> Biotechnology for Biomass Conversion and Bioproducts will be an important branch in the field of Biotechnology. Besides, biotechnology for biomass conversion and bioproducts will also provide a new angle for researchers to learn about the plants. In this regard, a special session on Biotechnology for Biomass Conversion and Bioproducts were established. Abstracts being accepted in this special session include, but not limited to the following topics:

Biomass Feedstocks
Manipulation of feedstocks for conversion
Analytical methodologies for feedstock characterization
Enhanced practices for feedstock production and harvesting of biomass feedstock

Pretreatment of Biomass and Fractionation of Bioconversion
Physical pretreatment
Chemical pretreatment
Mechanical pretreatment
Biological pretreatment
Combination of two or multiple pretreatments
Integrated thermal biorefinery

Enzymatic Hydrolysis
Novel techniques for biomass depolymerizing enzymes
Enzyme engineering for improving enzyme activity and stability
Enzymatic cellulose deconstruction
