White biotechnology is a fast emerging area that concerns itself with the use of biotechnological approaches in the production of bulk and fine chemicals, biofuels, and agricultural products. It is a truly multidisciplinary area and further progress depends critically on the role of chemists. This article outlines the emerging contours of white biotechnology and encourages chemists to take up some of the challenges that this area has thrown up.
白色生物技术是一个快速兴起的领域，它关注在大宗化学品、精细化学品、生物燃料和农产品生产中使用生物技术方法。这是一个真正的多学科领域，其进一步发展严重依赖于化学家的作用。本文概述了白色生物技术的新兴轮廓，并鼓励化学家应对该领域提出的一些挑战。
