细胞工厂与生物炼制

Microbial Cell Factories and Biorefinery

生物炼制是以可再生生物质资源为原料,生产能源与化工产品的新兴工业模式。是转变经济增长模式,保障社会经济可持续发展的重大战略需求。微生物细胞工厂是生物炼制技术至关重要的核心。世界各国纷纷设立重大研究计划支持细胞工厂的研究,以期获得生物炼制技术的领先地位。本文简要概括了细胞工厂和生物炼制这一新兴工业模式,回顾了生物炼制细胞工厂的重大计划和进展,讨论了目前亟待解决的关键问题和研究对策。

Biorefinery is a new industrial mode substituting renewable biomass for unrenewable fossil resource to produce bioenergy or chemicals and securing the sustainable development of social economics. Microbial cell factories, the core of biorefinery technology, were supported by many governments to keep ahead in the field of biorefinery. In this article, cell factories and biorefinery, the new industrial modes are briefly introduced. The important developments of biorefinery cell factories in technologies and applications are reviewed, based on which several key issues are addressed and future perspectives are discussed.
