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. Dr. MoXian is a Professorat Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy ofSciences, Qingdao, China.
