Valorization of Biomass to Bioproducts: Organic Acids and Biofuels focuses on recent technological developments and related challenges surrounding the bioprocessing of biomass for important organic acids and biofuels (waste to energy) for industrial applications. Chapters present information on biomass as a source for fermentation to produce important organic acids and next generation biofuels. Additionally, the book includes chapters on the role of synthetic/systems biology and metabolic engineering in producing these valuable biomolecules of industrial interest.
