Oleaginous Microbes for Waste Biomass Valorization

This new book is one of the first books on waste biomass valorization utilizing oleaginousmicrobes, exploring the conversion of waste materials into valuable products, such as chemicals,materials, and fuels. It discusses the innovation, design, and impact of oleaginous microbialregimes toward the utilization of waste biomass for value-added microbial products. It placesspecial emphasis on oleaginous microbial biosynthetic pathways and their bioengineeringaspects for improving the generation of value-added biomolecules for sustainable biorefineries.Key features:• Discusses the significance of oleaginous microbes on value-added biomolecule production• Looks at oleaginous microbial solutions for agroindustrial wastes, industrial waste, agroforestresidues, and electronic waste• Explores the role of oleaginous microbes in bioenergy generation and other products
