The book describes in detail the authors' current understanding of the models that incorporate the concepts andtechniques of synthetic chemistry, chemical engineering, synthetic biology andbioengineering. These include chemical engineering methods for green chemicalproduction from sustainable bio-resources; using synthetic chemistry andkinetics of chemical reaction concepts in the construction of non-natural enzymesand bio-pathways, partial integration of bioconversion steps in chemicalsynthesis routes; integration of chemo-, bio- conversion steps in one system;microbial production of chemicals from economic chemo-resourced chemicals; andchemical production of value-added derivatives from bio-based amino acids. It providesa valuable reference source for laboratory and industrialprofessionals in a number of chemical and biological disciplines such assynthetic chemistry, synthetic biology, chemical engineering, biotechnology,microbiology, molecular biology, etc.

List of contents
Bulk chemical production: chemo-, bio- and integrated strategies.- Chemical conversion of biomass to green chemicals.- Design and construction of non-natural enzymes and bio-pathways to get more chemicals sustainably produced.- Incorporate bioconversion step in the chemical synthetic routes.- One-pot chemo-, bio- conversions for desired chemicals.- Microbial production of chemicals from economic bulk chemicals.- Chemical production of value added derivatives from bio-based amino acids.
Summary
The book describes in detail the authors’ current understanding of the models that incorporate the concepts and
techniques of synthetic chemistry, chemical engineering, synthetic biology and
bioengineering. These include chemical engineering methods for green chemical
production from sustainable bio-resources; using synthetic chemistry and
kinetics of chemical reaction concepts in the construction of non-natural enzymes
and bio-pathways, partial integration of bioconversion steps in chemical
synthesis routes; integration of chemo-, bio- conversion steps in one system;
microbial production of chemicals from economic chemo-resourced chemicals; and
chemical production of value-added derivatives from bio-based amino acids. It provides
a valuable reference source for laboratory and industrial
professionals in a number of chemical and biological disciplines such as
synthetic chemistry, synthetic biology, chemical engineering, biotechnology,
microbiology, molecular biology, etc.
