Figure 1From: The path to next generation biofuels: successes and challenges in the era of synthetic biologyGeneral bioprocess scheme for the production of fuels from renewable feedstocks. Different feedstocks are listed according to their environmental and economical sustainability. Feedstock deconstruction releases elementary building blocks such as pentoses, hexoses, polyols, fatty acids, etc. that are then microbially converted to biofuels.Back to article page
