Quality living through chemurgy and green chemistry The bulk of the book covers specific applications including the bioproduction of amino sugars dicarboxylic acids omega 3 fatty acids starch and fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic materials and phenolics as buildings blocks for polymer synthesis. Enzymatic systems for accessing chiral and special purpose chemicals as well as the development of specialized enzymes from macroalgae for biofuel and biochemical production are also addressed. Research gaps hurdles to overcome in various biological processes and present achievements in the production of biofuels and biochemicals from lignocellulosic materials are discussed.
