BOOK SUMMARY OF BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR FUELS AND CHEMICALS: THE TWENTY-NINTH
SYMPOSIUM
In Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals: The Twenty-Ninth Symposium, leading US
and international researchers from academia, industry, and government exchange
cutting-edge technical information and update current trends in the development
and application of biotechnology for sustainable production of fuels and
chemicals. This symposium emphasizes advances in biotechnology to produce
high-volume, low-price products from renewable resources, while improving the
environment. The major areas of interest include advanced feedstock production
and processing, enzymatic and microbial biocatalysis, bioprocess research and
development, opportunities in biorefineries, and commercialization of biobased
products. International and domestic progress on producing liquid biofuels,
especially ethanol and biodiesel,
