Bio-based production of chemicals through metabolic engineering

Abstract Energy resources are not only one of the most central topics of our century, but also one of the most threatened. Indeed, even though fossil fuels have met the needs for many years, global reserves diminish faster than they regenerate. To address this major issue, alternatives have been found with biofuel production using microorganisms. High efficiency processes have been developed, particularly for bioethanol with productivity up to 125 g/L. However, this chapter focuses on drop-in fuel that can be used directly in current engines and obtained through metabolic engineered microorganisms. Many efforts have been made in this field and research teams were capable of producing biohydrocarbons with concentrations up to ca. 500 mg/L. Yet, these accumulation rates are still insufficient for a profitable process at the industrial scale. This chapter also discusses the bottlenecks and solutions that could allow solving current limitations.
