"Bio-based Production of Chemicals and Materials"

Due to our increasing concerns on climate change and other environmental problems, there has been much interest in bio-based production of chemicals, fuels and materials from renewable non-food biomass. Systems metabolic engineering has been increasingly important in developing efficient production strains, and I will be briefly reviewing the current status.

In this lecture, I will showcase the development of microbial strains capable of producing dicarboxylic acids, diamines, aromatics, polymers and others. The main focus would be on how to develop industrially relevant microbial cell factories for the efficient production of these chemicals and materials.
