"This book focuses on resolving existing bottlenecks in enzymes mediated biomass to biofuels production processes by updating recent scientific knowledge and technology developments. It provides low-cost sustainable approaches to lower the cost of enzyme production following different approaches. It is specifically focused on industrial aspects of enzymes used in biofuels production processes by presenting an in-depth study of existing issues related to practical viability and long-term sustainability. It covers detailed discussions on the market scenario of industrial enzymes used in biofuels production processes and compares them on both lab and industrial scale. Users will find this to be a great resource that also helps them develop low-cost green technologies for enzyme development in biofuels production." --ICP
