To provide a method of processing biomass to obtain useful products such as hydroxyl-carboxylic acids.SOLUTION: A method includes treating a reduced recalcitrance biomass (e.g., lignocellulosic or cellulosic material) with one or more enzymes and/or organisms to produce a hydroxy-carboxylic acid (e.g., an alpha, beta, gamma or delta hydroxy-carboxylic acid), and converting the hydroxy-carboxylic acid into a product.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】ヒドロキシル−カルボン酸等の有用な生成物を得るためのバイオマス処理方法の提供。【解決手段】低減化難分解性バイオマス（例えば、リグノセルロースまたはセルロース系物質）を１つ以上の酵素および／または生物体で処理して、ヒドロキシ−カルボン酸（例えば、アルファ、ベータ、ガンマまたはデルタヒドロキシ−カルボン酸）を生成すること、そしてヒドロキシ−カルボン酸を生成物に転化することを包含する方法。【選択図】なし
