对可持续资源供应的需要、植物生物技术和微生物遗传学的迅速发展以及主要化学公司向生命科学领域的战略转移，是重新引起人们对利用生物过程从可再生资源生产散装化学品的兴趣的一些推动力。本文简要介绍了微生物生产1,3-丙二醇的研究进展，并与其他化学生产工艺进行了比较，说明了生物生产工艺在大宗化学品生产中的应用前景和局限性。概述了生物炼制和生物商品工程的新概念和未来的研究需求。
The need for a sustainable resource supply, the rapid advances in plant biotechnology and microbial genetics and the strategic shift of major chemical companies into the area of life sciences are some of the driving forces for renewed interest in producing bulk chemicals from renewable resources by biological processes. The microbial production of 1,3-propanediol as briefly reviewed in this article and compared with the competing chemical processes demonstrates the promise and constraints of bioprocesses for bulk chemicals. The new concept of biorefinery and biocommodity engineering and future research needs in this area are also outlined.
