Oleaginous Microbes for Waste Biomass Valorization

This new book is one of the first books on waste biomass valorization utilizing oleaginous microbes, exploring the conversion of waste materials into valuable products, such as chemicals, materials, and fuels.

The book discusses the innovation, design, and impact of oleaginous microbial regimes toward the utilization of waste biomass for value-added microbial products. It places special emphasis on oleaginous microbial biosynthetic pathways and their bioengineering aspects for improving the generation of value-added biomolecules for sustainable biorefineries. Oleaginous Microbes for Waste Biomass Valorization provides updated information on utilization of waste-associated biomasses (waste from industrial, domestic, and agro-forestry; biomedical wastes; electronic wastes) for the biogenesis of high value-added biomolecules, i.e., biofuels, biofertizers, biopigments, biopolymers, vitamins, nutra-pharmaceuticals, etc., using native and genetically engineered oleaginous microbial assemblages. It also offers a detailed outline of biochemical and biotechnological aspects of oleaginous microbes on waste biomass recycling.

Key features:

Discusses the significance of oleaginous microbes on value-added biomolecule production
Looks at oleaginous microbial solutions for agro-industrial wastes
industrial waste, agro-forest residues, and electronic waste
Explores the role of oleaginous microbes in bioenergy generation and other products.

Consolidating the most recent advances in and prospects for oleaginous microbes for waste biomass valorization, this book will be a valuable source of information for researchers involved in waste recycling and others in the fields of microbiology, biotechnology, and bioprocess engineering.
