Biotechnology for Biofuel Production and Optimization

Langue : Anglais
Couverture de l’ouvrage Biotechnology for Biofuel Production and Optimization

Biotechnology for Biofuel Production and Optimizationis thecompilation of current research findings that cover the entire process of biofuels production from manipulation of genes and pathways to organisms and renewable feedstocks for efficient biofuel production as well as different cultivation techniques and process scale-up considerations. This book captures recent breakthroughs in the interdisciplinary areas of systems and synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and bioprocess engineering for renewable, cleaner sources of energy.

Metabolic Engineering for Fatty Acid and Biodiesel Production 4. Pathway and Strain Design for Biofuels Production 5. RNA-Based Molecular Sensors for Biosynthetic Pathway Design, Evolution, and Optimization 6. Pathway Assembly and Optimization 7. Design of Dynamic Pathways 8. Applications of Constraint-Based Models for Biochemical Production 9. Biotechnological Strategies for Advanced Biofuel Production: Enhancing Tolerance Phenotypes Through Genome-Scale Modifications 10. Evolutionary Methods for Improving the Production of Biorenewable Fuels and Chemicals 11. Biomass Utilization 12. Ralstonia eutropha H16 as a Platform for the Production of Biofuels, Biodegradable Plastics, and Fine Chemicals from Diverse Carbon Resources 13. Methane Biocatalysis: Selecting the Right Microbe 14. Photosynthetic Platform Strain Selection: Strain Selection Considerations and Large-Scale Production Limitations 15. Interpreting and Designing Microbial Communities for Bioprocess Applications, from Components to Interactions to Emergent Properties 16. Cell-Free Biotechnologies 17. Microbial Electrochemical Cells and Biorefinery Energy Efficiency 18. Photobiohybrid Solar Conversion with Metalloenzymes and Photosynthetic Reaction Centers 19. Scale-Up—Bioreactor Design and Culture Optimization 20. Scale-Up Considerations for Biofuels

Primary Market (who is the user? Who will buy the book? eg chemical engineers:user, library:buyer)

This book will appeal not only to scientists (i.e., biochemists, molecular biologists, chemists, and microbiologists) working to understand the fundamental problems associated with biomass conversion research, but also chemical and mechanical engineers working to design new conversion processes for advanced biofuels.

Secondary Market (who is the user? Who will buy the book?)

A secondary market will be DOE and another government staff looking for expert advice in the field of Biofuels production. For example: See "BP Biofuels chief calls biofuels "the new oil" as Advanced Biofuels Leadership Conference opens," Jim Lane, Biofuels Digest, April 22, 2010. "Oil Companies See Profits in Advanced Biofuels," Emily Gertz, BioFuels Energy, May 28, 2009. "Department of Energy Highlights New Advanced Biofuels Research and Development Facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory," U.S. DOE EERE, Biomass Program: News, Aug 19, 2011.

Carrie A. Eckert, PhD., is a Senior Research Scientist with a joint appointment at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the University of Colorado, Boulder, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), University of Colorado, Boulder, CO. Eckert received a B.S. in Biology from the University of South Dakota (1999) and a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology at the University of Colorado, Anschutz Campus under the supervision of Dr. Paul Megee where she studied chromosome segregation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (2006). After a short Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. James Maller studying cell cycle regulation in Xenopus laevis egg extracts (Pharmacology, University of Colorado, Anschutz campus), she began postdoctoral studies at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2008 and became a staff scientist in 2011. Her work at NREL has involved the study of hydrogenases and metabolic engineering in diverse microbes including Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, Ralstonia eutropha H16, and Rubrivivax gelatinosus CBS. More recent work includes the metabolic engineering of bioethylene production in E. coli as a part of a collaborative project with the Gill lab, as well as a collaborative project with Kiverdi working on metabolic engineering of microbes for terpenoid production using Syngas as a feedstock.
Cong T. Trinh, PhD., is a Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK). Trinh received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering (with summa cum laude, honors thesis) at the University of Houston and earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. To continue his interests in biofuels research, he has worked at the Energy Biosciences Institute, University of California, Berkeley as a postdoctoral scholar. At UTK, his research interests focus on understanding and engineering cellular metabolism with the ultimate goal to design, construct, and chara
