Humana ABAB Symposium - Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals

The Twenty-Second Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals (ABAB Symposium) provides a deep look into the evolving landscape of biological production. Published by Humana Press Inc., this volume covers the essential methods used to convert plant components through the integration of microbiology, biochemistry, and chemistry. Readers will find detailed information on the application of enzyme, microbial, and plant biochemistries alongside genetic engineering. The text explores the practical side of processing research, including engineering, separations, and hybrid systems. Specific sessions address the manufacture and use of enzymes, as well as recent developments in the integrated production and scale-up of chemicals. Instead of relying on petrochemical routes, this work highlights how to utilize biological pathways for industrial chemical production. It is a valuable resource for those interested in new fermentation methods and the integration of separation techniques into modern industrial processes.
