INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF WHOLE-CELL BASED BIOCATALYSIS... [Pg.108]

Whole-cell based biocatalysis utilizes an entire microorganism for the production of the desired product. One of the oldest examples for industrial applications of whole-cell biocatalysis is the production of acetic acid from ethanol with an immobilized Acetobacter strain, which was developed nearly 200 yr ago. The key advantage of whole-cell biocatalysis is the ability to use cheap and abundant raw materials and catalyze multistep reactions. Recent advances in metabolic engineering have brought a renaissance to whole-cell biocatalysis. In the following sections, two novel industrial processes that utilize whole-cell biocatalysis are discussed with emphasis on the important role played by metabolic engineering. [Pg.108]
