Biobased Fuels and Chemicals

Thursday, October 20, 2011: 3:15 PM
L100 I (Minneapolis Convention Center)

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.
