Chemical Genomics Used For Bio Designing Bio Fuel Yeast

February 17, 2016 | Leave a Comment

University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have announced the design of a new strain of yeast that could improve the efficiency of making fuel from cellulosic biomass such as switchgrass. Both the yeast strain and the method of its design could help overcome a significant bottleneck in the biofuels pipeline – namely, that the powerful solvents so […]
