New Microbial Genetic System Dissects Biomass To Biofuel ConversionMadison WI (SPX) Jun 17, 2010 A research team at the DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) has developed a powerful new tool that promises to unlock the secrets of biomass degradation, a critical step in the development of cost-effective cellulosic biofuels. The details of this method were published online on June 11 in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. Fulfilling the promise of cellulosic biofuels requires developing efficient strategies to extract sugar molecules in biomass polymers like cellulo ... read more |

Tel Aviv, Israel (SPX) May 20, 2010Plant geneticists are on a determined quest - to control auxin, a powerful plant growth hormone. Auxin tells plants how to grow, where to lay down roots, how to make tissues, and how to respond to light and gravity. Knowing how to manipulate auxin could thus have enormous implications for the production of biofuel, making plants grow faster and better. A recent publication in the journal P ... more 
Kuala Lumpur (AFP) May 17, 2010Food giant Nestle will resume buying palm oil from Indonesian giant Sinar Mas if an independent audit clears the Jakarta-based firm of claims it is devastating rainforest, a Nestle official said Monday. The world's largest food company dropped Sinar Mas - Indonesia's biggest palm oil firm - as a supplier in March following protests by environmental group Greenpeace, after Anglo-Dutch compa ... more 
Livermore CA (SPX) May 17, 2010Understanding the key elements of biofuel combustion is an important step toward insightful selection of next-generation alternative fuels. And that's exactly what Lawrence Livermore and Sandia national laboratories researchers intend to do. In a new paper on the cover of the May 10 edition of the journal Angewandte Chemie, Sandia researcher Nils Hansen and Lawrence Livermore scientist Cha ... more |
