Biobased organic acids production by metabolically engineered microorganisms

- The use of inexpensive carbon sources is urgently needed for citric acid production.
- Low-pH process benefits lactic acid production.
- Different strains and processes developed for succinic acid production.
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae was engineered for 3-hydroxypropionic acid production.
- Feedstock and process design are crucial for commercializing biobased production of organic acids.
