Commentary on Succinic Acid and Poly-ó-glutamic Acid Production usingLignocellulosic Waste Biomass

In this short commentary, the possibility of exploiting lignocellulosic waste biomass for succinic acid and poly-γ-glutamic acid production via fermentation were explored with several typical examples. We mention, in addition, the traits of expanding production scale with fibrous-bed bioreactors. We hope to discuss the potential and prospect of utilizing lignocellulosic waste biomass for the production of valuable chemicals.
