Advances in Yeast Biotechnology for Biofuels and Sustainability: Value-Added Products and Environmental Remediation Applications

Advances in Yeast Biotechnology for Biofuels and Sustainability: Value-Added Products and Environmental Remediation Applications showcases the uses for engineered yeast in environmental applications, especially as an innovative source of biofuels. Beginning with a thorough review of recent advances and future potential for yeast biotechnology, the book proceeds to outline several options for biofuels, including lignocellulosic biofuels and alternative feedstock production through hydrolysis and alternative value-added products, including industrial acids and bioplastics and applications in agriculture and environmental remediation. Placing case studies at the center of each chapter, this book presents a future-focused perspective on the potential of yeast biotechnologies to support sustainability. Lays out methods, including multiple options for generating biofuels from engineered yeast and several additional value-added products Presents a wide variety of real-world sustainable applications for engineered yeast, with a focus on biofuels production Provides a selection of case studies in other value-added products and applications, including bioremediation, pollution remediation, and biofertilizers in sustainable agriculture INDICE: Part I: Yeast Biotechnology for the Sustainable Production of Value-Added Products 1.
