2,3-butanediol production from cellobiose by engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Production of renewable chemicals from cellulosic biomass is a critical step towards energy sustainability and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Microbial cells have been engineered for producing fuels and chemicals from cellulosic sugars. Among these chemicals, 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) is a …

Creation of a Binary CuSO4 Inducible gene expression system in Arabidopsis thaliana and its application to the degradation of Lignin in planta
… representing the largest naturally occuring renewable source of aromatics. However, the remarkable recalcitrance of lignin to economically feasible (bio)degradation, with the exception of a handful of microbial species, has meant that the latent potential of this biopolymer for applied uses …

Catalytic conversion of biomass-derived molecules into mono- and dicarboxylic acids and esters
Biomass can serve as a renewable alternative to the inevitably depleting fossil fuel resources and provide feedstocks for the production of fuels and chemicals. Mono- and dicarboxylic acids and esters are key intermediates to chemical products, especially for biodegradable polymers. This thesis has …

Utilization of Biomass Derived Furans in Value-Added Organics and Heterogeneous Oxorhenium Catalysts for Deoxydehydration of Diols
… fuels are depleted, there is a growing focus on renewable chemicals based on biomass materials, including both fuels and chemical feedstocks. Current methods for biomass utilization include biological conversion to produce ethanol and various thermochemical routes (gasification, pyrolysis, …
