from either nature or culture have been tested and developed
as biocatalysts (Dashtban et al. 2009; Yu and Jin 2019;
Alahyaribeik et al. 2020; Patthawaro et al. 2020).
The aim of this chapter is to highlight the bioconversion
of the straw biomass into valuable bioproducts, the use of
pre-treatment methods such as the lignocellulolytic enzymes,
and the challenges for industrial-scale production.

Bioconversion may be carried out in the bioreactors or in
complete bio-refineries setup (Kennes 2018; Biernat and
Grzelak 2015). The bioreactor working conditions including
pH, residence time in continuous protocols, and the medium
