Microbial Cell Refining for Biomass Conversion

Abstract

Cell refining can use renewable biomass resources as raw materials and decompose biomass through complex microbial metabolic networks and regulatory networks to synthesize a series of products to replace fossil energy and chemical products. The efficient and directed production of target compounds by microbial cells during a biorefinery requires the interference and changing of the original microbial control system. In essence, the core of cell refining is strains selection, which includes the creation of a new metabolic pathway, which enables the construction of the metabolic network model, and allows the design of new products by altering or reducing the metabolic pathways. Therefore, ...
