Foreword
At a time in which finding
renewable alternatives to fossil-derived goods is becoming an urgent priority, metabolic
engineering is arising as a promising tool. The technology allows valuable
chemical compounds to be produced by engineered strains of microorganisms,
therefore reducing the need for fossil-resources to produce products or fuels.
An added benefit of this technology is the ability to valorise biogenic wastes
or agricultural or forestry residues i.e. lignocellulosic biomass.
The yeast Saccharomyces
cerevisiae is widely used in fermentation processes. Having been
a extensively studied, its genome and characteristics are well known, making it
an ideal candidate for genetic engineering. It is also easy to grow and does
not require extreme environmental conditions to thrive...
