Abstract
Based on the great progress in organic polymer chemistry and fermentation chemistry, researchers of the 21st century have taken advantage of their accumulated knowledge and technologies for polymer synthesis. This chapter reviews the production of monomers, as well as polymers, based on the concept of "White Biotechnology". The phrase "polymer production by White Biotechnology" is defined as "technologies for synthesis of monomers and polymers by using microorganisms and enzymes" where less energy is required and less waste is produced.
