White biotechnology, also known as industrial biotechnology, harnesses the power of living cells and enzymes to create eco-friendly, sustainable products and processes. This cutting-edge field is transforming industries worldwide, offering innovative solutions for biomanufacturing, biofuels, bioplastics, and beyond. Key tools like metabolic engineering, fermentation, enzymatic biocatalysis, and directed evolution allow the biology of bacteria, yeast and algae to be optimized as microbial cell factories. Their metabolism can be tailored to convert sugars, waste lipids and even CO2 into target compounds like ethanol, organic acids, biopolymers and more. White biotechnology enables the sustainable production of both high-volume commodities as well as fine chemicals for pharmaceuticals. It allows renewable feedstocks like agricultural wastes and algae to be utilized as inputs. Biomanufacturing processes can achieve high specificity under mild conditions with far less waste than conventional chemistry.
