Julio C. Santos – författare

Yeast Biotechnology and Biorefinery: Background, Potential and Future Perspective explores the essential role of yeasts in modern biorefineries, discussing yeast isolation, fermentation of biomass sugars for producing ethanol, xylitol, biopolymers, and more. It emphasizes recent advancements in molecular biology and bioprocessing to overcome challenges in biomass refining. Other sections cover process engineering techniques like immobilization methods and feeding patterns to boost productivity. Overall, the book underscores the importance of utilizing both traditional and new yeasts for a wide range of bioproducts in the biorefinery context. Readers will find this to be a very useful book that compiles research on yeast isolation, synthetic biology for biocatalyst development, and various product applications. It will be an indispensable resource for students, senior researchers, and industrial R&D professionals working on the sustainable conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biobased renewables and fuels.Covers specially designed scientific and technical literature on yeast biodiversity with clear images and tables in the context of biomass valorizationIncludes clear and simplistic illustrations of technological updates on biorefinery, elaborating on the conversion of cellulosic sugars into biochemicals, fuels, and nutraceuticalsPresents fast and reliable information on yeast prospection and characterization, synthetic biology, and fermentationEntails recent developments in synthetic biology to develop designer yeasts, including an industrial overview of companies dealing with recombinant yeasts
