Featuring contributions from internationally recognized experts, Biocatalysisand Bioenergy presents state-of-the-art advances and in-depth reviews of biocatalysis and bioenergy, with an emphasis on biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, and industrial products. The first comprehensive book on biocatalysis for bioenergy and biofuel applications, it explores every stage of biocatalysis, including enzyme catalysis, biotransformation, bioconversion, fermentation, and biotechnology. With today's quest for new means of producing energy, this is a timely reference for graduate level students, postdocs, and researchers working in the chemical, biosciences, biotechnology, renewable energy, and chemical engineering sectors.
