Abstract
Different organic wastes may be used as raw material for value-added products. The chapter represents organic wastes as a raw material for biotechnological transformation and gives brief descriptions of biotechnologies for transformation of organic wastes into such value-added products as enzymes, organic acids, flavours, polysaccharides, mushrooms, biodegradable plastics, animal feed, biomass for bioremediation, dietary fibers, pharmaceuticals, gibberellic acid, chemicals (acetone and butanol, glycerol) and fuel (ethanol and hydrogen). It describes microorganisms, which can be used for biosynthesis of value-added products, and highlights most essential factors affecting the process of their biosynthesis. Examples of biotechnologies for biotransformation of organic wastes into value-added products are presented. Such environmental biotechnologies as bioconversion of organic waste into compost or fertilizer, recovery of metals from solid and liquid wastes, recovery of phosphate and ammonium from liquid wastes by application of iron-reducing and iron-oxidizing bacteria are described in the chapter.
