, isobutanol, butanediols, propanediols), organic acids
(lactic acid, 3-hydroxy propionic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid
and adipic acid), and amino acid (glutamic acid). The commercial
production of some of these commodity bioproducts in the near
future will have a far reaching effect in realizing our goal of
sustainable conversion of these renewable resources and realizing
the concept of biorefinery. Suitable for researchers,
practitioners, graduate students and consultants in biochemical/
bioprocess engineering, industrial microbiology, bioprocess
technology, metabolic engineering, environmental science and
energy, the book offers: Exemplifies the application of metabolic
engineering approaches for development of microbial cell factories
Provides a unique perspective to the industry about the scientific
problems and their possible solutions in making a bioprocess work
for commercial production of commodity bioproducts Discusses the
processing of renewable resources, such as plant biomass, for mass
production of commodity chemicals and liquid fuels to meet our
ever- increasing demands Encourages sustainable green technologies
for the utilization of renewable resources Offers timely solutions
to help address the energy problem as non-renewable fossil oil will
soon be unavailable
