Abstract
Microbial Chemistry as a Cornerstone for the Development of Sustainable Chemical Processes
Author(s): Amina R. BoubacarSustainable chemical processes aim to balance chemical productivity with environmental responsibility and resource efficiency. Microbial chemistry provides powerful tools for achieving these goals by enabling chemical transformations through renewable biological systems. Microorganisms catalyze complex reactions using non-toxic reagents, moderate conditions, and renewable feedstocks, reducing waste generation and energy consumption. This article examines the role of microbial chemistry in the design and implementation of sustainable chemical processes, emphasizing microbial catalysis, process integration, and applications in pharmaceutical and industrial chemistry.
