The Role Of Metabolic Engineering In The Development Of Green Chemistry

Green chemistry as a new concept in chemical industries and the science of chemistry arose in the early 1990s and gained wide interest and support at the turn of the millennium. The twelve principles of green chemistry are generally based on generation of minimum waste, the minimum usage and generation of hazardous materials, utilization of high yield methods and production of biodegradable and non-toxic products. Achieving the goals of green and sustainable chemistry as a multidisciplinary field requires close collaboration of researchers and scientists of different expertise. This paper describes the role of metabolic engineering as a new emerging field of biotechnology in realizing the goals of green and sustainable chemistry.
