In vitro engineering of gut microbiomes from wood-eating beetles for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass to value-added biochemicals KU Leuven
Residual lignocellulosic biomass from agriculture and forestry as a resource for the production of biomaterials, biochemicals and bioenergy, will be an important driver for the biobased circular economy. To produce materials and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass, sustainable, energy-friendly and resource efficient conversion routes are needed. Wood-eating beetles are natural biorefineries for lignocellulosic biomass driven by host-gut ...
