Abstract

The successful transition of a petroleum-based economy to a more sustainable economy is highly dependent on the development of technologies that will meet the demands for the production of fuel and industrially important chemicals. Establishment of microorganism-based biorefineries is a promising route in realizing this goal through the application of metabolically engineered microorganisms capable of converting renewable biomasses to value-added chemicals. This review encompasses the constructed synthetic pathways and microbial strain improvement strategies developed to date for the direct production of building-block chemicals from renewable biomass.
