Microbial green chemistry

This page within the Green Chemistry Resource Exchange describes an award-winning technology to produce 1,3-propanediol using an engineered Escheri-chia coli strain. The process is now operating at a scale of 100 000 000 pounds, thus supplying this compound as a commodity chemical. Protection Agency's 2010 small business Green Chemistry award for developing innovative technology to make alkanes, alkenes, fatty acids and alcohols via microbial fermentative processes. Protection Agency's 2010 academic Green Chemistry award for developing innovative methods use photosyn-thetic bacteria to fix carbon dioxide and synthesize industrially relevant compounds. A green chemistry approach to industrially relevant compounds This poster gives an excellent overview of biocatalytic processes from a business and technical standpoint. This web booklet discusses naturally occurring compounds and microorganisms that are important as pesticides. Advancing Green Chemistry is an organization whose mission is to promote the development and use of green chemistry throughout society. There is significant educational material available from this site. This institute promotes all aspects of green chemistry, including the use of microbial biotechnology, for solving chemical problems in society. This page describes a new formulation for an existing microbial product that acts as a biopesticide. The green chemistry network promotes the practices of green chemistry throughput society. It is a non-profit organization initially launched with funds from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
