Biomolecular engineering technologies play a pivotal role in the production of a wide range of biofuels, pharmaceuticals, organic and amino acids, vitamins, biopolymers, surfactants, detergents, and enzymes. In Biomolecular Engineering Solutions for Renewable Specialty Chemicals, distinguished researchers and editors Drs. R. Navanietha Krishnaraj and Rajesh K. Sani present a comprehensive collection of insightful resources on advanced technologies in the synthesis and purification of value-added compounds. This book offers readers a deep dive into the latest innovations that facilitate the commercialization of the production of these high-value products.

The editors have also included valuable resources that provide strategies for overcoming current limitations in biochemical synthesis, including purification. The articles within cover a diverse range of topics, such as rewiring anaerobic microbial processes for methane and hythane production, extremophilic bioprocessing of wastes to biofuels, reverse methanogenesis of methane to biopolymers and value-added products, and more.

The book provides a comprehensive introduction to advanced concepts and biomolecular engineering technologies for the production of high-value, low-volume products, including therapeutic molecules. It also delves into methods for improving microbes and enzymes through protein engineering, metabolic engineering, and systems biology approaches for converting wastes. Readers will gain valuable insights into engineered microorganisms for the production of biocommodities, microbial production of vanillin from ferulic acid, antibiotic trends in microbial therapy, fermentation strategies in the food and beverage industry, and practical discussions of bioactive oligosaccharides, including their production, characterization, and applications.

This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and professionals in the field of biomolecular engineering, providing them with the latest knowledge and techniques to advance their research and development efforts in the production of renewable specialty chemicals.
