The increasing worldwide demand for energy, combined with
diminishing fossil fuel reserves and concerns about climate change,
have stimulated intense research into the development of renewable
energy sources, in particular, microbial biofuels. For a biofuel to
be commercially viable, the production processes, yield, and titer
have to be optimized, which can be achieved through the use of
microbial cell factories. Using multidisciplinary research
approaches, and through the application of diverse biotechnologies
(such as enzyme engineering, metabolic engineering, systems
biology, and synthetic biology), microbial cell factories have
begun to yield some very encouraging data and microbial biofuels
have a very promising future. In this book, a panel of
international experts review the most important hot-topics in this
area to provide a timely overview. The production of different
biofuel molecules is comprehensively covered, including hydrogen,
methane, ethanol, butanol, higher chain alcohols, isoprenoids, and
fatty acid derivatives from genetically engineered microbes. To
enhance biofuel production, special focus is given to the use of
metabolic engineering of microbes, including bacteria, yeast, and
microalgae. In addition, the book's contributors discuss the
current research progress, technical challenges, and future
development trends for biofuel production. Essential reading for
research scientists, graduate students, and other specialists
interested in microbial biofuels, the book is also recommended
reading for environmental microbiologists, chemists, and engineers.
