Abstract
Addressing urgent environmental challenges, this commentary emphasizes the need for green, bio-based solutions in chemical production from renewable feedstocks. It highlights advanced metabolic engineering of microbial strains and the use of microbial consortia as innovative approaches for efficient resource recovery. These strategies aim to enhance the conversion of diverse renewable feedstocks, including agricultural residues, industrial by-products, and greenhouse gases, into value-added chemicals. This article discusses cutting-edge techniques in renewable feedstock upcycling, utilizing both engineered unicellular and multicellular systems. It advocates a paradigm shift in sustainable biomanufacturing, focusing on transforming renewable resources into value-added products. This approach is crucial for developing a circular bioeconomy, aligning with global efforts to mitigate environmental impacts.
