In biorefineries, different kinds of feedstocks, such as biomass or lignocellulosic materials in general, can be used and fermented by microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, algae), after some pretreatment steps, to produce high added-value metabolites. More recently, wastes, wastewaters and also waste gases have been shown to be suitable for resource recovery or for their bioconversion to (bio)fuels (e.g., ethanol, butanol, hexanol, biodiesel, biohydrogen, biogas) or other commercial products (e.g., biopolymers). In this sense, much effort has also been made to bioconvert greenhouse gases, such as CO2, into useful products. The goal of this Special Issue is to publish both recent innovative research data, as well as review papers on the fermentation of different types of substrates to commercial (bio)fuels and (bio)products, mainly focusing on the bioconversion of pollutants in solid, liquid, or gas phases (wastes, wastewaters, waste gases). 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal$xBiodegradation 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal$xBiodegradation. 676 $a628.445 702 $aKennes$b Christian 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910598029603321 996 $aBioconversion Processes$92948958 997 $aUNINA
