Conceptual model of toxicity in biorefining applications. Sugars are extracted from waste biomass for use as feedstock for platform organisms in a biorefinery. Metabolically engineered microorganisms convert sugars into valuable platform chemicals that are then further derivatized to large-volume chemicals. Product and feedstock toxicity are observed, thus limiting productivity of biorefining applications.
