There is broad interest in metal‐free catalysis for sustainable chemistry. Carbocatalysis is a
“green” option for catalytic transformations in the gas phase as well as in the liquid phase …

The demand for 2-ethylhexanol is rising in several sectors, yet this chemical is actually
almost exclusively produced from petroleum resources, calling for sustainable alternatives …

Electrocatalysis is evolving as a competitive alternative to conventional heterogeneous
catalysis for the conversion of platform chemicals from biomass. Here, we demonstrate the …

In this study, we extensively describe experimental models, with correlating experimental
conditions, which were used to investigate the enzymatic hydrolysis of bacterial cellulose …

Small molecule organocatalysts are abundant in all living organisms. However, their use as
organocatalysts in cells has been underexplored. Herein, we report that organocatalytic …

Synthetic biology has enabled the production of many value‐added chemicals via microbial
fermentation. However, the problem of low product titers from recombinant pathways has …

Interfacing non-enzymatic catalysis with cellular metabolism is emerging as a powerful
approach to produce a range of high value small molecules and polymers. In this review, we …

Biosynthetic methods have the potential to deliver value-added chemicals from renewable
feedstocks. However, despite major advances in metabolic engineering and synthetic …

Biocatalysis provides facile access to selective chemical transformations and helps satisfy
sustainable chemical production criteria. However, the reaction scope of biocatalysts is …

Microbes produce low-molecular-weight alcohols from sugar, but these metabolites are
difficult to separate from water and possess relatively low heating values. A combination of …
