Biobased Fuels and Chemicals III

Wednesday, November 11, 2009: 3:15 PM
Bayou B (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:
Biofuels and biochemicals represent a secure, renewable, and environmentally safe alternative to petroleum-derived fuels and chemicals. This session will focus on the biological production of biofuels and biochemicals from renewable feedstocks. Topics on both enzymatic and whole-cell bioconversions are of primary interest.
