Summary
This chapter will give you a fundamental understanding of microbial metabolism and the chemical and biochemical reactions associated with industrial biomass refining. After going through this chapter and solving the assignments, the reader will be able to describe biomass processing and perform the stoichiometric and kinetic calculations needed to solve given biomass processing challenges.
