Bio-Based Polyisoprene Can Mitigate Climate Change and Deforestation in Expanding Rubber Production
Biomass is a promising renewable feedstock to produce polyisoprene for the rubber industry. Through metabolic engineering, sugars derived from pretreated and hydrolyzed cellulose and hemicellulose can be directly fermented to isoprene to produce rubber. Here we investigate the life cycle environment...
