Abstract

Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful intermediates and products, such as hydroxy-carboxylic acids and hydroxy-carboxylic acid derivatives.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A method for making a product comprising:
 treating a reduced recalcitrance lignocellulosic or cellulosic material with one or more enzymes and/or organisms to produce an alpha, beta, gamma and/or delta hydroxy-carboxylic acid, and   converting the alpha, beta, gamma and/or delta hydroxy-carboxylic acid to the product.
