Nowadays, there is a great need for carboxylic acids produced by microbial fermentation in various industries. The main future challenge for this will depend upon increasing carboxylic acids tolerance of microorganisms and decreasing the cost of culture media materials. Lignocellulosic materials have the potential to serve as a cost-effective source of raw material to produce liquid fuels and various organic chemicals. In this presentation, the different applications of carboxylic acids and their current and future production status are highlighted, with an emphasis on the biofuels and bio-chemicals industry. As such, this presentation discusses different issues regarding carboxylic acids fermentations and provides suggestions for future improvements and their approaches. |
