Introduction to the Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals.

We are living in exciting times and times of change. Many countries are focusing significant efforts toward new, improved, or affordable products from renewable resources. We have designed the program for the 28th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals to deliver the latest research breakthroughs and results in biotechnology that stimulate such research activities. This year, we have an exciting program with six Oral Presentation Sessions, two Special Topics, and two Poster Presentation Sessions. Whether you represent the industrial, academic, or government sector, we invite you to join us and participate in this exciting exchange of information and ideas. You will find valuable opportunities for productive interactions with your colleagues, both from a national and international perspective.
