These engineered biocatalysts will in turn provide new means to efficiently utilize natural biopol3nners to synthesize chemical intermediates, fuels, food products, pharmaceuticals and plastics. New synthetic biocatalysts will allow the creation of a host of new biopol3nners possessing new functions and properties for industrial, pharmaceutical and agricultural uses. 

Since the complete story of carbon would be a history of organic chemistry, asphalt, carbonate rocks, alkaline carbonates, fuels, foods, plant and animal nutrition, photosynthesis, and respiration, the following brief sketch can merely suggest the magnitude of the subject. 

The chemical mechanisms that underlie biological energy transductions have fascinated and challenged biologists for centuries. Antoine Lavoisier, before he lost his head in the French Revolution, recognized that animals somehow transform chemical fuels (foods) into... 

Cellulose is the most abundant renewable resource available for con- version to fuel, food, and chemical feedstocks. It has been estimated by Ghose (11) that the annual worldwide production of cellulose through photosynthesis may approach 100 X 109 metric tons. As much as 25% of this could be made readily available for the conversion processes. A significant fraction of the available cellulose, i.e., 4-5 X 109 t/year, occurs as waste, principally as agricultural and municipal wastes. Cellulose must be viewed, therefore, as an important future source of fuel, food and chemicals (see Table I). 

There are over 25,000 economically feasible yet environmentally friendly uses for hemp, including diesel fuel, food and beauty products, insulation, textiles, paper, and paints.

Carbon compounds hold the key to life on Earth. Consider what the world would be like if all carbon compounds were removed the result would be much like the barren surface of the Moon. If carbon compounds were removed from the human body, there would be nothing left except water and a small residue of minerals. The same would be true for all living things. Carbon compounds are also an integral part of our lifestyle. Fossil fuels, foods, and most drugs are made of carbon compounds. Since we live in an age of plastics and synthetic fibers, our clothes, appliances, and most other consumer goods contain a significant portion of carbon compounds. 

The histories are vanillin and menthol are, in one respect, the same old stories that keep appearing in the histoiy of humankind. There is always something that is in short supply raw material, fuel, food, luxuries etc. Human ingenuity then strives to produce them by transforming other, more readily available resources.

Source of dioxins in nearly 50 affected farms were old bakery products, which were dried by waste gases from contaminated fuel. Food and feed raw materials imported from developing countries may also be hazardous materials. In 2007, the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) pointed out a high concentration of PCDD/PCDF (exceeding normal quantities by up to 1000 times) in guar gum found by control laboratories in Switzerland. The source of contamination was impurities in low-quality biocidal product... 

Seawater covering 70% of the earth s surface has been offering unlimited material benefits to b) Chloride Ions mankind ever since the dawn of history. The ocean floor is a full hydrospace for minerals, fuel, food and energy. Seawater is, however, knovm to be quite corrosive and increased exploitation and exploring activities require materials resistant to seawater corrosion. Due to its corrosivity, corrosion resistance in seawater is taken as an index of corrosion tendency of materials. A material...
