Engineering microbial pathways for production of bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic sugars: current status and perspectives

Abstract Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass on earth with an annual production of about 2 × 1011 tons. It is an inedible renewable carbonaceous resource that is very rich in pentose and hexose sugars. The ability of microorganisms to use lignocellulosic sugars can be exploited for the produ...
